Darla, Greg & Shandy were great! Our dog, Goose, enjoyed her stay with them and Darla & Greg were extremely prompt with communication, sent updates on Goose's stay and were diligent gathering information/background information on Goose prior to her stay, to ensure she was set up for a great visit. We will use them to dog sit again!

Huactemo and the team watched Louie again this week, and as always, it was a great experience. Their reliability really stands out—every stay is consistent, smooth, and stress-free, which makes traveling so much easier for me. Louie was well cared for the entire time and got plenty of social interaction, which I really appreciate. It’s clear they make an effort to keep him engaged and comfortable, not just watched. I also received regular updates throughout the stay with notes on how Louie was doing and his behavior, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog once again. I truly appreciate the consistency and care—highly recommend!

Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!

This is the second time that Suzanne has watched Luna, and as always she went above and beyond. Luna had a funny tummy right before her stay and then her allergies started acting up and Suzanne took it in stride and made sure that Luna was eating the bland diet that we brought with Luna and even went out to get some Benadryl for her allergies after we realized I had forgotten to include it with Luna’s things. Suzanne will always be my first choice to watch Luna when I have to go out of town. Thank you so much!!

Diane was amazing. I have two small Maltese dogs with separation anxiety, so I was very nervous about leaving them. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease. She welcomed them into her home and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and confident. It was a wonderful experience, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I’m already booking with her again for future stays. Highly recommend!

Jessica is an absolute top-tier dog sitter. She has been caring for my dog for a few years and has always made me feel a sense of solace while I am out of town. My dog treats her house as a second home and she treats him like her own. He never looks back after drop off and even hogs the bed! If you are looking for a lovely, communicative, and super normal person to care for your pet as you would, Jessica is the right choice! I am moving away and Jessica has set the standard for all my future dog sitters. Thank you, Jessica!
