“We were very happy with the care this family gave our dog. We have a 14 year old cockapoo who doesn't hear too well but, other than that, is still a fairly energetic dog who loves to cuddle. We received daily updates with pictures and felt they truly cared about our dog :). Thank you, again!”


“Andrew was great, everything went perfectly. Casey was well cared for, much more than when she went to a regular kennel. I would absolutely recommend and I will certainly use Andrew again, couldn't have worked out any better.”


“Beth was great to work with. I have a high anxiety dog and it went much better than I hoped. Beth was calm and reassured me it would be fine and it was! It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation and not spend it worrying about our dog.”


“Kristen and family were fantastic with our (almost) 7 year old Goldendoodle. She shared a few pictures while we were away and it's instantly clear they treated our dog as if she had been with the family her entire life. Can't recommend enough!”


“We had such a great experience with Ashley & Christian! Finley made himself right at home. Their dog Chase was so welcoming to Finley. We received multiple picture updates of our happy boy. It was comforting knowing we didn’t have to worry while away.”


“John and Gretchen are over the top amazing hosts when they cared for Harper. Communication and updates were informative and fun, with pics. Harper looked quite at home and enjoyed her stay. I would highly recommend this couple as their passion to love and care for your pup as their own is unmatched. They are flexible and knowledgeable to accommodate proactive needs to help you dog adjust and enjoy their stay. Thanks again, Gretchen and John”


“Emma was amazing! Her communication was top-notch; she asked plenty of questions to really understand S’mores’ needs, and she kept us updated with photos throughout. She was so sweet, and we could tell S’mores had a wonderful time and was well taken care of. We will definitely book with her again!”


“Steven & Diane are great sitters and Bear has a great time. Very communicative and very intensive sitters. I have used Steven & Diane a few times now and will continue to do so.”


“Alyssa and David were AMAZING!! They kept us updated with pics and notes throughout our puppy’s stay. They have a welcoming home and so much love for dogs. Would highly recommend!”


“Lonnie and Steven were extremely welcoming and communicative during my dog Lucy's 1 week boarding stay. Lucy can be a little nervous, has anxiety around other dogs, and is picky eater, but they handled these challenges very well. I especially enjoyed getting pictures of her sitting with them on the couch and hanging out with them on the deck. They treated her like family. I highly recommend Lonni & Steven and would not hesitate to book with them again!”


“Jennifer is absolutely wonderful. My dog is anxious and fearful of new people and Jennifer really worked with her to try and get her comfortable. Jennifer really loves and cares about dogs and will treat your dog likes it’s one of her own. She communicates quickly and sends updates and photos. She is patient, kind and understanding and I will not hesitate to use her again in the future.”


“Bill went above and beyond taking care of our dog. Lots of walks, treats and snuggles. He kept us updated and sent lots of photos. Bill has great, positive energy. We will be sure to use him again.”


“It was an absolute delight working with Greta. Her love of dogs is apparent and she sent daily updates. Our dog, Winter, just started taking medication and that was no problem. Greta also gave Winter personalized care for specific issues like chewing (and eating) household objects and anxiety when we're away. Greta lives with her parents who work from home and that was a huge bonus as well. They obviously loved Winter as well and were available when Greta was at work. Winter was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend Greta as a dog sitter and will use her services again.”


“Aish and family are absolutely amazing. We feel so lucky to have her in our network as a second home for Romeo when needed. She is caring, a strong communicator and a wonderful human being. 10/10 recommend!”


“They took gentle and personal care of my baby girl pup, Rosie! Such a nice couple with a large yard and excellent communication. Love that they only take one rover family at a time. Will definitely book through them again.”

Katie & Zach were amazing with our dog Pluto for a few nights. This is the second time we have had them take our pup overnight & we will definitely use them again in the future. They are great with communication & I know our beloved dog is in the very best hands. He is always smiling in the photos they send & really enjoys their dog Honey as well. Highly recommend this couple if you need a dog sitter!

Sarah & Joe were wonderful with our dog Pluto. He stayed with them for 4 nights & they were great with communication. We felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands & was well cared for until we returned home. Their dog Woody was a very good playmate for our dog too. They became fast friends which sweetened the deal. We look forward to having them pet sit for us again in the future!
