“Jesus was AMAZING! He looked after both my dog and cat while I was out of town and I couldn’t be happier about the care they received. He sent daily updates with photos and even washed my pup when he got muddy/dirty from being outside. His communication was always quick and friendly. I will definitely leave my fur babies with Jesus in the future and suggest you do the same!”

“We were very happy with Ridley's stay at Candace's house. He had a medical issue pop up right before our trip and she took such good care of him. We received updates and photos almost daily, which ease our mind. We will definitely use Candace again to watch our dog.”

I was also late picking him up due to unforeseen circumstances and she accommodated!!! Her communication was great and I highly recommend!!! She is my first pick.”

“Kaneishia is an amazing sitter. Our dog, Phoebe, boarded at her house for about a week. Phoebe is a super shy and protective dog so she was not having it at the beginning. By the end she seemed to really enjoy her time at Kaneishia’s. Phoebe is the type to bark and growl at strangers but after a few days I saw pictures of her opening up and even getting belly rubs from kaneishia. My dog had an overall pleasant experience! Kaneishia is easy to communicate with, sending pictures and messages for updates all the time. She is a very kind, nice, and layed back person ? she’s able to get her dog, my dog, and another to be ok with each other. She’s good at what she does, definitely recommend! Thanks Kaneishia! ?”

“Toya was a wonderful sitter. We had to shift our boarding days last minute from Fri-Mon to Thurs-Sun last minute and she was able to accommodate without a problem. She was also very responsive and would reply back to any questions or check-ins within minutes. We especially loved her family environment which I feel was very comforting to our Brick. He seemed very comfortable when he first arrived and upon pick-up from his 3 night stay. We will definitely use Toya’s services again!”

“Ashley is the greatest!! I was a little worried about leaving my kitten Hadley for two weeks, but he immediately settled into her home and it was clear from the pictures and videos she sent of him always at her side and playing with her cat Pepsi that he adored both of them. Ashley sent me pictures and kept me updated every day, was so accommodating of my schedule and Hadley's routine, and gave him lots of attention. She was super easy to coordinate and communicate with, Hadley settled back in with me as though I’d never left, and I’ve already booked his next stay with her :)”

“It was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about everything, but Chloe put us such at ease. She sent lots of pictures, and treated our Kira as if she was her own. 10/10 would recommend for sitter services. I just wish we were staying in Madison a little longer so that we could use Chloe again! Thank you so much, Chloe!”

“Ann was phenomenal! She treated my dog as if he was one of her own. She was very thorough with everything to make sure my dog was as comfortable away from me as possible. We had our meet and greet at her house then were able to go through with the sitting! Her three dogs were lovely as well and played great with mine. Throughout the entire stay Ann kept me updated with many pictures & videos. My dog was in great hands and made me feel okay leaving him for the night. I would highly recommend using Ann. I look forward to rebooking with her.”

“Katie and Nick are seriously awesome. They took care of Cooper like he was part of their own family. They sent me daily photos and videos updates. Copper had the time of his life with them. He was all smiles and tail wags in every picture and video. They were super accommodating to his routine and he didn’t even realize he was away from home. What I really appreciate is their communication. Any questions I had, they were quick to answer. They even let me know about the little things Cooper was up to. When I picked Cooper up it was obvious he had an amazing time. I will most definitely be using Katie and Nick for all my sitting needs in the future!”
