“I requested Matt & Nicole last minute and they were awesome! Blue had such a great time at Matt & Nicole's house. They did such a great job taking care of our Blue, constant updates, great pictures, and quick responses.”


“I’m am very happy leaving my Gus with Annette he loves and enjoys her company and doggie friends. She is always very nice to send me updates and pictures of Gus playing with friends. He was certainly very happy staying with Annette”


“Briana is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I was beyond satisfied choosing Briana. If you need someone to watch your pet look no more. Enzi had a blast and we felt very confident he was being well taken care of. We 100% will go back to Briana for any future care of our boy.”


“Susan took great care of our 9 month old puppy. Our Sunny is full of energy and playful and Susan kept up with her!! Lol. She had her overnight/24 hours. She sent lots of pictures and communicated great. Thanks again!! Would recommend her to others!”


“Angie is a dog owner so she treated my fur babies like family. She took pictures and videos and sent them to me. This made feel confident that my babies were in good hands. Cooper and Dixies thanks Angie just the same.”


“Shelisha did an amazing job with Luna! She kept me totally in the loop with constant updates, including tons of pictures and video messages. If you're a fur parent who values consistent notifications about your pet, Shelisha is highly recommended!”


“Rosie had the best weekend with Brittanie and her family! She was loved and cared for like she was their own. Brittanie sent pictures every day to show me how much fun Rosie was having and communicated with me with how she was doing. I felt so comfortable having Rosie with her and knew she would get lots of attention and cuddles. I am already booking another stay. 100% would recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their fur baby.”


“My dog Sam had such a great stay with Joanne. He is normally very nervous about meeting new people, but he took to Joanne right away, and he loved playing with her dog Juno. Joanne has a nice big back yard that is fenced, so Sammy got lots of outdoor time (which he loves). She kept me up to date each day on how he was doing by sending photos. I definitely plan to use Joanne again in the future, and I recommend her highly as a sitter.”


“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them. They kept me updated constantly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog felt right at home and was truly happy. It felt like a little vacation for him too! I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”



“Kendra was awesome and provided great updates & photos when I left my dog with her for 4.5 days. Jack seemed very happy and very comfy in all the pictures! He made himself right at home with her and I was so glad to see it!”


“Summer was absolutely amazing with our little girl, Bella, who is it puppy. Also, she just lost her brother, and was very commanding from losing a booking of two dogs down to one dog. On top of that, we had to readjust our schedule, and again was very accommodating to our circumstances! Hands-down for this dog sitter who went above, and beyond taking care of our little girl! I highly recommend her!!”


“We are so thankful for Angelica! She responded very quickly to our last minute need for boarding care for our 2 dogs. She took such good care of them for 8 days. She sent pictures and videos everyday to show how well they were settling in to their environment. They were so happy, clean and well taken care for when we picked them up. Angelica responds very quickly to our texts. We will be using her in the future for sure”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful and kind. She kept me updated all day long and sent me pictures as well! Valentino absolutely loved her and cuddled with her all day. 100% recommend Michelle!!”


“She was amazing with our boy! He was very nervous at first but she made him feel welcome and safe. I loved getting pictures and a daily summary from her. She went above and beyond to make his stay enjoyable.”


“As always, my kitties and my Chorkie - Henry - loved their visits with Cyd Marie. They are well-loved and cared for when I have to leave town. No worrying for me while Cyd Marie is taking care of my "kids".”
