“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”


“They took very good care of our dog Poppy!! Great communication and really cute photos! They are watching her again in a few weeks, would definitely recommend!!”



“This was my first time using Maria for dog boarding when we went out of town and I was very pleased with her. She took great care of my babies and provided me with daily updates. I’ll definitely be using her again and recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter 😊”


“Sherry was great! Our Doxie Cooper got lots of cuddles and attention while we were gone and Sherry provided daily updates so we could see how much fun he was having. Would highly recommend!”


“Our lovebug Naila had a great stay at Ariel's house. She really seemed to enjoy ability to mingle with other dogs and run in the backyard. She came home happy and relaxed. Ariel was great at sending pictures, giving updates on our dog and staying in touch. We would for sure trust her with our dog again!”


“Mark was so flexible and kind! My pup came home happy and clearly enjoyed himself. He stayed with Mark for a week and I was updated frequently and well assured that he was taken care of like a member of the house. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”


“This is our third time to ask Jieun to help take care of Miaomiao. She is very nice and took several pictures and videos to keep us updated. Miaomiao really liked to stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets”


“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”


“This is the third time we’ve boarded our 2 Coton de Tulear pups with Melisa. Again terrific. She is easy to communicate with, totally herself, with nice school age kids and a fenced in yard off the kitchen’s that is great for hours of play. My dogs come home well-cared for, happy and exhausted. And this year, when we couldn’t get into our house after vacation because refinished floors hadn’t dried, Melisa was kind enough to keep our dogs a few extra days. A life-saver. Thanks again!”


“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”

Don't hesitate to book with him, He is the best!”


“Thank You Holly & Mike! Finn had such a great time with you!! I would highly recommend Holly. Her knowledge of elder dogs made me fell so at ease. The property Finn stayed at must of felt like a resort retreat! Beautiful 🤩 I will most definitely be contacting Holly more often!”


“This was my first time boarding my dogs and using rover. I have read so many potential candidates profiles and other reviews and Marianas stuck out to me. She had my two dogs for 9 days and every day I had updates and photos and videos. Even with travel complications and extending their stay for one more night was no issue at all. I think my dogs had the times of their lives staying with Mariana. I’m so happy to have found her and know that during any future trips my babies are going to be cared for.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Kristen who watched out dog for 10 days. He got lots of love and went for walks and hikes. We appreciated all of the photos and updates! We know he will look forward to returning to his home away from home!”



“Perfect home away from home ! Seems he had great fun and definitely did not seem stressed at any time, given that this was his first time here. Every little thing requested around his food, rest and habits were taken care of by the host. What more can we ask other than this kind, caring and loving care and friendly human company ?! We will definitely look you up when in need of care.”


“Carolina and Angel were great to deal with and welcomed Bella into their family for the weekend. Quick responses and provide ample updates during the stay. Highly recommended. Thanks again!”


“So grateful for Nadjeska! Last minute getaway and couldn’t take our four-legged boy with us. Nadjeska was willing to board him on such a tight deadline/notice. Great communication! Great picture updates! Smokey had a great time! Definitely a repeat in the future! Thank you”


“Tiffani [and her family] were such a wonderful fit for my precious Madison. Madison has never stayed any place overnight (aside from home), and my sister and I were extremely nervous to leave her anywhere- when family members were not an option. We went away for 8 nights and needed to ensure Madison was in great hands and loving hearts. Tiffani and her family went above and beyond to not only care for Madison, but make her feel like family. Wow! We were amazed! Tiffani sent lots of wonderful pictures/videos throughout the week and it helped us get through the week being away from Madison. Madison is sensitive and has separation anxiety, but she was loved so much during her week with Tiffani that we could literally see her comfort level blossom each day as more and more pictures were sent. My sister and I wondered if Madison would even want to come home, after such a fun week with cuddles upon cuddles upon cuddles. ???? We we’re so thankful, grateful and satisfied with our decision. Also, we were thrilled that Madison got daily walks each day and had playtime with the kids and (her new Rover lab sister) Mia. ? (Tiff has amazing kids by the way, who are guaranteed to smother your dog in love & giggles). When we went to pick up Madison, she didn’t recognize us and barked because she became so attached to Tiffani and family (haha!- great sign), and she was exhausted from having an amazing week. Now my sister and I only feel bad that Madison had to leave a place she fell so in love with, enjoyed, and where people loved her. That’s the impression Tiffani left on us and Madison. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Tiffani was very tuned in to our Madison. Oh! And, even with us being out of country the communication was wonderful and consistent- every single day. We will absolutely book with her again if we need and she’s available. We are so grateful to have found her. ????”


“We where looking for a Sitter for our two little guys at last minute and Yajaira came to the rescue she is very polite great Communication and flexible with scheduling. We had no worries while out of state for a few days definitely recommend we will continue to use her services in the near future!”
