“Matthew and Michelle were wonderful! Our pup, who has never stayed with anyone but family in the past, felt right at home with their clan. They listened when I explained quirks specific to my dog. They were great at sharing status updates and photos, and are really just lovely people who love dogs. We will defiitely utilize their help again!”

10. Lynn G.
“My mother and I have been using Rover for a couple pf years now, but after we moved, we had to find a new person for boarding while we are out of state. Lynn happily welcomed us for a meet and greet, had our Leo for a “test” day as a Day Care, and watched him for three nights after that. We are very happy as she always replied to all the messages very quickly and sent updates. Leo did jot seem like he was worried as he stayed active after he got home. As an anxious little one, he would fall asleep in the car if he had a bad time. We are very grateful for such an amazing help and will definitely rebook whenever we travel again!”
11. Ingrida G.
“Ingrida always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Sadie. She has stayed with Ingrida several times and now Sadie gets very excited when we pull up to her house. I know she is well taken care of because she is always a happy dog when I pick her up. I would recommend Ingrida because it’s obvious she is a dog lover and treats your pet as her own!”
12. Linda B.
“Linda and her family opened their home for Bella like she’s her own. Linda took a lot of pictures everyday when we were gone. Bella felt so comfortable and yes… they spoiled her with love and care. Thank you Linda ❤️”
13. Justine & Brett M.
“Justine was extremely generous with her time and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog who is 15 years old and blind. I did not want our dog to be in a setting with too many other dogs which would make him nervous and on top of that he takes medications. This was a family style setting and Justine and her family treated my dog like family. That’s the best quality experience you could ask for.”
14. Susan B.
“I cannot say enough good things about Susan! We had a change in plans before a trip and needed a last minute sitter and she could not have been a better match. She was super responsive, sent tons of photos and updates, and was more than accommodating! She treated our dog like family and we will definitely be coming back”
15. Melissa R.
“Melissa was fantastic. She has a wonderful home and nice fenced in back yard. She went above and beyond. Jackson really enjoyed his time at Mellisa's.”
16. Shirley M.
“Shirley is without a a doubt the best sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear she truly cares about animals with her whole heart and treats every time she sits our pup as if he were her own. We keep coming back to Shirley again and again because of how easily she relieves us of any worry about how our pup is doing, and how happy he is to be with her while we’re gone. We highly recommend her for any type of service, and especially boarding in her home!”
17. Lynda M.
“Kaya has stayed here a couple times and all went well. She enjoyed her stay, interacting with other dogs, and Lynda's nice back yard. Regular updates with video were great. We felt Kaya was very safe in Lynda's care. Lynda is very organized making drop offs and pick ups very easy.”
18. Jean & Al S.
“Jean and Al are so kind and caring. My old girl ended up being a anxious mess at no fault of theirs and they were so good about keeping me posted with updates and photos. Thank you both for being so good to us. I appreciate you!!”
19. Sarah V.
“Sarah was wonderful caring for Maya. She was super accommodating and communicative throughout Mayas entire stay. I will definitely use her services again!”
