“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”

Charlie had the best time with Deanna and her pups. Deanna sent lots of pictures and updates and even helped work on Charlie’s puppy school homework. We cannot thank Deanna enough, Charlie misses you!”

“I was very nervous for Spiky since I had never left him before with anyone, but Joanne made me feel better because she was sending pictures and messages with updates about Spiky. We appreciate Joanne for giving our baby all the attention and love he needed while we were gone. I 200% recommend her and I recommend the Rover app as well.”


16. Kyli U.

“I cannot recommend Kyli highly enough! She recently cared for my two dogs and went above and beyond in every aspect of her service. She was incredibly accommodating to my last-minute schedule changes, which I truly appreciated. Kyli kept me updated throughout their stay with regular messages and photos, giving me complete peace of mind. Her communication was outstanding—she responded to every text message almost immediately, making it easy to stay connected and reassured. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy under her supervision. Kyli’s professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”


17. Luz M.

“Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.”

“Karla was so great with my Nelly! I received texts and pictures throughout the stay letting me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. Nelly must have had a great time because she was worn out from playing the entire first day she was home. I feel very comfortable leaving her with Karla again and am already looking to book Nelly’s next visit!”
