1. Carolyn & Kristopher B.
“I am beyond pleased with the care Wrigley and Henry received from Carolyn and Kris. Our dogs took nice long walks each day- even with all the rain there was the week of their stay. We received plenty of updates and pictures which were greatly appreciated. The dogs definitely enjoyed their stay and came home happy and tired from all the fun! Highly recommend and would use them again!”
2. Mike W.
“Mike was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time leaving my dog, so I was a bit nervous. Mike checked in and sent pictures of a happy pup, and that made me feel so great! Highly recommend!”
3. Caleb K.
“Caleb was amazing! He was very sweet and attentive towards my high energy Husky puppy. 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend to anyone. I will definitely be using him again as long as he is available!”
4. Kelly M.
“Kelly is amazing, I booked very last minute with her because a previous sitter I booked the week prior fell through. With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely be returning!”

“Hannah was phenomenal. She was very interested and invested in making Sukha's stay away from home as easy and enjoyable as possible. She provided daily updates of a very happy dog. She was also very easy to contact and flexible with pick up and drop off times. I will definitely be bringing Sukha to her in the future.”

“The best rover we have ever had. She cared and spoiled our golden retriever like she was her own dog. She was extremely accommodating to a last minute change in a trip and made it easy us to take a trip out of state. I will be looking to book Carla again in the future! Lily was spoiled by her!”

We had a one night stay as a trial run for our longer absence and it went really well. We feel confident our dogs will be well cared for while we're on vacation!”
