1. Ruth G.

“Ruth is amazing. Her house could not possibly be more dog friendly. Her communication was not overbearing, but she let me know Yanqui was in good hands. If I ever need to board Yanqui again Ruth will be my first choice. Ruth should also be yours.”


2. Riley S.

“First time using rover and Riley. She was fantastic. Our dog loved her from the start. Kept me updated as to how our dog was doing and I felt very comfortable having our dog in her care. Great experience!!”


3. Kylie F.

Very clean and organized home for Dogs. Thank you Much Kylie!!!”




4. Mya G.

“I'm so happy Mya is the sitter I chose. Her back yard is a PUPPY PARADISE... I'm used to apartment living and having to leash walk Luci several times a day. But at Mya's house, Luci can run around in a big secure fenced-in yard with lush grass. It was like a real vacation for her. Mya has cameras on her phone so she can watch the dogs when she's away from the house. She is so chill and welcoming. I brought up my dog's behavioral issues, and she really took the time during the initial meeting to make sure her 4 pups and mine were going to get along OK, and to answer any questions I might have. Her small dogs are very sweet, and Luci made fast friends with them. I got updates with photos and video every day. Overall it was an amazing experience, and I hope we get to make this a more regular thing. Would rate 6 stars if I could.”


5. taylor m.

“Taylor was great! She sent lots of pictures and took Millie on a few walks a day which Millie loves. She also gave updates on how she playing with the other dogs that were there which puts our minds at ease.”


6. Mark S.

“My Carly was taken care of very well by the entire family. They went above and beyond in many ways with great communication and updates. Will definitely use for future trips!”


7. Jacob & Kadie B.

“I’ve used Jacob and Kadie five times now. They are great and my dog Ellie always comes homes extremely happy (and exhausted for all the exercise and play time she gets)! Ellie will continue to be back! They have on a few occasions been available for me on very short notice due to last minute work trips.”




8. Nicole M.


“Django had a great time at doggy sleepaway camp. Nicole, Alex, and Dallas treated him just like one of the family. He came back to us relaxed and happy but not overly needy, which suggests he got plenty of play and attention. We will definitely be sending Django back to Camp Dallas.”


9. Tamara D.

“Tamara and her family took such good care of our girl Jemma while we were out of town. She got to play all weekend with their family and pup ranger and she’s been pooped ever since. We are so grateful of Tamara and her sweet family for making us feel at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!!”


10. Maggie A.

“Maggie was great. Sent us lots of check ins to let us know Nino was doing good. She is super kind and caring. Nino seemed right at home.”


11. Melanie D.

“Melanie and Mark provided the highest level of care for our two pups during a short weekend visit. They asked all of the right questions before the visit, which gave us confidence that we were leaving our dogs in good hands, They sent pics and updated us during the dogs’ stay. We returned to very happy pups who were reluctant to leave Melanie and Mark. We will gladly trust our dogs to Melanie and Mark again.”




12. Karen V.

“My lab Barley was. well taken care of. Karen sent photos of Barley while he was there. Barley was one tired dog when he got home. Will definitely be taking Barley there again.”


13. Cassie B.

“Cassie was absolutely wonderful with our dog. Our daughter loved her picture and video updates while we were on vacation. Cassie's dog Goose was also great with our dog! I wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog with her again!”


14. Lottie C.

“We have used Lottie twice now and feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She is very quick to respond, easy to communicate with and sends photos/updates while watching our dog.”


15. JoAnna W.


“JoAnna and her whole family went out of their way to really welcome Loki into their home. A puppy learning to stay away from home for the first time and interact with new people and dogs is a big step. I really appreciate the consideration they gave Loki.”


16. Johanna L.
“Hanna is very thoughtful and takes time to get to know your pet and their individual needs. She is very patient and makes sure your pet knows they are loved!!! Absolutely recommended whole heartedly.”


17. Kathryn N.
About: I've owned and cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs my whole life! I have a soft spot in my heart for animals and promise to take the best care of your fur babies! I am a full-time teacher from 7-2:30, but outside of my hours I am very flexible! I am also flexible most weekends and have my own transportation. In my years of working with animals, I remain vigilant and caring of your animals, as I know I would want the same for my animals at home!


18. Brittany B.
“Brittany did a great job with our dog, very attentive and sent a lot of pictures. We felt a lot better going on vacation for a week!”


19. Erika R.

“Erika was wonderful taking care of our Lance during the holiday. We would have loved to take him with us, but it is too stressful for Lance. Lance was very happy to stay with Erika as she has a pup of her own. Yay for a playmate!”


20. Joshua W.

“Josh has been watching our 3 dogs for us when we travel for the last couple years and he has proven to be very dependable. The best thing about Josh is that he not only takes care of our dogs, he plays with them. Luckily, I am not the jealous type because there are times when they seem more excited to see him than me! Seriously though, it is such a relief to not have to worry about them when we go out of town. We know that he will be there and, since they love him, they will not be too sad while we are gone.”
