1. Andy G.


“Boarded my dog for 9 days and came home to find her happy and healthy! Appreciated the daily photos, seems like she had a great time there and settled in nicely.”


2. Sky G.

“Sky was amazing with my senior dog! From the moment we did the meet and greet with her own gentle, friendly dogs, I knew my pup was in good hands. Sky took extra time to understand my dog’s special needs, asking thoughtful questions about her routine, health, and comfort. As an older dog owner, I appreciated how attentive and patient she was, making sure my dog felt safe and well cared for. The daily photo and video updates were a wonderful reassurance, and it was clear my dog was happy and relaxed. I can’t recommend Sky enough, especially for those with senior pets who need that extra bit of care and attention!”


3. Michael Y.

“Michael was phenomenal as he took care of Sammy, my beagle. He was friendly and communicative and Sammy enjoyed staying with him. I highly recommend Michael.”


4. Elizabeth M.

“Elizabeth is the absolute best! She took care of my nervous pup while I was away for 2 weeks and I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my sweet girl in someone else’s care. Elizabeth sent ample updates and cute photos and took JenniFUR on lots of fun walks. Most importantly, she was extremely patient with JenniFUR and gave her time and space to feel more comfortable in her surroundings. I look forward to using Elizabeth’s services again in the future!”


5. Chad C.

“Chad and Regina were great caretakers for my small dog. This was my first time using them and I will definitely book with them again. I appreciated the regular updates and communication through my trip!”


6. Karen & Maria S.

“They were amazing! They have our little Guy so much love and attention while we were away. Karen was also very responsive and provided photos of our pup daily. We will definitely use Karen and Maria again the next time we are away.”


7. Krystal S.

“Krystal did a great job taking care of our dog, Scooby, both times we booked with her. She sent us daily updates that included pictures. Additionally, Krystal provided Scooby with the extra assistance he needed (as a dog who is blind) to get around a new, unfamiliar environment so that he could become comfortable and relax. She also provided Scooby with extra care and love when he was woken up by a thunderstorm in the middle of the night and became anxious.”


8. Shanti S.

“Shanti took such great care of our dog and made him instantly feel part of the family! We loved the regular updates and could tell he was having a blast and getting absolutely spoiled. Our dog can’t wait to stay with her again! We cannot recommend her enough!”


9. Mac H.

“Mac was an outstanding host for Chuck! Mac was great about scheduling on the front end, remained communicative throughout, and was super attentive to Chuck’s needs and preferences. Chuck was happy and calm when we picked him up. Will definitely keep Mac in mind for future care needs!”


10. Anne Marie V.

“Anne Marie warmly welcomed my little guy Hudson into her home! She sent photos, updates and took care of him just like her own. Will absolutely use her again next time I’m away.”


11. Alejandro L.


“Alex and Daniel are absolutely wonderful. My little guys are usually VERY slow to warm up to new people, but when we arrived at the meet and greet they were instantly comfortable with them. I was kind of shocked, because it was so unlike how they typically respond to strangers, but I guess it's true that dogs really are the best judge of character :-). Alex and Daniel have a beautiful home that is warm and inviting. They are kind, caring, and responsible individuals, and most importantly, I know my dogs are safe in their care. I am a super nervous pet parent, but their attention to detail and frequent updates helps to put my mind at ease while I'm away. When I pick up my little ones, they are happy to see me, but not stressed or frantic, and they don't need to "recover" once we get home. It's very clear that it's a relaxing, comfortable, non-stressful experience for them. I really can't say enough good things about Alex and Daniel, and I'm so, so grateful for them!”


12. Justin & Jeremy S.


“Justin and Jeremy were amazing! They took great care of Atlas and were super flexible with the dates and times because I had to extend the stay last minute. I got photos and videos through the stay and I could see that she was enjoying herself. Highly recommend!”


13. Nina C.


“Nina continues to be awesome!! She let us know day by day how Winston was doing and anything she noticed. She takes such good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her!!”


14. Christina D.

“Christina was very communicative, which I appreciate, and did a good job carong for my difficult pup.”


15. Leonard & Kathryn J.

“Leonard and Kathryn were wonderful! They sent great pictures everyday and Pike came back worn out from his trips to the dog park. I could tell he was extremely well cared for and became a temporary member of their family. Highly recommend and have already booked another visit.”


16. Erin F.

“Thanks so much for hosting Remy during the eclipse. He had a great time and we could tell he was well cared for. And the scheduling flexibility gave us the ability to do the trip!”


17. Nathan P.

“Nathan was super low key about hosting our dogs. We know they can be a bit difficult, but Nathan managed them well with no issues that we could detect. He even washed the dog blankets we had sent with the dogs!”


18. Haydenn H.

“We have had the same Rover sitters for many years. After a recent move, we knew we needed someone else to take care of our furry friend. In comes Hayden & Athena. Haydenn took great care of Maxwell! It was great for him to have a built in playmate with Athena since we don’t have any dogs near our new place.”


19. Erica Joy T.

“Lupa had the BEST time with EJ, we're already booked in for our next visit! Very flexible and lots of photos/ongoing communication. Highly recommend!!”


20. Christine J.

“Christine was very kind and Jolene seemed happy to be there! Her kids are very kind and clearly know how to interact with dogs, even more anxious ones. I would definitely board Jolene with Christine again in the future.”
