“Very easy process of meeting and booking with Sara. I could tell my dog, Baxter, loved the stay because he was pooped as soon as I brought him home. I don't need an overnight sitter very often, but will return again if so.”


“Our dog Mochi can be pretty nervous and slow to warm up, but she was comfortable at Lisa’s home right away, which was really comforting to see. She also got one of her longest walks in recent memory - thanks Lisa!”


“Rachael is a great sitter for our two dogs. She updated us on how they were doing daily. She also responds promptly about any questions I have. She loved on our two babies well while we were away.”



“Bella had a great time staying with Jennifer. She had many dogs to socialize and play with. Bella made herself at home and Jennifer sent me pictures throughout her stay. I know Bella would love to stay with Jennifer again.”

“Kelsey is amazing, my demi was having a lot of separation anxiety and she helped handle it so I could enjoy my vacation!!! Definitely recommend her over and over again and hope to use her again if we need to!!!! 10 STARS ?”



“Kris was more than we could have hoped for! From the minute we arrived we knew our boys' stay would worry free. She immediately made sure they felt at home and even asked if they could sleep in the bed and that really made us feel like she cared! She has a great yard and several very friendly dogs to play with. We will definitely take our boys to her every time we're in the Bellingham area! 5 stars!”


“Sarah was great! She was so flexible with last-minute military scheduling, very welcoming, and kept me in the loop throughout the time away with sweet pictures and updates. She managed Soleil’s specific needs with ease - I’d rebook in a heartbeat!”


“Debra is the best. Max is happy to go to her house and a happy pup when I pick him up. Max feels so much at home with Debra and River that he has started behaving like he is at home and chewing on things he should not. Debra was very gracious about Max's naughty behavior.”


“We are so happy to have found you Carol to take care of our baby. Roger had a great time with you and Keanu. Thank you for taking great care of Roger. And loved the pictures you sent out daily. Truly appreciated it. Will call on you soon to watch Roger again. Thank you so much.”


“I definitely am delighted and impressed by the care my Sophie Cuddles received during her first stay with Antoinette! Our regular dog nanny had a health crisis that unexpectadly necessitated a hospital stay right before we left for a long planned for trip across the country. In our area, it is difficult to find great in-a-home care for dogs. Luckily for me and my senior dog Sophie, I found rover.com AND Antoinette. We had a meet and greet with Antoinette and Max, her senior dog, at their home. That sealed the deal for us. Sophie loved the home, the fenced yard, Max and Antoinette. During our trip, Antoinette sent photos and updates to keep us informed. Sophie was great when we picked her up after our journey. Quite frankly, I couldn’t have been more pleased or more impressed with Antoinette and the care she provided. Absolutely a 5 Star experience! I highly recommend Antoinette. I know I will be making plans to have Sophie stay with her again.”


“Avery is a great pet sitter. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. She was available on short notice. She was great with my dog and kept her entertained and happy while I was away for the weekend.”


“Cher was amazing with my dog. Very professional, had experience with her medication, took her on plenty of walks and gave her plenty of love. I know my dog felt right at home, as soon as we entered Cher’s place I was chopped liver! I would definitely book with Cher again.”


“Angela and her family are the best! I am so grateful to have found her and I always feel good and safe when I leave my precious pup in her care. She’s worth every cent!”


“Michelle was overly flexible and provided an amazing overnight for my pup. Provided lots of updates so i could see how my anxious dog would handle the new environment. Provides lots of active time and made a trip to the lake that was very much welcome. Would recommend Michelle again in a heartbeat!”


“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”
