Angelica and her husband were great host to Gigi. She kept me updated daily and I could tell that Gigi truly enjoyed her time there. My dog is big, super energetic, and can have bad anxiety. Angelica dedicated time to make sure that Gigi was receiving a lot of attention and had lots of time outside to release energy. I was at ease during my trip knowing Gigi was in good hands!!

This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!

Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!

Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️

Damacia is was amazing! I found him on Rover after reading through several reviews, and I’m so glad I chose him. He was very responsive and stayed in touch throughout my entire time away, including sending pictures and videos. My dog, Jaxson, has never been around other dogs before, so I know this was a new experience for him but based on the updates I received, he did great. Damacia made me feel completely at ease, and I now have a dog sitter I truly trust to care for Jaxson while I’m away. Highly recommend 🐾✨

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

Rachel was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She was incredibly flexible, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made us feel at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. She also has two dogs of her own, and they got along great with ours, which made the experience even better. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

They were obviously happy and well cared for when we picked them up. We’ll definitely be going to him to watch our pups whenever he’s available.

Elizabeth was amazing! She sent daily photos, videos, and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was extremely communicative and clearly cared about Nacho like he was her own. Nacho especially loved spending time with Peanut—they wrestled and played nonstop day and night! Knowing he was safe, happy, and having so much fun made all the difference for us. We would absolutely book with Elizabeth again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!

Ross and Ava are fabulous sitters! This was my dog’s first time staying with them and their sweet dog, George, and I was wondering if Reggie would want to come home with me after being taken care of so well! 😊 Ross & Ava were great with providing updates and also being mindful of the heat for walks. Finding a sitter can be such a stressful process but Ross & Ava were great with coordinating a meet and greet beforehand and putting my mind at ease. Your pet will be in great hands!

I’ll leave as many glowing reviews for Lauren and Colin as I can! They just watched our dog, Haley, for 10 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lauren is extremely communicative, shares several photos throughout the day, and asks questions if needed. I’m a worrywart but when Haley is with Lauren I’m totally relaxed. I’m lowkey worried Haley won’t want to leave all of her buddies and come home. Can’t recommend Lauren enough!

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!

You want your dogs at Franceska’s! Wow, great house and backyard. Their dogs are great and our dogs became great friends. Franceska kept us up to date with pictures and let us know how they were doing daily. They had a great time. We have a senior dog and a puppy; they handled both with ease. Really great people to work with. Will have them take care of our dogs again!
