“Carlee did great with our pup! We were gone at a music festival, and we received so many updates. We felt that she had a great time with her and her family.”
7. Lucinda W.
“Our yorkie-poo LOVED Cindy! She was the perfect Rover for him. She spoiled him and treated him as her own fur baby. It was nice having a Rover who focuses her attention on one dog at a time in her home, so we didn’t need to worry about how he would interact with unfamiliar dogs. We felt very confident in her care and trusted her as she is a long term resident in the community. She also sent some cute pictures of our Franklin! Thank you, Cindy! Highly recommend especially for little dogs who need extra attention. We will definitely use Cindy again. 🐕🦺”

“Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.”

18. Jessica V.
“Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!”
19. stefanie s.
