“Arlene and Kevin were fantastic hosts! If my pup could write a review he would give them 5 stars and slobbery kisses. This was our first time leaving him with absolute strangers and from the moment we dropped off we k ew he was in great hands. They were attentive and caring and made Oliver feel right at home. He sure was disappointed to leave! We will absolutely be booking with Arlene and Kevin again!”
“Ginny thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Erin and Chad. She was treated like there own. I got daily feedback I didn't have to request it. Erin and Chad are lovely people and true animal lovers. I will be leaving Ginny with them again in the future.I would recommend them to everyone”
“Camila was awesome with Milo ? she was very caring and also sent us lots of videos and photos of milo while we were away . Milo was just 3 months old and so we were a little skeptical at first . But trust me , camila is the best and milo enjoyed his stay . Her kids were also very good with him and played with him. Thank you Camila ! Definitely recommend her for dog sitting”
“Lindsay was so great with Joey! I got lots of updates and pictures, I felt very at ease leaving him in her care. Would highly recommend and would love to leave Joey with her again in the future!”
“Melissa is amazing! Our pups settled quickly and got along well with her, partner, Peter and dog, Marty! Melissa was a great communicator and sent lots of pics. Highly recommend! Caleb & Karie”
“Nicolette was great with my 15 month old Portuguese Water Dog. He's a good size active breed so finding someone willing to board him in their home is a bit rare. She was thorough and kind and asked very good questions to get to know us. Kingston had a chance to run around in her backyard prior to the boarding which really helped him get comfortable. My boy doesn't love being alone and is very much a velcro dog. Nicolette provided pictures and updates and when I picked him up he was happy as could be. Thanks Nicolette!”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with Bruno! 🥹❤️ I was really nervous leaving him because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated throughout the night. Bruno settled in so well with her! It was such a relief knowing he was safe, comfortable and being taken care of while I was at work. I would definitely recommend Alyssa to anyone and would absolutely have her watch Bruno again!”
“Luxie stayed with Lydia and Darryl for 6 days, and had a great experience. They were a wonderful couple, and their dog Buddy got along fantastic with Luxie. The communication was excellent, and I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend them again!”
“Annette literally welcomed Shadow with open arms from the second they met and it just got better from there! Annette was so accommodating with Shadow and kept us informed with daily updates, which were so reassuring. We will definitely be using Annette again and would happily recommend her to anyone.”
“Ellie was amazing with my Great Dane mix, Alix. She was caring and loving. She is very accommodating and flexible. I appreciated the boarding and walks! Alix did too! Alix loves Ellie! I would recommend Ellie to any pet owner!”
“Roscoe had the BEST TIME EVER with Matthew and his roommates. Matthew is clearly a dog lover. He took Roscoe on lots of walks and did a great job looking after him. With such a full house, Roscoe got lots of the attention he craves. Matthew sent lots of updates and photos, so I never had to worry about what was going on with Roscoe. He also responded to messages promptly, which I really appreciate. Thanks to everyone in the house for taking such good care of Roscoe!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our Rosie. She provided regular updates and pictures. She was attentive to Rosie and even pointed out that one of her ears was starting to look red and offered to take her to our vet. Rosie did will with Finn also (I'm sure he will be missing his annoying little dog-sister!) I cannot recommend Jen enough. I am so glad we found you and will be requesting your services whenever we go away!”
“We were planning a trip and knew it would be more difficult to do some of the things on our list with our dog present. So last minute, I googled to try to find a kennel in the area. I've owned dogs my entire life and have never left them somewhere else, so wanted to see what was being offered. I came across Rover and leaving her with a family instead of a kennel sounded so much better; I didn't even know this existed! Valerie got back to me promptly, confirming her availability to watch our Indie. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming, and we knew Indie would enjoy her stay. We were provided with updates, and they really enjoyed having her there. I highly recommend Valerie to care for your pup; our girl came back happy and healthy, and should we ever need someone to watch her again, we will be making Valerie our first choice !”

She was communicative throughout Yohji’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. She also took him on a hike, and her large backyard was a big plus because he loved running around and playing. I really appreciated the updates and the effort she put into making his stay enjoyable.
Shelley was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We got frequent updates and pictures and she was very communicative about how they were doing. She was also really flexible and was able to keep the dogs for an extra day when our plans changed, which we were very grateful for. We would absolutely recommend Shelley and have her watch the dogs again!
Alyssa was absolutely amazing with Bruno! 🥹❤️ I was really nervous leaving him because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated throughout the night. Bruno settled in so well with her! It was such a relief knowing he was safe, comfortable and being taken care of while I was at work. I would definitely recommend Alyssa to anyone and would absolutely have her watch Bruno again!
Thank you so much Shannon and Dave! To be able to travel and not worry about our Jax and his care is priceless! The photos snd messages showing how happy he was while he was in he stayed with Shannon and Dave was so reassuring!!! Thank you both for taking such good care our little boy!!! Rod & Michelle.
We really appreciated Uchenna’s willingness to keep our dog when he became sick during his stay, especially while we were away for our son’s wedding. She made sure he was cared for and boarded him despite him not feeling well. We’re grateful she was able to look after him during a stressful situation.
- I cannot recommend Jenn enough! - Jenn cared for our sensitive German Shorthaired Pointer who is often anxious around new people and can be difficult to read; and our pup felt so comfortable and happy with her! - Jenn did a meet and greet with us prior to the booking, and you can tell she has a deep knowledge of dog behaviour and that was really reassuring for us - Jenn sent pictures and updates throughout the duration of Dallas' overnight stay, and he looked happy and at home in each one! - Her home has dog toys and is welcoming for pups of all types :) - we didn't worry at all while Dallas was away ; and will be returning to Jenn in the future!
Alicia took excellent care of my 18 year old dog! He requires some special care due to his poor eyesight and other age related issues, and Alicia was more than happy to accommodate all of his needs. She also sent updates and pictures during his stay there. I would highly recommend!
