1. Jeff & Beth K.
“Our Frenchie couldn’t have been happier with them. They periodically texted with updates and sent lots of photos through the day. We profoundly appreciate their flexibility with our last minute and weird schedule. We look forward to using them in the future.”
2. Kelly L.
“We are so glad to have found Kelly. She cared for our 6 month old puppy for our first big trip since we got her — a little over a week. Kelly clearly loves dogs, and she takes the time to get to know potential clients (humans and canine) to make sure they’re a good fit. She was so patient with everything that comes with a puppy this young, including potty training confusion at a new place and not being comfortable being alone. We got lots of photos and videos while we were away, and Rotini came home happy and healthy.”
3. Karen M.
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”
4. Jennifer L.
“Jennifer took great care of my 6 year old dachshund, Winston while I was on vacation for a week. He can be a bit of an anxious boy so I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. She had a good handful of other dogs there, but sounds like she did a great job to make sure everyone got along and was comfy!”
5. Karen & Hisako N.
“Phoebe had a great time with Karen & Hisako. They shared photos and updated me throughout her stay. Phoebe came home happy and healthy, will be requesting their help again in the future.”
6. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian, again, were wonderful with Nada. We feel quite comfortable leaving her with them and will absolutely leave her with them again. Thank you both ❤️”
7. Kit Jon S.
“Kit took great care of our dog Oskar! I especially appreciated Kit’s updates while we were away, and it was our first time boarding Oskar at Kit’s place. I felt at ease, and Oskar was the happiest doggie when we picked him up after 2 weeks at Kit’s. Definitely recommend boarding your pup with Kit.”
8. Danielle M.
“Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!”
9. Lee J.
“Lee is incredible! We boarded our dog Mochi with her for two weeks while we traveled, and Lee took wonderful care of her. Mochi can be nervous around new people and dogs, and Lee made sure she was comfortable and safe in her care. Lee is also super communicative and responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”
10. Amanda A.
“Very kind! I chose cat boarding since I was moving and I didn’t want my boys to get out. When I went to drop them off, I was given all the time I needed to say bye to my babies.”
11. Mary C.
“This was Rex’s second stay with Mary and Murphy Brown and we couldn’t be happier! Mary is so great and patient with Rex! As a super senior he is on multiple meds and needs potty breaks quite frequently, and Mary jumped right in without skipping a beat. She was in constant communication and shared tons of photos to give me peace of mind during my trip! Rex will be back again next month!”
12. Chad A.
“Chad communicated frequently (but not too much :)) during our dog's stay. He provided several pictures which was also nice! Our boy is an anxious boy & Chad & his family were very patient with him! I am SO glad we chose to use Rover (and chose Chad) over boarding him at a boarding facility. We will definitely send Malone back to hang out with Chad!”
13. Laura & Patrick F.
“When dropping off my dog my immediate impression of the host Family and home dissipated all concerns for my dog who has attachment issues because of abandonment as a puppy, and who has never been boarded. I knew he would be well taken care of. Laura and Patrick are like the neighbors you wish you had. They sent me photos of the progression from sad dog to part of the Family. When I picked him up he was excited to see me, but actually turned to the host to say an emotional good bye. Thank you! I recommend this host and will definitely trust them with my pet again in the future. I am very grateful”
14. Anthony A.
“Nikita & Anthony are amazing dog sitters. I trusted them completely to take care of my older dog while I was out of town. Really sweet people and excellent communication- clearly dog lovers. 10/10 would recommend.”
15. Megan B.
“Megan was great! Sent plenty of updates and Zazu enjoyed his stay as he was able to sunbathe all weekend. Will definitely book again in the future!”
16. Christjane V.
“Christjane did a great job! My anxious dog had the time of his life! He got lots of big walks and was gifted a handmade bandana that she crafted herself. They followed instructions perfectly and created a wonderful environment for Nico. We will be returning!”
17. Cassandra L.
“cassandra was amazing at bonding with togi. it’s rare togi feels so comfortable and he felt right at home! she sent many updates on how he was doing and we felt very comfortable with togi staying there. we will definitely book cassie again for future trips! togi did have issues marking and cassie took the initiative to get a diaper (no peepee pad) and we were super impressed. she is a very responsible, kind, knowledgeable, and dog-oriented sitter.”
18. Mariola P.
“Mariola was fantastic. She is super nice and very communicative. Bailey took a day to adjust to the new setting but she did a great job making her comfortable. The rest of the days she was normal thanks to Mariola. I would definitely use or recommend Mariola.”
19. Kim T.
“Kim and her partner were amazing dog sitters! They sent timely, proactive updates and made sure my pup was well acclimated with their dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
20. Suzanne E.
“Suzanne is as awesome and professional as a sitter gets! This was our second time boarding our dogs with her and we could not be happier. I love her small dog only policy and the many precautions and safeguards she has in place to ensure a safe experience for all dogs under her care. She is very communicative, organized, and sends great pics of the pups having a blast in her beautiful yard. She was especially helpful and flexible when a sick child threw our travel plans into flux at the last minute. Book with Suzanne for a fantastic experience!”
