“What a wonderful experience for us and Hondo. He loved it and so did we. It was a completely stress-free time away knowing he was well tended. We got all the feedback we needed, pictures, videos, and texts. He got exercise, love, and a little bit of Thanksgiving turkey. When we got home, our pup headed straight to his crate and stayed there sound asleep for hours. Thanks Rachel to you and your daughters for loving him and playing with him. We're already getting our babysitting plans together for our next trip and we're relieved you'll be available for us!”
“Destinee was the best sitter for our puppy Indy! Our flight got cancelled and Destinee was more than willing to watch our pup for an extra day. She sent lots of pictures and I know he was in the best hands with her!”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker of my little dachshund! He had never stayed away from home before and she made him feel at home and settled. I would definitely use her again. She also kept me updated and sent photos and videos which helped me greatly🥰 I picked him up and he was happy and calm😁”
“Perfect mix of human and dog companionship for my 11 year old big boy. Brooke administered allergy medicine as requested. Already booked again for another week. Highly recommend.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mary and Jack! They were amazing with my dog, Daisy. Every picture and update from Mary showed Daisy completely comfortable and happy. Since coming home she has been zonked out. She loved being there with Mary, Jack and all the other dogs! I look forward to going out of town and letting Daisy go on vacation again! I highly recommend Mary for your pup! ”
“Brook was an absolute lifesaver for my dog and me! From our first introduction, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. She took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, routines, and even his little quirks. While I was away, Brook sent sweet updates and adorable pictures that made me smile and feel totally at ease. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and full of energy—he obviously had a blast with her! If you want someone who treats your dog like family, Brook is the best choice out there!”
“My boy Butch had an awesome time with Tosha! She took great care of him while my wife and I were out of state. I highly recommend her, and will definitely be using your services again, the next time we go out of town.”
“I am extremely satisfied with the services that Provided from Deborah and Jeffery. They are super attentive, warm and loving and provided lots of updates. I will definitely be using them for sure in the future! Thank you so much!”
“Christopher is great: friendly, a very good communicator, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys pets. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a caring sitter for your furry family members! 😀”
“Shelby was amazing with our girl!! VERY communicative, and treated Bea like she was one of their own. We’re looking forward to booking with Shelby again here very soon; couldn’t recommend more!!”
“Louie was very happy at Sharon’s and even had a play date. He got walked and Sharon went above and beyond with texts, pictures, and videos. We would definitely go back.”
“Literally the most incredible sitter. I had just gotten a little puppy, Elvis, recently and was terrified to leave him with a sitter for the first time. I would trust Sam with my life!!! She sent me so many photos and updates, and followed my list of things to a T. She is so awesome and I will definitely be booking her again. Such a great sitter, and I can tell she’s a great person too!!! And I think my dog loved her too hahah!!”
“Tori and Shasta sermed to have a great time with Nichole and family. We were nervous about leaving them as neither have boarded before. We thought Tori would be fine but she is a senior with some health issues. She did great and the picturrs we rrceived during her stay showed her doing her thing and I could tell she was happy and content. Shasta can be very energetic and though she is a sweet girl, she can be triggered into fear aggrrssive mode. She did great with no reported episodes, pics showed her interacting with Nichole. She also made friends and played with some other dogs there. We are so relieved and happy with our experience. Kudos to Nichole, husband, and the furbabies there. THAN YOU!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and they immediately made us feel at ease. I knew our two dogs, who had recently went through a big transition moving in with us after their previous family moved out of state, would be well cared for. We received daily pictures and the dogs seemed happy when we picked them up. Will definitely book again.”
“Yelena is simply awesome! Bella had a wonderful time, settled right into her home and back at ours without any issues! We received lots of updates and Bella was treated like part of the pack. We'll book with Yelena for as long as she's offering her services!”
