“Angel is wonderful and I would definitely recommend her! She provided half a day of care for our fur baby while we were at the Ark Encounter. It was a last moment request for our spur of the moment plans — she responded quickly and professionally. She was available and willing even though it was for the next day/Saturday morning. Being within a 30 minute drive from The Ark Encounter was a huge bonus for us. We arrived with our 6 lb., 6 year old Yorkie and she showed immediate comfort being around Angel and her young child. We asked that children not have unsupervised time alone with our fur baby as she is small, delicate and can express anxiety — Angel assured us she would be careful, give our pup her own bedroom with the door closed for quiet time, and take her for walks herself. She checked in with us during the stay, and when we arrived to pick up, our fur baby was calm, not expressing any anxiety and was well cared for (we do raw feeding and Angel had no issue keeping the container of food nuggets refrigerated and feeding at the correct time). Angel was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. I would highly recommend her. 5 +stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Brendan was great - perfect fit for Crosley. Very communicative and I knew him and his kids cared for Crosley while we were gone! 100% recommend and will use him in the future”
“Jared was great! Amazing communication, constantly kept me updated on my dog throughout the day with photos and videos. My dog absolutely loved boarding with him and his pups. Would recommend. You can tell he truly cares about animals and will treat yours just like his own.”
“Jane is wonderful with Oliver, our 4 year old labradoodle. She treats him like her own dog. She’s very loving and patient. She is easy to work with and always eager to please. Oliver is very relaxed and happy when we pick him up, unlike when we pick him up from a noisy kennel. We will be using her again and again.”
“Omg! I don’t know where to start… Karen was amazing from the start of us booking her. Quick response and met with us ASAP. She always responded to my questions and wanted to really know about Mylo. My Mylo don’t do well with others besides a few. I had this feeling he would be great with her because of her first impressions and conversation. He will be back and we found a new sitter and family member for him. I highly recommend her. She is amazing!!!!! ?”
“Their family was wonderful and very caring for my dog Tundra! I give them an excellent rating, their home was inviting & loving towards my dog. They sent photos & kept me up to date. Thank you to them for their hospitality!”
“Second time using Misty as a sitter. Hudson ran right inside when we dropped her off. She had a good time and came home worn out. Misty was able to accommodate my change in schedule as well. Will definitely use her again.”
“The best part about leaving our dogs with Gabe is they are so happy to leap out of the car and run up to him! They are obviously very comfortable there. Thanks again Gabe for a worry free trip. We very much appreciate the work you do for us. You are a blessing!”
“Michael and Anne are fantastic! They really care about your pet and are great with our high energy pup. This is our second time boarding with them and we will definitely use them again!”
“Lisa was great and I’m pretty sure my dog was bummed to come home. He lived his best life while there. He got snuggles, love and even took over their dogs bed. Lisa was diligent on communication and sending me pictures with updates. She welcomed me to visit before I booked. She has a fenced in yard where my dog could go out the doggie door when he needed. She gladly gave him his eye drops. Bowser will be back for sure! Thank you so much.”
“Michelle kept me in the loop. I was anxious about being a first time rover user and she sent me updates with pictures to relieve my anxiety. Would definitely use her again.”
“Boba seemed to have a lot of fun! I appreciate the updates and for spending time with my pup while I was away. I will definitely be using Natalie in the future again!”
“Christina was AMAZING with Boots! He seemed happier than ever under her care and had so many wonderful new friends to play with. She sent a ton cute pictures and updates, and if we weren’t moving soon I would absolutely ask for her help every single time!”
“Bethany and her family were amazing! We got pictures daily and it looked like our dogs had an amazing time! Bethany exceeded my expectations making sure my girls were happy and having fun! She gave us regular updates and even made sure they were clean for pickup after playing in the doggy pool! We will definitely be using Bethany again!”
“Theo's stay with Ann was as good as can be. This was Theo's first time spending time with a person he did not know. We did a meet and greet with Ann prior to boarding Theo and our meeting went well. The day we left Theo with Ann after we left she texted us about 10-15 minutes saying Theo was alrady on her lap. We recieved a text the next day with a picture of Theo laying on a cuddly blanket and stating he had slept all thrrough the night and was a very good boy. We will definately utilize again in the future.”
“Mary was the perfect companion while we were at a family reunion in Oct. She shared updates and photos too and shared a little snippet of Codas days! Sure appreciate all the care Mary gave.”
