“Amazing!! Our doodle loves going to Kellie’s to hangout with her doodle and her kiddos. She does a great job accommodating and keeping us updated with pics. We’ve used her twice now and will continue to do so!”
“Great experience. She did great with our dog. Our pet was was well taken care of. We picked her up aftera few days and our fuzzy girl was happy well fed and exercised. The sitter provided updates and even a few photos. The next trip we know who is watching our dog.”
“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Lia and Jonathan when Orla stayed overnight at their home. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They did an amazing job keeping us updated on how Orla was adjusting, sending photos and videos that really reassured us she was happy and settling in well. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs they host and treat them like part of the family. One thing that especially touched us was how gentle and sweet Orla was with their 18-month-old son. It was so heartwarming to see their son completely fall in love with her, and it showed how calm and well-handled the environment in their home is. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave Orla and would absolutely trust them with her again. Highly recommend Lia and Jonathan to anyone looking for a loving, attentive place for their dog to stay.”
“Amazing communication and care of our dog! We got photos and videos daily and she had so much fun. She loved playing with their dog Mun and was sad to leave. They even taught her some tricks. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a rover.”
“Our dogs had a great time with Shree and her dog Zusa. She made us feel comfortable and at ease with all the update videos and great communication. Our dogs were treated as if they were parts of her family. Definitely recommend Shree!”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“Tracy was very punctual in everything she did and was especially good at communicating with us. It was comforting to receive updates throughout the day through text messages and photos.”

Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.
Haley is the BEST. She was super accommodating, communicative, and so attentive with my fur babies. She sent pictures throughout the days I was gone alongside little updates and my dogs looked so happy and at peace with her. Took them for walks, kept them energized, loved on them during nap time - you name it. 10/10 not only recommending her, but using her again for any of our needs while we are away. Your animals are in AMAZING hands with her. :)
