“Madeline and Joe were there for me in a sudden pinch to care for my Frenchton for almost 2 weeks. They sent regular videos, pictures, and updates to keep me in the loop as to how he was and help me feel comfortable. I chose them originally as they asked me just as many questions as I had for them, which shows they know proper care (they also have their own dog, too), and want to make sure that there is mutual trust. I will most certainly be using them in the future!”


“I am grateful that I found Pallavi she was wonderful with kylo and kept me updated. I loved and cared for him and I can tell he enjoyed his stay with her as well.”


“Beverly was amazing especially due to the short notice! She kept me in the loop all weekend and I felt reassured my pup was in good hands especially for a first time stay. Super responsive and such a sweet person! Thank you so much again!”


“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”


“Tammy is the absolute best sitter I’ve ever encountered on or off Rover. She sends pics and videos, communicates throughout the stay and has been a lifesaver when it comes to emergencies/short notice situations. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“Holly is always happy to go and stay with Allesha I get a picture and video every day Holly stays with her. Allesha is a wonderful and amazing person and Holly loves being with her when I am away. Thank you again Allesha 🙂”



“Joseph is an absolute gem. His kind energy puts us at complete ease whenever we leave Bubbles in his care. His communication is great and every picture that he sends us, Bubbles always has a big smile on her little wrinkled face.”

“Lasya and her partner were awesome with my Bean. Sent tons of photos and updates and were able to keep his feeding need s well taken care of. He had a blast with their dog Simba who was the perfect playmate . I’ll definitely be looking to call them again in the future”


“Whitney and Samuel took excellent care of Kodi! He was so happy with them. They sent pictures and gave updates. I will definitely book with them again!”


“Jax had a great time with Natalia. He loved playing with her dog and my daughter loved that she sent pictures during his stay. Would definitely recommend. I was nervous as this was our first time leaving him with someone but would not hesitate to do it again with Natalia. Thanks for taking such great care of Jax”



“Zhe is the best! He takes such good care of my babies. He asked detailed instructions: what time to feed them, any allergies, any special information that he needs to know, etc. He provided lots of pictures. He’s back yard is big and clean, Xixi and Mars had a great time with him!”


“Pattie was amazing with my dog Poe. He came back so happy and calm! She provided updates daily and so many pictures :) I would trust her with Poe anytime.”


“Liz was absolutely amazing to my baby! She was very communicative, created a safe and warm environment for him, was kind and patient when he was a little anxious, and made sure to give him plenty of love and cuddles. Will defintely be re-booking :)”



“Amazing photos and communication throughout the stay. Isa had a great time and she can't wait until we leave town again so she can come back to stay with Jeannette. Thanks!”


“Donna is a wonderful caregiver. She truly enjoyed spending time with our Aussie. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Donna watch our dog again in the future.”


“My doggy was so happy and comfortable with Tara— I don’t think he will want to leave! Tara provided me with constant pictures and updates throughout his stay. She even brought him to her social run club and out for coffee after! I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a Dogsitter and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”


“He’s such a great pub sitter . Accommodating me for an extra day but of course I made sure he was taken care of . I have a high energy dog but not a problem for him . Communicate great sent pictures and all .”


“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”


“Provided great care to our Boston terrier who has separation anxiety. Replied very quick and was flexible with pick up/drop off times which was so helpful! Would book again for sure! :)”
