“First time leaving Gus for a long time. Courtney kept me at ease with her great communication and sharing photos! Her dog Lucy and Gus hit it off right away. I’ve already rebooked for another upcoming trip! Recommend 100/10”



“Laurie is a fantastic dog sitter! Truly can’t say enough good things about her and our dog’s experience spending 10 days in her care! Our pup is very afraid of new people and new dogs so we were nervous about leaving him with someone new. But we did a trial run and we spent about a half hour there before leaving him and Laurie was SO good with our dog. You can tell she is well trained and knows what she is doing. She knew how to handle our dog to make him comfortable with her and her dogs. She lessened his anxiety and mine with her confidence, calm demeanor, and knowledge of dogs with anxiety. Then when we actually went on our trip, she texted us almost daily updates and many photos and videos! It was such a joy to receive them. She lives right by some beautiful land with trails and fields and water, which is any dogs’ dream! The photos were gorgeous (truly some of the best photos we have of our dog) and you could tell he was so happy in them and loving life. When my husband went to pick up our dog he told me the dog was excited to see him but also sad to be leaving Laurie and was cuddling up next to her and rolling on his back for pets. It was clear that he loves Laurie and his time with her and her dogs and we couldn’t ask for more!”

“My puppy Luna literally did not want to leave. Not only are Nicole’s dogs friendly, her family is wonderful. My dog felt at home and appeared to make new friends.”


“Jenna and Micheal took great care of Shep! We loved all the videos and photos they sent over the long weekend - it was so great that Shep had a friend to play with all weekend, he was super tired when we picked him up”


“Anely was such a great sitter for Rina! She sent so many updates and photos and helped keep my mind at ease while we were away for the weekend. She responded quick and on short notice which was a life saver! We’ll definitely be using her again!”


“Great couple, took wonderful care of my two dogs, on short notice. When my car broke down on my ride home, they even brought my dogs back to my house for me. Very nice people that do a great job”


“Ashley took great care of my 11 year old small dog who needs to take medication 2x/day! She is typically anxious around new people but immediately felt comfortable from the moment she met her. Ashley was great with sending me updates and reassuring me that she was settling in well. Thank you again, Ashley!!!”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Aslan! She sent such cute update pics and I could tell Aslan had the best time. I couldn’t have picked a better sitter. Thanks so much again Sarah!”



“Jessica took such great care of our Lulu! Daily photo updates let us know she was having a great time. And when our travel plans changed, Jessica was able to be flexible with our pickup time. It definitely takes one of the stresses of travel away when I know our girl is being well-loved.”


“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.”

“Adriana and her husband took amazing care of Max. She welcomed Max into their home on short notice after another sitter canceled. Max was there for an extended period of time allowing for my trip out of the states. She sent pictures throughout with open communication. I would highly recommend Adriana for you fur baby as they will be in great hands!!”



“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog daisy! She kept me updated with pictures and videos multiple times a day! Our flight home was cancelled and we ended up having a 5 hour delay to get back and she was very understanding and loving! Would definitely recommend her! Her 2 dogs were amazing with daisy also :)”


“Chris and Whitney took wonderful care of our pup. Lots of updates and pictures. She is an anxious girl and was right at home with other dogs to play with. Look forward to booking with them in the future!”


“I'm fortunate to have found Celina when I needed a pet sitter for the weekend! It was a pleasure meeting them, as they were kind and understanding when I expressed my concerns about Otto and leaving him in a new environment. I liked that they spend the time to get to know me and my pup before committing. Smokey is also a great pup, he's so sweet and clever and it was great watching him adapt his play with Otto. It's also clear that Celina and Smokey have a great relationship and love each other a bunch. They do great with establishing boundaries and advocating for the pups when it's needed. Celina also sent me photos of Otto's stay, which were all adorable to see! Communication was easy and simple, which I'm very appreciative of. Overall, it was a great experience working with them and I will definitely book again :)”


“Gilbert was absolutely amazing with Diesel! We got multiple videos daily of Diesel and Moon running around the yard, playing with each other. We got updates on how he did every day! Diesel was a very happy boy during his stay. We will definitely come back to Gilbert again when we need a sitter for Diesel. ☺️”


“Isabella was amazing. She responded to me immediately when I needed last minute care for my pup! It was a smooth and easy process, we had a nice meet and greet, and the next day drop off was quick and simple. Isabella was communicative and sent videos and pictures of my girl I felt at ease. My energetic puppy was ready for a good snooze and was well fed and happy when I picked her up from Isabella the following evening after her sleepover. I would definitely trust Isabella with my puppy anytime.”


“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”


“I used Rover for the first time time with Emily and she kept me updated with pictures of my Lyla multiple times a day. She made me feel so reinsured and had a great fenced in yard for the dogs to roam. She even let my Lyla sleep with her which was so sweet! Thank you so much Emily!”
