“Where do I begin, Sarah is AWESOME! This is my first time using Rover and we had a GREAT experience with Sarah & Minnie. The experience was great; Sarge had a blast with Minnie and Rosie. He was so happy the whole time he was there. He feel in love with Rosie, Minnie and Sarah. Sarah updated me everyday with photos and videos of Sarge and it just made my HEART SMILE because she showed him so much love and attention while we were on vacation. Sarge was sad when he had to leave his 2 BEST furry friends when his stay was over. I will most definitely use Sarah again!”



“ESTHER IS THE BEST EVER!!! This review is long overdue - Esther has taken care of our rat terrier several times over the past few years from a short three-day to almost a month's stay at her happy hale. She knows dogs so well and has a special, gentle and wise way with them. She and her family provide a wonderful, nurturing home and very safe, organized environment ~ full of guidance, comfort with oodles of great spots to lounge, friendship (with other dogs and humans too), security and lots of love & aloha. She is always attentive to our grrrl's particular needs, which include daily doses of play & exercise, response to her little quirks and fears, and that she definitely benefits from the healthy socialization there. Esther's hale is the only place we feel comfortable leaving her at. We look forward to the precious daily photos, which show just what a fabulous time our grrrl is having. Esther is truly a gift! Mahalo nui & aloha!”

“Allison was great with Ziggy. I was even worried if Ziggy will be willing to go home with us lol.. You can tell that Allison really loves taking care of pups. She was constantly sending us pictures and videos of Ziggy. I will definitely use her services next time I need help boarding Ziggy.”


“Tamara was amazing with Gizmo. Originally booked her for one night but we had to extend a couple more nights and she responded very quick. She has a lot of space in her house and backyard for my dog. She always sent me updated photos daily. I would definitely use her service again and I knew my dog enjoyed her time with Tamara her pups.”


“Allison and her husband have a great and welcoming space that appeared great for our girl. They were also both very friendly and warm upon meeting us. I very much appreciated all the communication efforts being responded-to timely and the photos during her stay. We will definitely use Allison again!”


“Araceli was AMAZING taking care of our fur babies. This is the longest we’ve left them with someone else and they did great. We have a very anxious one who gets nervous with new people and she was so comfortable with Araceli. Could not be more grateful for her watching our babies at the last minute and being so accommodating with our pick-up time. She sent photos and updated us daily which really put us at ease. Definitely leaving our babies with her again when we need. 🤍”


“Delta took very good care of my puppy during the visit. She is very communicative and even spend time to train some basic commands with the puppy. She was ready on time during drop off and during pick up as well. Definitely recommend to anyone and will book for my future bookings.”


“Annie beyond exceeded my expectations. We had just gotten Sandy but we already had an event planned for a while and did not factor her so I was so so hesitant to leave her at all. But Annie dashed away and all fears as she was extremely communicative, receptive, and accepting of my neurotic, specific care instructions. The updates and pictures Annie sent of Sandy playing and hanging with Annie’s loving pups, Riley and Chico, made Sandy feel accepted and comfortable while away from home. Thank you so much Annie, we will DEFINITELY be using her again!!”



“This was my dogs third stay with Tambre. Like the previous two stays, the dogs were "at home" at Tambre's. I received photos and updates everyday. If you're looking for a place to leave your dogs where they are well cared for, I'd highly recommend Tambre. My first review of Tambre further explains why I am so confident with her care!”


“Skylar is a great dog sitter. Our dogs were treated like family, and they loved their time with Skylar. From daily updates to ensuring they had plenty of playtime, we felt as ease. Definitely recommend Skylar 👌🏼”


“Diana is an amazing sitter who took exceptional care of my puppy. She truly loves animals and provides them with the same care and attention that you would give. I really appreciated the regular updates and pictures she sent while looking after my pet. I am very happy with her services and will definitely continue to rely on her for my puppy’s care.🥰😊”


“John was amazing with my camino girl. Strongly recommend using him to watch your precious pets. He kept me updated with pictures and comments on camino. She was a happy pup when I dropped her off and picked up a week later.”


“Luke and Leia really enjoyed their stay with Karen. We were able to relax knowing they were both in good hands. We loved receiving all the pictures and updates on them daily. It’s very stressful finding people we feel comfortable leaving our pups with. We will definitely be using her again.”



“Wonderful. Took good care of our pup. Very communicative. Sent photos every day with brief reports. Then she sent him home with a goodie bag and a report card! We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again.”


“My dog usually has a tough time getting along with other dogs, but not with Cody! He really has a knack for dogs and being the pack leader! I will definitely be reaching out to Cody to take care of Lucy again.”


“My dogs were excited to stay with Melodi and her family. They kept me updated with how my pups were doing and sent me a video showing me they were being well taken care of. Highly recommend Melodi and her family. They treated my pups like their own and I greatly appreciate that!”


“Nash was fantastic with Nova and Cash! Reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs—ours came home happy and relaxed. We felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Nash to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“Heather is an exceptional dog sitter we’ve ever found for our fur baby, Kayla! When we’re away, Kayla usually gets anxious and doesn’t eat much. However, Heather’s loving care and attention made all the difference. She fed Kayla her favorite food and even placed it in a heart-shaped bowl, making it extra special. Heather ensured Kayla felt like home and went above and beyond to make her stay enjoyable. She played with her, took her on walks, and maintained her usual routine. Heather truly cared for Kayla as if she were her own pet. Her kindness and care made our trip stress-free, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Kayla misses Heather dearly, and we’ll definitely board her again when we travel in the future.”


“She was kind and caring with my cats. Sent me pics and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I had a unique situation and she was flexible to work with me to make the stay work out. Thank you so much.”
