Elba has been amazing for our Beagle Blue, this is the 3rd time we've left him with her and he enjoys been there. It has been a great experience for him since has learned how to play and behave with other dogs, Elba will continue to be our go to person for Blue's care whenever we need it
Isabel is AMAZING. This is our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Isabel! She could not be anymore attentive and loving with our dog, (anxious) Buttercup! Isabel was super communicative and her updates were informative and sweet. It’s clear she loved our dog as her own. I can’t imagine entrusting our dog to anyone but Isabel. We feel spoiled to have found Isabel—I know Buttercup was!
If there was a possibility to leave 10 stars, that’s what I would do! Sonia has super human turnaround and is super warm. Nado, our chocolate lab, got down from the car, rushed into her home to meet the other dogs and was utterly at home in seconds. Sonia & her husband also went above and beyond in helping me manage urgent travel logistics as I was making a health emergency trip. We already booked Nado’s next stay with Sonia!
Katie took such great care of my pup while I was traveling for work! I greatly appreciated her proactive communication, responsiveness, and consideration. Her genuine love of animals and kindness shines through. She will treat your pup as her own. I highly recommend Katie’s services!
Hello, good afternoon! I would like to thank you for the way Malique took care of our dog Rocky. He is very dear to our family, and we are absolutely sure that he had an excellent stay. Thank you very much, and as soon as we need it again, we will definitely get in touch.
