“We had a terrific experience boarding our dog with Aaron. He was a great communicator, asking good questions about our dog when they met, and then quick and efficient with texts while we were away. He also offered insights into our dog that will be very helpful now that we have him back. Our dog was clearly well cared for and enjoyed his stay, going on car rides, which he loves, and getting special treats and plenty of attention, as well as enjoying a large space to run around in their fenced back yard. We will certainly board again with Aaron next time we need it.”
“Carolyn & Jonathan were amazing!! I HIGHLY recommend them for your fur-babies. I was really really nervous about leaving my "baby" and they made me feel comfortable with updates and pictures. Brooklyn had a wonderful time! Playing, long walks, laying on the couch! If you are like me - and never leave your dog - Trust me - you can feel at ease with Carolyn & Jonathan! I will definitely be using them again for Brooklyn again!”
“Patti not only helped us out on short notice, but she also was incredibly accommodating to a smaller, more nervous dog. Clearly she truly is an animal lover and the house is a great environment for pets.”
“Marissa was absolutely amazing!! I was so nervous about being away from my dog for the weekend, but marissa made me feel so at ease! She sent pictures and updates to me all weekend and I am so grateful she took such great care of my puppy!! She even gave a doggy gift bag when I came back to pick paisley up! Thank you so much marissa ❤️”
“Emily and Christine were great with Sherlock. They sent me photos of him playing with their dog, sleeping in their daughter’s room, going on walks, and generally having a blast. I’ve already booked them to take care of him again in a few weeks for an upcoming trip.”
“5 stars! Rita went above and beyond for our 14 year old Louis. She is very reliable, responsive, gives good updates and is very caring with her animal guests. We will definititely ask for Rita again!!!”
“Amazing care for your pet! Goes well above and beyond to make sure your loved one is happy and well cared for during your stay. I am visiting from out of state and had a last minute need and didn't think my little one would want to leave her and her new friends as she was having so much fun (seen in all the pics and updates Bronwen sent me:)!”
“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
“Weiyu (Sherry) did an outstanding job taking care of our Golden Retriever Kasey while we were out of town. Sherry went over and above the call of duty to make sure Kasey was comfortable, safe and happy. Kasey enjoyed hanging out & playing with her dog Mocha as well. Looking forward to our next play date with them.”
“Linda is a wonderful person. I knew Milo would be well take care of the first time I met her. She updated me during our vacation of how Milo was doing and sent pictures of him playing on her farm. If she is available I will use her every time we have to be away. Milo had a great vacation himself !! Highly highly recommend Linda!!!!”
“Eleanor is the absolute best! We felt completely comfortable leaving our one-year-old lab, Cora, in her care. She was excellent at communicating and sent lots of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. Cora had so much fun playing with Gus and came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We can’t wait for her to stay with Eleanor again!”
“My Autumn spent the night in Elizabeth’s home and has found a friend in Otis. Beth was very attentive and sent several photos of her stay, which was greatly appreciated… she has an extreme passion for our furrbaby and I am very pleased with the care that she gave on her overnight visit. I highly recommend. Elizabeth and I hope to use her service in the near future. .”
“Highly recommend Steffani & Josh to watch your pup! They have a great fenced in back yard and our little guy had an awesome time. Great communication and pictures throughout the entire stay.”
“Joseph did a terrific job with Benny! He was very involved and attentive to his needs, and constantly kept us updated on Benny throughout the week. He shared photos and videos of our pup having a great time and really put us at ease while we were away. Highly Recommend!”
“Alberta took great care of our dog, Mimi! She was responsive, friendly, and made sure Mimi was comfortable and happy while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Michele was an excellent sitter for our Millie! She gave us plenty of updates throughout the weekend and took very good care of our sweet girl who was exhausted after all the playing and fun! Thank you so much, Michele!”

My dog stayed with Carolyn & Jonathan over the end of year holidays. I felt like they really cared for her and they were great communicators with daily updates, so I was reassured that my dog was in good hands. They let me know they were following all of the special instructions for my senior dog too. Their home and neighborhood also offer a great set up for dogs and dog walking. So grateful to them for putting me at ease while I was away from my dog.
Ryan is the real deal - he’s got a great setup and took awesome care of our girl for a long weekend. She got in a nice balance of walks, fetch, tug, and snuggles, with regular photo and video updates. If you’re looking for a someone to trust with your pup, look no further!
Maurisa is the best dog boarding in the area. She’s kind and loving and sends lots of pictures and clearly loves and adores the pups while we take a vacation. This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure of getting her to board our two chihuahuas, and I recommend her if you’ve got precious fur babies. I especially appreciate that she used our dogs special vest that he needs to feel better when it thunders. Thanks Maurisa!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First-Time Rover Experience – So Grateful for Leah! This was my first time using Rover, and I was initially a little apprehensive since my dogs have only ever been boarded at a facility. But after our meet and greet with Leah, I immediately felt at ease. She was warm, professional, and clearly an animal lover. While I was away, Leah sent me daily updates and pictures, which meant so much. My dogs looked happy, relaxed, and completely at home. It was clear they were comfortable and enjoying themselves, and it gave me such peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care and attention Leah gave them—it felt like they were part of her family. I will absolutely be booking with her again the next time I need boarding. Highly recommend!
Chris was wonderful with my 5 year old French bulldog. I was very hesitant initially to use rover as my dog is very needy and high energy. He would usually go to doggy daycare while we are away to keep him occupied. However, a recent back injury prevented him from going. I hired Chris with very short notice. She took exceptional care of my dog, sent lots of photos and updates while we were away. She even went out of her way to make arrangements to stay an additional day when our flight home was canceled. It was wonderful and reassuring knowing that my dog was getting such great care and attention while we were gone. I would rehire Chris to watch my dog again in a heartbeat!
We have used Bronwen many times to watch our small dog. Trixie runs out of the car to go see Bronwen on arrival and never looks back because she enjoys her time there so much. Bronwen lets her out in the yard, throws the ball for her, feeds her consistently, and has the perfect dog friendly house with lots of toys and windows to watch outside. She comes home tired but not exhausted. We highly recommend Bronwen.
