“River had a great stay with Rosan. He had a great time playing with his dog Oggie. Rosan sent pictures every day and we were confident that he was in great hands. Highly recommend.”
“John was super prompt in responding to my initial query about dog-sitting, and incredibly communicative while we were away. It was wonderful to receive daily pictures of my dog running around in his yard with his dogs. I recommend wholeheartedly!!!”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Once again an awesome stay and welcome received for my child . He truly enjoyed his stay every time! The videos and pictures are phenomenal and beautiful! Thank you !”
“I left my dog with Peter for 6 days and I am very appreciative of the service he provided! He was very kind to my dog, gave her plenty of walks and the communication was perfect. He made sure to verify the important things and provided me with well timed updates without my asking which I thought was extremely kind and well thought out. This man clearly knows what he is doing and cares about the clients he takes on. I would 10/10 recommend him to any one looking to board their dog for an extended amount of time!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy with the dog sitter and we were feeling nervous but Jackie did a good job with our puppy. He played with him to make him feel relaxed. He also sent daily photos updates and great communication.”
“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling pretty anxious to be honest. Anneke was so great, willing to do a meet and greet to make sure honey was comfortable, and provided regular updates/ photos while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ruchi was a wonderful care provider for our 11 year old Yorkie. He had 5 fabulous days being spoiled and pampered. Ruchi was great at sending me pictures and updating me throughout his stay .”
“Our dog Sadie has a traumatic background so we were very anxious to find a great opportunity to be well taken care off . A kennel would not have worked for Sadie. Laura and her family provided Sadie with a safe and nurturing home. They eased our fears of leaving her by sending daily pictures or video and text messages keeping us up to date. From now on if we ever need to leave town this is where she will stay. Thank you Laura so much for you TLC.”
“Kayla was great with our eight month old puppy, Edna! Edna is super high energy and can be a lot with new people, but Kayla quickly made her comfortable. We came home to a happy sleeping puppy and plan to have Kayla take care of her in the future.”
“Second time using Brooke and will use her again as often as I can. She's fantastic. Smooth pickup/drop-off, great communication, and just makes everything easy. On top of that, my pup has a great time hanging with her dog Bailey and going on long daily walks. She brought me back a tired and happy pup! Thanks Brooke!”
“Eric and his family were absolutely wonderful hosts and caregivers for our girl, Ellie! We received updates and pictures of Ellie, living her very best life while she was boarding with them. It set us so at ease while we enjoyed our wedding anniversary trip, knowing our pup was so cared for and loved on. Don’t look any further, Eric is the best!!”
“Cia was wonderful with our small dog! She has a friendly, calm demeanor that I think dogs respond well to. Her home was spacious and clean, she sent photos and updates every day, and went out of her way to make sure our dog felt comfortable while we were away. Would absolutely recommend her!”
