“Thank you Cynthia for another great weekend of caring for Saint! I have such peace of mind when my dog stays with Cynthia. I do not hesitate to book her when I need dog boarding!”
3. Sky G.
“We had a great experience with Sky. Our dog loved hanging out with her pups and came home happy. She shared pictures and videos on a daily basis, which we really appreciated. Our plans changed and Sky was very flexible in allowing us to adjust drop off and pick up times. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
4. Jannelle T.
“Janelle did an outstanding job watching my cat, Wok! I was on an extended vacation and she continued to send me pics and updates, which was very important since it was Wok's first time with a sitter. I would definitely use her again”
5. Gabriela P.
“Gabriela is the best! She comes highly recommended and we had already used her services for walks. So we jumped at the chance to send our pup to her for a multi-day boarding stay when we were headed out of town. She was amazing; sending us tons of updates, pics, and was very flexible on pickup/drop-off logistics. Most importantly she took such good care of our pup! We will absolutely use Gabriela again and so should you!”
6. Maliyah A.
“Maliyah was amazing! My flight was delayed & she had no problem watching my furbaby the extra day. She’s the only one watching my baby forever !”
7. Chyna M.
“Chyna and her daughters really took care of my dog Cody. When I got to the house, I felt comfortable leaving Cody there. She sent pictures of Cody and her daughters and Cody look like he belong with the family. Cody was loved, loving all the attention. When I go on my next trip, I will make sure I use Ms. Chyna. I was very scared at first to leave Cody because this will be my first time ever using Rover but once I got there, they just made me feel so comfortable leaving Cody there. I’m not a person who likes to tight reviews or type anything but I just had to say this Ms. Chyna.😀😄”

“Rachel could not have been better. Went above and beyond in caring for our 2 year old cat. Plenty of pictures and videos and great communication. Would definitely recommend.”
11. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth is the best! She sent daily updates and photos, it was clear from the messages and when I picked up Nelly that Nelly had a great time and was able to relax in Elizabeth's company. From the meet and greet up to Nelly's stay, Elizabeth was responsive, flexible, and enthusiastic. I second another pup's parent's review that Elizabeth is the pet sitter I want to keep a secret so that Nelly can stay with her whenever we're out of town!”

“Ive already recommended Luciana to a neighbor and would do it again! She took excellent care of my pup, sent pics so that I could see that he was doing well on his first visit with her, and stayed mindful of his allergies and food restrictions. He was sad to leave her when he was picked up, which shows he felt loved and taken care of there. Great sitter!”
