“I don’t even have words to explain how honored we were to find these two to watch Teddy for a few days! Teddy is a 7 mo goldendoodle, that’s super energetic. They gave him so much love and exercise he is exhausted at our home. They definitely know what they are doing. We will be using them again for sure! 🤗”

“Shawn and his family were excellent! They were able to arrange a same-day meet-and-greet between their family, their dog, my family, and our dog. Their whole family, including their dog, appear to love animals. I received many pictures over the course of my dog's stay. They have a great, fully fenced yard which includes significant shade and space to run around. I would definitely recommend Shawn and his family for your dog boarding needs, and will look to them for any future trips.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Rebecca was amazing. She was a great communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I was nervous because both my dogs are timid but I can tell the dogs enjoyed her house and her family! I really enjoyed the pictures and daily updates. I can tell Rebecca loved on my pups as much as I do and I will definitely book again!”

When it was pickup time, we could tell that Marley had pretty much made the house hers and she felt comfortable and loved. Thank you until next time, Whitney! You’re the best!”

“Ashley and Kyle watched our miniature poodle in their apartment overnight and we couldn’t be more pleased. He’s an energetic dog, but they kept him busy. They had toys for him to play with, took him on walks, and he loved playing with their dog. They also sent us several pics to let us know how he was doing. They even provided a small bag of dog treats to take home and wrote a very nice, thoughtful thank you card which they put in the bag with our dog’s stuff. We would be delighted for them to watch our pup again, and we highly recommend them to anyone else looking for someone to watch their dog.”

“Ashley treated my golden like family! She was given so much attention and exercise. I got the cutest pictures of her over Christmas and could tell that she was so happy with Ashley and her family. My dogs behavior was so much calmer than it is when I left her to be boarded at a retail location. This tells me that she got everything she needed while we were gone. I will certainly be using Ashley again!”

Infinity gave truly amazing service while taking care of my dog! She sent photos and videos of Jasmine on a daily basis. She showed patience in dealing with a hyper 16 month old German Shepherd. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to her for the loving care she gave my best friend!!!

Anni provided exceptional communication prior to and during the entire time she boarded my dog. She has a great set-up for a dog enjoys outside time and she was prompt in being ready for my drop-off and pick-up times. Given I was traveling from out of town for a football game in Lincoln, she allowed me to now worry whatsoever about the care of my dog in a city that is not my home.

Tyler is someone who I can depend on when it comes to leaving my dog with someone while I’m gone. Not only did Tyler send me pictures and a video for updates, but also was willing to accommodate last second changes of plan. The fenced yard outside his home was very spacious and my furry companion loved her stay there. I highly recommend Tyler and he would be my first choice every time.
