“Nichole was awesome! Sent lots of photos and updates throughout the whole week. We are first time Rover users and she definitely made us and our pup feel very comfortable with a great experience all around!”


“Katherine did such an amazing job with my pups! They were absolutely loved and cared for. They had such a blast. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I wanna keep her services a hidden gem. She’s the best sitter we’ve had so far!”


“Buddy loved being at Jose’s house!! He was treated extremely well. I had to fly to FL for a funeral and Jose was able to not only pick Buddy up, but also dropped him off home when I returned. I think he got more exercise than he has in years (he’s 15!). Jose sent me pictures updating me on how he was doing. I will definitely use Jose’s services again. Thanks so much!!”


“We have had our two dogs stay with Angelo and Dawn before and it’s the best decision we made on who will care for them when we are out of town. They are so very kind and accommodating, and are very quick to respond to messages. They send multiple videos throughout the day and are excellent with their care, including special feeding guidelines and supplements. We live about 30 minutes away from them, but the drive is worth it for the best care for our babies. They provide superior care and love your babies as their own. So grateful for them!”


“Monica and Joseph sends daily pictures and videos of our fur baby playing with her other dogs and cat. Clean house and pays attention to detail. We could never have anyone else watch our baby when we are not able to bring him with us. Book, Book, Book!! You will not regret it!”


“Mariah and her fam were so awesome with Rhea! They were attentive and made sure to keep me updated with pics/ videos and messages. The whole family was warm and receptive! I will def rebook whenever we’re in town again!”


“Bridget was a wonderful host to our energetic husky mix. The large yard and comfy house has plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Bridget was very accommodating, had great communication, and made sure our spoiled pup felt loved and happy. I appreciated the photos she sent, too. Definitely recommend and would book again in the future when we need a dog sitter in the area!”


“What a great stay! Tami had great communication before and during the stay. She also sent lots of pictures of Faye playing with her two fun labs, Dolly and Bear . She has a great fenced in area for lots of play time and Faye felt right at home. They had a weekend of fun and Faye was worn out! Tami was flexible and willing to give Faye medicine as we had a last minute vet trip right before our trip. Will definitely be back!”


“Noel was amazing she was very sweet and took good care of my pug while I was out of town she sent me constant updates with pictures. I highly recommend her for any boarding needs!”


“Michelle and Christy were outstanding!! We received a text and pics every day and we could see that our little dogs were happy and comfortable staying with them. Our dogs were outside running with their dogs and living the good life while we were on vacation. The care and attention that our babies were given allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in excellent hands. I would highly recommend Michelle and Christy to other pet parents!! 🥰”


“Ann was very welcoming of Rocco! She took good care of him while I was out of state. It’s clear that she cares and knows a lot about dogs and I was comfortable leaving my baby with her!”


“My dog, Muffin, had a blast and Danielle was incredible and so fun to work with. I tend to worry my old man won’t have a good time away from me but i could tell he had so much fun in Danielle’s care. She was great with providing photo updates and took such good care of Muffin. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Merve was excellent with Noah. We were a little nervous, it was the first time leaving him someone. She sent us pics and kept us abreast of his activities. Noah really seemed to like her and they bonded. Will definitely us her again. She's a ten.”


“She was amazing w/ my Beau. I loved that she also had a Pom and knew how the breed can be. He was so happy during the walks and he seemed right at home at her place. I will definitely be returning.”


“Used Anna to keep my dog Boomer for 9 days and everything was perfect. She sent updated pictures and videos Boomer looked like he was having a great time like he was at home. We're most definitely going to use them again everytime we go out of town in the future. It's his new home away from home and I swear I think they even gave him a bath.”


“The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.”
