Lori was absolutely wonderful with my 2 difficult 4 legged babies. She played with them, cuddled them. We have used her in the past and will continue as she is great.

We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!

Sarah Beth took such great care of our pups. She sends daily updates that are detail oriented and straightforward. She is sweet, professional, and easy to communicate with. We have boarded or had dog sitters before in the past, but they were by far the happiest we’ve ever seen them this time around. Our home was also in great condition upon return. Really, we would give her a 6/5 if we could. We will definitely be using her in the future and if you’re a natural worrier like me, you will be able to rest assured with Sarah Beth.

Elliana was great! We had never used Rover before and it’s hard to leave your fur babies! She was responsive and dependable. She sent updates and pictures throughout the night and our dogs got to remain comfortable in the familiarity of their own home. We will definitely have Elliana come back again!

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Isabel has extensive experience with caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. She loves animals! She is very responsible and well-educated about pets, due to her research and many years caring for dogs/cats at the Animal Rescue League, a veterinary clinic, dog-sitting jobs, and dog groomer. Some people have called her the “dog-whisperer” because of her calming presence.

Eric W is a respected teacher and coach and also a dog lover. He has his own rescue dog that he and his family take great care of. She has had some special needs, and they go above and beyond to care for her. He is responsible and caring, and would take great care of your dog. I can recommend him without hesitation.
