Barb was fantastic! We chose her because of her experience with dogs of all ages, especially older pups. Although our pup was a bit nervous, she seemed to settle in well and made herself at home. Really appreciated the updates and pics to let us know all was good.

Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.

Justin & Stephanie were great. We asked for a last minute booking and they immediately said yes. Many pictures were sent and even a video. Our chocolate lab had a great time!

My puppy stayed with Sharon for 3 days and I’m so lucky to have found her. I live 40 minutes away but she’s worth it. Her dog, Belle, is such a sweetie. The place is clean and the backyard as well. My dog is a little bit mischievous but Sharon handled him very well and he was very happy there. I highly recommend Sharon for everyone who wants to board their dogs, she loves dogs and will go extra miles to take of your dog. You will have no worries leaving your dogs with her.

Olive recently spent 8 nights with Jen. Jen was wonderful. I received 3-4 texts a day with lots of photos. Olive went on 2 or more long walk each day, got lots of love and plenty of belly rubs. Jen and her husband treated her as their own and she fit right in!

This was our first time staying with Yvonne, Joe and Quincy. They have a beautiful patio and a good size backyard for sunning and exploring. Our dog Lilly loves Quincy (and Yvonne and Joe) and made a few new friends during her staycation. We were sent numerous pictures several times every day which was AWESOME!! Really confirmed that we could enjoy our vacation knowing that Lilly was in a great environment. We highly recommend them and we definitely will use them again in the future.

Andrea is AMAZING !! We had never left our dog with anyone other than family and I was nervous. Andrea invited us into her home so our dog could meet her family before booking- which put my mind at ease. She communicated with us our entire trip sending videos and photos. My shy dog was running around and cuddling with her the entire time. I’m pretty sure our dog misses her already. Very thankful we found Andrea !!

Claudia took such amazing care of my dog! She shared lots of photos and detailed updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She not only took him out for walks but also played with him at home and even let him snuggle with her at night. My pup absolutely adored her — when it was time to leave, he even sat on the lawn refusing to go, with watery eyes. It’s clear he felt very loved and happy with Claudia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💛🐾

Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.

Bingley and his humans couldn't be happier when he gets to stay with Megan, Jake and Duncan. He's thrilled with the attention and activity he gets and we're relaxed knowing that he has the best care possible. We all hit the jackpot.

Our dog Bella stayed with Jill, Tommy, and their dogs when went on vacation. Bella stayed with them for a few daycare days prior to her week long stay. They were very welcoming and friendly. They took such great care of Bella. They updated us daily on how Bella was doing, along with pictures of her daily activities. This really made us enjoy our vacation even more knowing she was well cared for. They took her in as part of their family. We will definitely utilize them for day care and overnight stays in the future.
