“We have a big rescue dog, Lupin, who is nervous around new people and leash reactive/frustrated because he wants to play with every dog he sees, and Karen was fantastic with him. It was very clear at our meet and greet at the park that she knew how to deal with such issues, and knew a lot about dogs and their behavoir. We did a one night trial run to get lupin used to them for longer boarding and they were very kind to him - we have already booked 2 more trips. At our meet and greet, her lovely pup was a marvelous calming influence on our 2 yr old.”


“Jennifer is a very professional and timely pet sitter! She was very responsive and always updated us with pictures and videos of our pet. Thank you again!”


“Karen and Hidalgo took great care of Allie! They sent lots of photos and kept in touch. They went above and beyond! We highly recommend them.”


“Albina was very communicative and sent photos every day showing our pups on their adventures together as well as just hanging out at home. They were very well taken care of and in perfect condition when we picked them up. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”



“Rosie loves hanging out with Michelle, Hazel and crew. We're so glad to have found Michelle. Her communication is fast and everything is always smooth.”


“Mary did such a fantastic job watching our pup for a week and a half while we were out of the country! Our pup has some specific needs so I was nervous but Mary was so sweet and patient with our pup. The photo updates made it easy to enjoy our vacation. I’d recommend Mary for anyone obsessed with their dogs.”



“I felt very comfortable leaving Jesse with Mariola. She sent me great pictures as updates. She is loving and really knows how to comfort dogs with anxiety. Would wholeheartedly recommend her!”


“We did a 1 night stay with April in preparation for a longer stay in a few months. April was very responsive and shared a lot of updates. It was great to get our frenchie familiar with her.”


“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”


“Words can not express how amazing Eiko is as as a host. I had an emergency while out of the country and she stepped in to provide service at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her enough.”


“Hi Alex! I just wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after our Luna once again. Your care means the world to us, and we really appreciate all the love you give her!”


“Finn had such a good time at Vanessa’s. He was safe and well cared for and we are very appreciative!”


“As always Megan and Jenny were incredible with my Sunny girl—even took her on last minute! So thankful we have found them. Sunny always comes home happy and tired ❤️”


“Danielle was awesome! I would highly recommend. This was ours and Chili’s first Rover experience and it went exceptionally well. He loved Danielle and her dogs. He got comfortable very quickly and seemed so happy on hikes with the other dogs. We got tons of updates and photos of chili at doggy camp. Danielle is so experienced and even had recommendations for us on how to train his reactivity.”



“This was Rocco's second stay with Jeff and family. He recognized where we were as soon as we started walking to the door and got really excited. They are so great with Rocco, give him lots of attention, take him on off-leash walks, and generally spoil him. We are already planning his next stay.”


“Kristiina was very kind and communicative through our weekend away!! Would recommend her to anyone looking for dog boarding. Our dog Tuna had a great time staying with her, going to the park, and hanging out with the other dogs. Thanks Kristiina!”


“TLDR; Jakob is fantastic for my large reactive dog. He is calm, considerate, thoughtful, respectful, and clearly cares and listens! Onto the long winded review... I find very little more nerve-wracking than leaving my dog, Viley, in the care of someone other than me-- and that includes friends and family. She is 90lbs, moderately dog-reactive, occasionally dislikes certain people, has a prey drive, is an opportunistic pig and takes 4 pills 2x/day. I say all this, because to fully appreciate my incoming RAVE of Jakob, you have to know my dog isn't the smallest or easiest. While Jakob is new here, the experience and approach he wrote in his bio & the recommendations from his friends spoke to me. Shortly after reaching out to him, he responded with thoughtful questions that showed he read my dog's bio. We set up a meet and greet at a local park. Upon arriving, he remained seated and let my dog sniff him. He never crowded her, put out a zombie hand, or did anything that would put my girl on alert. While strolling around he listened and observed how I navigate carious situations- dogs barking on leash, dog running off leash, humans with tiny children to avoid. He offered stories of dogs he cared for and how he handled various situations. At this point I was very comfortable booking him for a trial night. I picked Viley up earlier today and she is happy, healthy, and was clearly well-cared for. Upon drop off, Jakob asked if he could use hotdogs as a high value reward, showed me around his house, asked questions about potential separation anxiety, etc. His house is already equipped with dog gates for added yard barriers, a sign on the gate warning of pets inside, and in a lovely neighborhood. I sent Jakob a word document of my dog's quirks, commands, feeding/walk schedule, etc. I could tell he read and remembered it, for in his check-in texts he elaborated on how their walks went, citing the use of commands and techniques I use to keep her attention. He said Viley was great to have, which to me shows he was mindful of my many warnings, and did an amazing job avoiding stressful events and triggers. I could elaborate more than I already have, but I just suggest reaching out and seeing for yourself! Viley and I were lucky to find him and look forward to many more stays!”


“Rob was so great. We had a last minute no-show with another sitter one and a half hours before our vacation. I called customer service and they sent out requests. Rob accepted right away and even picked our german shepherd up. We didn't get a chance to introduce them because we were forced to head to the airport while finding arrangements, and our dog was very much on alert (via the cam) when Rob, a stranger to her, picked her up. He handled it extremely well and safely. He took her on a hike and updated us with happy pictures of her being played with and well exercised. Cant thank him enough, was truly a life saver. thank you Rob!”
