Vivian helped with a last minute request to watch our pup. She was really flexible with our changing needs and we were happy our dog stayed with her for a few hours while we visited the zoo. Very friendly and responsive.

Matilda did a fantastic job with my dog Annie. Sent lots of photos and kept me updated, she even went out of her way to pick up extra food from the store when it was needed. I will absolutely be using her again.

I would highly recommend and trust Honey with your fur baby. She was very friendly and fast to respond. She made it easy to drop off my pup by meeting her first and then introducing my dog to her Australian cattle dog. Honey also gave me updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. This eased my mind as It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I could tell my girl was happy and had a good day. Loved honey, her dog, and how she cared for mine.

Ryan is loveable and the ultimate animal person. His house is completely animal friendly and he makes sure I don't have to worry about my dog. Ryan takes everything in stride and also just a great human being. House is secure and good parking for drop off and pick up. Everything was returned organized. Only thing is now my dog is spoiled...or more spoiled hahaha

We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our pup to the care of Geneva and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met Geneva, we could sense her genuine love and passion for animals, and that was reassuring right off the bat. Communication was impeccable. We received regular updates, including photos, which brought us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was in good hands. It was evident that Geneva took the time to understand our pet's needs and preferences, and she catered to them with care and attention to detail. Overall, we cannot recommend Geneva highly enough. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals makes her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking pet-sitting services. She is truly a gem in the world of pet-sitting!

Tory has tenderly loved dogs since she was 5 years old! When her first love, Sunny - the English Springer Spaniel, was old and difficult to love, she loved her even more - always willing to snuggle and embrace her aging weaknesses. And then her new buddy, Bogey - the Golden Retriever, arrived and Tory dropped everything and came home from college to make sure she could create a special bond to the new family puppy. She also showed her heart for all dogs when she slept on the sofa with her brother's rescue, Frankie, who was struggling to acclimate to her new home.

This was my first time leaving Tessa with someone else and Kara’s caring personality really put me at ease. I would recommend Kara to anyone and I look forward to using her services again if needed.

Candice was very accommodating as this was our first Rover booking. We were nervous about leaving our dog as he has never been kenneled but it worked out perfect. Candice has other small dogs and our dog seemed curious and relaxed after arriving. I would highly recommend Candice and she seems to genuinely care about animals.

I just had my first experience with Max and Alicia taking care of my dog for a sleepover with them. I felt at ease immediately from the first meet and greet moment to the entire experience. Alicia was out of town so I didn’t get to meet her this time but Max has a present and calm, positive peaceful energy, which put me at ease to entrust them with my dog. My dog is a very sensitive pooch and needs to be around calm people and in calm environments, which their yard and home also are. Max kept in regular contact with me sending me photos and updates. Even though it was raining he still managed to take her on a couple walks and to the beach. When I picked my dog up the next day she was so happy and I could see she had a great time! I look forward to meeting Alicia next time and I’ll definitely be sending my dog to stay with them on my future trips. I’m so glad I found them, thank you both!!
