Top rated Carthage dog boarders

“Jared was great! Amazing communication, constantly kept me updated on my dog throughout the day with photos and videos. My dog absolutely loved boarding with him and his pups. Would recommend. You can tell he truly cares about animals and will treat yours just like his own.”



“Thank you for taking care of Ginger. I was nervous since this was my first time to leave her. Karen did a brief meet and greet meeting before the boarding to make sure I could ask questions and both Ginger and I felt comfortable. Karen seemed very observant of Ginger and bonded with her quickly. I could tell Ginger also felt comfortable around her and at her house. Thank you.”


“Jenna was very communicative and our bulldog loved staying with her. Her house is a beautiful setup for any furry friend. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Jenna. Thank you again!!!”


“Kim was fantastic with our pup, Spartacus. He is a nervous guy and we rarely have anyone outside family watch him. Kim sent us several updates during the day, she took him on a couple walks, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. We will definitely contact Kim again!”


“Misty was quick to respond with the initial setup. While she had our dog, she would send daily updates and pictures. Pick up and drop off was easy. Most importantly, our pet was happy!”


“Taylor and Brian were phenomenal in helping to take care of our miniature schnauzer, Hugo! Their candid pictures and check-ins made us feel like we were not far from Hugo; although we were several states away. I can’t thank them enough for giving us piece of mind! We will definitely board with them again!”


“Scotty is an awesome, super caring and attentive care provider. Our retired racer greyhound, Scout, seemed to not want to leave, she had been pampered so much. Scotty sent regular and daily photos of Scout and the stay happenings, which we loved as we felt as though we did not really leave our beloved family dog. Scotty’s Rover onboarding process and experience was fantastic in terms of the right questions and details asked proactively and upfront. All of our requested details and instructions were met and beyond! We felt as though the value for our money was far exceeded when comparing with a local large dog park resort. We’ll use Scotty again and will definitely pass on the good word. Thanks, again!”


“Kenny took wonderful care of our pup over the weekend. She was well taken care of and got tons of attention, and he followed her routines closely. They had so much fun together even in rainy weather.”



“Zeus had a great stay with Stacy and her pooches! We got lots of great pictures of him having fun and going on walks and when we picked him up he was one tired and happy pup!”



“Teah was great. We had our puppy stay with her, which can be a bother. She and her husband taught him how to fetch and sent us videos and pics. I would highly recommend Teah for your sitting needs. We will use her again and again given her availability.”


“Dion did a great job taking care of my dog Fern. She was in great spirits when we picked her up. He sent lots of photos to update me and was very accommodating. Would absolutely book with him again.”


“Natalie obviously took great care of Rafa. She has a couple of dachshunds who played with Rafa. Rafa was happy to come home but he had a good week.”


“Sandy was a great sitter for Luna! Luna is an energetic pup and enjoyed having other dogs to play with. This was my first time leaving Luna with someone other than family so I was nervous at first. Sandy sent frequent updates and photos putting my mind at ease. She was also more than accommodating when we arrived back in town later than expected to pick Luna up. Sandy is a bit out of the way from my house but that won’t stop me from using her in the future!”


“This is Peanuts 2nd time staying with Carrie. He is so happy here and luvs her boys. He even made friends with their cat. I have no worries or anxiety when peanut is in her care, he is loved and well taken care of. See you soon Carrie and thank you. 😊”


“Courteous, competent, really helped in a pickle with our challenging puppy. Words can't express how much I appreciate his care for dog. He sent us pictures of how happy she was while we were gone and she very clearly missed him when she got back home. I would definitely ask him to host her again in the future if needed.”


“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”


“So happy with how my boys were taken care of! I received pics & videos.”


“I can't recommend Amy & Derek highly enough. My dog Terry is nearly 14 years old, set in his grouchy ways, and not exactly a fan of other living creatures. Despite all that, Amy and Derek handled him with incredible patience, empathy, and dedication. They took the time to understand Terry’s quirks, moved at his pace, and truly went the extra mile to help him feel safe and comfortable. They didn’t just “watch” Terry—they connected with him. It was clear they cared about his well-being as much as I do. I was blown away by the updates, the attention to detail, and the compassion they showed. Terry doesn’t warm up to people easily, but by the end of their time together, I really think he made two new friends. If you’re looking for sitters who will treat your pet with kindness, respect, and a whole lot of heart look no further than Amy & Derek.”
