“Chloe had a great time, we were sent many photos of her from finding her comfy spot to videos playing & having a good time. She was well cared for & was so very comfortable.”


“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our two small dogs than what Randal and Karen provided. From start to finish, they treated our pups like family, giving them all the love and attention they’re used to at home. We truly appreciated the constant updates and adorable photos—they made it so much easier to be away, knowing our dogs were in such great hands. It was clear they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. We’ll absolutely be booking with Randal and Karen again!!”

“Samantha and her family were just terrific with my dog Ripple. I could tell he was well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone who is looking for an excellent doggie sitter.”

“Second time using Alain and he still did an amazing job. Our girl was happy to go and really enjoyed playing Max and Alain’s son in their big backyard. Thank you again for your great service!”

“Thomas & Lyndsay took good care of our dog. Sparky seem to be already at home on the second day. Communication is so easy with no fuss. I would not hesitate using them again on our next vacation!”

“Gladys was lovely and kind; she took excellent care of my dog. She went above and beyond my expectations. Gladys has numerous toys for dogs and treats them exceptionally well. We had a wonderful conversation about homemade recipes for my dog, and she even offered to share her special dish for dogs with him. Boomy was delighted with it! He had a great time playing with her dog, and they got along very well.”

“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”


“Jerry and Sharon took such good care of my 15 year old Yorkie/poo. Jerry sent pictures and updates daily. I booked a second stay and Teddy was eager to get into their house. That tells me that he was happy there. I also appreciate that Jerry only has one or two dogs at a time. I highly recommend him.”

“My pup was so happy after her stay w Teresa! After just one meet and greet, when I pulled in the driveway, my 4yr old started her happy dance and song! Teresa is kind, gentle, and loves her guests. I will def return. Thank you Teresa!”

“As usual, Khaos had a fantastic time. She caught an upset stomach but Natasha and Gaspere were quick to communicate about it and did everything they could to help soothe it. I’m very grateful that my pup is always in good hands here.”

“Gulcin took amazing care of my two cats. I boarded them at her home and they could not have been more comfortable, happier, or better cared for. Would absolutely recommend this sitter.”

“Krista provided excellent care for Bailey. He enjoyed his stay immensely and was a bit sad to leave since he had so much fun. Krista provided daily updates and was very accommodating when my flight got delayed. Highly recommend her services. Thank you, Krista!”

“Diana provided very good care of our Aussiedoodle for 13 days. Videos of walks were sent to us while we were out of town, along with Diana's updates. As we were driving to pick up our doggie, we could see him in the driveway (on a leash of course) wagging his tail. He was so happy playing with Diana's teenage son. We are very pleased with Diana's service, and we will definitely use her boarding service when needed in the future.”

“Both our dogs Molli and Febe stayed Claudia and her wonderful family for 3 days and they had love and affection by all the family Claudia especially sent texts with photos of their involvement with her younger children as Molli and Febe love little people too If you need a dog sitter Claudia is a wonderful caring dog sitter she will treat your pets as her own she was always willing to give Molli and Febe a belly rub Their Favorite Claudia gets 5***** 5AAAAA 5+++++ Highly recommend for all your precious pets”

“Vivian did a great job keeping me updated on how everything was going with our dog. She didn't just give me general updates, but instead, she provided details and made me feel at ease. I was confident that our dog was being well taken care of.”

“It was so wonderful to be able to leave my little pup and feel comfortable that he was well taken care of. I’m more than happy to recommend.Meltem! I will definitely be using my same Rover sitter in the future”
