1. Lauren S.

“Lauren was able to watch my pup at a very late notice and was sooo quick to respond! She left me updates and was extremely professional. I felt very safe leaving my Nola girl with her and would recommend Lauren and would 100% use her again!”


2. Voss L.

“Amazing sitter and worked me with on my scheduling better than anyone else I’ve seen. Let my lab play and run around and he came back excited!”


3. Andrew C.

“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”


4. Jennifer G.

“Jennifer was very nice and kept me updated on Tito the whole time I was away. Very nice home and Tito was wore out the day I picked him up! Can’t wait for Tito to visit her again!”


5. Sarah R.

“Sarah saved the day and helped us out with a difficult situation. She communicated perfectly and really put my mind at ease. Sully was clearly very well taken care of and we’ll definitely use her again.”


6. Amanda T.

“Amanda goes above and beyond. This was our first time re-booking and she put so much thought into Bunny’s visit! Always excellent with sending updates and photos. We feel so comfortable leaving our puppy with Amanda!”


7. Kath & Jordan R.

“The communication, photos, and care have been great. We can trust that our dogs will come home happy, which is especially important for our older anxious girl. I’m pretty sure our girls are just as happy and comfortable at their house as they are ours .”


8. Brian C.
“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”




9. Erin M.

“Erin was fantastic with our two high energy pups! They had a great time and came home happy and tired. Will definitely use her in the future!”


10. Nathan B.

“Accommodated me on short notice. Nathan has strong attentiveness. Inquired about my preferences and if I had specific requests like wanting photos / my pups schedule in order to provide optimal care to him during their time together.”


11. Kelsey E.

“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”


12. Amy H.

“Amy was the best! We were at the hospital having our first baby and it was so nice to not have to worry about our puppy. She made him extremely comfortable and he loved staying with her. She was extremely flexible with timing and so helpful. Made our experience amazing. Definitely recommend booking with her! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.”


13. Virginia M.
“Virginia takes great care our farm dogs Charlie and Rosco. Keeps them on their daily schedule and follows our instructions. No hesitation is recommending her!”




14. Tania Z.


“We had a wonderful experience! Our little guy was well taken care of and had a blast with the other dogs. We received updates and pictures the whole time we were away”


15. Ann S.

“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”


16. Laura B.

“This was the first time I had left my five-year-old corgi since adopting him five months ago. Laura gave him all the attention and walks he needed. My only disappointment was that he wasn’t more excited to see me when I got back! He will definitely remember Laura next time.”


17. Chloe L.

“Elle loved staying with Chloe. I had a sitter cancel last minute and she was more than accommodating. She kept me updated with texts, pics and videos. She has other dogs that Elle loved.”


18. Larkin D.

“Excellent care! Made sure Carmelo was comfortable throughout his stay and provided great updates. Very reliable and communicative, would definitely love to have Larkin watch Carmelo again!”


19. Katie W.
“Katie has taken loving care of our dogs - both of whom required very specific handling around food and other dogs. We mostly relied on her for care during a very difficult transition for our elderly dog that meant the world to us. It was because of Katie's commitment and reliability that we were able to keep our precious girl as comfortable and healthy for as long as we were. In addition to the exceptional care she provided for our elderly dog, she handled our younger, bigger, more rambunctious dog with ease, and managed the interactions between the two of them very well. We highly recommend Katie!”


20. Shelby B.

“Shelby was awesome! My stinkerbutt is a bundle of chaos in a 55lb fur suit, and she gave him all the attention and exercise he needed to be happy. Her kiddos we’re great with him too! Would definitely recommend her to anyone. Travel and sleep well know your pet is being loved and cared for according to their specific needs!”
