“Jess and her family were AMAZING with Jack and Mazie - long walks, alot of cuddles - both my dogs came home happy and it was clear they felt safe and comfortable. Thank you all!”
“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”
“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“Alex provided a great place for my dogs to stay while my husband and I went on a trip. I knew our pups were in good hands with Alex looking after them. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing our pups had attentive supervision, as well as a home and a yard to hang out in wbile we were gone. Alex sent photo and video updates, and he took care when introducing my dogs to the other dogs under his care. Thank you Alex!”
“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Sean! It was our first time using rover and he was awesome to work with. He was super responsive and gave us daily updates and pics of our pup which we loved. Would use him again!”
“Kayla was wonderful with my fur baby during our recent boarding booking. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and most importantly genuinely cared about my dog. He was injured just before his stay with Kayla and needed special attention, which she provided expertly. She sent frequent updates by text with great pictures, which was extremely reassuring. Great rover sitter!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Sarah and her family watching my dog while I was traveling out of the country. They were caring, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I appreciated the updates and could tell she was well loved and cared for. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Frankie to be while we were away.A fenced in back yard where she could run and play with other dogs.The pictures they sent gave us a great feeling while we away and missing her.Our nephew just got a puppy and we told him we would highly recommend Ben and Sarah.”
“I recently had my dog stay with Bo & Xiaosong for three days and two nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! They did an outstanding job taking care of my dog. She was happy, playful, and seemed to have a wonderful time during her stay. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I received video clips both day and night showing my dog eating, drinking, playing, and going for walks, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel connected to her while I was away. Bo & Xiaosong truly care about the animals they look after, and it’s evident in the way they interact with the dogs. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving environment for their pet!”
“Aspen was so well cared for! We loved the pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Aspen was cared for as if we left her with family. So grateful for Tomoe and her family.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Sarah and her family! This was our 1st time with Sarah and was happy to hear that our dog quickly bonded with her kids. Sarah proactively sent updates every day with pictures, which we all appreciated. I highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again.”
“Juno was with Mike for the first time and had a wonderful time (my husband told me)! He has a marvelous set up inside and out for dogs and most of all kept me updated with photos and videos of my baby girl. Thanks Mike and see you soon again when I travel! Naomi”
