“Charlie had stayed with Anh and her family for 9 nights for the first time. Although he never stayed with non- family member before, I felt at ease and safe leaving Charlie with Anh. She took care as if he was her own. I received daily updates and photos of Charlie, including an overall summary of his time at the end of his boarding. Thank you Anh and your family for taking a good care of Charlie. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“This was my first experience using Rover, and I was extremely impressed with Claudine's services. She took care of Oreo as if he were her own, and Oreo instantly loved her the moment they met. Claudine has such a beautiful, calm energy that immediately put both Oreo and me at ease. She took Oreo on plenty of walks and kept both my daughter and me updated with lots of pictures, which meant so much to us. It was clear that Oreo was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for during his 3 night stay. I am extremely happy with her services and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much, Claudine!”
“Christina's like a dog behaviorist! She was able perfectly calm & attend to Chikko's needs. She updated me woth photos & videos of our Chikko everytime whenever needed. She also treated Chikko as her own. She ensures that your pet has enough walks and knows exactly what your pet needs. Christina is a blessing!”
“Lin and Jing came to our rescue once again! Skylar is getting older and isn't as fond of road trips, especially when they involve camping in a damp tent. We realized we'd neglected to make arrangements for her, so we quickly turned to Rover and searched for Lin and Jing. Luckily, they had an opening for the weekend! It had been a while since Skylar had stayed with them and Tini, but as soon as we pulled into the driveway, she was thrilled. She ran straight for the front door, and I couldn't have been happier to see her so excited for her weekend away. Thank you for making Skylar feel right at home!”
“Carlos & his family were so accommodating and thoughtful in taking care of Seven while we were away. He was extremely responsive, sent updates throughout her stay, was reassuring and had everything under control making our time away so much more enjoyable knowing she was in great hands. They are genuine dog people, with great experience, I would without hesitation recommend them to anyone considering a dog sitter. Thank you Carlos for everything! We will indeed book again.”
“Crackers, stay with Carolina and Francisco was amazing, they took such good care of him and Carolina sent me a photo of him everyday and a little note which we appreciated so much and made us feel at ease and not stressed. He had a great time and I think he misses his friends. We want to say a huge thank you for making us and Cracker feel comfortable and taking good care of him 🥰❤️”
“Premier séjour très réussi considérant que nous avons 2 chiens âgés. Nos chiens sont revenus calmes, reposés et sereins. Nous avons été rassurés pendant le séjour de 3 nuits en recevant des photos à tous les jours de Joni. Les chiens avaient l’air de s’adapter très bien grâce a l’attention qu’il leur est donné. Joni est très conscieuse lorsque nous lui donnons des instructions. Nous pouvons désormais partir l’esprit en paix en sachant que nos chiens auront les bons soins, l’attention et l’affection de Joni et de son conjoint. Merci!”
“Famille bienveillante et chaleureuse pour notre chien. Ils nous ont donné des nouvelles pour nous rassurer. Chiffon a passé un très bon moment avec eux. Nous n'aurions pas pu espérer mieux. Communication facile et rapide avec Vivianne.”
“Rachel took an excellent care of our 1y/o puppy Darcy. She listened to our recommendation and was providing pictures of the stay. Kip and Darcy got a lot of fun together. Thanks Rachel for the good care!”
“Soumaya is not only super friendly, but also a very caring dog sitter. She really took good care of my dog Luna in every aspect, walking, playing, feeding and etc. Her children are fantastic and really love Luna like their own dog. They hug her, cuddle her and spend so much time playing with her. Soumaya also took pictures of Luna throughout the period and sent to us for updates, so that we can rest assured that Luna is in good hands. All in all, Soumaya is an excellent dog sitter; and together with her children, this just becomes a perfect winning team for any pet owners to trust and rely on.”
“I can't say enough good things about Emily and her family! From the moment we communicated, it was clear they genuinely love and understand dogs. My Lola, who can be a bit shy around new people, immediately warmed up to them. Throughout the entire sitting period Emily provided exceptional care, going above and beyond my expectations. Even trimming Lola in areas I was nervous to do for myself. They maintained regular communication, sending me updates and adorable photos of my dog having a great time, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Not only were my dog’s basic needs met, but they also received plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. It's rare to find someone who is both professional and so passionately dedicated to the well-being of pets. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. They truly treated my dog as if they were their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thanks a million ❤️❤️❤️ you definitely have a returning client!!”
“A lot of communication and pictures/videos througout her time with Lina, our dog really felt like home. The second she entered Lina’s house I saw the connection and confidence , thanks again for your help Lina 🥰”
“Corina took amazing care of my pets, Lucy and Holly. She kept me updated with sweet photos and a fun video that made my day. Lucy was clearly happy and Holly was safe and cared for. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend—she’s a gem! 10 stars!!”
“Jenny and Phillip are wonderful, polite and caring people. They took great care of our dog Leo. They took him for walks and made sure he was fed. They also have a friendly dog that played with ours. Highly recommended!”
“Once again Ruth has demonstrated her professional and caring side when it comes to Rover. She was proactive in keeping us updated on how our bichpoo was during while we were away. I appreciate that she is understanding and is great at taking care of pets. I would highly recommend her. Thanks again, Ruth!!”
“Une expérience 200 % positive! 🐾 Nous avons tout de suite vu que notre Yuki était entre de très bonnes mains. Leur professionnalisme, leur expérience et surtout leur façon de faire une intégration progressive et respectueuse des chiens nous ont vraiment impressionnés. Ils ont été disponibles en tout temps, répondaient très rapidement et nous donnaient quotidiennement des nouvelles avec de belles photos. On sent qu’ils aiment vraiment les chiens et qu’ils savent parfaitement comment en prendre soin. Nous les recommandons sans aucune hésitation et nous referons affaire avec eux sans problème! ❤️🐶”
“Thanks Vicky for the staycation of Muffin - she’s had a lovely home and fluffy friends to play with over Christmas!!! Very grateful for your family to have Muff”

About: I've taken care of friends and family's cats for years and have a huge love for all cats! 5 years ago, I was fortunate enough to adopt my soul cat, Archie. He had a medical diagnosis and was given 6 months, but fortunately enough, I got to spend 5 wonderful years with him. He needed daily medication and lots of love and attention, and returned the love right back! The connection I had with him taught me a lot about cats and as a result, have grown a deep love for caring for them. I will treat your pet as if it were my own, making sure they are safe, mentally and physically stimulated and shown all the love! Archie also adored harness walks, so if this a part of your cat's routine, this is something I would be happy to provide them with!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I also have professional experience working with animals, which has made me comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes and needs. I’m attentive, patient and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have availability for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting on select weekdays and weekends. I keep my Rover availability updated so you’ll always be able to see when I’m available to care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog at home, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule and care instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take introductions slowly and can keep pets separated when needed. I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, supervision and care while they’re with me.
About: While I grew up with dogs, I’ve come to really enjoy cats too. I appreciate their independence, curiosity, and the trust they build in their own time. My approach is patient and respectful, making sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.
About: I've grown up with cats and understand their unique personalities and behaviours. Experienced with administering medication, interactive play, feeding routines and providing calm, attentive care that helps cats feel safe, comfortable and taken care of while you're away.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve cared for my two cats for the past nine years and also previously had a dog, so I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs and understand their different needs and personalities. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I take the time to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions rather than assuming every animal needs the same type of care. Whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for cats, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away in the comfort of their own home. I’m also a lifelong cat lover and proud rescue mom to four rescue cats of my own. For the past 15 years, I’ve been actively involved in cat rescue. This includes independently doing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) in my community, socializing feral and fearful cats, working with numerous local rescues, and helping find safe, loving placements for cats in need. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior cats and very shy or fearful cats. I understand that some cats need extra patience and time before they feel comfortable with a new person. I never force interaction. I let each cat set the pace and work to earn their trust. I’m also comfortable administering medications to cats, following your instructions carefully and making sure your cat receives the care they need while you’re away. 🐱 What Your Drop-In Visit Includes During each visit, I will make sure your cat’s needs are completely taken care of, including: ● 🥣 Fresh food and daily feeding according to your cat’s routine ● 💧 Fresh water every day ● 🧹 Daily litter box cleaning ● 💊 Medication administration, when required ● 🧼 Cleaning up after your cat and keeping their area tidy ● ❤️ Attention, affection and companionship, according to your cat’s personality ● 📸 Photos and updates from every visit, so you can see your furry family member is happy and doing well ● 👀 A general check-in on your cat, making sure they appear comfortable and that everything is as it should be Whether your cat is affectionate and social, independent, elderly, nervous, or hiding under the bed, I have experience meeting them where they are. After more than two decades of caring for cats — and 15 years of helping cats who needed someone to advocate for them — I know how important it is to leave your beloved pet with someone you can trust. You can go away knowing your cat is receiving experienced, compassionate and personalized care in the comfort of their own home. 🐾❤️
About: Hi there! We’re Mackenzie and Sami and we adore animals! 🐶 Mackenzie’s experience: I love all animals!! I’ve basically been surrounding by them since I was born! From taking care of chickens and bunnies, to walking three dogs, to loving two birds and one rescue cat, I’ve almost done it all! For the past two years at home, I’ve had three big dogs and two birds all at once, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! I also know how to respect a scared animals space. I’ve dealt with both a cat(Sami’s cat) and a dog(my own dog) who need much more space than others. 🐱 Sami’s experience: I have a very similar experience to Mackenzie’s! This is mostly because I’ve been living part-time at her house for nearly a year, so I care for the wonderful zoo of three dogs and two birds as well. And the scaredy cat she mentioned is mine! He is quite jumpy, but I give him the most space possibly and give him attention when he wants it so that it is on his terms! 📚— We are both 18 year-old cegep students studying sciences at John Abbott college! We are very dedicated students who are both on the Dean’s List. We are in school five days a week, but have gaps in our schedules and finish before 3 on many days, making time for your pets to be adored! We are free on weekends to house sit and dog walk, and can house sit (long term or short term) if the house is close enough to John Abbott! We could also dog walk during out breaks or after school on weekdays. In your home, we would be very respectful, following all rules put in place. Although we are a young couple, we don’t lack responsibility! Your pets would also be treated with the utmost respect and gentleness, as that is what all animals deserve.
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers with two dogs of our own. We have plenty of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels.

We understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so we follow each owner’s routine and instructions closely and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime and care. Matt and I are both home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention and supervision. We love having dogs as part of our daily routine and can easily accommodate regular walks, outdoor breaks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. Since we’re home, we can also closely follow your dog’s usual feeding, exercise and rest schedule to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. With both of us home throughout the day, dogs receive lots of attention and supervision and are rarely left alone. We carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep dogs securely leashed outside. We take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine and needs so they can settle in and feel safe, relaxed and loved in our home.
About: I have two dogs, I have taken care of them for 5 years, I have taken my family's pets for walks and to parks. I also had a cat and I know how to take care of them I work full time in the week until 4 pm, after that I'm free. I'm also free the weekends. I can't have pets at my place but I would be able to be at their home. I could take them for walkings, also I could feed them and staying with them if they will be alone, giving them treats and playing with them.

“Jess and Erik took amazing care of my cat and snake while I was away. They made sure to ask good questions before I left to ensure they had all of the information they'd need to care for them, which was really appreciated. They also sent plenty of photos to keep me updated on their visits, and I was so happy to see my animals looking so comfortable and cared for with them. Jess and Erik are very kind people that truly care about animals. I would highly recommend them! Thank you both again for everything!!”
“Olivia is a great person to have in company with my puppy. She is always on time and will give me updates of how it went. She is very responsive and reliable. Thank you Olivia for your great service!”
“Iulia is clearly very capable with dogs. I hired her because I want Cocoa to stay calm when greeting visitors. Iulia knew exactly how to stand and how to respond to Cocoa. I will definitely call on her again.”
“I had an amazing experience boarding my cat with Ekaterina! Her home is incredibly cat-friendly. From cozy spots to explore to plenty of space to feel comfortable. Ekaterina and her family were wonderfully sweet, patient, and welcoming, treating my cat like one of their own. I also loved the daily updates, complete with fun and witty commentary that always made me smile. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat-boarding experience. Highly recommended!”

“Thank you Anh and Quang. My dog had a great day at their place. They took my dog out on a walk and she had lots of play time and rested too.

“Rex is my baby and I’m always nervous having to leave him as we both have separation anxiety and I want to make sure my baby is always happy. Graeme and Vicky were so lovely and reassuring … and it seems like Rex very much enjoyed himself and tried to feel at home 😊. Thank you both again for looking after my fur baby and taking care of him. I would definitely book again.”
“Ruth was lovely! She was quick to respond to messages, flexible with our very late drop off time 🤪, and so kind towards our anxious little dachshund, Holly. Thanks, Ruth! Will definitely reach out next time we need someone to care for our dog when we’re in Montreal.”
“We needed daycare services on short notice and Pasqualina was available. Our Samoyed had a nice time, she was very welcoming and had a nice big yard for him to explore. We would happily use her services again!”
“Maki was wonderful - our Lily was right at home (so much so she didn’t rush to leave when picked up). Great communication, transparency and updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend!!”
“We are more than pleased with Rani taking care of Yogi. She’s very welcoming and an expert with dogs. Yogi felt comfortable right away. That’s a big achievement for Yogi who sometimes can be a little anxious. He also ate when his bowl was filled which means he felt comfortable. He loved playing in the backyard and Rani sent us pictures and texts for updates. We and Yogi are happy we found Rani and looking forward to his next play day 🐾”

“Shireen is absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive to messages and questions and was more than accommodating to my needs when I was booking doggy daycare for my puppy.

About: Hello. I was a registered Vet Tech for 10years. So, I am able to administrator medications via mouth or injections if required during your pets stay. I had owned cats, dogs, rats, hamsters, etc. I love animals and can't imagine not having them in my life. I work full time from home. So pet care is easy. Especially with a fully fenced back yard. As mentioned, being previously a registered Vet Tech I can do care that most people cannot. I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog who has lived with cats his whole life, but do not have any cats at present.

About: I grew up with animals in the home and I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience! I also have the energy levels to keep up with even the highest energy dogs. Aside from a few hours during the week, I work from home. I can adjust my schedule for the most part to ensure every pets needs are met. I live in an apartment with plenty of nearby parks to take them to play. My building is very safe when it comes to other animals being well behaved. I also don't take on multiple pets so your pet will receive all the attention it needs. When I'm pet sitting in your home I like to follow a similar routine to what your pet is used to. In terms of eating, playtime, going to the bathroom etc. That way while you're away they feel more comfortable and safe.

I’ll also keep you updated throughout my visits so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of animals every since I was very young. I have always had cats present in my home. I have been walking dogs every since I was 10. It was always the highlight of my day. I love taking care of dogs, and have been pet sitting friends dogs for years now. Very well experienced pet sitter and dog walker. I currently work a hybride full time-job. I have a lot of flexibility and can take them on a walk or care for them at any time of the day. I have a fenced yard, and currently have a very friendly cat living at my home. I love spending time with pets, playing with them or taking them on walks
About: Malheureusement je ne peux pas avoir de chiens à la maison, mais j'aime bien les chiens qui ont besoin de bouger. Les chiens qui aiment les grandes marches et qui aiment jouer ne s'ennuieront pas avec moi et seront probablement épuisés avant moi! À l'adolescence, je m'occupais à l'occassion des chiens de 1-2 voisins lorsqu'ils partaient en vacances. Je travaille de la maison 3 jours par semaine, cela peut donc donner plus de flexibilité lors de ces journées. Autre j'essaie de réserver mes week-ends à la famille, donc habituellement moins de disponibilités ces jours-là. J'ai un chat à la maison, qui ne sort dans ma cour cloturée que sous supervision (il est trop peureux de toute façon pour sortir seul).
About: **Loving Care, Tailored for Every Paw 🐾** With years of experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, I treat every furry friend like my own. My own dog is 13 years old and blind, so I truly understand the importance of patience, attention, and gentle care. I’m experienced in giving medications on time, offering comfort — even letting pets sleep in my bed if needed — and making sure they get the walks and exercise they need. Your pet’s happiness, health, and well-being are always my top priorities! **A Flexible, Pet-Friendly Schedule 🐾** I work part-time from home, which means I’m almost always around to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate their needs — whether it’s timely meals, medication, regular walks, or just some extra cuddles. Your pet will never feel alone, and I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. I care for pets exclusively in my home, which is a calm, cozy, and super clean, minimal space — giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I follow their routines closely, give medications on time, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. Since I work part-time from home, pets are never left alone for long. They’ll always have company, care, and a peaceful environment where they’re treated like family every step of the way.
About: My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers with two dogs of our own. We have plenty of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. We provide a safe, loving and comfortable home where dogs are treated like part of our family. We understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so we follow each owner’s routine and instructions closely and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime and care. Matt and I are both home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention and supervision. We love having dogs as part of our daily routine and can easily accommodate regular walks, outdoor breaks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. Since we’re home, we can also closely follow your dog’s usual feeding, exercise and rest schedule to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. With both of us home throughout the day, dogs receive lots of attention and supervision and are rarely left alone. We carefully follow each owner’s instructions and keep dogs securely leashed outside. We take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine and needs so they can settle in and feel safe, relaxed and loved in our home.
About: To say, I have a mad love affair with dogs is the start of an award-winning poem I've only ever imagined. Dogs will always be puppies no different than my 25-year-old nephews who remain my babies. I trained my cairn/tibetan cross off-leash, paraded hallways with her doing pet-therapy, traveled across oceans with her, explored raw diets with her, and taught myself holistic alternatives to relieving canine discomforts like itchy skin, poor appetite, UTI, kennel cough, anxiety, liver issues No matter my expertise, your dog is your dog. If you say no table scraps, your dog gets none. If puppy needs to eat at 4, they're eating then. And, if the dawg is ever uncomfortable, you'll know ASAP and you'll advise our next steps. I work from home, most often. Walking & caring for K9s is absolutely a part of my routine. I'm very much into holistic doggie care, agility & behavior training, pet nutrition. Host of a 360 dog wellness podcast THISisDog! I clip toe nails, bathe doggies, groom them, train them to respond to basic commands, including recall They are loved indoors and out. Their paws are wiped, bellies are fed, ears are rubbed, eyes are cleaned. They are walked and chased in our yard, at dog runs. And, finally, to lessen the separation anxiety and increase the fun quotient on this vacation (they may not yet be aware of!), I'd love you to bring -your dog's favorite bed or blanket they call home, - food & water bowls, - a paw cloth for those muddy hikes, - favorite 'you deserve this" treat, and of course, - their food & meds
About: Hello! I'm probably one of the biggest dog lovers out there! My eyes light up when I see them! I've grown up having family dogs of all sizes from pomeranians to great danes. I've volunteered in dog rescue centers in Thailand, been a babysitter to countless pets around the world and have worked at a doggy daycares in Vancouver. I've been a dog walker, taking up to 7 dogs on hikes. I love learning about dog behaviour and getting better at dog training. I have two dogs of my own, Belle and Ivy. We adopted Belle as a small sick puppy, she's now full of life and the love of my life. We rescued Ivy from a very hard life in Arizona, she's a shy girl but she has come such a long way in our family. Can't wait to meet your furry family members! If i work out of the house, it's only for a few hours at a time. The majority of the time, my husband or I are home. We hate leaving our pups alone for too long. I love walking, so daily walks are always provided, rain or shine. And we make time for cuddles and play time no matter what. Dogs are treated like kings and queens at our house. It's more their house and we just happen to live here to serve them. I know every dog has different needs, and I am always respectful of their boundaries. If they wants cuddles, it's exactly what they'll get. If they prefer to he left alone, that is fine also!
About: I have a soothing and calming energy that dogs feel right away. I enjoy seeing dogs get their exercise and brings me joy to see them being happy. I am currently available during business hours, however I can be flexible as long I have 1-2 days notice to accommodate your request. Weekends can vary. I am currently provding dog walking and dog sitting at your home. Feel free to reach out to me for a meet and greet and for any questions.

“Charlie had stayed with Anh and her family for 9 nights for the first time. Although he never stayed with non- family member before, I felt at ease and safe leaving Charlie with Anh. She took care as if he was her own. I received daily updates and photos of Charlie, including an overall summary of his time at the end of his boarding. Thank you Anh and your family for taking a good care of Charlie. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Lin and Jing came to our rescue once again! Skylar is getting older and isn't as fond of road trips, especially when they involve camping in a damp tent. We realized we'd neglected to make arrangements for her, so we quickly turned to Rover and searched for Lin and Jing. Luckily, they had an opening for the weekend! It had been a while since Skylar had stayed with them and Tini, but as soon as we pulled into the driveway, she was thrilled. She ran straight for the front door, and I couldn't have been happier to see her so excited for her weekend away. Thank you for making Skylar feel right at home!”
“Carlos & his family were so accommodating and thoughtful in taking care of Seven while we were away. He was extremely responsive, sent updates throughout her stay, was reassuring and had everything under control making our time away so much more enjoyable knowing she was in great hands. They are genuine dog people, with great experience, I would without hesitation recommend them to anyone considering a dog sitter. Thank you Carlos for everything! We will indeed book again.”

“Soumaya is not only super friendly, but also a very caring dog sitter. She really took good care of my dog Luna in every aspect, walking, playing, feeding and etc. Her children are fantastic and really love Luna like their own dog. They hug her, cuddle her and spend so much time playing with her. Soumaya also took pictures of Luna throughout the period and sent to us for updates, so that we can rest assured that Luna is in good hands. All in all, Soumaya is an excellent dog sitter; and together with her children, this just becomes a perfect winning team for any pet owners to trust and rely on.”

“Une expérience 200 % positive! 🐾 Nous avons tout de suite vu que notre Yuki était entre de très bonnes mains. Leur professionnalisme, leur expérience et surtout leur façon de faire une intégration progressive et respectueuse des chiens nous ont vraiment impressionnés.

On sent qu’ils aiment vraiment les chiens et qu’ils savent parfaitement comment en prendre soin. Nous les recommandons sans aucune hésitation et nous referons affaire avec eux sans problème! ❤️🐶”

“Graeme and Vicky took wonderful care of our goldendoodle for a week while we vacationed. They were extremely accommodating, agreeing to several day visits in the months leading up the vacation so that our dog would know them. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos that reassured us that he was happy and well cared for. We would give more stars if we could!”
“Very happy with our stay, Patricia is a very good host. We left Coco for 7 nights and all was great. Patrica took care of him with his medication and the fussy eating.
