“Kaleigh went above and beyond caring for my two dogs. I could not be any more satisfied with the care that she provided and I most definitely will use her again!! My dog has health problems and I wasn’t comfortable boarding him and I am so glad I choose this option. You can not go wrong with booking her!”

“Shadia is amazing with our pups. We have two huskies and they love her. She is able to handle both of them on a walk together. Thank you, Shadia!”
“Leilani is very good with dogs. Rover immediately went up to her with no hesitation and was completely comfortable being around her. She made sure that she understood everything about Rover’s personality and I could tell that she is very knowledgeable about dogs and how to properly care for them. I am very confident that my dog will be getting exemplary care when he will stay with her. Rover clearly did not want her to leave when her visit with him was over.”
“I couldn’t recommend Hannah enough! This was our first time using Rover and we booked to have multiple daily check-in’s for our two cats. To start, Hannah was prompt to respond and easy to communicate with to set everything up for the booking and meeting. After meeting her in person, my husband and I both were instantly impressed - she is so friendly and we could tell that she was an animal lover with the way she interacted with the cats. When the check-ins began, Hannah updated us to say how every visit went and she even included multiple pictures. It was the best!!! The whole experience with Hannah was professional, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her.”
“Perfect care giver for my pets. Cheerful, punctual and caring.”
“Jennifer is phenomenal. Her love for my dogs made me feel very comfortable. She was on time, communicated well and spent time with the dogs playing ball and in the yard. Jennifer took great pictures and I will definitely use her again!”

“Sami has watched my dogs more than a handful of times and she is my absolute go to!! She has such a natural love for animals, especially dogs, and it shows in every visit (she has 2 of her own!) Any time I’m out of town or need a pop in visit she has been more than willing and genuinely enjoys spending time with my pups! There was one time one of my dogs was not acting normal and she immediately let me know and didn’t hesitate to take him to the emergency vet. Thanks to her quick thinking, he got the care he needed. She went above and beyond, and I’ll never forget that!! Sami is simply the best!”

Alison was an excellent caregiver to my senior dog and cat while I was out of town. She is also a great communicator with detailed reports. I will definitely be booking again. Thanks so much, Alison!
This is my second time having Sarah take care of my pup while I was on vacation and once again she did amazing. Of many great things, one thing that really stands out is that she is a great communicator. I am so glad I have found someone who I can trust with my pup when I am unable to be there!
