“Our dog's stay with Julia was his first experience being boarded. We're so happy she was available and agreed to have him stay with her! She welcomed us warmly and allowed him time to relax before we left. She kept in touch every day and sent pictures that reassured us he was doing well! She administered his medication and took great care of him. He definitely had an excellent time and we highly recommend Julia to provide a safe and happy boarding experience!”


“Danika is simply the best of the best. My dog, Meadow was so loved and cared for while I was gone giving me so much peace (and a little less guilt for leaving). Meadow is even homesick from leaving her! Thank you Danika!”


“Our doggie was very happy at Olivia’s place. Frequent updates and photos and videos showed her playing and relaxing. SOOO much better than being stuck in a cubicle at the kennel!”


“Kelly was a great sitter! This was the first time we boarded our dog with her and she kept us updated everyday and sent the cutest pictures! It seemed like her whole family really enjoyed Dune’s company. She was very responsive and always answered right away. I really felt like our dog was in great hands! Would highly recommend Kelly for boarding!”


“Diane was amazing!!! She sent multiple photos and updates each day, ensuring peace of mind for me while I was out of town. I will definitely board with her again!”


“Our dogs stayed with Tasha for the first time and loved it!! I appreciated the daily update with pictures and great communication. Tasha has a nice big backyard with lots of room to play. Thanks for the great stay!!”


“Kim was wonderful and loving with my little dog. In the video she sent he looked quite relaxed and at home playing with toys or snuggling on the couch. Her family and beautiful large dog were all terrific with him. Thanks, Kim!”



“Jennifer and Martyn were amazing. They took such great care of my Dad's dog while he is in the hospital. It was a huge relief for me knowing he was well taken care of. Thank you!!!!”


“Katelyn is amazing! She took incredible care of my big pittie girl and provided adorable, communicative updates. It was clear my dog had a great time with her. Would highly recommend her to anyone in the Wilmington area! :)”


“Haley was absolutely amazing! My old boy has some anxiety issues and Haley provided a comfortable and calm environment for him. He’s never stayed at someone else’s house before so I was pleasantly surprised at how well he did. I highly recommend booking a stay with Haley!”


“Gabrielle was absolutely amazing with our 4 month old puppy, Poppy! We received multiples photos and videos daily and felt so comfortable trusting our girl with her family. Gabrielle maintained Poppy’s training and routine and we are so thankful! I’d recommend to any puppy parents and will definitely be using again for upcoming trips!”


“If my dogs could talk I'm sure they would say they loved it at Charity's. They were completely at home with her and bonded well. We plan on using her whenever we can for sure.”


“Helena was a wonderful dog sitter for my 9 year old dog Moose. She was very accommodating when I needed to adjust the drop off and pick up times, and took the time to get to know Moose before boarding him. I appreciated that she only boards one dog at a time, which allowed her to give Moose individualized care and attention. Throughout the stay, Helena sent me regular photo updates and captions about their activities. When I picked Moose up, he seemed happy and tired out from all the fun he had. She was attentive to Moose and ensured he was comfortable throughout his stay. Helena frequently commented on what a well-behaved and great dog Moose is. I would absolutely trust Helena to care for Moose again in the future.”


“Ashley and her family were AMAZING hosts to our fur baby! We received pictures and videos throughout his whole stay and we are SO grateful we found them on Rover. It’s good to know your family member is safe and loved when you’re gone. They will definitely be our go to dog watchers from now on!”


“I can't recommend Robert and his family highly enough! From the moment I met them, I knew Bodie would be in excellent hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and welcomed during my absence. They were attentive to Bodie's needs and even worked on commands. When I returned, Bodie was happy and relaxed. He had a great time playing in the fenced-in garden with other dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy Robert is your guy!”


“Allie is the best!! I’m so glad I found her so I don’t have to stress the entire time I’m away. My girl hates the boarding place but I usually don’t have another option and she won’t look at me for a week afterwards. After being with Allie she’s not only looking at me she gave me hugs so I know she approves 😂”


“Donna and Calvin are wonderful. I didn’t think there would be anywhere that we could leave our pup while we were away that I wouldn’t constantly be fretting over her. Well, Donna and Calvin proved me wrong. I can’t imagine that we could have found better care for our little dog. They are the best!”


“Miranda was amazing with Henry! He was happy, had a great space, I got regular updates and she was communicative throughout the whole experience. Definitely will book with her again!”


“We left our German Shepherd with Mandy for a week. She is an anxious and a reactive dog who is unsure of strangers. Mandy managed her so well that when we picked her up, we haven’t seen any signs of stress. Mandy having a fenced back yard was also an excellent benefit that our dog got to go out as much as she wanted. She enjoyed the week away with Mandy. You can leave your pets under Mandy ‘s care without hesitation.”


“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”
