“Chance was well taken care of. We received daily updates including pictures of Chance. He always looked comfortable and happy which in turn allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing Chance was in good hands. Monica and Dan were excellent and will always be our first choice to keep Chance when we need to be away! We highly recommend Monica and Dan, as long as Chance gets/is given priority status. P.S. Chance will like to potentially request a stay in mid April and late October ?!”

“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”

“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”

“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
“Cassidy was great!! She communicated with me the whole time I was gone and seeing that this was my very first time using this app she made me feel so comfortable and let me know my fur baby was safe and doing well. Thank you again, Gotti loves you guys ❤️”

“Sharee was a GODSEND!!! An absolute a dream to work with from initial contact to meet & greet, to the drop-off, to pick-up: everything was simple, seamless and SO well in hand. Since our Morty has only been for an overnight stay once without either me/my husband or a family member he’s known a LONG time, my husband and I were concerned about leaving our boy behind while we were on vacation but Sharee put both of us at ease right away. Sharee is warm and friendly with a great vibe. You can tell she knows what she’s doing and is very comfortable and confident working with multiple dogs of varying sizes. Sharee definitely gives off “Alpha” energy, which is especially important because dogs need to know who’s running things in order to feel as well as actually BE safe and secure. She’s got a great back yard with lots of room for pups to run around in and sniff as well as a decent sized area that is still outdoors but parceled off if pups need separation for any reason. This way everyone gets fresh air without having to sacrifice safety. I love this. Morty (who normally is quite bashful when meeting new people) took to Sharee right away: I believe this was because she was so calm, decisive, yet loving and warm with all the other dogs that were there. Once he saw how happy/not stressed out all the other dogs seemed, Morty seemed to fold into the pack pretty seamlessly. Tails were wagging hard and fast all around— it was amazing! One thing I truly appreciated was on the evening when we dropped Morty off, Sharee met us at the car and SHE walked Morty into the house and I followed behind. This set the tone and served as a kind of “changing of the guard” insofar as signaling to Morty that he had to listen to HER from then on out. He got on board without issue (again, safety first: I. LOVE. IT.), and then she introduced him to the other dogs who would be his buddies during his stay (some he’d met during the meet and greet, one he hadn’t… all was well!) While we were away Sharee kept us updated throughout each day on how Morty was adjusting and what good mischief he and the others were getting into with sweet pictures and videos which were always appreciated. We also discovered that Sharee’s dog, King, and Morty are kindred spirits and became fast friends so that was great too! While Morty seemed happy to see us when we came to scoop him up when it was time to go, I’d be lying if I said he didn’t cry for a little bit on the car ride home when he realized King wasn’t coming too! 😂 All told, we could not have asked for a better experience and will MOST DEFINITELY be repeat customers!!! Sharee is AMAZING!!!!!”

“I have never left my Thor with anyone but my family, but I was happily pleased with Gianniana. I received pictures and my dog was playing and having so much fun. She did a wonderful job of taking care of him and I really appreciate meeting her on Rover.”

“1000/10, She contacted me everyday with updates and pictures/ videos. I definitely will be recommending her to my friends and family. My dog loved Ms. Toya, she came back home just as happy as she was when I dropped her off!!!”

“Iman is so lovely! I am a new dog mom of a 2 yr old husky that I adopted from the South Suburban Humane Society. I was nervous about leaving my dog as it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and I didn’t know how she’d react staying overnight with other dogs. Iman reassured me that everything would be fine and gave me updates. She even gave me samples of dog treats, that my KoKo loved. I’ll definitely use her services again.”

“Holly took excellent care of our pups while we were away for a few days. She sent tons of updates and pictures and made sure to give our dogs extra love in a new environment. Highly recommend booking with Holly.”

“Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!”

“kamiah and cassius were wonderful and i highly recommend them. they took great care of my dog. quick communicators, very professional, and they were kind when i was running late. i am looking forward to booking with them again!”

“This was my first time ever leaving Fiona with anyone other than my mom, I was very nervous about it but Doris made me feel right at home. Doris and Gio greeted a warm welcome to me and Fiona. Doris’s communication skills were on point, anytime I checked in on Fiona I got a response time back so quick. Doris is absolutely amazing and I will be booking with her again. Fiona and Gio got along great.Thank you so much Doris”

“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“She was AWESOME to work with! Communities consistently. Sent pictures, vids & updates. Provided my dog a clean, safe place to be, play and sleep. She LISTENED to the details about Taji and acted accordingly. I wlll definitely use her again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her based on the services we received.”
