“Araceli was fantastic watching Roxy and Sushi! She kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how they were doing. Both pups clearly had the best time and came home happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend!”

“Kat and Joe are amazing! At the initial meet and greet they asked lots of questions which made me feel reassured that my dog was in good hands. I really like that they post picture updates and are very active, taking her for walks to the nearby dog park. A friendly couple, easy to work with, and you can tell they really care. Highly recommend! ”

“Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!”

“Madelyn is AMAZING! Not only was she able to take in my Lola love last minute when I needed someone the most I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch my girl! She made the process SO easy! Her communication is BEYOND great! The update photos had me bragging to my coworkers throughout the day about the great hands my girl was in while i was away! For my first Rover experience she is the PERFECT example of how the process should go and feel. SPONSOR her! 🥹😭 thank you again Madelyn you’re awesome at what you do and such a beautiful spirit overall! We will definitely be booking again!!”

“It was our first time ever having our dogs stay at someone’s home vs going to a boarding facility. Jennifer and Donald were awesome with our 2 Weimaraners, who can be demanding and a handful. We got photos and sometimes videos on a daily basis, which helped put our minds at ease during our vacation over Thanksgiving. We could see that our dogs were getting great walks, being properly fed and in a loving environment. Jennifer and Donald were also very accommodating when our drop off time had to move up an hour early in the morning. All in all, we highly recommend them.”

They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”

Listens and understand your concerns for your dogs needs. She took very good care of my senior Pomeranian. Followed instructions with food and medication, provided updates with video and pictures throughout my dog’s stay. Made sure my dog was comfortable when she had separation anxiety. And was my dogs temp. bestfriend while I was away. I look forward to rebooking her again.”

My dog felt sick during a stay with Alex and he promptly notified me and took her the vet for me. It was a comfort to know she was well cared for so I could focus on getting back to care for her. Thanks for always being great to Rori!

Krista was absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, welcoming, and attentive. Romeo took to her easily, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. She paid close attention to all of my requests and the little details about Romeo as he is an older dog, followed his schedule, and kept me updated throughout his stay with frequent communication and pictures. I also loved that her dog, Doug, was so sweet, and the two of them became buddies! 🐾🤍 I especially appreciate Krista’s flexibility and willingness to accommodate my last minute boarding needs. She went above and beyond to make Romeo feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I highly recommend Krista’s boarding services and will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Krista, for taking such great care of Romeo and making his stay a wonderful experience!

Angela is so good with our dog Cheese. He jumped out of the car and did not look back when we dropped him off for boarding recently (probably the first time he's ever done that). Also-her dog Cody is the sweetest and they get along so well. Highly recommend Angela for daycare and boarding ◡̈

Excellent! Helped me understand the personality of the other dogs that would be boarding with . Chau provided lots of photos and she had a wonderful positive attitude. My dog walked up to her place, wagging his tail. Many walks were provided and wonderful indoor and outdoor sunshine space. Dog and human approved.

Gaby truly loves what she does. From our first meeting / meet and greet, I saw how much effort she puts into making pups feel comfortable in her home (and in turn, helping their humans feel safe leaving their dogs in her care!). “Auntie” Gaby made the entire experience seamless, and my pup was safe + well cared for during her stay. I hope to utilize Gaby again in the future.

We were headed out of town for just over a week and needed a comfortable place for our boxer, Hank, to stay. Just picked him up this morning and he was one happy, relaxed pup. Hank loved having a buddy and sunning in the backyard. Samantha was great at sending pictures and updates daily as requested and flexible with pick up/drop off times. All in all, Hank had an excellent stay with Samantha and JJ. 5 stars all around!
