“rochelle was the perfect fit for my dog, maddie! she is very kind, accomodating and professional. maddie enjoyed her fenced in yard and her lovely home. i would highly recommned rochelle!”

“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”

“Sara was amazing with our golden retriever while away on our vacation. I was definitely skeptical of Rover in general at first. Just nervous about leaving a member of the family with someone we didn’t know but we read many reviews and felt she would be a good fit. We were thrilled with her service and care for Koa. She was quick to respond always and updated us on how he was doing throughout the trip with pictures. We joked and said Koa looked like he had the best time of all always snuggling on couches or running in their fenced in yard. Already hoping to rebook.”

“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“Kate did a wonderful job with my very energetic, busy 6 month old puppy Teddy. The house is spacious and extremely dog friendly. I know Teddy loved the large fenced back yard. Kate manages other dogs at her home as well as her own with ease. Teddy enjoyed playing with the other dogs. We will definitely continue to book with Kate.”


“I recently boarded my babe with Ellen & her son John, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They were incredibly friendly and were even fine w/ a Meet & Greet prior to Zoë’s stay. The facility seemed clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space for playtime and socializing. I appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent me, which reassured me that my dog was having a great time. I highly recommend John and Ellen for anyone looking for quality care for their fur baby!”

“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”

“This was the second time Sir Sparklepuff stayed with Kim, and he seems to adore spending time with her. Kim returned him not only happy and well-cared for, it freshly bathed and brushed, too! We will be sure he stays with her again soon.”

“Our first time taking a trip without our beloved Rocky. We could not have left him in better hands. The daily updates were great, and he seemed to have a great time. I highly recommend Xiting and would use her services again if she is available.”

“My Henry LOVED her time with Sara (& Frank)! She misses them so much, the drive back to San Antonio was filled with ennui and long sighs on her behalf. I anticipate requesting their services every time we're in their neck of the woods. Sara knows how to manage and love other people's pets as if they were her own, and Henry feels so much better after her vacation.”


“Our sweet, shy and cuddly pup had a great stay with Crystal and her family! We could see from the updates she sent us that she was happy and having fun, and knowing she was safe and being loved made the separation easier. You can see easily that Crystal treats her charges as if they were her own when they are in her care. Thanks, and we will definitely utilize her again in the future.”

“Lesley was amazing as always! I swear she is a dog whisperer. My little Yorkie (who can admittedly be a handful AND seems to hate everyone) adores her. I couldn’t be happier with her service and am grateful to have found her.”

“First boarding with Jeffery and wont be the last. It's quickly evident that he has experience and knowledge with a variety of animals - not just dogs. He was more than accomodating with my large GSD, not at all concerned about his 110lb mass moving throughout the house. Updates? Plenty! I am a reluctant boarder and Jeffery sent me pictures, videos, messages just to let me know Diesel was adjusting - and having a great time! His flexibilty with pick up and drop off made a world of difference with this trip (again thanks Jeffery!) And if all of this was not enough, he tucked a report card in Diesel's bag detailing how he ate, slept, played and in general adapted. I have finally found a place I can leave my pet and know they are being cared for. Check him out!”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”


“David was everything we could ask for in a sitter, from initial contact all the way through to pick-up. We especially appreciate how communicative he was, quickly responding to our initial request, arranging a meet-and-greet, and then providing steady updates throughout Teddy's (9yo Pomeranian) stay. Upon meeting, David gave us the confidence that our small dog's safety and comfort was a priority, patiently listening to our lengthy and exhaustive introduction while Teddy made himself right at home. When we returned, Teddy settled right in and all of the pictures and videos during his stay were of a happy, contented creature in excellent hands. We look forward to future visits, and think Teddy will be just as glad to return!”

“Carol is wonderful!!Excellent care for our minature schnauzer . We received a picture with a note everyday . We called to check if she had any questions and she was very receptive and kind. Very safe clean environment . Beautiful back yard for walks . Carol is very knowledgeable about dogs!! Highly recommend !!”
