“Ciara is so great, very communicative. Had fun with my dog and I could tell Raven also had a blast! She sent some cute and fun photos! I would absolutely recommend Ciara for your dogs needs!”
“Lindsay (and by extension her family) was great to my dog, Charlie. Through daily texts and photos, I got the sense that Charlie became an extension of their family. He undoubtedly loved all the attention from Lindsay's kids and other dogs, and this made me happy because dogs deserve and need that kind of social interaction. Her house was spotless and odorless at drop off and pick up despite having multiple dogs at one time. This gave me confidence that Lindsay was efficient and effective at dog sitting and simply running a house. She is highly recommended and I will be requesting her services again.”
“Our dog ended up needing to be on medication right before we were going to head out of town but we had no hesitation still bringing her to Mackenzie’s despite that because we LOVE Mackenzie and trust her to take care of our girl! We are so grateful to have someone we trust to care for our dog when we leave town!”
“My fur babies had a wonderful stay with Taylor. She is so kind, even my sensitive pup, June warmed up to her instantly! Taylor was very flexible when our pickup /drop off times shifted and checked in during the visit to let me know the puppies we doing good. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking to have a pet sitter they can trust. Thank you so much Taylor! We will book again with you soon! ☺️”
“Amanda and her family took great care of my Remi. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and Remi always looked happy and having fun. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for great care of their dogs. We will be definitely using her again!”
“Laurie is an amazing dog sitter! She sends up dates and pictures for Syvia. I will continue to use Laurie for pet sitting and highly recommended to Rover and friends!”
“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Jack is always welcomed by Laura and any other pets staying at her house! She is so sweet to send pictures and updates of the days activities! She is our first choice!”
“Brent and his fur 'boys' General and Marshall were fabulous host for my little Laksi. He was caring, responsive, and all were very playful. Brent sent videos and lots of pictures of him walking my dog upon my requests and was consistent everyday. Laksi and I had a great experience. I would recommend his services to anyone and I will look forward to choosing him for my next pet sitter needs.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Angelica was super responsive and sweet! She made sure Coop was comfortable with his first night away from home. He was worn out from all the playing when we picked him up! Definitely recommend for your pups!”
“Rebecca is amazing! She does a great job taking care of our dog. She treats him like he's one of her family and he loves being there. She sends regular picture updates so we know he's doing well when we're away. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Great experience and a wonderful family. They loved our dog like he was their own. From the pictures they sent us, Sarge looked like he was living his best life while we were gone. Definitely a 5 star stay.”
“Nathen was wonderful! He was flexible and communicative, and really put us at ease from the first moment we met him. Max had big fun at Nathen’s, playing with the other dogs! Nathen texted us while we were away, and sent a video of Max playing with the other dogs, so we could see he was loving his stay there. We’d love to have Nathen keep Max again, and it’s such a relief to find someone so caring for our sweet boy!”
