“My first time to board my Pom not have been more pleasant! They are very warm and welcoming and my baby felt right at home. They will definitely be my go to puppy sitters in the future. Peace of mind is priceless”

“Alan and Lynn are phenomenal! Lynn messages us and sends pictures multiple times a day. It’s so much easier leaving our cavalier when we know he’s well taken care of.”

“Our boy Shadow has stayed with Wendy twice and she’s great! I love getting pictures of him throughout the day and love that he gets to socialize with her animals. Great communication throughout each stay. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing family! Great energy they sent me photos and my boy was snuggled in a blanket and they gave him great treats will use tell everyone! I am grateful and my dog is too 🙌🙌🙌🙌 merry Christmas to y’all’s family 🎄🎄🎄❤️🔥”

“Karynne is a great sitter! My dog likes a car ride and Karynne took him to places on her car. She sent me updates and photos everyday. I appreciate that she took care of my dog very well!”

“Katherine was just amazing for my little boys, they were a bit of a challenge but she was patient and kept them happy. I definitely recommend Katherine to watch fur babies.”

“Melissa was awesome! Bella is my rescue dog that I have only had for a couple months. I needed someone to watch her at the last minute and Melissa jumped right in to help me. Bella is still very apprehensive because of her previous life. When we dropped her off, she was very anxious which made us worry about leaving her. Melissa knew exactly how best to care for her. She immediately put my mind at ease by letting me know how she was doing and taking pictures and videos. She also took Bella on 2 walks a day - which she loves. Because of Melissa I was able to enjoy my weekend out of town and not worry about how Bella was doing. I will definitely use Melissa again in the future.”

“Agnes was amazing! Her home and backyard are so cute and Jack had the best time with her family and little dog! She was so attentive and sent me lots of photos! We will be booking with her again soon!”

“Pamela was wonderful she kept us up to date through the day. She also send us pictures keeping us comfortable. It was a pleasure having her pet sit for us. My boys had an amazing time.”

“Communication from the beginning was top tier and Emma was great with my baby. He seemed so at ease when I picked him up and his body language told me everything I needed to know. Emma is super easy to talk to, extremely sweet and friendly. Thank you for taking in my little guy, we’ll definitely be booking again when needed.”

“Kristen is wonderful! Absolutely the best care of our fur baby. Updates often and most enjoyable person to work with... (hesitant to recommend as we want to keep her to ourselves ?)...MOST highly recommended! ❤️ ?❤️”
“The daily updates were great, it was obvious that our girl was in a happy and comfortable place. I think Cutie actually returned to us better than we dropped her off!! She picked up some good habits from her time with Allison’s dog, Loki. Thank you!!”

“Dawn was great with our pups! We did a meet and greet before we left for our trip and felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her. Our pups can be a handful sometimes, but Dawn was so good with them. We really appreciated the daily pics and updates while we were away on a trip. Would definitely recommend!”

“Teddy stayed with Kristen and her family for 10 days and I think it’s safe to say he had a great time. He was happy to see his own family when picked up but was sad to leave her home and actually cried in the car ride home. We received daily pictures of all his adventures and were happy to know he was in great hands while we were away. We will definitely rebook with Kristen on our next getaway.”


“Best Rover sitter to date! Candy was so affectionate and playful with my two French Bulldogs. It was clear in every update and photo that she loved my pups as if they were her own. She provided great communications and a smooth drop off and pick up. Above all, her professional yet easy-going and incredibly welcoming personality made me feel immediately comfortable leaving my pups in her care. Thank you Candy! Sarge and Scout hope to see you again next time!”

“Tia and her family were very good to our Darcy , we are rebooking with her soon . She sent pictures . And I felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her . Would highly recommend .”


“Sue is a real dog lover! We appreciated the photos she sent while she was watching them. My dogs seem to enjoy their stay very much. We definitely plan to use Sue again in the future.”

“John met me for a quick meet and greet. He took care my Chase and from what I can tell Chase really enjoyed him and his pup. I will continue to use him for all my boarding needs.”

“Her family provided amazing care of Atlas. She kept in communication throughout his entire stay. My baby is terrified of storms, she kept him calm and relaxed while away from home. 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you so much for the care you showed Atlas.”

We had such a great experience! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures, gave her walks, even gave her a bath, and clearly treated her like part of the family. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with pickup, which made everything so much less stressful for us. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again!

Mechea was a great sitter for my dog Liko! She communicated regularly and promptly from the booking throughout his entire stay. She made us both feel comfortable and has such a pleasant demeanor. I would absolutely rebook if she’s willing to host Liko again in the future. 🤗
