We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!

Sharon did an awesome job making sure Cricket was happy and comfortable! Cricket is a senior dog who is blind and challenges with hearing and doing steps so caring for her is a bit of a challenge. Cricket has happy and safe - what more could a dog-mommy want?? Thanks, Sharon!

Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.

Karissa was very accommodating and responded to my last minute request for care after the sitter scheduled cancelled on us last minute. Right away my dog sensed her good energy, that of her family and home. He was happy at drop off and came back happy, which speaks volumes of the good care he received. I appreciated the daily update and reassuring pictures. If I am in Newport next year, I hope Chapu can stay with Karissa and family again. Thanks so much!

Yunshu and her family took excellent care of my Mini Schnauzer, Harry. I received photos and videos often while I was away. Her two little girls loved playing and walking Harry So he was kept busy all the time so he didn't have time to miss me. HaHa. Their house is very clean and well kept and I knew he was in great hands when I first visited. I will definitely have Yunshu watch Harry again when I take a trip.

Jessica is a true dog lover. There should be absolutely no worries with leaving your dog with her. Abu is precious as could be. Very detail oriented to make sure taken care of per your instructions with the utmost care. On top of making sure your dog cones first - toys, walks, food amd etc. No hesitations and will be booking again and considering Jessica my dogs go to sitter handsdown. It can be hard to find someone you trust like Jessica.

I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.

Jordan was an absolute lifesaver when we needed a sitter on very short notice (after our other Rover sitter was a NO SHOW😳). She not only graciously agreed to keep Cody for us, thus saving our vacation, but she asked lots of questions and I could see afterwards that he was very well cared for. Then she even met me halfway to pick him up, saving me travel time. I’d absolutely book Jordan again if we were in the area! Thanks Jordan !

Briana took such good care of my little Max! She sent daily updates and pictures, he got in many good walks and naps! Briana was very good with Max immediately and I could tell he felt comfortable with her when we met. Briana is very easy going and patient and I felt so content leaving Max in her care. Highly recommend and I will be sure to use her again.
