1. Jennifer G.
“So, so kind and understanding of me and my pet (we’re both anxious 😬). Truly phenomenal contact with photos and stories of my fur baby’s stay. We can’t thank you enough!”
2. Carolyn H.
“I can’t recommend Carrie enough! She goes above and beyond to ensure Boujee is comfortable and happy, with plenty of playtime and attention. My dog absolutely loves spending time with her, which makes me confident in leaving him in her care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
3. Debra G.
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
4. J D.
“The best Rover sitter! J D truly loves dogs, and it’s a great feeling to know we’re leaving our dog with someone who cares about their well-being. J D took care of our senior dog Nemo, with lots of warmth and affection. When we picked him he didn’t seem anxious to leave, he was so relaxed. J D was also flexible and accommodating with our scheduling needs, he’s professional and reliable all around.”
5. Jutharat "Jen" R.
“Jen and her family were very kind and sweet enough to watch my two cats over the weekend. I appreciate their patience with them as they get a little shy and skiddish meeting new people or being in a new place. She sent me updates and photos of the two of them. Opie (my boy) definitely was more of the explorer and curious one around the house. Mew (my girl) was far more shy, so I appreciate Jen and her family giving her space to feel comfortable. She had a designated room for them but also allowed them to explore the house which they do love to be able to climb around. I would definitely come back to have them watch the cats! Thank you to all of you!”
6. Tracey S.
“Tracey sent photos of Dusty during the stay, kept us informed. Dusty had a blast apparently, and enjoyed playing with her dog and them all weekend. And has napped a bunch since coming home. Usually only does that when has been active.”
7. Wendy M.
“Wendy took great care of me and my husband's two cats and kept us updated the whole time! Both are indoor-only cats and them having their own room to stay in was a big deal. Their room was spacious and allowed for more than enough room for them to play and run around in and even had a nice window view. Would definitely book again in the future!!”
8. Jenna S.
“Second time using Jenna and her family. My dogs were so excited and couldn’t wait to get out of my car when they saw where we were. That is a great feeling when you have to leave your pups - knowing they are in a place they want to be and are loved on.”
9. Susan L.
“She’s a lifesaver and honestly the best person I could’ve asked for to watch over Mayla for me, if you’re a service member I would highly recommend her she is the BEST and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my pet.”
10. Thomas W.
“Great feedback from Thomas on his our boy Kobe was with him. Sent us with plenty of photos to assure us he’s having a blast. Thank you Thomas! Hope to use your services again.”
11. Matthew S.
“Matthew is one of the most caring animal lover I know. He has had experience working for a veterinarian in the past and has had numerous dogs of his own. He is gentle and patient and most of all responsible. I have two dogs of my own and I would not hesitate to have Matthew care for them. I tease that he is the pet whisperer.”
12. Paul W.
“Paul took great care of Cozy. He was a great communicator and sent lots of pictures. This is our second time staying with him and we will definitely come again. Thanks Paul!”
13. Jennifer M.
“This was our dog Cali’s second stay with Jennifer. She was very responsive and sent pics to keep us up to date how she was doing. Cali is pretty shy, but once she warms up, she makes herself right at home. Thanks again Jennifer!”
14. Michelle M.
“I was so pleased with the care provided for Harley by Michelle. She kept me updated with texts and photos which gave me peace of mind that Harley was enjoying himself and very happy at Michelle’s home. I look forward to using her services again soon. Sharon S.”
15. Christy & Cornell N.
“We had a sitter for our pup for 3 yrs and had to find him a new sitter since we moved. After looking at several sitter we ate really happy and blessed to find Christy and her family. They are very loving and caring and took a very good care of our pup. They also shared an update with a picture which gave us a peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of. Thank you Christy and family!”
16. Keren S.
“We have left our dog, Jack, with Keren a couple times now. I feel very comfortable leaving him there and I'm pretty sure he loves it too. He's never nervous when we get there---a noticeable difference from other places he's stayed. I'm so glad we found Jack's Home Away From Home!”
17. Vince T.
“Amazing experience with Vince!! He was very receptive & sent many updates and pictures. The ranch is huge & perfect for dogs! Sol had a great time.”
18. Sabrina F.
“Sabrina, was a great dog sitter for my dog. She knew the right things to do making my dog happy during her walks and taking care of her with extra care during her stay in her home.”
19. Brian G.
“Brian and his family (wife and son) were absolutely wonderful hosts to our energetic dog, Nicolai, for the past two weeks! We could tell that Nico had a fantastic time and was very happy during his stay. Brian and his family were so loving and caring, and they followed all of our requests and instructions perfectly. What was especially impressive was how they accommodated Nico's sensitive nature and bit barky in new places. They truly helped him relax and feel comfortable. It's clear they are true dog lovers, and we felt completely at ease leaving Nicolai in their care. We highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their furry friend. Thank you, Brian, for taking such great care of Nicolai!”
20. Jeremy C.
“This is our first time using an app to find a pet sitter. I love the introduction video they provide and the quick responses. We received videos and pics of our big guy every day that he was there. We would totally be using their services again 😊 Thank you both so much for the awesome care you gave to our fur baby.”
