1. Michelle T.
“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”
2. Matt M.
“Matt took great care of our pups, properly spoiling them for us like we would and kept us updated with great pics. We never worried and were happy the pups had as great a vacation as we did. Top notch!!”
3. DAMACIA J.
“I am more than pleased with the ❤️ and care DAMACIA provided for my 3 months puppy. I would recommend her and we will be going back. Was a little nervous at first, but she reassured me he would be fine even around other Fur Babies.”
4. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”
5. Dawn B.
“Dawn was a delight to have as Oliver's sitter. She provided a ton of updates and we were completely at ease with how she cared for Oliver. Even with his separation anxiety, Oliver was doing well and thrived with Dawn and her husband. Dawn even made treats for Oliver after the boarding. I am so happy we found Dawn to watch over Oliver. Definitely planning coming back to Dawn!”
6. Blythe R.
“Blythe took good care of my pup. She’s mature, calm and communicative. She was flexible when my schedule changed and I would definitely book again.”
7. Tiffany B.
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
8. Emily B.
“Emily was a great host for Dante. She made sure to be super communicative and send frequent photo updates, and we look forward to future visits for Dante!”
9. Jeffrey H.
“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”
10. Hannah L.
“Hannah was great as always, she was super communicative, sent lots of great updates, and was overall great! Highly recomend and will be using again!”
11. Amy M.
“Amy has now watched our chocolate lab twice, this time for an entire week. She did a great job watching her and provided us with many great photos through out the week to keep us in the loop. It was obvious our dog had a great time since she's been sleeping most of the time since we picked her up two days ago!”
12. Hilary R.
“Hilary was wonderful with my pup and even set up a meet and greet prior to my stay to ensure he was comfortable in her home. She really eased my mind about having to leave him for the first time and made sure he was happy the whole time! She was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to end his stay sooner than expected due to him getting sick. She offered to care for him but I choose to have a friend come get him to take him to the vet instead just so he was with someone he knew. However, Hillary’s updates on his health during the time he was with her were thorough and helped keep me calm during this very stressful situation!”
13. Cyndi M.
“First time leaving our Bella (for a 10 day vacay) so anxiety was through the roof with just the thought of leaving her. After meeting Cyndi I knew I found the perfect person and WOW did she ever exceed my expectations. Cyndi is so easy to worth it and”
14. Kaitlin H.
“It was our first time having our fur-baby dog-sat and Kaitlin exceeded our expectations! Kaitlin watches a few dogs at a time, so Beau was able to hang out with other dogs (which he loves!). I was worried about him interacting with the cat, but apparently the cat is mad cool and they got along. She was always super quick to respond and Beau seemed to have a good time!”
15. Aj M.
“AJ was great with communication and amazing with my baby! My baby even made some friends! I’ll definitely be returning hands down and I’ve always referred him!”
16. Maggie S.
“My dog Oscar seemed to enjoy playing with her pup. She has a nice fenced yard for play sessions and she sent daily picture updates. She was also flexible with pickup/dropoff times (and changes). I would use again”
17. Cindy T.
“This was the first time I have been able to go on vacation since I got my now 1 year old Frenchie named Scrappy. I was going on a week vacation to the beaches of FL. I searched for hours on Rover when I came across Cindy’s profile. The overall profile, ratings, feedback, and returning customers helped me make my decision. Every day that I was away, I received pictures and updates on how Scrappy was doing. He was having the time of his life! I could tell by the pictures alone he was getting so much love and attention. That is huge when you are away and your fur baby is not with you. The peace of mind was invaluable! When I picked Scrappy up she had even given him a fresh bath!! I can’t recommend Cindy enough if you are looking for someone to LOVE and CARE for your baby while you are gone. To now have someone that I trust 100% so that I am able to go on trips is a wonderful feeling. I will absolutely be using Cindy, and only Cindy, in the future!! ❤️ 🐶 🏡”
18. Nicole B.
“Nicole is absolutely amazing at handling my dogs even when they’re nervous about being in a new environment and being around other dogs. She always takes great care of them and sends update pictures and videos on her own initiative! She’s my go-to and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
19. Sheri J.
“Best dog sitter we have ever had. Outstanding daily communication and the friendliest person! We will for sure use her services again and appreciate everything she has done for us and our puppers. Thank you so much!”
20. Taylor G.
“Taylor was great and super friendly! Nacho was exhausted when he came home so I know he had the best time playing with River. Def recommend Taylor taking care of your pet! Thank you for allowing us to know he’s in good hands!”
