“Awesome dog sitter! My Toby was very well cared for and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Lots of wonderful pictures and updates. Would definitely use again!”


“Michelle was great, responded quickly and provided photos anytime I checked-in. She was understanding and flexible when we had a flight delay. I'd recommend her if you're looking for someone to love on your baby in your absence.”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yessenia was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely love animals and would treat my pup like her own. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I’m so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”


“Debbie is the best. This was our second time having Winters stay with her and I don’t worry a bit! She sends photos and updates and reassurance that my furry baby is all good!”


“Luna had a great time with Teresa and her family! Plenty of walks and playtime! She came home TIRED in a good way 😂 her energy was well burnt. Teresa also sent plenty of updates and photos and even sent us home with a doggie bag for Lu. 10/10 would recommend! We will definitely be booking again with her! 🤍”


“Great pack experience in an unleashed farm setting! Tom sent us daily photos and videos which is very reassuring during our two week trip. When we returned, Max was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommended! Thanks again Tom! Until the next time!”



“My two big puppies (cattledog/terrier mix and golden retriever) can be a handful but Leanne and her family managed them with ease. I am grateful to know that we have a new sitter (since ours moved away) that we trust and that the dogs love! I got daily photos and video and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we pulled up to greet them at the end of our trip. We will be using Leanne again a few times this summer and in the years to come for sure!”


“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”



“Mónica and her family were awesome. I left my 4 month old puppy with them overnight and they took wonderful care of her. They have a beautiful home with a very safe fenced in back yard. The 2 dogs they have are very friendly and good with other animals. I could tell from the first meeting that Mónica understands and loves dogs. I was very nervous about leaving my little girl with anyone but I would definitely use Mónica again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a safe happy environment for your dog if you have to go away. Regular kennels can be so stressful on a dog having your dog join someones family like this for a few days is the only way to go in my opinion.”


“Leah, her daughter and husband were amazing with Kota! We are so grateful that they could watch him while we were away and will definitely be bringing Kota back. We received many pictures and video updates, and Kota was excited, happy or relaxed in every single one. They cared for Kota so well and were flexible and kind. They were great with our pup and were a sweet family! Can’t thank them enough!”

“Haneui and her family were absolutely wonderful and welcoming hosts. Their spacious backyard was perfect for playtime, and their adorable Dachshund was incredibly friendly. From drop-off to pick-up, I received regular photo and video updates showing my pup having a blast. Truly a fantastic experience all around. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Senna!”


“Vickie and Heath are THE BEST! Zeus and Dolly had such a wonderful stay with them. They had so much fun and were treated so well. They had movie night with popcorn and loved running around the spacious yard! Vickie and Heath are so caring and sweet and they really love dogs. I will always have my dogs stay with them when we go away and highly recommend them!!!”


“Patricia and her kids were wonderful! My pup had the best time in their presence, and we got daily updates on his day, which was super awesome since this was his first time away from family. I would highly recommend Patricia’s services—she is kind, communicative, and flexible with pick-up/drop-off times. Thank you, Patricia!!”


“Mr. Colin was spectacular with my two babies, I made a reservation for boarding for 10 days and he was super good, he sent me photos and videos of my babies all the time, he contacted me if something happened and my babies looked so happy. I really recommend it 100%!”


“Shannon was a great communicator and she was so kind to let me bring my pup later than expected. She sent me pictures during her stay that left me at ease. Her family is so sweet and love their space.”


“Vanessa was everything I’ve asked for and more!! Very communicative, and sent me pictures along the way. I would 100% recommend her, she was the absolute BEST. I will definitely be using her again in the future!!”


“Christine is the best! My Theo and her Theo got along great during the visit and he was well taken care off! She sent plenty of photos and updates and brought Theo outside to enjoy the weather. If you need a sitter, choose Christine!”


“First time using Rover and Jessica was great. Jessica would send pictures and video updates which was nice to see my dog having fun while on vacation would definitely use Jessica again.”
