1. Jifu Y.

“Jifu’s family with Joki took a good care of our golden doodle, Kuli very well. They follow the caring instruction to feed Kuli and medications. Kuli has allergy and urinary incontinence, she needs to take medication multiple times a day, she also has bilious vomiting if she has empty stomach for too long, and she pees on herself in front of her legs because of the way she pees, those make more troubles to take care of her. But when we pick Kuli up, she is happy, clean, and no illness symptoms so I can tell they fed Kuli on time with correct dose of medications. Their house has a nice and big backyard, also a front yard with grass lawn. What’s a wonderful place for pups. Kuli likes to bask there, and play fetching. Thank you very much for having Kuli and thanks Joki to share the nice space and keep Kuli company.”


2. MinJun & Mi Ran P.

“MinJun and Mi Ran took great care of Lava during his stay. He can be a fussy eater sometimes, and they were very patient with him, trying different options and making sure that he didn’t go hungry. They took him out on walks and kept me updated with photos and videos! They even took him out for a drive and arranged a play date too! He came back home very happy!”

“Jesse and Kimmy are absolutely wonderful! They are so kind and caring with my dog and regularly send updates to let me know he is doing well. I trust them with my dog for even long term trips. My dog Simon seems to enjoy his stays with Jesse and Kimmy and is comfortable in their home. I've booked several sitters through Rover and Jesse and Kimmy have been most accommodating of my dog's quarkiness and even seem to enjoy the quarks! Highly recommend!!!”


10. Liliane L.

“We are very happy with how Liliane took care of our dog, Honey. We could tell during the meet and greet that Honey would have wonderful attention which helped us relax as she is very attached to her human parents. We do not often board Honey but our grandson is allergic to dogs so we needed to have a place for her to stay while we were visiting our son's family. We could tell Liliane was attentive and caring about Honey's needs throughout her stay. We received photos and messages frequently which we loved and helped us to know all was well. It made our day to hear the sound of another message/photo coming through! Honey had walks, a backyard to roam, and a buddy with Liliane's dog, Dodger. Thank you Liliane for all your care and attention. We will definitely call on you gain.”
