“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”
“My dog could probably give a more accurate review, but from what I experienced, Michelle was great to work with. She was very accommodating and flexible. Looked like my pup got plenty of excercise and was well cared for. The drop-off/bath services were a big perk, saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks Michelle!”
“Thank you so much for loving our pets as much as we do! They were both exhausted when we got home which is hard to do with dobermans! We felt at ease on our vacation knowing that they were in good hands. We got some cute pictures too!”
“We usually board our dogs at a kennel, but our current dog has kennel stress and that was not an option for us this time. A friend suggested the Rover app to find somebody who would watch our dog in their home. This led us to Sara. We can not say enough good things about Sara. She was awesome to work with, very personable, and always responded to our texts in a timely fashion. But more importantly, our dog loved it at her home. She sent us daily videos and photos of our dog playing and having fun with the other dogs being boarded. It was very reassuring to get these daily photos and know our dog was well cared for and enjoying herself. Sara has a large fenced area for the dogs to run in, but she also welcomes them into her home and on her furniture (sign of a true dog lover!). Sara was also very accommodating when our dog needed a special diet for a few days. This was such a positive experience all around. We will never take our dog to a kennel again. Thank you Sara- you are the best!”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Sharon and Albert are AMAZING! This is by the far the best experience I've ever had leaving my pup! Blitzen is very sensitive and it takes her quite a long time to warm up to new people and she was comfortable immediately. I received pictures each day and I could tell what a great time she was having. For me Sharon and Albert are the only choice for watching Blitzen in the future.”
“Meghan did an awesome job watching our pup! It was his first time away from us and she was very caring and did everything to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She sent pictures daily and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands.”
“Alexa is the best dog sitter you could possibly find. I get feedback photos of my dog enjoying her stay every day. She goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients and my dog loves her so much. In fact, I think my dog is very sad today because Alexa is not here.”
“Shelly was great with Stanley, he is normally afraid but right away went to explore with Shelly. I appreciated the flexibility with drop off and pick-up since we had to rush around to get back into town. We will definitely bring Stanly back!”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Irina is great. We left Tara for several days with her, and Irina helped administer her medications and soak her paw for two days for some infection that was diagnosed last minute by our vet. She took Tara on many beautiful hikes and took really good care of her. We got Tara tired and paw infection was resolved as well. Irina was also flexible with Tara's commands in two different languages. We will definitely feel comfortable to use Irina's help again and we can highly recommend her.”
“Matt was able to watch my mini Aussie Holly last minute on the day of. He took her on a walk, sent pictures of her during her stay, and was quick to respond to any text messages. Holly was in great spirits the next day when I went to pick her up. Overall good experience, would recommend, and would use again in the future. Thanks Matt!”
“My doggos were taken such great care of during their stay! Highly recommended and will absolutely ask Patti and her husband to take care of my dogs again in the future.”
“Elizabeth boarded our 2 dogs (- Bulldog and a high energy young Cattle dog) for 7 days while we were on vacation. Excellent communication! I loved seeing the daily pictures of them and knowing they were in great hands while we were away. Our dogs are on day 2 of sleeping after boarding. ?. We will definitely request Elizabeth for upcoming/future stays.”
“Amber watched my dog Squid for two nights. Squid has bad separation anxiety and struggles being away from home. Amber was fantastic and our dog seemed to love staying at her place. We’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Ruchi & Nitin have been truly incredible sitters for our beloved dog. They have been extremely trustworthy and communicative. We really feel very grateful for their responsible, affectionate care they've provided.”
“Alesya, it's a fantastic discovery for our family. Our one-year-old Maltese Snowie has a great time staying with her and her family. I felt great when I met her! She is a lovely, responsible person. She also sends me daily reports, videos, and pictures of our little girl while she watches her. We definitely will book her again and refer her to our friends 🥰”

Where do I start? Sara went far above and beyond on multiple levels! I needed very last-minute boarding care over the holidays for my big, rambunctious Doberman mix and amazingly, Sara was available. Our meet and greet made me feel so confident about leaving my guy with her, and her frequent updates and photos throughout my trip just added to my confidence that he was in great hands with her. Additionally, Sara was very proactive and communicative when my pup had an off day - she gave me a thorough explanation of his symptoms and was very deferential to how I wanted to proceed. Thankfully it ended up being a non-issue, but I really appreciated her attentiveness. Lastly, when my return travel plans went comically awry, Sara didn’t bat an eye at keeping my guy for a whole extra day. Her flexibility and positivity made my bad travel day so much lighter. During a stressful trip, it was a huge gift to know that my pup was getting such good care - it’s clear that Sara is great with all animals and loves them like her own. I can’t recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again soon! Thank you, Sara! - Janine and Frodo
I cannot say enough good things about Meghan and Peter! To say I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week is an understatement. 🫣 After talking with Meghan for 5 minutes, I was completely comfortable and knew this was the right place for Clover. She is so kind, loving, and gentle. Her communication was detailed and I received pictures, updates, and reassurances. ❤️ Clover was SO happy to have 3 doggie friends to run and sniff with! (She honestly seems a little bored now at home! 😆) Peter was very generous in accommodating our pick up time, which really was above and beyond. Needless to say, I would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you! ☺️
