“This vacation would not have been possible without Ryan and Sabrina! They loved Slate as one of their own and he has fallen in love with them. The daily updates were priceless for me!”


“Elizabeth took excellent care of our labradoodles over a long weekend - one who is 9 years old, and one who is still a pup at 6 months old. We received a daily picture and text updating us on their stay. She was able to administer medication to our older dog when a thunderstorm rolled in to make her more comfortable. Both pups came home well taken care of and sleepy from so much play time with Chief and Todd. We would happily use Elizabeth's services again. Thank you again Elizabeth for taking such good care of our doggos!”


“Sara cared for my baby Pluto on such short notice and she was so accommodating! She made sure to keep me updated with photos and gave me such wonderful stories about him at pickup! Pluto was so happy with her that he didn't want to leave!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Liz & Jeff. They treated my pup like one of their own his entire stay. They sent me so many pictures and video updates which was so reassuring since I had to go out of town super last minute. I was 30 minutes late picking my pup up due to traffic and they were so accommodating and understanding. 10/10 recommend them! I will definitely be using them again :) thanks again Liz & Jeff!”


“James is an awesome sitter! We felt super comfortable leaving our 100lb Corso with James and he sent us pictures every day (which is great for a worry wart like me). Definitely boarding our dog with James again!”


“Amazing!! First timer here and was very nervous about leaving our baby, but Megan made sure to send us videos and photos and keep us updated. She was very nice and she took great care of our fur baby!”


“I really liked the experience with Elizabeth. She was very professional, nice and courteous, and really great with my pet. She shared pictures, and kept me up to date with my pets boarding status on a daily basis, while I was away. I feel that she is a excellent sitter, and will definitely refer her to others searching for superb pet care.”


“Toby is a wonderful pet sitter that is reliable, trustworthy, and communicates very well.My pup is big, strong, and full of energy so I was a bit nervous she would pester his dog Millie, and the rest of his family, but their family and home are so welcoming and dog friendly. Toby is a knowledgeable dog lover that treats my dog as his own. She excitedly jumps out of the car upon arrival and dreads leaving when I pick her up. I love that she’s well cared for and loved while I’m gone and comes back to me happy and tired from all of the walks, playtime and swimming that she can never get enough of. So grateful for Toby and his sweet family!”


“Amanda does an amazing job caring for my Charlie. She provides picture and videos as well as updates frequently. Whenever my dog stays with her I know he is in good hands!!”


“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our 2 pups with someone else. We were nervous but Kelly and George did a good job easing our minds! They sent pictures of our boys and gave updates on how they seemed to be feeling. We definitely will be using them again”


“Robin was amazing!! She took such good care of my baby while I was away for Christmas and made sure my baby felt the holiday spirit. Highly recommend booking with her!”

“Demond is a great pet sitter. He communicated well, and sent lots of great pictures and videos of my furbaby while we were away!!! We will definitely be rebooking with him the next time we go out of town!”


“Simone and family were so great with Luke. I felt very comfortable being away knowing that he was in such caring hands. The scheduled updates with pictures really set my mind at ease that Luke was well and having a great time!”


“Booked Becca again, and glad I did. She took very good care of my dog Shady and it seems like Shady made herself at home with Becca. I can definitely say that she would a permanent dog sitter for Shady.”
