“Absolutely wonderful! Gabby sent photos daily of my pets who adored her right from the start. She was also flexible with my schedule changes for drop off and pick up times. Dependable and trustworthy!”
“Amanda took fantastic care of our pup Archie. She provided daily updates, lots of snuggles, and worked with us when we had to unexpectedly extend our booking. I hope to use Amanda for dog sitting again in the future.”
“Spirit had a great time with Walter and Sarah. They provided great photo updates and were flexible with my drop off/pick up time. Spirit is Walter’s biggest fan!”
“Irene and her family were very lovely and accommodating! She sent plenty of photos and it is clear that Murphy felt comfy and safe with them. Will book again!”
“Debbie took perfect care of my pup while I was gone for a week! She took her on walks, to the beach, and sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated! I would definitely recommend and book her again in the future.”
“Baloo, my 16-month-old German Shepherd, has been coming here for months, and this has truly become his safe haven. He's a high-energy pup who can be a handful when he's under-stimulated, but here, he always finds friends to play with and enjoys lots of outdoor time. Highly recommend Laura and Charlie!”
“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Paul was fantastic with our sheepadoodle, Shibobo! Shibobo can be handful given his large size and energy, but Paul was quick to get to know him and learn how to manage his quirks. Paul was a great communicator and sent us regular updates. Overall, we are so pleased to have found Paul and highly recommend him! We look forward to having him watch Shibobo again soon.”
“Our dog Ernie had a great time with Bob while we were out of town! You can tell Bob really loves what he does, and it comes through in how he cares for the dogs he watches. We also loved getting videos of Ernie! Thanks, Bob!”
“Sophia and Andy are awesome. They sent regular updates and pictures of Max while we were away. Both are very experienced and are able to gauge and took really good care of Max. There are very few instances when Max was away from us in past, Sophie and Andy made him comfortable and gave him love, giving us the peace of mind. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
“Erin was amazing with Remy from strong and frequent communication to managing his many peculiarities (he loves to rip up a paper towel). Erin also was able to care for Remy when he was feeling sick and anxious to be away from me; will absolutely book again!”
“Suzanne was very caring and engaged with our pups. While they had some “accidents” during the adjustment, Suzanne was understanding and worked with our dogs. We highly recommend suzanne for your boarding needs”
“I instantly felt at ease dropping my nervous pup off with Tammy. She provided updates with photos throughout the stay. Communication was clear and timely. Thank you, Tammy!”
“Tammy is wonderful & would definitely recommend her to everyone. She had everything ready for Ari’s (my pup) arrival (toys, treats, water & food bowls), she sent photos throughout their time together, and just very sweet person all around. Ari has never stayed with someone she wasn’t already familiar with and she is very timid & anxious around new people so I was nervous. But she took to Tammy immediately. Again, 100x recommend.”
“Molly had the best time staying with Eleonora and her family! She immediately felt comfortable during our meet and greet and loved running around with the kids. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”

Cynthia is great! She is so easy to work with and obviously loves dogs so much. She has a warm home with a fun time for the dogs that stay with her. My dog is a senior and also has a few extra care instructions, and she happily accommodated with our supplements and eye drops. We would (and will) happily send our dog back to her anytime. Highly recommend!
Our dog absolutely loved his stay with Andrea and her family. We are a couple days out from him returning and he seems like he’s still missing his time there. You can tell Andrea and her kids care for the dogs. They have a secure fenced in backyard and it seems like our dog got to enjoy some time outdoors. We loved the updates and cute pictures she sent. We will use her again in the future. Thank you!
Ella is the best! She was incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs and made sure to send us plenty of photos of him having a blast while we were away. It was a huge relief for us (and our nervous pup) to leave him with her instead of a boarding facility. We can’t recommend her more!!
Jeffrey and Ron did an amazing job caring for our dog Olive. She is a bit anxious and I was worried about needing to leave her. She was happy and calm through out the stay with them and came home calmer than in past attempts to leave her home but have someone come in and care for her. Jeffrey and Ron were very communicative about how she was doing and I was very pleased with the care and love they gave her. Olive can’t wait to go back for more unlimited tummy rubs!
Usually our boys are wining and panting when we pick them up. With Myriam, they did the opposite and hesitated leaving. Myriam did very well taking care of our two little ones and sharing updates/pictures every day. This was our first booking with her and she exceeded our expectations!
This was my first time using Rover, which I was pretty nervous about since I usually have a family member watch my dog. Sandra and Sorin were very friendly sitters. They took excellent care of my dog and sent me cute photos and videos of my dog. Mikey had a great time with them. I will be recommending them again in the near future.
