“Matt- thank you for taking great care of Freddie. We appreciate all of your patience with his shy personality. We are grateful for your help.”


2. Richard T.

“Richard did a great job with Al. He kept me updated on Al’s daily activities with pictures and video. Al was able to play nicely with his dogs in the fenced in yard. Communication was easy and prompt. I’m happy with my experience with Richard and recommend him!”




3. Victoria K.

“Clarence very much enjoyed his stay with Victoria. He got lots of attention and enjoyed having other dogs to play with. Victoria was great about sending photo updates multiple times a day. Will definitely book with her again”


4. Michael H.

“Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)”


5. Mary P.

“We had an amazing experience with Mary over the weekend when she cared for our dog Siggi. From the moment we met her, we could tell she was professional and genuinely passionate about dogs. She took the time to get to know both us and Siggi, ensuring they understood his needs and personality before we left. It was clear they properly vet both dogs and their owners, which gave us peace of mind. Their property is absolutely beautiful with plenty of room for the pups to roam and perfect for walks. Siggi loved every moment of his time there, especially the long walks which helped keep him calm and stimulated. We also received regular text updates with photos which made us feel connected and reassured that he was in great hands. Not only did Mary provide top-notch care, but she and m her partner are also just lovely people. Siggi made a new friends and we could tell that he was happy and well-cared for throughout the stay. We highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter for their dog!”


6. Breanna S.


“Breanna was amazing! Always kept in contact and we felt our sweet boy was loved and taken care of! Definitely the best experience we had with Rover!”


7. Kaley B.

“Thank you for watching our sweet girl! I can tell she was given so much love and attention just as we would give her at home :’). she came home so tired from all of the fun”


8. Rachel B.

“Rachel was wonderful! She helped set up a meet and greet with another dog she was watching prior to booking and was super attentive and communicative while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. I didn’t worry about our little guy once as I knew he was in very trustworthy and caring hands. Thank you Rachel! Marshall misses you already : )”


9. Adam C.

“Koda had a great time hanging out with Adam for a little over a week! Adam got him out on a lot of walks and sent a lot of pictures/updates. Koda seemed like he really enjoyed his stay and we'll be booking again!”


10. Audrey M.

“Our older cat is afraid of her shadow and keeps her distance from people she doesn’t know. Audrey was patient and gentle with her. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I like that she works from home so your pet is not left alone very often. And her adorable and very friendly kitten is happy to be a playmate or can be kept separate if needed. Give Audrey a try. You won’t be disappointed.”




11. Kathleen K.
“There’s no other pet sitter I trust other than Ms. Kathleen, shes the BEST! I get lots of pictures and videos the entire stay of how my baby is doing, takes them for long walks and spends quality time with them. I’ve never had a pet sitter that genuinely loves my dog as much as me and her ethic shows that ❤️ Thank you Ms Kathleen!”


12. Krista C.

“Krista and her dog, Griffin, were the perfect hosts for my two Malt-Shih 2 y.o. pups. As with any siblings they have very different personalities, one outgoing but the other, very anxious. Krista, with her calm demeanor, won him over in no time, assisted by Griffin (a large dog whose size would normally trigger fear) mirrored his owner's gentle personality. I will definitely request Krista and Griffin in the future.”


13. Amy C.

“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”


14. Abby & Jason P.

“Abby and Jason took such great care of our fur baby while we were away on vacation. Ron had the absolute best time playing with Wall-E, and the two became very quick best friends! This was our first time leaving our dog for a few nights, and Abby and Jason made us feel very at ease with lots of updates and pictures throughout our trip. Would highly recommend them!!!”


15. Tessa B.

“Tessa was great! My dog isn't usually the cuddly type, but he cuddled right up to her. She was always communicative, sent regular pictures and updates, and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet to be sure she knew what my dog needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”


16. Emily & Patrick M.

“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”


17. Brad K.

“10/10! Would highly recommend. Great communication and top tier pictures of our fur babies. You could tell our dogs had a great time with Brad!”


18. Riley N.

“Our dogs are usually anxious around new people and dogs, but Riley had my dogs comfortable and happy within five minutes of dropping them off. We received frequent updates and pictures, always showing the dogs being happy and playful. Would 100% recommend Riley to take care of your dogs.”


19. Christine B.

“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”


20. Christy M.


“Christy took very good care of my Daisy! She sent picture updates every day, was very responsive and accommodating. I felt like Daisy was well taken care of and safe. Will not hesitate to leave Daisy with her again in the future. Thanks Christy!”
