My dog loves going over Matt’s house. His ears perk up and he leaps out of my car with such excitement and that’s important to me. I travel for work and leaving my dog with someone kind is so important to me. You are here looking for a sitter - I say, look no further. He will love your dog and treat your pet as his own.

Julie really put me at ease and payed attention to details. I appreciated the way she introduced Nacho to her house and her cats, it showed she cared. I also really liked that she kept in contact via pics and messages. Nacho will definitely be staying with Julie again!

Eric is the best! I recently had a sitter cancel 6 hours before drop-off -- I thought my vacation was ruined! I immediately put out a Sunday morning last-minute Rover requests for a sitter, with very low expectations that anyone would even respond, much less accept. Within a few minutes, Eric responded and then accepted. He totally saved my vacation! After that, he was extremely communicative, but even better, he was perfect for my highly energetic doggo. He gave long dauly walks and play sessions. I knew that my dog would love having his Bucky as a 24/7 playmate, but I was very concerned that he has cats, since Sheba had never seen a cat before. Since she has a high prey drive, I thought there could be serious problems. Eric, however, seems to have a natural understanding of pets, and he was able to safely introduce Sheba to his cats, and apparently there were no issues. Also, Eric was highly flexible when my return flight was delayed by a day, and quickly agreed to extend the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.

Our pups looked like they enjoyed their stay with Dylan. I appreciated the daily updates with photos and his quick responses. We were nervous because the rescue we got 3 months ago has separation anxiety, but it sounds like he did well and both our dogs were calm and content when we picked them up. They already have their next stay booked!

I’m so grateful for the care and affection that was shown to our fur baby. Definitely will reach out if we ever need help again. Thank you so very much.

Le’Quitta was absolutely wonderful with Honey! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and communicative. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she even brought one of her dogs to make sure Honey would be comfortable since she can be a little reactive around other dogs. Just before our trip, Honey unexpectedly needed stitches and had to wear a cone while taking medication every 12 hours. Le’Quitta didn’t hesitate—she happily took on the extra care, administered Honey’s medications, and gave us complete peace of mind so we could still enjoy our weekend away. Throughout Honey’s stay, Le’Quitta sent frequent updates and photos, and it was obvious Honey was having the best time playing with the other dogs. She even had her first positive introduction to a cat! Every picture showed a happy, smiling dog who was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for Le’Quitta flexibility, communication, and genuine care for Honey. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.

Cindy was amazing at caring for my two dogs, Loki and Tashi. Dogs have a sixth sense of humans and as soon as they entered her home they were excited and happy. Cindy sent us photos of our dogs which was an adorable touch. For once, my husband and I were relaxed and were able to enjoy our outing without worrying about our dogs. We were disappointed that our dogs were not that excited to see us when we picked them up. That meant they had a great time at Cindy's. So much so that they crashed shortly after we got home. They were exhausted from their exciting day with Cindy and her adorable daughter. We are so delighted to have found Cindy.

Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!

Ayme is great! Usually we take our dog with us on vacations, but the last 2 years she has stayed with Ayme for a week when we go to the beach (it's not dog friendly). Ayme always sends lots of pics and updates and it makes us feel so much better knowing she's not in a kennel and being well taken care of.

My dog has been a couple years now. We had this pet family. For us we do long stays & short I’ve been in Florida,Chicago, out the country Bahamas. I rather use this family for long stays. Because my dog knows this family. If you have flights just always communicate with your pet sitter. Me& my husband both like this family.

We could not have asked for a better sitter for Archie! Korri and her family truly welcomed him into their home and treated him like one of their own. It was so obvious from the photos and updates that he was completely happy and comfortable there. He made himself right at home, snuggled in bed, had plenty of companionship, and even developed his own little fan club when Korri’s sister started coming over just to see him! 😂❤️ Korri was wonderful about keeping us updated throughout our trip, and those little glimpses of Archie happily living his best life made it so much easier to be away from him. She also went above and beyond for us when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We needed to extend Archie’s stay by a couple of days, and Korri could not have been more gracious or accommodating. Then, after a delayed flight home and another unexpected hiccup on pickup day, she was once again incredibly kind and flexible and assured us that Archie was welcome for as long as we needed. More than anything, we never had to worry about whether Archie was safe, happy, or loved. Knowing he was being cared for in a real home, surrounded by people and dogs who genuinely enjoyed having him there, was priceless. We are so grateful to Korri and her whole family for taking such wonderful care of our boy. We would absolutely book with her again and recommend her without hesitation. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! 🐾❤️

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, I felt completely confident that my dog was in loving and capable hands. Tiffany provided excellent care, attention, and affection, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, responsible, communicative, and attentive to every detail. I especially appreciated the updates and knowing that my dog was being treated like family while I was away. Her genuine love for animals really showed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their beloved pet. I will definitely use her again! 🐾❤️ Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby!

Ashley was able to accommodate my flight schedule, which included two extra overnights so I could drop off and pick up Ludlow without rushing to/from the airport. Luds is older now and has vision issues, but Ashley made sure he was comfortable, and he adapted well to her place. I appreciated that it was a calm space for him, and she was home most of the time. Ashley responded to messages quickly, and sent me some cute pictures.
