Christina has excellent communication and provides the best updates (including pictures and videos). She is well informed of a pet's needs.Even when she takes Bentley for walks, she goes above and beyond. When we pull into her neighborhood, Bentley cannot contain his excitement and eagerness to see her.”
“Sarah and her husband were the perfect fit for watching our dog Harper. We booked them last minute for a quick trip and they made Harper feel right at home! Harper gets nervous around dogs sometimes but after meeting Sara’s wonderful dog they got along just fine! I appreciated Sara’s great communication and the constant updates! Will definitely be booking with her again, would highly recommend!”
“Kelly was amazing at taking care of our Pebbles! Our pup was so happy to spend so much time playing in her backyard and got along so well with her golden. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos where we got to see what Pebbles was up to, whether having fun or taking a nap. When Pebbles came back home she slept the rest of the day until early morning, that’s how much fun she had while we were away!”
“Julie was wonderful to work with, very responsive with communication, flexible with scheduling, and took great care of our dog who loved playing with her dogs in the back yard. I will work with her again.”

“Stella took great care of my girls (a Boston terrier and a “Velcro” Dalmatian) for a week. It was a last minute booking and she communicated so promptly and professionally. She even offered a meet and greet which made me feel even more comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. Stella had a great yard for them to play in, and updated us with pictures and videos nearly everyday! I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust and feel like their babies were made feel right at home! Thank you Stella!”
“Cosette and her daughter took great care of Honey while I was away! Honey was a little nervous and had a hard time eating so she pulled out all the tricks to ensure she ate while we were gone!”
“Jennifer & Martyn were brilliant. This was my first Rover ever and I am so glad it was with them as they put my mind completely at ease. They took in my Leo with warm arms and treated him as their own. Not only did they, but also their lovely 11 year Beagle Maddie did as well. He almost didn’t want to leave his new friends!! Thank you thank you thank you, we will definitely be using Jen and Martyn again! :)”
“Karen was absolutely fantastic! She made sure our boys had plenty of playtime and love while my husband and I were away for a night. We have a younger boy that is still in his puppy stage who is great but is still learning and she didn’t have any difficulty keeping up with his pace. Our fur babies came home sleepy and happy. Will definitely rebook!”
“This was my first time doing pet sitting with my 7 month old puppy and I was super nervous but Abigail was so helpful and calmed my nerves sending me pictures and videos of my dog. I felt super comfortable knowing he was okay and on his own little vacation. Her dogs were so playful and sweet even with a size difference. A bonus is my dog came back so well behaved it was crazy he learned a-lot from her dogs is such a good way and that says a lot for a puppy😂 I will only be booking with Abigail!”
“Anna was wonderful with our dog Cali. It was Cali’s first stay away from us and Anna did a wonderful job of making her feel at home. She checked in with us daily and always sent photos. Cali was always happy. I would highly recommend her for watching your pet.”
“Stacie has made our boarding experience SO much better. After an awful experience with a local company, I was nervous about leaving him with someone else again. Stacie communicated with me every step of the way, which included daily photo updates. She was really great about my dog’s special dietary needs and administered his daily medication. Overall a wonderful experience and we will absolutely book with Stacie again in the future.”
