“Karen made our dog feel right at home and has a perfect fenced in yard that is dedicated to the dogs. Her Lab made the perfect companion to keep our excited pup busy and entertained. Karen also sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with, definitely going to be returning next time we need a sitter!”

“Cierra and her family did a great job boarding my dog for a long weekend. Communication was fantastic and my dog was thrilled to have lots of love and attention. I had no doubt he was in good hands.”

“Anne was amazing! So attentive and took in mind my dogs usual routine- and took extra great care of her! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely recommend her.”


“This is the first time we left Odie for over a week anywhere. Bethany sent us pictures and let us know how he was doing. Bethany is so great. We were able to leave and know that he was in the best hands possible. She loves what she does and truly cares for each and every dog she takes care of. We are so happy we have someone like Bethany to take care of Odie when we are away. She is the best! Thank you for loving our pup as much as we do!”

“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”

“Thank you Matthew for taking care of my baby while I was gone for a weekend . I appreciate the pictures you sent and playing fetch with him . Will definitely recommend to friends !”

“Natasha was amazing, I was extremely on the edge as my stay was a longer stay.She ensured my dog was comfortable and followed up and provided daily updates.I will soon be rebooking. So glad I found her. Thanks a ton Natasha.”

“Emilee was wonderful with Benji. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will also use her again in the future. She was great with my fur baby and am so thankful to her!!”

“Our dogs had the best weekend with Kexin and Carlos (and their new furry friends)! Everything was super easy and smooth. They kept us updated with great pictures and videos and even gave us sweet mementos of their stay. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend them!! Thank you both so much for your thoughtfulness and care with Franklin and Riley!”


“Misael was great for our big dog Dozer. Super friendly. Willing to do w.e it takes to make sure everything works out. Dozer is not an easy dog to watch and misael knew exactly how to handle dozer which is saying alot for a 74 pound sheepadoodle who has massive separation anxiety. Now im confident knowing if we have to have him watched again for a trip Misael will be my first and only choice. If you have a big dog that's hard to handle he's your guy! Thank you so very much for going out of your way for us and Dozer.”


“Karen is a very professional pet sitter! She was understanding and kind and kept me updated with my pup during the entire stay. I will book with her every time! Thank you”

“Heather was a great sitter for our dog Sasha. She was very accommodating for our drop off and pick up and felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her for a long weekend. We would love to use Heather again in the future.”
“Left my puppy with Erica for 4 nights. Needed her to stay an additional night and Erica was able to accommodate and take her! Never have to worry when my puppy is with her! Always getting updates and pictures of my puppy. We will definitely be a repeat client!”

“Sarah is an amazing cat sitter! She is very loving and caring and my cats adore her! She send the most beautiful pictures and videos everyday which makes so happy. Thank you so much Sarah!”

“This was my first time using Julie and I couldnt have found a better place to bring my pup. She kept me up to date on how Toby was and sent me a bunch of pictures of how happy he was. I have already booked her again and I am so happy I found her!!!”

“Keasha and her son are the best ! First time using Rover and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them. You can tell Keasha and her son love animals. Pictures and video updates were awesome to receive. Will definitely ask them to watch her again. Highly recommend.”

“Isabel was so amazing!! She kept me updated and sent pics every day, and I could tell my pup was having a great time being loved in a safe environment by an awesome family. I’ll absolutely be booking her services in the future when I have to travel because the peace of mind was incredible.”

“I literally cannot say enough good things about Danielle, she blew me away. The pickup and dropoff is sooo helpful, she's amazing at communicating, and she absolutely pampered my dog. She is a treasure, and I'm so glad I discovered her!! We will certainly be using her again!”

“She took excellent care of our boy and he had a great time playing with the sweet Lucy. Courtney provided us with updates and pictures and was always easy to get a hold of.”

Best. Rover. Ever!!! Our pup had the absolute best time ever at Ashley’s place with her family and own pup. K played nonstop with her new bestie. Ashley was super communicative and sent the most beautiful pictures and sweet updates. Thank you x a million! K can’t wait to go back 😁

Caera was amazing! From the start, I felt super comfortable leaving my pup with her. She kept me updated with messages and the cutest pictures, which made me feel so at ease. I could tell my dog was happy, loved, and totally spoiled while I was away! She was super sweet, followed all my instructions, and really went the extra mile. It honestly felt like my dog was on a mini vacation too. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much, Caera, you’re the best!
