“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“Excellent stay and care for Sweetie 💕 Beth was amazing and very friendly, responsive and took great care of my pup. Additional perk, Sweetie found a new BFF. 100 % recommend”
“Katerina is a wonderful sitter who was attentive, experienced, and genuinely loved my dog King. She provided daily updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. King returned happy and well-cared for, which is all I could ask for. I highly recommend Katerina for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Definitely will book with her again! Cheers”
“Fantastic experience for both myself and my puppy. I have only left my puppy a few times with others and Carol did an excellent job with Pearl. Excellent communication and photos were sent while I was away on business. That helped me relax knowing that she was in good hands.”
“Viktoryia and her husband were amazing with my baby! Took such good care of her and sent me lots of pictures to feel comfortable! Will definitely have them watch Sophie again when I leave town!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“Leslie is a reliable and experienced caregiver. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel completed an entire week with Leslie. He enjoyed time with other smaller dogs, lots of time outdoors as well, and was hand fed for each meal- typical for this breed. 😊 Leslie provides many photos along with a summary of morning and evening daily activities. Overall she is a terrific sitter, with a nice home environment for my spaniel. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when you can trust the person who is caring for your dog.”
“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Thelma took great care of Jazz, my little westie. She sends me a video of Jazz having fun. It was a short visit, one night only. We will book with Thelma again. Highly recommended. Thank you Thelma. Greatly appreciate.”
“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”
“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”
“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Cindy and Steve were the best hosts we could have asked for our pup. The yard is perfect with lots of room to run around, and we got timely updates on Ruger's status including photos and videos. I would definitely go back to them in future.”

I contacted Cristal last minute for a quick 3 day getaway we planned and she was able to accommodate me with the help of her daughter in law. Mia came to pick up Nikki and promptly arrived at our agreed upon time. It was our first time ever leaving our girl with anyone other than family or friends so we were a bit nervous. Mia provided us with daily updates including pictures, which I truly appreciated. It sounded as though Nikki was super happy and that was a relief. Mia loved Nikki’s company too and that warmed my heart. Nikki was dropped off to us on time, happy, fed and walked for the night. It was a pleasure working with Cristal and Mia and we hope to use their services again in the future.
Bennett did a great job watching Grouper for the weekend. He was responsive and easy to communicate with, and he helped coordinate drop-off and pick-up times smoothly. He kept me updated on Grouper’s health and overall status while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. When I picked Grouper up, he was happy and healthy, and it was clear he had been well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Bennett to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.
My dog Cupcake stayed with Mr. James for 3 days while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came back to pick her up, she seemed like she didn’t even want to leave that says everything! Mr. James took great care of her, and the place was clean, safe, and a very nice environment. I felt comfortable and at peace knowing Cupcake was in good hands. I highly recommend Mr. James to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Giselle had a great time with Charlotte and her other pup guests. Charlotte kept me updated on how my little girl was doing along with pictures everyday. Was even able to keep my pup calm and comfortable during the fireworks. I really appreciate the great care and love she gave my little one. I plan on contacting Charlotte through Rover again for Giselle's care for any future trips!
Jessica is amazing and everything you want from someone to take care of our lovely furry friends. We boarded our 17 week old pup with Jessica and could not be happier with our decision. She is observant, caring, kind, flexible, and never failed to provide updates and communicate with us when our pup stayed with her. I highly recommend Jessica and would 1000% board with her again!
