“Ashlee was wonderful with my two pups! Ashlee communicated well and sent pictures/videos to me everyday. My pups had a great time with Ashlee! I definitely reccomend having Ashlee watch your dogs, she will take care of them as if they are her own!”


“Went with Ashley and David for a second time and was not disappointed!! My dog’s tail started wagging when we pulled into the neighborhood to drop him off! The kids really seemed to love him and they send lots of pictures so it felt like I was still with him! I will absolutely use them again!”


“Ruby had an awesome time! Roger took excellent care of her and was very responsive! He kept us updated throughout everyday with photos and updates. Already looking to book again with Roger!”


“As always, Kaylene and family take the best care of Sequoia! They are so sweet to her. She loves being there. I can relax knowing she’s taken care of 😊”


“It was not the first time we leave our setter overnight with a dog sitter, but it was one of the most pleasant ones. Emily communicates exceptionally well either on details of the visit or updates on your dog stay. On any inquiry she replies almost immediately. She is very well organized, very clear with her expectations, attentive to dog’s (owners’ ) preferences and observant of dogs she watches . Our dog was very happy with his 3 days stay in Emily’s house. He spent most of the time playing, but he was not agitated, overexcited or restless when we picked him up. We had some concerns about our very joyful and playful dog being around 3 years old and treating her as a playmate, but both of them minded their own business. We highly recommend Emily and definitely will be back.”


“Luke and Kimberly took excellent care of my dog. They sent pictures and even made him homemade dog treats! I would definitely recommend them and I am planning to use them again.”


“A+ This was our first time leaving our young dog with someone else. Torey did an amazing job caring for Harper. She sent photos and updates daily, allowing us to see how Harper's visit was going. Torey had nothing but praise for Harper and Harper seemed almost sad to leave. I think Harper made some new friends while she was there and wanted to stay and play! We would definitely recommend Torey to anyone looking to leave their dog in a safe and caring environment while away from home.”


“Liberty is a great caregiver for your pet family members! Despite being her first time with Liberty, I could tell that my dog, Oreo, had a great stay and was well taken care of. Thank you, Liberty!”


“Kelly was fantastic and we will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future. She took great care of our pup and sent lots of pictures and videos during the stay. Thank you Kelly!”


“Caitlyn was flexible in working with my drop off time. Al was very well taken care of and I appreciated the updates on him while I was gone. I would definitely recommend and use them again ☺️”



“This was the 2nd stay with Jean because the initial experience was so positive. My confidence in Jean's expertise ensures that I can travel worry free. My little dog adores her and has a great time playing with his furry friends and going outside to freely roam in the safety of her lovely back yard.”


“Jamie was so wonderful and I couldn’t have picked a better place for my pup to stay while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and kept me informed about how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will be having my dog stay with Jamie every time I go out of town!”


“Moira was awesome! She sent pictures and even some videos of our puppy which made me feel very comfortable with his stay. He looked very happy and was wore out when we picked him up. I definitely recommend her!”


“Bailey and her family did amazing with Moose. Our sitter canceled on us week before our trip and she was willing to watch our 3 month old puppy on short notice. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Moose had a great time and he will definitely be back! Thank you so much!!”


“Kelly was awesome! Provided tons of pictures, played with him one-on-one, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Thank you so much!”


“Andrea and her family are extremely loving and patient. She sent updates and lots of pictures of our senior dog and puppy while we were away. Both dogs were well taken care of and loved.”


“This family is the best. Hannah and Will were so accommodating and kind and attentive to not only our dog but to us as well. This was the first time we used Rover in about 3 years so I was pretty particular. Hannah and her family were a perfect fit for our 4 yr old pup. They have two other dogs who were so playful and welcomed mine rt into their pack. They also have two young daughters who knew exactly how to safely approach our dog for the first time and all times after that. They were excellent listeners to their parents and were thoroughly excited to welcome our dog into their home. And within a few hours …maybe minutes…our dog was snuggling rt up to them. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent many photo updates! They even taught him to “stay” out of kitchen while they ate, as do their other 2 dogs. We have already booked her for July. Thank u Hannah and Will.”


“Renee treated my dog very well. She provided updates several times a day and includes photos. I found Renee to be very easy to work with. 5/5 will book again.”


“Ellie and Bruno took great care of my lab for a long weekend. I can tell he was well loved by them and got plenty of walks to curb his energy. They were very accommodating and respond quick to messages, too. 100% recommend!”


“Our puppy loves going to Keeley & Ethen R for long and short stays. He is so spoiled when he is with them. They are easy to work with, quick to respond and send plenty of updates and pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
