Roxy had really fun with Amy and her family. Amy was very nice with my dog, she took care of her like if she is hers. She sent me pictures every day. I strongly recommend her.

Mellie absolutely loves the time she spends at Marilyn’s! From running around with the other dogs, to going down the slide in the backyard and playing in the kiddie pool to snuggles with Marilyn’s adorable kiddos, there never seems to be a dull moment and Mellie always comes home happy and utterly exhausted. Marilyn is a joy to communicate with- she is super quick to respond, super attentive to all of Mellie’s allergy and separation anxiety needs, and makes sure to keep me updated with photos and videos, whether Mellie is there just for the day for doggy daycare or for a longer stay. I am so grateful to Marilyn and her family for the love they have shown to me and Mellie and we will definitely continue booking with them in the future!!

I have the most anxious pup so I’m extra grateful for Susan being so patient with him. I received updates and pictures and I felt comfortable with Wyatt being there. Super nice family.

Very satisfied with Debra. She sent photos of my pup every day. She’s very responsive to messaging or phone calls. This was the first time we used a sitter outside of family or really close friends. Debra understand our concerns and assured us that our precious baby was in great hands. We will definitely be using her in the future.

Lesa worked wonders with our shy dog, bringing her out of her shell in a way we never thought possible. The patience and understanding she displayed was truly remarkable. Since then, our dog has been thriving—more confident, playful, and visibly happier. It's evident that Lesa’s genuine connection and efforts have had a lasting, positive impact. We are immensely grateful for the transformation and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a caring and skilled pet sitter.

So glad we found Dina. We have a senior fur baby that we were very concerned with leaving her with someone who may not understand the care for senior dogs. Dina was great! She was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. I would highly recommend her. We will be using her again.

Cori is an amazing cat sitter! She has her own cat named Griffin who is just as kind and patient. My kitten hadn’t gotten much exposure being around other cats so I really appreciated her first interactions being with another friendly and calm cat. Cori gave plenty of check in’s and sent the most adorable videos and pictures that made me feel like my cat was with a family friend or right down the street. This was my first time using a cat sitter and Rover and I would 10/10 recommend!

Alex was great! He sent loads of pictures and was very flexible and understanding when plans changed at short notice. My dog that’s prone to hunger strike even ate his meals, so I know he felt very comfortable there. I would definitely rebook!

Jade is great and professional! Our cat stayed two nights with her and end up missing his playmates (Jade's two cats) when the stay was over (he keeps sniffing the carrier and sleeping in it when we go home lol). Will trust Jade for any future cat sitting!

We don’t trust many people with our dog Toby. However, our first meet & greet with Austin and Wendy was so positive that all our fear and anxiety vanished. It did not take long for Toby to feel right at home with them. Their dogs who were so well behaved in spite of Toby being all over them and their toys. Throughout his stay we kept getting pictures and update on all his activities. We would highly recommend their service.

Vanessa and her family made our dogs feel right at home. When we returned, they were clearly happy and relaxed after their stay. Nothing could please us more than to know our puppies were safe and relaxed while we were away.

Betsy was truly incredible with our dog, Ozzy! It was his first stay away from home (COVID dog) and he had so much fun with Betsy and her furry crew. Her texts and pics put us all at ease and saved us from worry. I'd recommend Betsy wholeheartedly as a caregiver!! We so much appreciate the care and attention she gave to Ozzy.
