1. Lawrencia C.
“We love Lawrencia so much!! She watched my fur baby for a week while out of town and he had so much fun. She sent pictures everyday and took such great care of him as always. Highly recommend :)”
2. Rachel K.
“This was our first time working with Rachel and she was great! She was spot on with communication, sharing photos, updates and asking questions if needed. We definitely had the feeling that our two hounds were in good hands and getting plenty of love! All of this helped make our time away more relaxing and enjoyable. She has two dogs of her own and everyone seemed to get along really well, both playing and chilling together. We'd highly recommend Rachel and won't hesitate to reach out to her in the future.”
3. Cailey P.
“Cailey was amazing. Always kept me in the loop on how my pup was doing. Sent lots of pictures and videos. My dog enjoyed himself and will continue to use you when I have to make trips. Thanks for everything.”
4. Sally B.
“Sally was amazing! She allowed us to come to her home beforehand for a brief introduction. She was accommodating when I informed her of Pluto’s needs, pick up and drop off ran smoothly, and she kept me up to date while I traveled! Will definitely be booking with Sally again.”
5. Dawn M.
“Dawn provided wonderful care for my Pomeranian. Really appreciated that Dawn was willing to flex to my busy schedule. She kept me informed throughout the stay. I got to enjoy my time away without worries.”
6. Nate & Aylissia L.
“Look no further - Nate and Aylissia are the sitters you want for your pet! They are phenomenal. They made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met for a meet-and-greet. Their pups were a great addition to the stay, making the experience feel like a true vacation for my dog while I was away. Nate and Aylissia sent photos, videos and updates daily from t not only inside their very clean home but also from their beautiful, lush green backyard. Overall, I felt like my dog was safe and loved! I would not hesitate using them for as you next sitter!”
7. Ellen F.
“Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!”
8. Jessica M.
“Jessica was great! She was communicative and sent a few very cute pictures of my dog throughout his long weekend. She has a great setup for dog watching. I'm excited for my dog to stay with Jessica again!”

“Cindy was a great Rover!! She spent lots of time with our pup Dublin and sent lots of pictures. He had a great time there, will definitely be booking Cindy again 😊”
10. Lynsie D.
“Lynsie was an INCREDIBLE for our sweet Olive! This is the first time using Rover and we have found our perfect sitter. From sending beautiful pictures and updates throughout the day to letting us know some eye discharge Olive was having and getting her what she needed while we were gone, we cannot recommend Lynsie and her Olive enough to care for your pup!”
11. Angie Y.
“Angie is awesome ! We done a meet and greet before our pups stay and got to meet her personally and her pups which meant a lot , made us feel 100x better after dropping them off ! Kept us updated and sent pictures of our fur babies !! Highly recommend ! We will deff use her again !!!!”

13. Kathryn B.
“Kathy kept our puppy in her home for 6 days while my husband and I were out of town. Rooney always has such a blast and gets along well with her other dogs. She always sends pictures and updates throughout the day. It’s so nice to be able to go away and know that Rooney is well taken care of. We love Kathy!”
14. Dajon S.
“Dajon was great! He was able to watch my pup very last minute for a couple days. He sent pics and videos every day and made sure my pup was comfortable! I will definitely use him again in the future!”
