I will be rebooking ASAP and I am also going to include traditional daycare. Thanks Dwight and thanks Rover for doing all the research and making the process seamless!”



“I was thoroughly please with Ebonee' s skills as a dog sitter, because she went beyond my expectations. Having her as my pet's sitter allowed me to enjoy my week long vacation. Daily she sent photos, videos, and a description of my pet's day. I was impressed by her knowledge of my dog's behavior. I strongly believe my dog enjoyed his stay and he will visit again. She is very personable individual which is an added bonus. In addition, the she is beyond the 5-star rating. I felt confident and comfortable with Ebonee!!!! Thanks again Ebonee for caring for Luke?”

“Linde and sons looked after Nala for the second time while we were gone for the weekend. Like last time, they pampered Nala with home cooked meals and lots of attention and exercise. They also shared lots of pix that let us see how much fun Nala was having at their home. It's great to be able to feel relaxed and confident that Linde is treating Nala with the same love and care she gives her own dog, who, from the sound of things, is also welcoming to Nala. Thank you!”



“This was my first time leaving my fur baby and I was feeling more than a little anxiety about leaving him with a stranger. Well Beverly put all of those feelings to ease!!! She agreed to a meet and greet prior to our trip which allowed both myself and Myles to see if it would be a good fit. During his stay, she provided updates daily along with pictures and by the end of my trip it felt like I left my dog with a family member. I’m so happy I found her!!!!”
