“I've used Damacia's services for the 2nd time and am very pleased with the way she cares for my senior dog! Will definitely use her services again.”


“Pamela and Paul were great at taking care of Oliver and keeping us updated on how he was doing. Oliver has separation anxiety which can make it difficult to find a sitter, but Oliver really enjoy his time with them. He showed very little anxiety and got along really well with their dog Marlowe. Pamela and Paul did a fantastic job and we were definitely be coming back!”

“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”


“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”

“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”


“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“I am thrilled to give Sheri a 5-star review for taking care of my pet, Happy, during boarding! Sheri went above and beyond to ensure Happy's comfort and happiness. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates she sent, complete with photos, to keep me informed and at ease. Her dedication, attention to detail, and love for animals truly shine through. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sheri, for taking such wonderful care of Happy! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”

“As always, Matt is a fantastic dogsitter. He took great care of our Dalmatian and Dachshund while we were out of the country, even giving extra love and TLC to our little girl when she had some tummy upset.”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”


“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our big, fluffy, Luna, who can certainly be exuberant at times! She kept me updated several times a day with great pictures. I would 100 percent use her again!”


“Jennifer and her home are perfect for our big, friendly dog. She was very welcoming and the yard was super - big enough for squirrel and rabbit sniffing,- but small enough for safety close to the shady deck! Her place was dog safe and had dog toys tucked away to find. He really enjoyed his over night stay and doggy play day. Will visit again.”


“They always treat our dog with the utmost respect and care. We feel their home is an extension of our own. Couldn’t be happier to have them watch our baby”


“Another successful stay for our little girl! I feel comfortable leaving our dog with Cassandre! I know she likes it there and is well taken care of!”



“Hilary and Willy were excellent hosts for Banjo! Our introduction started with a meet and greet, where Hilary spent a bit of time getting to know Banjo and ensuring she knew everything she could ahead of his stay. During his stay they sent several pics to let me know he was doing ok, which is always great when you're leaving your furry friend with new people. They took him for lots of walks and did whatever they could to make sure he was comfortable. Hilary and Willy are both super sweet people and I was very comfortable leaving Banjo in their care. It was evident upon first meeting that they really love spending time with animals and I didn't worry for one second that they would treat Banjo like he was their own. I will definitely use their services again!”


“Kat was great with our dog, Myrtle. She took Myrtle on plenty of walks and on a hike. She also provided plenty of updates/pictures throughout the day of Myrtle. Would definitely recommend using Kat as your dog sitter.”


“Amy was friendly and professional. Our dog was well-loved and cared for during his stay. She sent us cute pictures of our dog throughout the week. We will definitely book with Amy again!”



“I really appreciate the loving care Laura & her family gave Harvey while we were away for 2 weeks! It was our first time leaving him since adopting him in Nov & it was very important to me that he would be in a nice home that welcomed him as part of the family. That is exactly what Laura provided! She is easy going & a good communicator, responding to all my questions quickly before & during Harvey's stay & sending pictures & notes of Harvey's daily activities. I highly recommend Laura!”
