“Ren and family provided such an amazing boarding experience for my dog. Their love for dogs really shows through and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands and was being treated like a member of their family. My dog had such a good time, when I came to pick him up he didn't want to leave!”
“This is the third time we’ve had Sophia watch Shiloh, and I can guarantee it won’t be the last. She provided Shiloh with excellent care, and gave frequent updates! It was great to know that Shiloh was in good hands!”
“Thank you, John! As always, Winnie absolutely adores being with you and it makes me feel at ease knowing he’s under your care while I’m away.”
“Woyni went above & beyond to make our two pups feel at home and well taken care of while we were out of town. She accommodated our challenging schedule and responded to all of our messages quickly. Thank you so much for keeping our girls happy. We would highly recommend you!”
“Gracie is truly the best! She is so kind and is amazing with my puppy!! She’s who I always go to first! Will keep using her! Highly recommend”
“Gail and Kris are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and fun. Their home is clean, tidy, and pet friendly. Mack (our 35 lb Boston Terrier) had the absolute best time while staying with them for the first time. And their photography skills are beyond. When I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave! We will absolutely be returning!”
“Jingming and her husband are the most stellar sitters we've had in a while!! I love how accommodating and detailed Jingming is with her daily informative updates of how our husky Varian was behaving, such as number of walks, poops, interactions with other dogs, and lots of QUALITY pictures and videos! Varian looked sooo happy and came back exhausted. I appreciate everything they have to offer and will definitely be using their services again! They are incredibly nice people and have the ideal clean environment and dedicated space for furbabies to really enjoy themselves. It's unfortunate that I can only give a max of 5 stars on here =P . 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Yuhui is always amazing with Jax! We will continue to book with her anytime we need a dog sitter! She’s kind, patient, and always responsive!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay with Pam and her daughter. They made him feel at home and we will use Pam any time that we cannot bring him with us. Highly recommend!”
“Talina took great care of Sammy! We were really happy and Sammy seemed to enjoy her time away! Thanks for taking such great care of my pup! Emily”
“We did a meet and great with Ivan and my dog felt comfortable with him. He does have a dog and I was excited for my pup to have a playmate during her visit. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up. His home was safe for a dog and he has a fenced in back yard. He sent pictures of my pup in various places in his home, yard and on a walk.”
“This family home is great for boarding a young and energetic dog who gets along with both kids and dogs. Adam and Jill have a fenced backyard and two pups of their own, which was great for keeping our 8-month old pup Kiki active. They accepted Kiki on a very short notice and sent us updates and pictures. They also gave Kiki the medications she needed.”
“Nithya helped us out and cared for our boy very well. I can tell by the pictures and videos that he enjoyed himself. I will be reaching out to her in the future.”
“This was Troy's first time ever boarding anywhere so naturally I was very nervous about him adjusting to new people and to a new home. Fortunately, Evvery was such a natural and had Troy well adjusted in her home in just a matter of minutes! She even accommodated Troy's huge crate and kept me updated with beautiful pictures of Troy walking by the lake! Will definitely be boarding with her again soon. Thank you Evvery!”
“Kevin took great care of my dog over the holiday weekend! Communication was smooth, and my dog came home happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with them again!”
“I was in a tough bind because I needed a dog sitter at the last minute. I’m extremely grateful that Rachel and Rick were available. Since I wasn’t sure how long I would need a sitter, they were very flexible with their schedule, which I greatly appreciated. They sent me daily updates and photos of Bella, and I would highly recommend them in the future.”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking such great care of my sweet Kenzie this weekend 🐾💕. You were amazing—always keeping me updated, sending the cutest pictures, and being so gentle and patient with her, especially with her being blind. It really meant a lot to me to know she was safe, loved, and in such good hands. I also appreciate you letting me know about the little accident in her kennel 💦—you were so honest and attentive, and that shows just how much you care. You’re truly such a kind and loving person, and it shows in the way you treated Kenzie. I will definitely be using you again in the future! 🥰🐶 Thank you again!”
“Kira was great with our dog Jazz! You can see the love and care she has for dogs, and she treats them as your own. Great communication as well. We will definitely use her again!”
“She’s WONDERFUL to my dog, Apollo. At first, I was nervous about how she would be able to handle him without my presence but Apollo loved her without giving her a hard time! They enjoyed each other’s company. She’s a very understanding and being sweet to Apollo. She gave him a lot of love and treated him like her own dog. She sent the pics and gave the updates about him. That’s what I truly appreciated about her the most. She’s great at that so that way I wouldn’t worry too much while I’m away. Apollo trusts her right away and definitely will rebook with her in the future! Strong recommend her!”

I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love he gave to my dog while I was away! From the start he was incredibly professional, responsive, and clearly a true animal lover. My dog instantly felt comfortable around him which gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced with dogs. Thank you again for treating my dog like family 💖
We had a wonderful experience with Jingminh! She took care of our German Shepherd, Tandy, for the weekend and went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we dropped Tandy off, we could tell she was in great hands. Jingminh was incredibly considerate, responsible, and genuinely passionate about caring for dogs. She kept us updated throughout the stay with messages, photos and video clips, and it was clear that Tandy was relaxed and happy in her care. When we picked Tandy up, she was calm, well-cared-for, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely to look after our dog. We’re so grateful to have found Jingminh and will absolutely book with her again in the future!
Michael was fantastic at boarding our dog for a week. He took her on long walks daily, even in the summer heat. She returned to us happy and healthy! I highly recommend Michael, as he is trustworthy, compassionate, and truly loves dogs.
Sara was outstanding with Grace and very good prompt with communicating. We felt very comfortable leaving Grace with her when we were out of the country. She also arranged for her husband to drop off Grace at the end of the stay which was initially unplanned. Thanks to Sara and family.
We are very happy with Olga. Got pictures and updates on Winston every day. Would definitely come back and recommend Olga to the others. Thank you again for taking such good care of Winston.
Always a great visit with Brenda. Very accommodating and responsive. Oakley and kiwi enjoyed their visit.
This was our first time using Rover. We got daily updates and pictures. Our dog had a great time. The entire process was seamless from drop off to pick up. Will definitely be using Iwona again in the future!!!
Santos was awesome, she sent me daily pictures, she is so responsive and really cared for my dogs. I felt at peace leaving my dogs with her.
Keshanti was my first booking with Rover and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience to fully capture my pleasure with her service. She is incredibly kind, loving, and accommodating. She provided updates and sent pics throughout my puppy’s stay. She made him feel welcome and comfortable in her home and I felt so at ease with him in her care. Will definitely rebook in the future.
Rachael, along with her partner Rick, did an incredible job taking care of our dog. We decided to go with a sitter this time as opposed to boarding our dog through a business and it was the best decision we could’ve made! Monty was treated so well, had a great time socializing and being loved on by humans and dogs alike. When we previously booked through a business, Monty got so anxious he caused a wound on his nose and when we got him back he was completely lethargic and not at all himself. When we booked with Rachael, Monty came back to us just as happy as ever. We couldn’t recommend Rachael enough and will definitely be returning for any of our future needs.
Briana took great care of my dog. I received daily photos and updates, and I knew my pup was well-fed, exercised, and in good hands the entire time. I highly recommend!
Katherin is/was amazing! We had two sets of dates, with only a few days in between, where we would be traveling outside the country. Being away from our babies for over two weeks is stressful enough and being that far away makes it even more so. But having Katherin to take care of them really put us at ease. And I think the best review was from the dogs who were VERY excited to be back at Katherin's when we dropped them off for the second set of dates. They came back happy and healthy. We got pictures and updates. Katherin was communicative and responded to our texts. She is great and we will leave our babies with her again in the future.
Patricia was easy to communicate with. She kept us updated on Ollie. Will definitely use her services again.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR CARING FOR LILO LIKE SHE WAS YOURS. You are so kind and professional. LILO enjoyed the long walks and late cuddles. She can’t wait to see you again 😏You have a gift with animals 👏
Ebony is the best. My pup broke his leg right before my travels. I was worried that I would have to cancel but Ebony took great care of the cast while I was away. Kept it dry and in good condition.
I’m so grateful for Israel and his family! they truly saved the day! When an emergency came up with Rocko’s first sitter, they stepped in without hesitation and welcomed him with so much love. This was his second stay with them, and I knew he’d be in the best hands. Rocko came home happy, so loved, and so well cared for. I can’t thank them enough!
We have used Shadid for weekly daycare all summer, so it was a no-brainer to seek out her care when we needed to board our puppy for a week while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos to reassure us our dog was doing well. She is always professional and so easy to work with!
Thank you for a wonderful experience for my little girl Lucky Would book again and recommend you to all my dog owners. Very professional and simple. What more can dog owner ask for.
Our old lady Stella had a great time with Anthony! He took her on walks and gave her lots of treats and love. We also had to extend her stay one night due to a flight cancellation. Anthony was very flexible and accommodating, which made a stressful situation a little bit easier. Thanks so much!
