1. Brenda J.
“I would 100% recommend Brenda. This was the first vacation that I have been on without Casey that I did not worry about him at all! He was having so much fun and getting so much attention that I felt like he was on vacation too. Brenda sent an update and pictures every day. She even bought him extra treats and gave him a bath! It's so nice knowing we have someone that treats Casey like we do. I would have never met Brenda without Rover. Thank you Rover!”
2. Leslie M.
“We are so very happy with the care that Leslie and her husband provided to Sarge. We had a trip out of the country and were nervous about leaving him for an extended period of time. After meeting Leslie, I was very relaxed. She kept me informed, sent me pictures and my pup had a wonderful time. I am so happy with her and I highly recommend her.”

6. Elizabeth & Kevin F.
“My Springer Spaniel stayed 8 nights with Elizabeth & Kevin. This was the first time I left him that long. He had a great time playing with new dog friends and snuggling on the coach. I felt at ease my entire vacation knowing he was in good hands and having fun. Thankful I can go away again in the future knowing he has a great place to stay.”

“Anna was great! Very communicative while our dogs were with here via pictures and text. I could tell they were having a great time there. We will definitely use Anna in the future!”
8. Stacy P.
“Stacy is the best! My fur baby stayed with her for two periods of time, the last one was ten days long. Stacy was very flexible with the drop-off and pick-up time. She updated my fur baby's status everyday with photos and responded to messages quickly. It meant the world to me knowing my fur baby is in good hands. Thank you for the great care!”
9. Sarah H.
“Sarah was amazing! I am very skeptical leaving my dogs with other people because they can be a handful, but Sarah made sure I felt comfortable being very responsive and sent pictures/videos along the way! She had a huge fenced in back yard for my high energy puppy to run around in and even part of her fence could be blocked off for my senior dog if need be. She was also very flexible with me as my timing to pick them up changed, since I was coming from out of town.”
10. Tabatha D.
“Tabatha was great. She thought of everything for Brighton. I know he was comfortable at her house and had fun with her dogs. I will definitely use her again.”
11. Annie S.
“Annie and Grandma Grace are amazing! Lily loved her sleep over with them and can't wait to go back for another sleepover. Annie sent us lots of updates and sent Lily home with the cutest card telling us about her stay with them. I highly recommend Annie and Grandma Grace to anyone who wants to have their fur baby treated like a part of their family.”
12. Mara G.
“Mara was very easy and flexible to work with. She took great care of my Great Dane, and we have already booked a second visit with her. Thank you again!”
13. Kosta & Margaret M.
“They were awesome. Brighton feels like he’s in his second home when he’s there. I have peace and confidence that Brighton is being loved and cared for when he is there.”
14. Daniel S.
“Daniel was a godsend! He took care of our dog - Ringo, as if he were his own. He sent us constant updates throughout the stay (photos and his daily routine), and made us feel at ease every step of the way while we were away. We would not hesitate to leave Ringo with Daniel at any point in time in the future. Thank you so much Daniel!”
15. Lianlian C.
“Lianlian was a great caretaker for my two pups while I was out of town. She responded promptly to all of my inquiries and treated the pups with kindness. She was responsible and demonstrated professionalism at all times. I would definitely contact her again in the future.”
16. Laura M.
“Laura did such a wonderful job caring for Miss Grey. She made sure Miss Grey ate and was patient with her ptsd. Thanks so much Laura. We are visiting you again soon.”
17. Tatiana L.
“Alfie stayed with Tatiana and her super friendly pup Cheeto for a week while we were on vacation. Each evening I got an update with plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun Alfie was having, running and sniffing in the huge back yard, even making friends with her pet ferret! She let him sleep in her bed at night (sorry that he snores Tatiana!) and he got to hang out with her and the other pups thru the day . She obviously loves all animals and I wouldn't hesitate to take my dog back for a stay & play! Thank you for the peace of mind while we were away, it meant so much!”
18. Jennifer K.
“Jennifer was awesome. Pampered my dog and definitely made her feel like she was on vacation while I was as well 🤣🤣. Definitely bringing Kylie back here. She is the best!”
19. Quincy H.
“She was very good with my dog. I liked it that her daughter enjoyed dogs. I think they were best friends t/o boarding. My dog loves children and doesn't get to be around them where I live. He loved his boarding time and I know she took great care of him, he would of went back home with them. Highly recommend her.”
20. Emily C.
