“Michelle was absolutely wonderful! Miss Olivia did great and I was updated numerous times a day which helped my kids and I from being away from our precious puppy. We will most definitely use her for any future trips.”
“We felt extremely comfortable leaving our Diva with Karen and Terry (and their sweet menagerie). Karen caught on to Diva's diva-ish quirks right away, and the pictures we got showed Diva being Diva! We would absolutely do this again.”
“Brooke and her family were so great with our dogs! They gave them lots of exercise and sent us pictures every day, which made being away a lot easier! Highly recommend ?”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Scarlet was fantastic! She was a livesaver when an unforeseen work obligation came up last minute and I needed someone to watch my fur baby quick! She kept in touch with me frequently with pictures, and was very patient and flexible when I needed to stay a day longer than planned. It was great having the peace of mind knowing my little baby girl was in great hands while I was out of town. I absolutely recommend her services and wonderful care for your 4 legged fur babies!!”
“Keri was absolutely wonderful!!!! We needed a much needed dog sitter for July 4th weekend. Everyone was either booked or not interested, or no response. After a couple of responses our family agreed on Keri because we believed there was something really special about her. She was also about 40-50 mins away from where we were staying. We didn't care because we felt it was worth it. We were traveling from out of state visiting family. We have an American bully and was so nervous because it was his first time with anyone else overnight. Communication was excellent. She always responded and had a welcoming spirit from day one inquiring. When we arrived we had a hard time leaving Drako because he was not feeling it. He actually snapped at Keri a couple of times and was very protective of the new surroundings. When I say Keri held it down she really did. She welcomed us and there was 7 of us, our 4 children, niece , my husband and myself into her home to help get Drako acquainted. It was too late to try any other option but she was more than willing to stick in there. We spent almost 2 hours getting Drako comfortable and we pulled every trick out the bag. Finally he was comfortable after running around the yard and being outside with one of their dogs. He welcomed her and her children in his space and played with the other dogs. He finally took treats from Keri and went near her without snapping. Once getting him settled we snuck out once he was well relaxed and when we thought he was calm and not going to run behind us out the door. With our surprise we received pics of Drako calm and getting rubs from her husband and family and they fell in love with him. He was in a safe and very clean environment with a loving family and Drako became one with them. I absolutely would recommend Keri to anyone who needs a dog-sitter. She’s the best. I will go out my way to bring Drako to Keri when we travel again. She was the absolute best. There’s not enough words of gratitude to Thank Keri and her family for all they did for our boy. Keri is and will always be our number 1!”
“Our dog was treated like one of the family at Nancy’s home! There was great communication with updates and photos during our time away. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely use her again!”
“Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!”
“Brittany has been great with my pups. I felt super comf with them staying with her and her family. It helps a lot that she has her pup with her, who's super extroverted and helped get my younger dog out of his shell. I strongly recommend her! I'm just bummed that she's moving away from me 😞”
“Cristy took great care of my 9mo old puppy. She was super accommodating and flexible with our last minute requests/changes. She has a fenced in yard that is a puppy's dream and her facebook page updates are excellent. My pup came back happy and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“So glad we found Yelena for our last minute trip. Our two miniature labradoodles had the best time. She sent lots of pics that let us know they were doing great while we were away. She really treated them as her own. We will definitely use her services again! Bonus: Here dog Max was a perfect playdate for them and I know they will want to come back to Yelena’s house to play and stay. Thank you!”
“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave! Alison and Richard were very flexible with our schedule and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be visiting them again soon!”
“This was my first time leaving my big baby, I cried at drop off but thanks to Jamie I didn’t cry long. She sent pics called n I seen my Kapela smiling n plying walking with her dog etc. She is da kindest person to keep ur dog I gave her 10 stars. I couldn’t thank her enough. To kind n treated him like he was her own dog. She rocks big time n my eyes Thanks for making my first experience so easy.”
“Kirby was well taken care of. I got plenty of pictures and videos every day. I could tell he was having a good time and got plenty of fetch time. He came home happy and smelling great. Would definitely use Susan again.”
“Lawrence was great! I was really nervous leaving my boys with anyone but me (from previous bad sitters) but Lawrence did an amazing job! He sent me pictures almost everyday and even helped my big dog be properly introduced to other big dogs. I will definitely be going back and I'm almost positive my big dog wants me to take him back too ;)”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”

Because I have a dog at home, l am unable to host pets that are aggressive, or have history of aggression. I also encourage a quick meet-and-greet before boarding so your pup can get familiar with me, Peanut, and our home before their stay begins.
“Porter had a wonderful stay with Kellie! From the photos she sent throughout his visit, it was clear he was happy, well-cared for, and having a blast. He got plenty of outdoor time, playtime with a ball, and even made some furry friends. Kellie was communicative and consistent with updates, which made leaving him so much easier. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kristina was SUPER nice and sweet! She did amazing with our dog Ranger and sent us as many updates on him through the few days that he stayed with her. She was prompt and understood my need for reassurance as this was a first for me. Ranger had a GREAT time and made some new friends. When we got home he was pooped and ready for bed. We will definitely be coming back to her anytime we are in need of a sitter. Thank you soooo much Kristina for taking care of my baby!”
“Haley came by for 3 drop-in visits to care for our two cats during the holiday weekend. Everything went as planned and she even made sure to find our cat that likes to hide to make sure he was okay. She cleaned the litterbox when needed and tried to play with the cats during the visits! If available, I will likely be booking Haley again for future visits!”
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”
“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”

She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence.

It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”

“Brooke and her family were so great with our dogs! They gave them lots of exercise and sent us pictures every day, which made being away a lot easier! Highly recommend ?”
“Claudia makes my puppy feel right at home. He enjoys playing in her fenced backyard with her dog Tango, and she's very good about sharing photos and updates on his stay. It's like a home away from home for him. I feel fortunate to have found a good dog sitter like Claudia.”
“Megan is just the best! So easy to work with, flexible to my schedule changes, and I love watching Juliette get excited when we are about a block away from pulling up Megan's house. I can't recommend her enough!!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Scarlet was fantastic! She was a livesaver when an unforeseen work obligation came up last minute and I needed someone to watch my fur baby quick! She kept in touch with me frequently with pictures, and was very patient and flexible when I needed to stay a day longer than planned. It was great having the peace of mind knowing my little baby girl was in great hands while I was out of town. I absolutely recommend her services and wonderful care for your 4 legged fur babies!!”
“Keri was absolutely wonderful!!!! We needed a much needed dog sitter for July 4th weekend. Everyone was either booked or not interested, or no response. After a couple of responses our family agreed on Keri because we believed there was something really special about her. She was also about 40-50 mins away from where we were staying. We didn't care because we felt it was worth it. We were traveling from out of state visiting family. We have an American bully and was so nervous because it was his first time with anyone else overnight. Communication was excellent. She always responded and had a welcoming spirit from day one inquiring. When we arrived we had a hard time leaving Drako because he was not feeling it. He actually snapped at Keri a couple of times and was very protective of the new surroundings. When I say Keri held it down she really did. She welcomed us and there was 7 of us, our 4 children, niece , my husband and myself into her home to help get Drako acquainted. It was too late to try any other option but she was more than willing to stick in there. We spent almost 2 hours getting Drako comfortable and we pulled every trick out the bag. Finally he was comfortable after running around the yard and being outside with one of their dogs. He welcomed her and her children in his space and played with the other dogs. He finally took treats from Keri and went near her without snapping. Once getting him settled we snuck out once he was well relaxed and when we thought he was calm and not going to run behind us out the door. With our surprise we received pics of Drako calm and getting rubs from her husband and family and they fell in love with him. He was in a safe and very clean environment with a loving family and Drako became one with them. I absolutely would recommend Keri to anyone who needs a dog-sitter. She’s the best. I will go out my way to bring Drako to Keri when we travel again. She was the absolute best. There’s not enough words of gratitude to Thank Keri and her family for all they did for our boy. Keri is and will always be our number 1!”
“Donald does a great job picking Duke up, watching him at his home and bringing Duke back home. He communicates daily with pictures and texts. Duke is always happy and well following his stays. Donald is our go to dog sitter and we highly recommend him.”
“Charles did an excellent job at taking care of our very senior dog. He sent pics every day and updated us to how he was doing, how he was responding to him and his dog, and that he seemed comfortable with his surroundings. I really do appreciate his caring attitude toward Zeus; that gave us peace of mind while we were vacationing. We will definitely ask him to care for Zeus on our next vacation, and I will pass on to my friends that Charles is a wonderful canine caregiver. I appreciate Charles and Rover!”
“Rachel was a phenomenal sitter. We were initially nervous about leaving our 3 pups for a 4-day visit but Rachel made the process as painless as possible for us. I was especially worried that my doggie would be too anxious to enjoy their stay; however I quickly learned that would not be an issue. Not only is she extremely efficient at taking care of your fur baby, she has a passion for animals I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed before. Please book with her if you get the chance, you will NOT regret it! Thank you again Rachel, we’ll see you soon 💙.”

“My dog Stella loved spending time at Alison and Richard’s house! She got along so well with their 2 dogs, and I don’t think she wanted to leave! Alison and Richard were very flexible with our schedule and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be visiting them again soon!”

“Charlie had a great first stay with Lipika. He was loved on and well taken care of while we were on vacation. We loved our daily videos and updates which put our minds at ease while we were away. He is a high anxiety little guy and Lipika was able to accommodate his special needs.”
“Kirby was well taken care of. I got plenty of pictures and videos every day. I could tell he was having a good time and got plenty of fetch time. He came home happy and smelling great. Would definitely use Susan again.”
“Lawrence was great! I was really nervous leaving my boys with anyone but me (from previous bad sitters) but Lawrence did an amazing job! He sent me pictures almost everyday and even helped my big dog be properly introduced to other big dogs. I will definitely be going back and I'm almost positive my big dog wants me to take him back too ;)”
“This by far has been the best Rover experience my dog Gucci is super anxious around people and SINDHU made him feel so welcome. I’m so blessed to I found her and her family. I will definitely use again. My flight was delayed. they even dropped Gucci off. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“Porter had a wonderful stay with Kellie! From the photos she sent throughout his visit, it was clear he was happy, well-cared for, and having a blast. He got plenty of outdoor time, playtime with a ball, and even made some furry friends. Kellie was communicative and consistent with updates, which made leaving him so much easier. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
