1. Gina & Erik L.
“This review is long overdue! Gina and Erik watched our two golden retrievers while in Tahoe for a family gathering in May 2023. They treated our dogs like their own and sent us lots of updates, photos and videos of our dogs during their stay. Our dogs looked SO HAPPY and clearly LOVED Gina and Erik. During a thunderstorm, one of our dogs was scared and Gina made a rub of essentials oils to help calm him, and Erik gave him hugs on the couch. They gave them such love, pets and hugs and we couldn't have asked for better dog sitters during our time in Tahoe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Gina and Erik!”
2. Wendy J.
“I loved working with Wendy; her communications were great, she gave me great, reassuring updates from very early to the end of my dog's first 2-week stay away from me. She and I had time to discuss his particulars in our meet and greet, and I was confident leaving him in her great setup for Rover'ing. Sebastian got his exercise and socializing, and was just as happy when I got back as when I left. Couldn't thank you enough, Wendy!”
3. Ted X.
“Love Ted and his family! Lucy always has such a great time and they treat her like their own.”
4. Dain & Jade S.

5. Patty and Randy A.
“Thank you Patty and Randy. I am totally thankful to have found you I searched several different prospects. You are a wonderful team that I would intrust my special babies too. Thank you for going above and beyond for my little ones 'extra needs'. I will be calling you for all of our vacations.. You were great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
6. Gina G.
“Gina and Gil took such good care of Charlie while we were out of town. I know Charlie enjoyed being able to wander outside in the fenced yard and sunshine to his heart's content. Domingo and Bruiser were nice to Charlie even though he's old. Gina sent me pictures every day! As soon as Charlie got home he knocked out, tired and happy from his sleepover. Would definitely book again.”
7. Erika & Cindy K.
“Wow! We are so happy with the pups stay with Erika and Cindy. Erika sent fun pictures and updates everyday. When we came to pick up the dogs, they were leashed and all ready to go. AND, most of all they came home so happy. It was obvious that they'd had a lot of fun. Erika and Cindy are fantastic and we will certainly trust them with our precious pups when we need a sitter again. It was a wonderful experience to feel relaxed while we were away, knowing the dogs were being well cared for and loved.”
8. Megan K.
“Megan took very good care of Amber. I got updates and photos regularly. I completely trusted leaving Amber with Megan and her family. I had a wonderful feeling about them as soon as we met. I could tell that Amber had fun staying with them and I will definitely use Megan for future times when I’m on vacation.”
9. Wendy C.
“Wendy was great!! She sent us pictures every day and even went out of her way to let our doggie play in a fenced in area with other dogs. We could tell he had a great time and Wendy was flexible with drop off/pick up. We will be booking with her again!”
10. Goharik D.
“Thank you so much for looking after Bella, especially on such short notice. She truly enjoyed her own little vacation at your place. Your attentive care and constant updates were incredibly reassuring. The photos and messages about her and well-being made us feel confident that she was in excellent hands.”
11. Holly W.
“Rocky had a great time. We will definitely book with Holly again if/when needed. Thanks for taking great care of him!”
12. Shelly A.
“This was Korns first time staying with someone new ! Shelly would send such cute updates and Korn was having the time of his life ! Highly recommend. Will definitely be rebooking with her !!”
13. Anne May G.
“Anne and her husband went above and beyond while caring for my 2 dogs!! My oldest dog is 15, and he had some stomach issues while I was away (which isn’t out of the norm for him), and they kept me up to date on his condition, and even offered to take him to an emergency vet for me. Luckily he was feeling much better the next day, but they are truly wonderful people who deeply care about the dogs they watch.”
14. Young T.
“We had a great experience boarding our dog with Young. He was very caring and attentive, and he ensured our pup was comfortable. Communication was excellent, with prompt responses and plenty of pictures and videos. We would definitely use Young again!”
15. Roxanne L.
“Roxanne and her family were incredible dog boarders! They took excellent care of our dog for four nights, with lots of care and attention and a great housing set up. We will be booking her again for sure!”

18. Susan M.
“Oh my gosh! Susan’s home was the BEST for my two puppies. They were so well loved, and came home stress free. My first choice whenever I need a sitter for the pups! Thank you, Susan, for giving them a second home while we were away!”
19. Ryan & Ashlee T.
“If I could do more stars I would. Haven’t boarded my girl before for fear of her not getting along with others. I am so glad I was wrong. Ryan and Ashlee took good care of her. She has friends now!! That warms my heart. I loved getting frequent updates on how she was doing and seeing her play. Their other dogs were so friendly and sweet. We will be coming back for more play time.”
20. Juliet H.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our dogs! We appreciate the extra time and attention you gave them. Plus the homemade Christmas treat was so nice! We will definitely ask you to care for the pups again.”
