Mariia and her family were excellent! They took such a great care about my little furry friend. Mariia sent me messages and pictures almost every day. I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely book again! ☺️

Such a great sitter for my dog! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! She took lots of pictures of my dog and he seemed very happy and well cared for. She took him of many walks and kept me updated on him.

We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!

We have only used Rover a couple of times and this is our first experience with Mary. She is flexible and easy to work with. Our dog, Ellie, had a great time and received super care. She had lots of outside time/play and received all her meals and meds as requested. Mary frequently sent us pictures of Ellie during play and when resting. We could tell that Ellie was happy and content there. We will definitely be reaching out to Mary again to board Ellie.

Chelse was wonderful with our babies! We had never used rover or any other type of service similar, instead we used kennel boarding. We found Chelse to be so good that we will not use kennel boarding again. She was so in tune with out yorkies and met there needs as if they were her own. This was an amazing experience for our dogs, they came home tired from all the play, walks and attention they received. Thank you Chelse!!!

Our dog Louie had a great time staying with Andrea recently for 4 days. She sent us updates each day with pictures and/or videos. She took great care of him and gave lots of attention. Her dog Molly also really seems to enjoy spending time with visiting dogs and is a great playmate. We Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a home away from home for your fur baby, book with Kelly and Jim! They were patient with my anxious girl, and made her feel comfortable. She has NEVER been comfortable so quickly at larger facilities. They treated her as if she was there’s. In fact, I was afraid she may not want to leave! 😉 The communication exceeded my expectations. I received updates about her play with the other dog in their care, eating habits, and pictures of her living her best life. We will be visiting with Kelly and Jim again soon!

We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and clearly very knowledgeable about French Bulldogs and their unique needs. She kept us updated, made sure our Frenchie was comfortable and well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and understands the breed. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog sitter!

She was super communicative the whole time, sending us photo updates that made us feel at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs she watches, she was so sweet and patient with him. We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely trust her with Oliver again!
