First time my 8 year old dog spent a night away from family, so I was apprehensive. Amanda and Adam bonded with him at the meet and greet, and his trial night went well. I'll be booking more nights with them.

Teresa was the best rover host we’ve had. My Australian cattle dog did not want to leave! Teresa was so kind and clearly enjoyed caring for Allie. I received frequent text and photo updates throughout the weekend of Allie having a great time. Teresa was easy to communicate with and we will definitely reach out again in the future!

This is the first time I used Rover and left Hercules to be taken care by someone who was not part of the family. He is a senior and very into his ways so I was apprehensive about how he would take it. From the photos Cyndi provides daily I could tell in the first day he was relaxed and really into Cyndi. She took a great care of him and it was great to have daily updates and a place where he does need to share with other dogs. I would highly recommend Cyndi and I will definitely book more stays with her.

Agelica took care of Queso and she was awesome, super responsive, she kept me informed of his behavior in a detailed way. She has access to a very nice backyard which is fenced and safe for dogs. I am very happy with my experience with her.

Allison is the best! This is the second time we’ve used her and she’s nothing short of wonderful. She lives on our baby like they’re her own and she updated us so consistently that we felt like he was with us. I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !

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!

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!

Micaela was amazing! She asked how often I wanted to receive updates, and she would send a detailed update at the end of the day with photos and videos of how their day went. She made sure Peppa was having fun that weekend and got in lots of walks. She was exhausted when I picked her up, and she slept hard. Micaela was flexible with pickup and drop-off time, and I really appreciated the prompt communication.
