Alexis was awesome! Our dog enjoyed her time there. She was also flexible, which we really appreciated with a family emergency that came up. If you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby, book with her! :)

I could not be happier with Elezha’s care of our Khloe. She kept me informed of her daily activities and sent pictures each day. Khloe was extremely well taken care of and was right at home when I picked her up. Elezha definitely cares and it shows! I will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need services again. It’s a great feeling to know Khloe was left with someone who cared for her like family. Five stars for sure!!

This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Silvia. She is the absolute best. I can’t recommend her enough. My dog was having so much fun he didn’t want to come home 😂 her attention to detail, constant updates and videos really left me at ease. Thank you so much Silvia and Fam, Tony can’t wait for his next stay 🐶💖

I am EXTREMELY grateful to have found Erica! She's great with dogs and their humans too lol. I was able to leave my baby with her and there was not a moment I was worried about him or felt he was not getting the best love and care. I've already rebooked with her and recommended her to a family member of mine. Thank you again for taking such great care of my fur baby.

Heidi was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Fresa and made her feel completely at home. Fresa doesn’t usually get comfortable with others easily, but she warmed up to Heidi so quickly, which really speaks for itself. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about the dogs she looked after. Fresa came back happy and relaxed. Heidi also had excellent communication throughout the entire stay, kept me updated, and sent adorable pictures that gave me peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable.

Left my only child with Andrew and Talia once again, and once again could not be happier with the experience! I’m sure there are other sitters out there, but you would have to cast a wide net to find one like these two! They are kind, respectful, have a great environment at home, and go above and beyond for the animals they care for. Maya is legitimately a part of their family, and we are blessed to have them! If you are reading this as a first time customer, just go ahead and end the search cause you found them! Lol.

Andrea and her family took good care of our senior, diabetic, blind dog. She administered his insulin and eye meds with no problems. When we picked him up he was calm. He felt at home around Andrea and her family. We were thankful too for the pictures she sent us on how he was doing. Really happy we got her to care for our dog.

Zariah really cared for my dog and sent me daily updates. He took a little while to get adjusted and she made him comfortable which was important to me. She also let me know when he messed up (bathroom on her floor) but she was really sweet about it and still took care of him. He was sad to go so that’s always a good sign!
