“Melissa was extremely responsive with our request for boarding our two pups. We were coming into town for a conference and she readily accepted them into her home. While she had 4 of her own dogs, she was able to set things up so that our dogs felt comfortable during their 2 night stay. We really enjoyed working with Melissa and her family and they took great care of our babies!”

“Khahn went above and beyond during Leo’s stay. She stayed in constant contact with me, sending pictures and even gave him a bath. She is hands on and very loving with the dogs in her care. We will definitely be back!”

“Merry and Tucker love Cato come to Kayla’s home. They out of the car and head directly for the front door. Merry even had a fury friend for the last visit. They played until exhausted. Great time for our high energy girl. Our old boy was able to get plenty of rest. Kayla always ensures Ricker gets her medication. Both come home happy, and relaxed!! Thank you again Kayla”

“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”

“I knew from our first meeting that Nathan and Jackie were the right choice to take care of my Sophie for the 2 weeks I would be in Japan. And I was right. They sent daily pictures/videos of: Sophie playing with their dogs Reilly and Bailey; the kids walking, holding, and loving on Sophie; and photos of some well-deserved chill time. We had excellent communication for the duration of Sophie’s stay with them. Nathan contacted me about a week into her stay to report an issue that he felt needed reviewed by her vet. I agreed and Nathan made the appointment, then took her for a vet visit. The vet also agreed with Nathan and gave Sophie 2 prescriptions. Nathan paid for the vet visit and meds himself (since I was not available at the time). For the next week, Nathan and Jackie gave Sophie the meds prescribed and reported back to me how she was doing with her medical issue. I am so thankful for Nathan’s keen observation and proactive stance on Sophie’s health. The vet visit and daily meds were more than they signed up for and they just took care of it all. I will definitely be taking Sophie back for future boardings, and may even have to take her for occasional visits so she can play with the dogs and the kids!”

“Melissa was incredible and so easy to communicate with My dog got to play with her lovely puppy! And they both were tiring each other out! The yard was a bonus! Melissa sent updates regularly and kept up with my puppy Keanu Reeves! Will use again! She was amazing!”

“Emily and her family take great care of our doggo. He immediately goes inside her house when we drop him off which means he enjoys his time there. She always send a daily pic and he always looks happy and our dog has a great time with her dogs and cats. Definitely we recommend her!”


“Leslee was easy to work with, keeps a good environment for pups, and was reliable. Our dog Daisy had lots of fun staying with her and bonded with her little family during our vacation! Will definitely book again!”

“My dogs, Franklin and Jack, have a great time at Faith’s home. She does an excellent job providing my dogs the needed attention and fun when I am out of town. I’ll be a repeat customer!”

“Lola and her family did a great job caring for Josie. She was honest, and so sweet and gentle with my furbaby. I appreciate she was flexible with a meet and greet prior to boarding. I highly recommend Lola. Convenient, reasonable and very honest.”

“Rachelle took wonderful care of my anxious dog for a week, sending great photos and videos and treating him like one of hers. Will definitely use her to sit for Blaze again!”
