“Lily is always so reliable, caring and flexible to the needs of our older dog. We feel so lucky to have found Lily and have been using her for pet care for 2+ years now. Our dog looks forward to seeing her dogs, as well. She also takes great photos and videos and communicates with us perfectly. Thank you, Lily and family!”


“Dew was wonderful! Our sweet girl can be nervous and uneasy in new situations and Dew was endlessly patient and warm putting her at ease while she was staying with her. Dew sent pictures adn updates to keep us in the loop and was super quick in responding to any questions we had! I would absolutely recommend her and hope to have her pet sit Sankaty for us again!”


“Matt and his family were absolutely amazing watching my big guy Jake for the week. Cannot recommend them enough, they truly treated him like family and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Thank you!”


“Nicole was very good with my dog. My dog needed medicine daily and she was happy to help with that She sent updates regularly and I could tell my dog enjoyed being at her place.”


“Badger felt right at home with Anner! Anner has proven to be a great Rover and host, shared pics and was always communicative. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking Anner in the future!”


“Katie had the best, most nurturing and relaxing experience! When I picked Katie up I could tell she felt secure. Katie can have separation anxiety but she was handled perfectly (walks, pets, a nap). I received lots of pictures and texts so I was comfortable too.”


“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”


“Michelle D. Was great with my dog because she sent me a photo every day and my dog was returned to me just as happy as ever. No signs of stress which was my experience 20 yrs ago so this was first time I took a risk. We meet before so my baby could recognize the home a people when I left her. I scheduled a second visit but I was unable to go. Michelle's home is perfectly set up with fenced in level yard and she allows dog to stay free in the house. She even let my baby stay on her bed. This women is an angel. So happy I found her. She's the best!”


“Laura and her family took great care of my 3 yo beagle mix. He’s got an autoimmune disorder with extreme food sensitivity and takes meds 3x daily. They were attentive to his needs, sent photos everyday, were super responsive and patient, and allowed me to show them how to administer the medicine. Both of us felt right at home, lol! We’ll be back thank you so much!!”


“We are so happy to have found Erika! She takes great care of our 19lb doodle and sends lots of photos. She’s super easy to communicate with and is very personable as well.”


“Judith and her family were the perfect hosts. She made it so easy to book with her timely response and was flexible in accommodating my dog fairly last minute. Our dog is a senior and requires meds. She was very willing to accommodate him and went out of her way to do lighter walks and play. Her dogs and kids were all very welcoming and my dog came home happy, well fed, rested and content. She sent regular updates and photos so we knew he was safe and happy. We are so grateful for Judith and her family!”


“Hazard took great care of my dog. She sent consistent photos and videos, and even sent 2 pet reports! Willa was happy and in great shape when I picked her up. I would definitely use Hazard again!”


“The dogs were well cared for and seemed happy when we picked them up. Marcella was very accommodating for flexibility for drop off and pickup. Her location was an excellent match for us. She seems like a great person to have care for your pets when you need to leave them with some one.”


“Kyle was great! He kept his word regarding caring for our 2 dogs on a holiday weekend. He evaluated for a good fit prior to committing just as we did for a sitter. He was not only comfortable with my very large dog but, understood their behaviors. He provided updates and was extremely easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend.”


“Kara is a dream come true. Lovely, funny and so conscientious. With every visit to my home, she texted me updates about my fur babies. She also did me a huge favor when asked and I was so grateful for her kindness. She went the extra mile leaving everything in order and super clean. Alfie, Louis and I can't wait to welcome Kara and her sweet daughter, Mia back for another kitting sitting gig. Xoxo”


“Dana took excellent care of my dog Milo while we were away! She sent pictures and frequent updates. She was easy to communicate with and catered to all of my dog’s needs. I felt very comfortable and will definitely use Dana again for future stays. I highly recommend her!”


“Andrea did a great job watching our dog. He seemed really happy and like he had a lot of fun! It’s always nice to know your fur kid is being well cared for when you are away.”
