Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!

We had a great experience with Kellene taking care of our pup. She was very responsive before and during the stay, and sent many updates/photos. Ozzy and coco got along great and it was nice to have a meet and great before to make sure the stay would go well. She treated Ozzy like her own pup and took him for walks, lots of play time and cuddles. We couldn’t ask for anything more!

Stacey and her husband were extremely sweet and welcoming to my girl Joon. I loved that they had a well-lit fenced in yard and treated Joon like their own. We will gladly book again in the future!

Lisa took great care of my dog while I was away for about a week! She sent lots of cute and cozy pictures of him hanging out with her animals and was always easy to get in touch with. She also did a good job handling his food aggression and making adjustments to make things work for everyone. I’d definitely recommend her!

Amy and her family were absolutely amazing. My dog, who is normally very fearful of new people, warmed up to them so quickly and I could tell he had so much fun during boarding based on how well he slept when he got home! This was my first experience using Rover and I was nervous but Amy made mine and my dog’s experience a great one; I would 100% board with Amy again!!

We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀

Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz

Wendy did a great job taking care of our dog when we were away! This was our first time leaving him overnight for several consecutive nights, and he did very very well. Wendy sent pics every day showing him being his usual doggie self. I know he had so much fun hanging out with Batman too. When our return travel plans were delayed, Wendy was very accommodating to all the changes regarding our pickup. We would definitely recommend Wendy!

I’ve always had my family watch our pups but since we got a new puppy last year, we knew we’d need to start exploring other options. It’s a bit overwhelming when you’ve always relied on family but Hannah made me feel at ease right away. Our pup came home tired and it was nice not to worry the entire time we were away. We’ll definitely use her in the future.

This was our third time having Katie take care of our dog, Mylo, and she has been consistently wonderful. Her communication is excellent. She’s always helpful, informative, and keeps us updated. Mylo can be on the nervous side when he’s away from home, but he genuinely seems to enjoy his time with her. Katie does everything she can to make him feel comfortable and at home, which gives us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her.

Benny has been at Kathy's before for daycare. This was his first overnight stay. Kathy is so good about keeping me updated with pictures and treats Benny like he is one of her own. After some not so good experiences at other facilities I'm thrilled that Benny feels so comfortable at Kathy's and loves to play with her little doggo.

We had a great experience with Kellene! She took excellent care of Izuku and was incredibly thoughtful, she even had an extra jacket for him when it got cold. Other sitters have mentioned that Izuku can be a bit stubborn on walks, but he had no issues with Kellene. Communication was perfect, just the right amount of updates throughout the trip. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.

Rebecca and Dave were so amazing with my little Boston Terrier. They communicated professionally and answered all my questions up front. It was my dog's first night away, and they provided updates throughout the day making me feel 100% comfortable. Daisy had a ball with their dogs and their kids--it was like a mini-vacation for my pup. I would highly recommend them to others looking for a fun & loving family to care for their dogs.

We’ve used Joe and his wife twice in the past month to watch our dogs. The first time was for a 10-day trip out of the country. Our dogs can be a bit skittish but we’re comfortable and well-cared for while we were away. I appreciated the daily check-ins to let me know all was going well.

Madeline did AMAZING with our 20 year old pup (yes, you read that right.) I was nervous leaving our ancient dog with someone and Madeline was the best I could have asked for. She didn't shy away from the challenge at all and she managed all of the complexities of caring for Koko and coordinating drop off and pickup. She is the best! Don't hesitate to book her again.
