“Isbath and her sister were so friendly and took such great care of our dogs. They provided us with updates and photos throughout their stay. Their dogs are so sweet and got along great with our dogs too. We needed a sitter last minute as ours cancelled and they were very accommodating. They have a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood with a fenced in yard. We would recommend your pets staying with this wonderful family of four and the next time we need a sitter, they will be the first ones we call! Thank you so much for taking the best care of our dogs!”
“Very good with my pug. She took care of her like her own dog. The backyard was a huge plus. I also got regular updates about her eating and outings. The pictures and video updates were also helpful to put me at ease.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent experience! Lupe was fantastic with our dog! He was very communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates with pictures and videos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear he’s experienced and genuinely caring — our dog was relaxed and happy when we got back. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely book with him again! Highly recommend it!”
“This is our first time using Rover and was very pleased with the process. We were reluctant at first, but after meeting Monica placed us at ease. I would definitely recommend Monica to our friends and family. Monica was very thoughtful with sending photos almost every day of our Bingo having a great time with her and family. Bingo felt at home with them. Thank you again, for taking such great care of our Bingo.”
“I must say I was def scared as Dakota has never been with anyone else. Ms. Margarita made not only me feel confident but my sons whom both were so happy that she was in good hands . I will definitely book again even for a day just so Dakota can keep in touch !”
“Nan was absolutely amazing. This was my first time ever leaving my dog, who is very anxious without me, and she went above and beyond to make me feel completely comfortable. She sent so many pictures and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. Nan was so loving, patient, and caring, and it was clear my dog felt safe and happy with her. Thanks to Nan, I finally feel like I can enjoy work or personal trips without constant worry. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Rachel is absolutely amazing. My Jessie was happy and she took care of her with so much love and attention. She was great with keeping me updated and was very warm and inviting. I will be using her again for all my boarding. Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Meet and greet went so well i felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her. The overall stay was great, very friendly and caring towards peanut, sent pictures and updates (even bathed him) from the pictures i could see he was very happy, which made our time away from him more easy to enjoy knowing he was in good hands. Will definitely use Claudia again and highly recommend.”
“Bryan and Jacquelyn took great care of our dog Lucy. They gave us daily updates and pictures. Lucy was allowed on their couch and bed and from the pictures felt like she was very comfortable and felt right at home. We would highly recommend commend them and will book them next time a need comes up for us and if they are available.”
“Nicolas took good care of my dog. He was walked a couple of times each day and his fur was brushed, which I appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I felt comfortable leaving my dog in their care.”
“Bonnie took amazing care of our yorkie Spike for 4nights. She and her husband scheduled a meet and greet where they had an initial interaction with Spike and talked to us about his needs/routine. Due to pancreas’s issues he is on a strict diet and likes to drink a lot of water. Bonnie accommodated this without issue, adjusted to Spikes routine, and gave him frequent potty breaks. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day, which I loved 🥰. We could tell he was comfortable by the images and when we returned to pick him up, could see that he was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely rebook again- Thank you Bonnie and family for taking such great care of Spike!!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! Levi stayed with her for a few nights and she kept me in the know on how he was doing and sent a lot of pictures. She also filled me in on how to use the app. Levi got sick the day before staying with Jessica and she was very accommodating with us dropping him off late and picking him up late. I will definitely be using her again!”
“It was great experience again with Ryan as that of last time. We got regular and timely updates on Sparkle and she looked happy with him. Thanks Ryan for taking care of Sparkle so well.”
“Very friendly family. The little sister absolutely loved playing with my dog and kept him entertained the whole time. Now that back home, my dog seems a bit lonely without playmate.”
“Enzo seemed well taken care of when we picked him up and it looked like he enjoyed his time with the other dogs. Jing sent photos and video of Enzo to let us see how he was doing during his stay.”
“Melodie was AWESOME!!! She treated our Trinity like family. Melodie communicated with us daily with updates and photos. We’ve used pet hotels in the past, and it usually takes days for Trinity to get back into the swing of things and be her normal self, upon picking her up she was her usual ball of energy! :) I know my pup well, and she was truly happy with her stay, and so were we. We will definitely be checking Melodie’s upcoming availability for the remainder of the year, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a safe and secure, but also caring/loving space for their fur kid. I can be a nervous and most times overprotective pet parent….So I’m glad we met Melodie, as I said at the top of this review…..She’s AWESOME??????”
About: I'm a dog mom of two lovely pups - a 5-year-old Pomsky girl and a 2-year-old Bernedoodle boy - so I’m experienced in managing a multi-dog home and balancing different play styles and energy levels. I keep my guest list small so that every pup receives individual attention, exercise, and calm, positive supervision :) I’m home full-time right now, so your pup gets tons of love and attention! We do 2–3 fun outdoor sessions a day - walks, fenced play, and potty breaks - plus playful games and cozy cuddle time in between. I’ll follow their usual meal/med routine so every day feels happy and familiar. Happy pups, safe space! We live in a house with a big, fully fenced yard - perfect for zoomies and fetch. All play is supervised, gates stay secured, and water bowls are always full. Indoors, dogs get comfy hangout spots; I can separate for meals/treats or offer crate time if you prefer.
“Hollie and DK were so great with Elly, sending us photos throughout her stay and giving us updates. Elly looked super happy and were so happy we found them!”

We are beyond grateful for the amazing care my pup Bella received! From the very beginning, they were warm, kind, and reassuring. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Bella was clearly well cared for,and loved. It means so much to know she was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their fur baby!
We had a wonderful experience with Nicholas B! He was always responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with. The daily pictures he sent of Luna really gave us peace of mind--she looked happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to any anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!
. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soham took excellent care of Phoebe and treated her like his own. He sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even in snowy and very cold weather, he made sure Phoebe got her walks and plenty of playtime, including her favorite game of fetch. Phoebe absolutely enjoyed Rizo’s company and she received so much love and attention throughout her stay. It truly felt like Phoebe had a vacation of her own! We are incredibly grateful to Soham and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter.
I can’t thank Karina enough for watching my anxious girls on such short notice. They’d never stayed with anyone before, so I was really worried—especially about my most nervous one. But Karina’s patience and care won her over completely! My dad picked them up to happy, relaxed doggies and total peace of mind.
Leslie took great care of Finn overnight. He was comfortable with Leslie and her dog when we dropped him off. They had a great time playing and Finn was tired when he got home. Leslie sent pics and kept in touch,which we really appreciated. We were very pleased and will most definitely be asking Leslie again!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!
Dilan and Baran have both been amazing! They were very welcoming, I particularly appreciated their attention to detail. They asked all the right questions in detail and made sure they are prepared to look after Pluto. I also felt more comfortable knowing they rescued animals of their own and they understood the special needs of Pluto. He’s a very chill dog in general but he has his quirks around small kids and other dogs/ cats like other rescues. Dilan and Baran ensured Pluto was comfortable and happy. Walking, play times and feedings were all on point and although Pluto doesn’t love being left behind when we travel he was happy to give Dilan and Baran kisses when I went there to pick him up. I definitely recommend Dilan and Baran and very happy to have found them for whenever I can’t take Pluto with me when we travel!
