“Raquel was super sweet and had a very clean and comfortable home with AC (a must given the current heat wave) and a fenced in backyard and front porch. She was very kind and her Westie Lilo seemed to be a good playmate for our Banksy. She sent me updates, photos and videos per my request so I could see Banksy was comfortable, getting out for walks and getting a long with Lilo. He was happy to see us when we picked him up and utterly exhausted from his stay. I highly recommend Raquel as a sitter!”

“Sadie had an excellent stay with Vanessa. You can tell that Vanessa and her family treated our dog like a part of their family. Vanessa sent daily photos/videos and updates. I 100% recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of our Sadie girl!”
“We have used John for Doggy Daycare and Dog Boarding and we could not be happier with his care for our Penny. When we adopted her she was so shy and we've been working to bring her out of her shell so we were worried when we first left her but John was so good at making us feel comfortable and allowing Penny the space to get comfortable with him. We got updated pictures, he got her to eat right on the spot (which has been a struggle) and he even had Penny out in the yard and starting to play with his dog, LaVerne. Whenever we pull up in front of John's house now, Penny's tail starts to wag and she gets so excited to see him! It's so comforting to know you are leaving your dog with someone who really cares and takes care of your animals. We are so lucky that we met John and we know Penny will have many more adventures with him! We can't recommend him enough. For this worry wort Mama over here - he did everything to help ease my anxiety over leaving her anywhere. If you want to leave your dog with someone you can trust, please consider booking with John! You will not be disappointed!”

“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
“Bella had a great time hanging out with Erin and her family. She got lots of ball time and cuddles. Erin made up feel very comfortable and welcomed our pup. She provided lots of photos and updates for the duration of Bella’s stay. We will be returning customers!”
“So thankful to have Chelsea as a sitter! I trust her completely with my dog and know she treated Bleu like her own. She was super thorough during the meet and greet and made sure to cover all the details. I loved getting regular updates with pictures and videos - it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Couldn’t recommend her more! :)”
“We couldn’t be happier with Theresa. She took such amazing care of our babies, kept us updated with great photos and funny details they did, she made sure our babies were happy and comfortable, really gave us so much peace of mind knowing they are safe and in good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for care and attentive sitter.”
“Holly usually takes a while to warm up to people but warmed up to Melanie right away. I needed a dogsitter quickly and Melanie took her with very short notice. Melanie sent a lot of pictures and I felt very comfortable leaving her in her care. For a very high energy dog, Holly was exhausted when she got home! I will definitely be using her again.”
“THANK YOU ANGELA!! I was beyond nervous leaving my two dogs for the first time ever for 10 whole days. Actually the most stressful part of my year was not planning my trip and destination wedding but wondering who was going to care for my dogs. After finding Angela, the very first time my husband and I met her at our initial "meet and greet" My fears instantly melted away. Upon walking into her home you just felt comfortable like you have known her and her husband Bruce forever. She took such good care of my two dogs while I was away. She sent me pictures of them every day happy and healthy. She has a beautiful, well cared for, fully stockade fenced in large back yard that the pups ran around all week. She fed them treats like chicken and turkey. And her beautiful sweet labradootle Bernie kept my pups entertained all week long. It was actually said to seperate the dogs upon returning home they had made such a good friend. I cant even tell you enough how comforting it was to wake up to her texts every day. She was by my two dogs side and cared for them 24/7 which to me was a HUGE relief. I cannot thank you enough Angela. We will see you on our next vacation!”

Ariel watched our dog for the first time. He came home happy and very relaxed. Charlie has a fear of thunder and some anxiety. Ariel understood this and let us know how he did when the weather was bad. She sent us pictures and information about how he was doing. We would definitely leave Charlie with her again.
We booked Lorena for our senior dog Onnie somewhat last minute as our regular pet sitter had a medical emergency only a couple of weeks prior to a two week vacation. Lorena was lovely to chat with via the Rover app and was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet. Onnie needs extra care as she takes an oral medication, topical medication and wears dog-diapers. Lorena handled it all in stride. We were left at ease knowing the Onnie was receiving amazing care and lots of love. We loved receiving lots of pictures and video updates. Lorena’s house and large backyard are clean and pet friendly. Lorena will be our go-to sitter from now on. Do not hesitate to schedule with her:)
