“I have never felt so comfortable with leaving my dog with anyone! We went on a five day getaway and Jessica&Carol took care of my dog, Teddy, like he was one of their own! 1000% would use them again. ?”


“We have booked with them twice now and it’s been amazing both times! One of my dogs never likes anyone but my husband and I, but was sleeping on top of Ashleigh and Bill and cuddling with them during their stay so I know they’re very well taken care of.”


“Amber was phenomenal!! She took amazing care of my pup. Taking her on long walks and giving me constant updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”



“Gregory was a great sitter and helped our dog Doodle feel right at home. He also sent videos and pictures that helped us see how great of a time Doodle was having. We would definitely use Gregory again!”


“I am very glad that I found Natalie, she was excellent. Natalie was very kind, understanding, and professional. Natalie was very caring, it was clear that all the fur babies loved and respectful her. She was also very detailed and organized in her care functions. My pup is very shy and timid, and he did just fine in her gentle care. I was very comfortable & happy leaving my pup with her, and I will definitely be contacting her again for dog sitting in the future.”


“Emily was such a help ! I had to leave last minute to another state and couldn’t take my pups and she took good care of them. My fluffs dealt with anxiety for not being with us. She was so sweet and i can notice the dogs felt better and had fun to stay with her. She has also such cutie fluffs so my dogs had company. Thank you! ❤️”


“Hobbit had a great time with Amanda! I could tell because when I picked him up, he clearly went to give her a thank you hug and a goodbye. He is happy and healthy and Amanda was great at providing updates and pictures of Hobbit. I will definitely book with her again!”


“Looks like Leo really enjoyed his time there with Heavyn, and her pups. She was sweet to him and he clearly fell in love with here, also she is a very kind person to speak with. I will definitely keep coming back for boarding.”


“Sara and her family were AMAZING!!! We have a 4 month old puppy and we were nervous about leaving him and, we had to leave him overnight. Sara took him into her home and not only loved him like it was her own but took him on so many walks, play activities and puppy training. She went far beyond my expectations, nearly to the point where I felt bad taking my puppy home as he was having so much fun! I am so grateful we found Sara!”


“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”


“Abigail was amazing and took great care of our dog! She sent plenty of updates and made sure he was comfy the whole time. He came back happy and healthy!”


“Casey & her brother took extra care of our dog Louis. You can feel how much their dogs are central to their hearts in their home. Casey made herself available for a ‘meet and greet’ before we left our boy with her for the weekend and knew exactly how to handle the situation. She and her brother are conscientious about all dog issues and we will definitely use their services again. Thank you for a smooth process.”


“Arlissa is INCREDIBLE. She takes such good care of our dog while we are away. We feel beyond grateful to have found her. Our dog has always had some separation anxiety but with Arlissa we never have to worry. The dogs get so much play time and attention. Her communication is excellent and the videos and photos she sends are so cute. Honestly best dog sitter ever.”


“Thomas was a lifesaver! We had a rover cancel on us the day of a holiday and he took in our buddies last minute and cared for them!”


“Paislee provided wonderful care for our pup! He had multiple medications to take during the time he was with her, and she handled it wonderfully. Her communication was wonderful, as well! He had some issues with his medication/eating, and Paislee had great communication with me to get everything resolved while we were on our trip. We will definitely use her again, and I highly recommend her!”


“Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!”


“Katherine did wonderful with Benny! She kept me updated with pictures and videos of him and got back to me quickly with any questions I had. I’ll definitely be using her in the future!”


“Yolena was great. No complaints.”


“We had never left our pups with anyone overnight so we were a bit nervous. Our dogs are not crate trained (they sleep with us!) and we were worried they would be upset. Luckily we found Amber who was laidback and flexible”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would—Jillian is a dream dog sitter! From the very first meet and greet, I knew Cedric was in incredible hands. She was thoughtful, asked great questions, and took notes on everything—from his likes and dislikes to his daily routine. Throughout his stay, Jillian treated Cedric like he was part of her own pack. Her dogs, Charming and Quill, were absolute sweethearts, and Cedric had the best time playing with them. They got along beautifully, and it was clear they were all having the time of their lives. Jillian sent me tons of pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind and made me smile every time I got a notification. Her home is spotless and super dog-friendly—plenty of space, a splash pad, doggy door, and tons of toys! I could tell he was safe, stimulated, and genuinely happy. I can’t thank Jillian enough for going above and beyond. She’s kind, responsible, and truly passionate about animals. Cedric came home tired, content, and honestly a little sad to leave. That says it all. 12/10—would book again in a heartbeat.”
