“Simply said, Melissa Loves Dogs and treated our dog like her own! This was our first time booking with Melissa and she did not disappoint. She’s professional, consistent, and attentive to every detail. We were gone for 10 days and received updates with pictures everyday both morning and evening. Her 3 dogs are friendly, playful and make great companions for a visiting new member of the family. Her home is set up perfect for dogs to hang out, play and safely go outside with a totally fenced-in backyard. Thank you Melissa for everything you do and we look forward to our next adventure. We’ve already rebooked another week next month! ?”
“First time using Rover and Chelsey B., couldnt be more pleased with our experience. Our dogs were very loved and taken care of. She gave us a great peace of mind with updates during their stay as well. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic! Let us know how our dog was doing all throughout the stay, and was very communicative. Super nice, and couldn’t recommend more. We will for sure use Lola for any future trips with our dog!”
“Nathan and Jacqueline did a fantastic job boarding our 4-month old puppy! They were happy to work with us and reinforce the training we had been doing with him and made sure he had plenty of outdoor time. So thankful for the communication and daily photos and videos they updated us with!”
“Rae and David are great to work with. They took care of my dog and provided updates and pictures throughout the time when they watched her. They also inquired about a possible issue they had noticed with her. Communication was top-notch with only one glitch related to drop-off that was resolved quickly. They were able to work with my travel plans, which were up in the air for a time. I think my dog enjoyed her stay and the companionship. I will not hesitate using Rae and David again if they are available. I'm glad they happened to have availability when it was needed.”
“Justin was great. He was very acccomodating and understanding of my unique services. He went above and beyond to make sure my upper was taken care of perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.”
“September did a wonderful job with our dog Digory. It was so nice knowing he was being so well taken care of and having such a great time while we were away! She sent lots of pictures of all the fun he was having which helped our kids so much while being away from him. We would definitely ask September to host Diggy again in the future!”
About: I've watched dogs and cats of friends, family and strangers on and off for the past 10 years. I have experienced with small to XL dogs, young and older! I’m a stay at home mom. Our boys are rarely home alone for more than a couple hours at a time, a couple days a week. I have a fenced yard and two boys that are ready to play. They have unlimited access to the yard, toys and water. We have a cat who is very friendly, but will most likely keep to himself.
“Chris, Erika and family made my Ellie part of their family during my 2-week trip to Africa. I could travel across the world knowing that my Ellie was in good hands. They communicated frequently and sent pictures throughout the 2 weeks. Being about 18 months old, Ellie needs to burn off a lot of energy and it was blistering hot and humid while I was gone. But they took Ellie on a good walk early every morning before the heat hit. If you want your dog to feel like they are in a home away from home, a stay with Chris, Erika and family will do just that. Thank you for your attentive care that allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my trip abroad.”
“Hank had a great time with Emily! He was very happy while with her and did not seem to miss us very much. The pictures and updates Emily sent were very much appreciated! We will definitely use Emily again!!!”
“De’Aysia was wonderful and very communicative! She kept me updated with regular videos and activities that’s Graham was doing and made sure that he got plenty of time inside,outside, and with other dogs.”
“If I could give her 6 stars I would (RECOMMEND) she will love your fur baby like it is her owns her and Luxe are a heavent sent combo so yes BOOK with Julianne my Gabe misses her already ❤️”
“Emily and her family were really nice to my cat! She send me updates/pictures throughout the day and answered quickly. Emily had a lot of toys for cats and Suki loved them. Will definitely recommend her and will use her service again in the near future!”
“Khanh was very accommodating with us, as we decided a last minute extension to our trip. Without any hesitation, she accepted. Peanut absolutely loved her and enjoyed her vegan dishes she provided! I wish we could give her more than 5 stars. Thank you Khanh for taking such great care of our Peanut while we were away! We will definitely be using her for future trips.”
About: I have 3 small rescued dogs and they love other dogs and enjoy playmates. We have a doggie door that they can access the yard from 6 AM to 9 PM. The yard is secure and the fence is 4 feet high. Your dog will get played with, loved and spoiled in my care. I do not anticipate any problem with my daily or weekly routine. I would not accept an assignment if I knew I was too busy that week. Your pet comes first with me. Your fur baby will be in great hands. We love dogs, and our dogs are very friendly and enjoy other dogs. I never get tired of giving attention to any animal.
“Kerstin is absolutely the BEST! Her and her family treated our energetic 20 month old German Shepard like if he was part of their family. She sent us pictures and updates on him every day. She is amazing with pets and has so much patience. We were so happy to find her she gave us such a relief on our 1st time vacation after getting Slinky. Definitely will be taking Slinky to Kerstin in a future. Don’t overthink it she is the BEST!!!”
“Sydney's family is very friendly and it was a pleasure to leave brinks with them for a week. Brinks seemed so happy when I got back, so I knew right away he was well taken care of. Their kids also seem to have fun playing with Brinks which was definitely a good match for a high energy pup. I'm incredibly happy with their service overall and look forward to using them again.”
