“Bob took such wonderful care of our pup over our wedding weekend! Our dog had such a good time and Bob even gave us updates (per our request ☺️). Thank you so much, Bob!!”
“Sarah & Aaron are great with dogs! They understand how dogs work and what they need and are attentive to those needs at all times. I've left my dog with them several times now and he always comes back in perfect shape and in a good mood. He now recognizes their house and launches out of the car when we arrive.”
“Couldn’t have had a better experience boarding our girl. Richmond was communicative, thoughtful, accommodating of our last-minute overnight request, and took excellent care of Sunny. His fenced yard was a paradise, and the hike to the swimming hole was a wonderful treat. Sunny was very happy, relaxed, and exhausted when we picked her up. Thanks, Richmond.”
“Deanne was a lifesaver - not only did she agree to take our cat Tulip on such short notice, but she helped me with my separation anxiety with such kindness and empathy. Deanne went out of her way to send pictures and videos of Tulip having a great time, which meant the world to me. Tulip was clearly happy, well taken care of, and now I have to buy her a cat tree since the one Deanne provided brought her so much joy. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart - Brianna”
“Wonderful sitter! Highly recommend. Great with communication and sending photos with updates. I left feeling confident in her taking very good care of my fur baby. He ran to her before we left and to me that meant he had a great time and was very well taken care of!”
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
“Maegan and her family were great sitters to my pug Sofia! I was sent plenty of pictures and I know she was cared for and loved dearly during my long 12 night trip away. Thank you for caring for her!”
“Cipriana was great! This was Buddy's first time boarding after adopting him five weeks ago and it couldn't have gone better. The Meet and Greet beforehand was a great experience and the pictures and texts that Cipriana sent during Buddy's stay were very much appreciated. Buddy will be staying again in the near future. Thanks, Cipriana”
“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”
“Highly recommend! Taylor took wonderful care of my dog. I would absolutely use her again- she was communicative, and I felt very comfortable having my dog in her hands.”
“I am so thankful I found somebody who can take care of my little one when I’m away!!! He had a great time and he was well taken care of! I know he is in good hands!”
“First of all you have to be a dog person to be a great dog sitter. Kristen and Mark are just remarkable dog people! Kristen reminds me of Cesar! Very thoughtful in their approach to care. They have a wonderful safe environment with company and play and a place for calm respite. Kristen got my girl to eat on the first night away! That never happens. Thank you for the all the kind attention and videos! Really hope to pass this way again !”
“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”
“Lori was a life saver! We had to book on very short notice and Lori took our 2 dogs into her home for the weekend. They were incredibly cared for in a safe home. Lori sent us updates on their well-being and they came home happy.”
“Natthinee did a wonderful job taking care of my Moose! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time doing all of his tricks and playing with their dog. He will definitely be coming back for more visits!”
“Vera was the perfect dog sitter for our Pixel. She sent great updates and pictures throughout our trip to make us feel comfortable and show us that Pixel was having a great time. She is very thorough and asks all the right questions (even the ones that we forgot). Highly recommend Vera for all your doggy needs!”
“Emily one again took awesome care of my dog! He had another great time with her, and her updates gave me total peace of mind that my dog was very well cared for. She’s also very responsive and great to communicate with. Thanks Emily!!”
“Chelsea and Christopher were so good with our girl Fea! Fea has a lot of anxiety especially with strangers. Our vet wasn't available to board her. So we went on Rover found Chelsea and Christopher. We had a meet and greet and Fea never growled or barked at them. She was wagging her tail and went for a stroll in their yard without us! We found the right folks to watch Fea. They sent us a photos and updates. We'll definitely send Fea there again!!”
