They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”

“Kevin was super kind and easy to work with! Communication was great from the beginning as he was prompt with accepting my request. I received pictures during the stay which I appreciated and helped keep my mind at ease. He asked plenty of questions to make sure everything went smoothly. My baby was her jolly self when I picked her up which lets me know she was well taken care of. He clearly has a true love for animals. I would absolutely use Kevin services in the future and recommend you give him a try 10/10.”

Claire was wonderful hosting my little Yorkie for two full days while I was away. He was in great hands!! She was caring, loving and super patient with him. I received very detailed updates about his stay and he was super relaxed when getting back home. Thank you so much Claire! 🐾
We are super happy with Katherine! She took care of our dog Maxi for a weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us regular photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Maxi was well cared for and felt comfortable with her. Katherine is incredibly friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Rich was a great sitter for our dog! We had two back to back weekend trips so Rich watched Shea for 11 days. Additionally, my husbands flight home was delayed and Rich was very accommodating and flexible with picking up Shea. I would highly recommend him and would use him again!
This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Troy with someone and LisaLeigh made the whole process really easy! She kept me updated throughout the weekend and took great care of him. Troy came home happy and tired, which is all I could ask for. I really appreciated how smooth everything went and how flexible LisaLeigh was with the early pickup and drop off time. Will definitely book with her again for next trips out of town!
Melissa and Christian were absolutely wonderful with my dog. She required some special care during her stay, and they took all the responsibility without hesitation. They provided excellent care and sent daily updates just as promised, which gave me so much peace of mind! They are truly caring individuals, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets care. Thank you Melissa!!
Jess was amazing! She made us feel comfortable right away and was extremely responsive over text. She sent us fun pictures throughout the day and overall was very professional and thoughtful. Will be using her services again for sure! Also her pup Winnie is adorable!
