“Emilie and her dog Bear are so amazing cute and kind. Fiona and me felt so welcome and they take care of her so good. I got pictures and updates about her stay with Emilie and Bear. I have no words to say thanks and I would definitely book again with them.”


27. Patricia A.

“So many thanks to Patricia and her family for perfect taking care of my dog for 5 days! Rusty was so comfortable in their home and with their dogs that he ate perfectly (very unlike him) and played hard all day long. I think it was as much of a fun-filled vacation for him as it was for us. We will definitely be back!”




28. Alexandra S.


“Alexandra was great with Gromit. Sent regular updates and photos and when he had a minor injury (not her fault), she was very attentive and concerned. Thanks so much!”


29. Marcos F.

“Marcos is amazing! His positive energy and love creates a great environment for the dogs he cares for. I was so lucky to have found him on Rover. In addition, he has a lovely family! Stevie was a bit shy at first, each day that passed, the beautiful pics Marcos sent showed how Stevie had opened up and began playing with others. When I picked Stevie up, it was clear that she was having a great time. I highly recommend Marcos! He is friendly, professional, and passionate.”




30. Melissa K.


“Melissa and Henrique were great! Very accommodating to my schedule. They sent lots of pics of Sadie having a great time with their two kids. Sadie came home happy. I will definitely consider them next time Sadie needs a Dog Vacay!”


31. Janelle R.

“Janelle was amazing at keeping us updated about our little fur baby throughout the entire stay. Kiki always looked very happy and comfy in the videos and photos sent. She was super flexible with our schedules as well regarding pick-up and drop-off. We will definitely keep her in mind if we ever need to find a place for Kiki again. We really appreciate her!!”


32. Anna B.

“Anna, very attentive. She took good care of my dog. I left the dog for 2 days and she came home without stress. Next time we will do it again.”


33. John & Ryan K.

“Sensational!!!! My Nessie was immediately accepted into John and Ryan's healthy and happy home and I am beyond grateful as at the last minute I needed boarding for her with a minor complication. John and Ryan truly are the best and pure animal lovers. THANK YOU TWO!!! Can't say enough~”


34. Nyree Karina A.

“Nyree took great care of Toby. Will definitely go back to her. She kept us informed throughout with pictures. She loved him as much as we do.”


35. Larisa G.

“Larisa is a great caretaker! She responded quickly and sent photos/videos often - our shihtzu had a great time at her place! Highly recommend!”


36. Suzanne J.

“Suzanne was absolutely wonderful. She came over for a meet and great with Luna before watching her. She played with Luna and asked a variety of questions about Luna’s care plan. I instantly knew it was a great match. She gave me daily updates and sent a picture of Luna to reassure me she was settling in. She responds within a timely manner and has a professional demeanor. Suzanne comes highly recommended.”


37. jonathon t.

“Jonathan took great care of Basil and updated us the cutest pics of her. He has a backyard and so our pup sunbathed in it like she was on vacation. We are so excited to have found a sitter so close to us and so responsive. Thanks!”


38. Doug & Deb B.


“So great to have peace of mind while we are travelling! Stella is our senior dog and can be particular with people, we feel incredibly lucky to be able to leave her and feel safe!”




39. Felipe R.


“Felipe was such an amazing sitter! I was nervous leaving my new pup, Jefferson, for the first time, and Felipe made the experience so easy! He sent me daily updates, videos, and pictures. He was very patient with Jefferson, who is a puppy at heart still and still working out some quirks with walking from his year in the animal shelter. I cannot say enough about how positive our experience was! I will be rebooking Felipe for my next trip for sure! Thanks so much for everything!”


40. Sandra & Sorin A.

“Sandra & Sorin and family were amazing. They did everything possible to help my little Mini Schnauzer feel comfortable and part of the family. Pepper was confused when we dropped her off, but they gave her lots of comfort. Pepper was glad to see us, but not desperate like she has been at boarding kennels. We look forward to having Sandra & Sorin take care of her again in their safe, loving home. I highly recommend Sandra & Sorin for excellent, caring dog boarding and daycare.”
