1. Vanessa G.
“Vanessa took such great care of our golden doodle and was extremely communicative! Already looking forward to having our dog stay with her again!”
2. Kerry W.
“Kerry was a dream! My boy is sweet and very much a "people" dog. He was attacked before the rescue folks picked him up, so he's a bit reactive if he feels unsafe. Kerry was kind, attentive, and sweet on my boy. We will 100% use her services again. I cannot recommend her enough.”
3. Nicollette J.
“Nicollette was amazing caring for my dog! She kept me well informed and was flexible on timing. Would definitely recommend her for your fur baby’s needs!! :)”
4. Shane J.
“Dolce had a wonderful 3 week boarding experience with Shane and his family! I received daily updates with photos and felt 100% certain he was not only in great hands, but also having a blast. Thanks Shane!”
5. Kim M.
“Kim is simply the very best, loving, knowledgeable, and attentive. She gave Kazu a loving home and so much love. We adore all the photos and videos she sent, as well as daily updates. Kim knows how to take care of big dogs, and is a true dog lover. As a plus, she works from home! There are parks near her house, and she takes Kazu on daily long walks. Thank you, dear Kim, for everything!”
6. Lauren S.
“Lauren was so great with Milo. Sent many pictures, was easy to communicate with, easy drop off and pickup. Will absolutely be reaching out to her again to watch Milo in the future.”
7. Katie T.
“Katie and her pup, Henri, were amazing! Always responsive with tons of pictures and videos. Mayia is very expressive and shows when she's comfortable or unhappy. It was obvious that she was very at-home with Katie and Henri. Almost too "at-home", we were worried that she wouldn't want to come back home with us!”
8. Anna S.
“Our pups just home from their first stay with Anna (and her 2 pups). They were very-well taken care of! We thought at first it was too far from Alexandria as we had to cross the Wilson bridge. But it was a breeze - took us less than 15 minutes to get there (non-rush). Anna is a very loving, kind dog Mom and went out of her way to make sure she accommodated all of our preferences, etc. They had a blast enjoying her huge yard (sidenote: we just have a condo with a terrace) and running with her 2 dogs. She provided videos/photos throughout and was EXTREMELY responsive to texts. We look forward to a repeat visit - and so do our dogs!”
9. Michael B.
“Michael was so great with E, I will absolutely book with them again. They sent update pictures and videos without having to ask, were super flexible with my dates that changed mid trip, and E had such a fun time playing with the sprinkler in the yard and making new doggy friends. Thank you!!”
10. Geoffrey B.
“Geoff was so awesome! He took wonderful care of Mike and sent thoughtful daily updates. I had full peace of mind knowing mike was in good hands while I was away. Mike loved hanging with Lizzie. Couldn’t recommend them enough!”
11. Kelly R.
“Kelly is amazing! She is very kind and attentive. I feel really good about boarding my dog with her, as she is so knowledgeable and caring. Big thanks to Kelly!”
12. Nelitza M.
“Nelitza treated my two boys like her own! Im so glad I found her last minute as my international trip got extended, so it was quite stressful that nothing was going as planned. However, Neliztza made everything so easy and smooth for me, I was so thankful for her! 🩷 I kept having to extend the drop off time and she was able to still take care of my boys, im so appreciative of her! On top of that, she sent me update pictures of my boys very constantly! We ran out of the dog food, and she was able to pickup some food for my boys too! I would definitely use her again in the near future!!”
13. David G.
“David was amazing - super flexible, very communicative with daily updates and photos, and he and his family took amazing care of our pup, Finn! So reassuring to know that Finn was in good hands while we were out of town.”
14. Journey D.
“Our pups had a great stay with lots of long walks and relaxing times! Drop off and pick up were very easy and Journey was very helpful and flexible when we were coordinating. Would love to have them stay again!”
15. Simon H.
“Maisie was in great hands while we were away. We were almost afraid she wouldn't want to come home, she was having so much fun. Simon took great care of her and we received updates while we were on the road. We highly recommend him.”
16. Christine J.
“Gus had a great time with Christine and her family and we felt safe knowing he was with them! He was very loved while we were away. We will call on her again!”
17. Angelito V.
“Enough can't be said. I have never seen my dog so sad to leave someone's home. He sent pictures and videos that the family and friends loved. Quite honestly the best Rover, I have ever experienced.”
18. Claudia M.
“Grateful to Claudia for taking care of Maia this weekend. She sent photos and was quick to respond. Maia had a wonderful time and she came home exhausted. Thank you!!!”
19. Chynna P.
“My dog had a great time with Chynna and Sage. He even seemed a bit sad when he got home after his ‘vacation’. Chynna is very responsive and sent pics and video of Kobe’s stay. We will DEFINITELY utilize Chynna for all of our future travels!! We HIGHLY recommend her. You won’t be disappointed.”
20. Fnu & Eric S.
“Surina was fantastic with our pup Gracie! She met us previously at a dog park so we could ensure Gracie would be a good fit with their home and pups, and was super responsive during the whole process. I would highly recommend Surina to anyone.”
