“Vanessa is incredible. The whole family loved our dogs like they were their own. She was communicative and flexible - truly couldn’t ask for a better experience.”

“John treats my dog like his own. John really seems to enjoy the time he has with Deuce. The funny thing was, Deuce hardly wanted to go home with me when I picked him up. Deuce wanted to continue to play. I don't have to worry at all when I leave Deuce with John.”

“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

“I have to tell you I never left my baby before and was nervous and Jen and her family made me and nacho feel so comfortable. They treated him part of the family right away and he had the time of his life while was away I was so at ease and trusted her with all my heart . I got tons of videos and pics all day and he was in his glory and that’s all that matters amazing job Jenna Dan thank u again . I will never be using someone else she got our business forever thank u again xoxoxxo fantastic job if there is 10 stars that’s what she truly deserves”

“Erin is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had!! We were extremely impressed with the level of care our 2-year-old boxer received. Erin was attentive and clearly experienced with high-energy dogs. We received regular updates and photos which provided peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was definitely living her best life while in Erin’s care and we returned to a happy, well-adjusted dog. We highly recommend Erin to anyone seeking a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Kristen was great with Hudson the English Mastiff. Kept us updated on him settling in to his new surroundings for the week and she made us feel at ease. Would definitely rebook with this Rover in the future. Keep up the great work and thanks again.”

“We had a good experience with Alejandro and I can’t thank him enough. He accepted our dog, Bleau very last minute after another sitter no-showed, which already meant so much to us. He took the time to introduce Bleau to his dog slowly and properly, which made us feel really comfortable right away. Throughout her stay, he sent daily videos and updates, so we always knew she was doing well. We even accidentally left her bowls behind, and when we went back to pick them up, Bleau was so excited to see him again — which says everything about how well she was treated. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches.”

“Veronique and husband are wonderful dog sitters they we’re very caring , patient and loving with our old and grumpy baby, we received updates every day I would recommend them we are very happy with the service and time thank you 😊”

“Couldn't be more thrilled ...our 1 year old Shih Tzu who is still learning and is an overactive puppy can be a bit much to watch all day; so we were very concerned about leaving her with strangers overnight. However Theresa was fantastic not only did she allow us to bring all Peanut's stuff (pack and play crib/playpen and tons of toys, pillow, blanket, doggy dishes etc.) but she understood the fact that because this was all new to our young dog she especially took pains to know what Peanut's needs were. At first Peanut did not even want to enter the home and shied away from Theresa but Theresa took the time to win over Peanut and by the time we left her she was playing with her toys. Theresa sent us pictures of Peanut playing and having fun. We were especially happy knowing Theresa only takes one dog at a time in her home because our dog is small and young and doesn't know how to socialize with other pets (our vet wouldn't allow this until all her shots were completed) and Peanut is from a home with only adults and no small children we worried that other sitters who take in more than one dog or had their own pet might become a problem. However Theresa's policy of only one dog at a time who also doesn't have her own pet, and doesn't have numerous children which might be a concern for pets unused to active kids. Theresa's dog sitting arrangement was an ideal win win for us and Peanut. She will become our dogs sitter from now on as Peanut loved her and her family and now we can relax whenever we need to go out of town or just need a sitter for a day. Thank you Theresa and family you were the best!”


“Gabby took great care of Sodo and he seems to have really enjoyed his stay. While she may have several dogs at once boarding, there is plenty of room and she is conscientious about making sure all interactions among the dogs are positive. She sent pictures and daily updates and treated Sodo as one of her own dogs. Her large, fenced backyard was ideal for Sodo as well. Would definitely use Gabby again should the opportunity arise.”
“Donna was so great with Gretl. She constantly updated me with pictures and videos and it made me feel at peace knowing my puppy was in good hands. I will certainly use her again.”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”

“Sara and her family are wonderful! Our dog Ember has stayed with her many times over the last few years and always has a great time. Sara sends frequent updates and I always feel comfortable knowing that Ember is getting amazing care. Thank you Sara :)”

“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.”

“Christian is a true animal lover and made Benji feel right at home! He was attentive and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay. Glad to have found a trustworthy sitter in the area!”


“Cathy was excellent with my dog. She sent daily updates and pictures. She treated my dog as if it were her own. She is loving, compassionate and caring, I highly recommend her?”

Our doggos took an instant liking to Kyla, whom from this first instance of contact was so incredibly polished and professional and really helped put us at ease. She sent is pictures for updates and answered all of our questions. We will definitely be repeats, our dogs had a superb time and hardly missed us at all

We can’t say enough great things about Samantha! This was our first time ever leaving our dog Luna with someone, and from the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease. She was kind, communicative, and treated Luna like her own. Luna was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved during her 3-night stay. We’re so grateful to have found Samantha and would absolutely trust her with Luna again!

I left my dog Bruno with Dannica and Chris for a week, and they took excellent care of him. They sent regular updates and several photos every day, which made me feel comfortable knowing he was doing so well. I would definitely leave Bruno with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog sitters. Thank you Dannica and Chris!
