“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”
“Jackie was amazing with our lab! Our dog had recently had a procedure and required extra care, which Jackie handled so well. She sent updates throughout the weekend and we had complete peace of mind. Would highly recommend Jackie to anyone!”
“John was a great sitter for our dog, Riley. He made us feel very comfortable leaving Riley in his care, and he provided regular updates so we knew Riley was doing well throughout the weekend. Riley loved his weekend at John’s place and we will absolutely book with John again in the future whenever we need a sitter for Riley.”
“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so nice to see him looking relaxed and completely at home with her. Everything went so smoothly from drop-off to pick-up. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Denise watched my dog Paddy for over a week while he was recovering from Lyme’s. She was very friendly, kind and assuring during this period. She also communicated with me daily and sent updates and pictures. I would highly recommend.”
“We boarded our dog Targa with Melissa for 9 days. She immediately made us feel comfortable with the care and attention Targa was getting. She send photos and updates daily and Targa was clearly happy there.”
“Jorge and his two dogs were fantastic with my Bernedoodle! Excellent communication and regular photo/video updates of all the fun. My dog got lots of exercise and play time, and Jorge even went above and beyond by giving him a bath. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!!”
“Nicole and her family were great with our dog Marty. We met once before leaving him for 4 days and immediately he seemed at ease, and I should note our dog Marty is pretty nervous around new people and new dogs. Nicole sent regular updates and each one showed a very happy pooch. He seemed very at ease with the family dog Dakota and bonded with their son. We will definitely ask Nicole and her family to dog-sit again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Karine was great with our elderly dog. She was taken care of in every way possible. We would definitely use her again. She and her husband definitely know how to meet the needs of our little old dog.”
“My older spoiled dogs warmed up very easily to Elaine, and became relaxed and comfortable easily. I was delighted to see, as they were used to in home dog sitters and this was the first time I brought them to a sitter. Then when we picked them up they were very happy, peaceful and joyful. I knew they had received excellent care from Elaine. I highly recommend Elaine and will definitely use her services again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Troy with someone and LisaLeigh made the whole process really easy! She kept me updated throughout the weekend and took great care of him. Troy came home happy and tired, which is all I could ask for. I really appreciated how smooth everything went and how flexible LisaLeigh was with the early pickup and drop off time. Will definitely book with her again for next trips out of town!”

Clinton was such a lovely host to Beau. I don’t think Beau will be happy back with us.🤦🏻♀️ From plating his food - to getting his allergy medicine that we forgot to pack. jumping in when flights got cancelled, keeping him another night and providing his favourite fruits and veg for toppers and snacks throughout the day. A big gracias, merci and than you Clinton we will be back 🩵🤍🩷🙏🏼
Kevin and Ana are the best. Our pup Bruce is officially obsessed with them after a few walks and one weekend stay- he didn’t want to leave! They were so great about acclimating our dog with their neighborhood and house, then slowly introducing him to their own dogs. We received pics and videos all weekend, proving that he was (more than) well taken care of. We will definitely keep booking with these two!
Está muy bien, solo haría unos pequeños cambios para que suene más natural en inglés: She was amazing! My dog loved her so much that when I went to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, which showed me that she felt safe and comfortable. Yury was also super sweet and always sent me videos and pictures. I will DEFINITELY book with her again! Thank you, Yury — we are so grateful! También podrías hacerlo un poco más cálido: She was amazing! My dog absolutely loved her. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, which told me she felt safe, happy, and comfortable. Yury was incredibly sweet and kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Yury, we are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our dog! ❤️
Richard and his wife are caring and took very care of my dog Paddy. My dog had a couple of great stays and we appreciate the daily updates and photos. We will continue using Richard and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a pet sitter whose house feels like home!
We had such a wonderful experience boarding our miniature dachshund, Bailey! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. Jon took amazing care of her and we are really impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We could tell he was treated like family. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jon again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog boarder!
Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! Our dogs received more attention and exercise than they ever get at home — which is truly saying something. We were away for over a week, and knowing our babies were in such loving, capable hands was an enormous relief. We couldn't recommend Karen more highly and will definitely be booking with her again!
Tina was lovely. Extremely communicative sending multiple pictures a day with videos. She immediately answered any queries. She also went out of her way to get my pup extra treats on his birthday. Lots of walks, lots of play time. She even prepared Bubbles food when he ran out. She’s an amazing sitter!
Azucely S. was amazing with Chewy and took such great care of him. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated the whole time, which really gave me peace of mind. Chewy looked so comfortable and happy with her, and it truly felt like he was right at home. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.
Chaz had another lovely stay with Rosediane. He had a great time! He was very happy to see her when we got to her house. She sent updates and pictures every day! Chaz has stayed with her a few times since 2023 and I always feel comfortable leaving him with Rosediane because I know he’s well cared for by her!
Just amazing! Took such good care of my babies. My girl is a rescue with a history of abuse and she went straight to Yulia. She sent pictures while we were away and took care of our old man who suffers from heart failure. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Ginger didn’t even want to leave. She and Rye got along super well. Katie and Tausif were both very attentive and made sure she had a ball. They sent smiley pictures. They also followed my care instructions well, which I appreciate. I can tell Ginger can’t wait to come back.
