Kirsten's home and yard are pet friendly, our young dog loved staying there. We received daily updates & photos, and Kirsten kept us informed of any concerns, e.g. trouble sleeping.

We had Monica watch our Gus for the weekend and couldn't be happier! It was our first time using Rover and she was amazing! She sent us updates and pictures everyday. I would highly recommend Monica. She took him on lots of walks and he seemed so happy and worn out when we picked him up! I can't say enough great things about her.

This was our first time using Rover and first time for our Golden Retriever Leika, to stay with someone other than family. Jenny and her family took such good care of our dog and sent updates every day. I would definitely use them again and recommend to others!

Very professional-This was our first time boarding our dog anywhere. Caleb and crow made us very welcome and a feeling of security to leave our pup for a couple days. Caleb gave us frequent updates and made sure our dog was well cared for. Will be returning for sure!

Trudy and her husband were so great with Cici. You can tell that she's a great caretaker because her dog Archie is so sweet as well. Cici spent so much time playing with Archie and outside, which was perfect for him. It can be so hard to tire out a Blue Heeler, but my furry son always comes home pooped and content. It's an open environment with a very clean setting, and a very knowledgeable owner who is focused on not only making sure your pet is safe and taken care of, but also comes home a better dog.

Our puppy was showered with love and received personalized care while we were away for a long weekend. We received regular updates, and Sarah was very flexible with our requests. They love dogs. We felt safe leaving our puppy with them. Great family.

Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.

Casandra is so great with our pups. She has taken care of our elder bichon and our puppy and now teenaged cavapoo. The dogs love her and her family and they take such great care with them. She and her family spend lots of time outdoors and playing with the pups and snuggling too. They always come home happily worn out. Cannot recommend enough!

Michelle was amazing for our dog! This was his first stay away from us and to say we were nervous is an understatement. Michelle made sure Maverick was loved the whole time and made sure to update me with plenty of pics and videos. They really made Maverick apart of their family for the week! We couldn’t be more grateful and will definitely book again!

Giovana & her family were absolutely amazing to our pup, Tucker! She was speedy in communication and sent lots of photos during his stay there. She was very accommodating & you can tell has a huge heart for animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We've already got our next away-dates scheduled with them.
