Had the best experience with Lauren taking care of my 1 year old puppy for 5 days while I was on a trip. Miller had the best time and made lots of new friends! I recieved many pictures and updates which made me feel so much more relieved to know that Miller was having a blast. Will definitely be using Lauren again for boarding!

There is a lot to be said for peace of mind. That's what Mona provides. She is competent, stable and considerate. In addition to being pleasant and easy to deal with, you can tell that she could handle any unforeseen situation. She is retired and able to spend time with the animals in her care. On an overnight stay, she maintained good communication and included photos. Her text was filled with the kind of info a pet parent wants to know, not kid-stuff trivia about having fun. Her house is charming, clean and in a nice safe neighborhood. A fenced in back yard is "must" for my busy Aussie. Highly recommend..

I would give Amy 15 stars if I could. She gave me the best first experience of dog sitting that I could’ve possibly asked for. She truly did treat my little yorkie, Mongo, like family and I didn’t expect to feel SO comfortable leaving him with someone that I previously didn’t know before. She went above and beyond for him and I appreciate that beyond words. For example: she baked homemade dog treats for him the day of, she let him sleep on her bed with her (SLEEP ON HER BED - that’s how comfortable and happy he was while staying with her), she sent multiple photos and updates a day, and was extremely flexible when it came to times and planning for the stay. This was hands down the best experience I could’ve asked for and I am beyond grateful for the wonderful service she provided me and my baby Mongo. She loved him as if he has been part of her life since he was a puppy and she took the better care of him than most people would expect. Mongo will for sure be visiting her and her sweet pup, Cola, in the future and I am sure he’ll be excited. He had a great time staying with her and that is all thanks to her. Thank you so much for the wonderful care and love you provided my baby, Amy, thank you so so much!!!

Kim was amazing! She maintained great communication all throughout my pet’s stay with pictures included. She works very well with dog behavior and adequate pet introductions. She’s very cautious and likes to makes sure your pet is comfortable in her home.

Claudia did a wonderful job of taking care of my sweet dogs. I had a last minute trip out of town and Claudia agreed to take care of 2 dogs for me for 5 days. I couldn’t have asked for a more kind and caring environment for them.

Aimee was very sweet and gentle with our little old man. Our dog enjoyed his time with her. She regularly communicated with us during his stay, keeping us updated with photos and videos. She also honored each of our requests regarding his care ( ie. feeding & medication).

Alexandra is an amazing pet sitter! She recently looked after my cat while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a more caring and responsible caregiver. Not only did she ensure that my cat's basic needs were met, but since my cat is a very active kitty who needs a lot of attention, she also took the time to play with her and give her the attention she needed! She also made sure to keep me updated with very cute pictures of my cat when I was missing my cat most, and her communication was very consistent and reliable so I was never worried. I also trusted Alexandra to take care of my pet because of her various experience fostering animals in the past. I know that she has had experience fostering a variety of animals with different personalities and needs, and has provided a loving environment for all of them. She truly cares about these animals, and it really shows. I couldn't recommend anyone better to take care of your pets!

Kathleen was amazing with my littles. Our dogs range from 13 years to 7 months and she knew exactly how to make all of them comfortable. She sent video updates frequently and I never had to worry about how they were doing. Her yard is completely fenced so there is no risk of anyone wandering off. The visit was amazing. I could tell immediately how much Kathleen loves animals. I would leave my babies with her again!

Lisa Lisa Lisa!!! I cannot say enough about Lisa! Lisa was timely, professional, and friendly when we first made contact on Rover. She was very communicative and immediately set up a time and day that fit in with my schedule to meet up. During the meet and greet my doggy immediately gravitated to her and they had fun playing. Once we agreed on her watching my doggy she continued to be communicative, asked pertinent questions, and even assisted me when I had difficulty with the app. Throughout my doggy’s stay she stayed in contact according to my guidelines and sent pictures and videos! My doggy seemed so happy and love was reciprocated. Upon my doggy’s return she was happy, any concerns was appropriately reported to me, and everything was returned with no issues. Lisa truly went above and beyond and we would love to rebook with her if she is available and would like to watch my doggy again 🤗

I’m super happy that Elias made my dog, Eggy, feel really comfortable! He was super friendly to me and Eggy and although Eggy was nervous at first, he was extremely patient and caring until my dog felt good. I was nervous at first to leave Eggy because he doesn’t do so well with strangers, but he felt right at home with Elias who was very caring and attentive! I definitely super recommend him :)

So thankful for Jillian who has been so kind and patient with our aging Cookie. As she gets older and has more accidents (totally foreign to us), Jillian has been everything filled with understanding and loving toward Cookie. Hoping she'll be willing to watch her for us in future stays ?

From the moment I met her, I had full confidence in Brenda because she told me that she wants to be a veterinarian!!! When I reunited with Kaussie, it was evident that Kaussie had already fallen in love with Brenda and her family due to the exceptional care he received. Also, Scooby played so well with Kaussie that I was overjoyed to see Kaussie make a new friend. Most of all, Brenda's backyard is incredibly spacious and securely fenced, so Kaussie might have been reluctant to come back to his home, lol. Choosing Brenda might have been a coincidence, but I truly believe it was the luckiest decision I made!
