Shelly is always the best with my baby girl. I know I’ve got nothing to worry about when my dog is on the farm. I won’t take my Astrid to anyone else.

Very flexible and willing to assist in very unorthodox situations. She demonstrated true caring and interest for my 9 month old German shepherd puppy and went out of her way to accomodate me and him.

Rachel was amazing, thoughtful, communicative with pictures of Egg throughout our trip. I highly recommend her as a Rover hire. Also, Rachel kept Egg active with her fenced in yard and when we picked her up she was happy and pooped!

Megan was amazing I recently boarded my rescue Prince for the first time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Megan took such amazing care of Prince during his two-night stay. She went above and beyond—sending me some of the best photos and videos I’ve ever had of him, including clips of him playing and socializing with larger dogs (which was a first for him!). It meant so much to see him having that kind of fun and confidence. Megan also kept me updated with daily “doggy report cards” and personalized notes, which were such a thoughtful touch. When I picked him up, it was clear he had an incredible time—he was almost sad to leave! He even made a new best friend with her dog, Kava. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Megan gave, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Armonee. My dogs first time with a boarder and she could not have made things easier for him and me. Her communication is top tier with regular texts, photos and concerns. She is caring, gentle and tailors her approach to fit the animals needs, like she did with my special needs senior dog. She treats pets like they are her own and it is obvious from the moment you meet her. I trusted her completely and will be rebooking with her in the future. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a safe and loving place for your pet. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.

What an amazing experience. This is the first time my boys have ever been boarded and they were treated like they were her own. They played with other dogs, got socialized by an expert. I am not sure they wanted to come home. This is the only person they will board with again.

This was our first time leaving our puppy, and it seems that we weren't missed at all. James was very professional during the booking process, and was very thorough in making sure he understood everything he needed to know about Otis (who is very low maintenance, but I appreciated James' attention to detail.) I wish I had more to constructively report, but when everything goes exactly according to plan, all that remains for me to say is "Thanks, James!!!"

About: I’ve owed 4 Labrador retrievers, and still currently have two, one is my duck dog and one’s my old retired boy. I love animals. We enjoy daily walks, and mental stimulation! They get plenty of outdoor time as well as one on one time! I’m currently working as an estimator from home so I have plenty of free time for animals and making sure they get the proper care they need while under my supervision! I have all necessities for animals. I have an out door dog run, I have indoor kennels, I have a designated area inside, I give mental stimulation toys and treats. I make sure the dogs are going outside atleast every two hours insuring the have there energy out and not missing any potty breaks man

Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙
