“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“It’s always so comforting knowing how well Murphys stay will be with Leslie and her family! We are so grateful to her for her kindness she shows towards us and our Murph! I’d recommend her to anyone needing per care. 🐕🦺🦴🐾🐶”
“Bill and Mary are always so kind to our doggos. We know the dogs have the best time on their vacation there. Bill sends great pics of the happy dogs and is an excellent communicator.”
“Home away from home! My 2 girls absolutely loved their stay. They got tons of pets and cuddles and of course were spoiled! Halina and Theodore do a fantastic job of making sure your pup is comfortable and feels loved :)”
“Stephanie was amazing! She took wonderful care of Hermes and made us feel very comfortable while we were away. Hermes had a great time playing with her dogs and even got into the pool at her house, and they were completely okay with it. This was our first time traveling without Hermes, and knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. We are very grateful and would definitely recommend Stephanie!”
“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”
“Rita and Brian are lovely people and they love and really care about animals. Having a fenced yard helps but they took Winnie for walks and to dog park and helped with her meds. Winnie(a rescue), is not easy, still being socialized. So it was such a relief to leave her with them. We got many photos of her time there.”
“Kelsey was great! She kept us updated throughout Charlie’s stay. He was happy and tired from playing when we picked him up! I recommend Kelsey, and we will be using her services again!”
“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Sally seemed to enjoy caring for my dog. I was sent lots of pictures and received many updates. My dog was not stressed and content when I picked her up. Thumbs up!”
“Liz watched my pup Kiwi for 10 days at her home while I was on a trip. This was the longest trip I’ve taken without Kiwi, and she can have a bit of separation anxiety. I also had to switch her to another diet due to food allergies l the day before I left. However, Liz had no problems managing these issues and accommodating Kiwi’s needs. Her dog, Lola, was also friendly and social, so there were no issues there. Liz updated me and sent photos daily, which was very comforting, I would definitely use her as a sitter again, and would recommend her to others as well. 😊”
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“Ms. Carol was literally amazing with Benji!! They were bff’s as soon as we arrived. I received tons of photo updates, and Benji was tired and worn out when I picked him up. We can’t wait to be back!”
“Jasmine took care of our puppy like her own, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Murphy told us he had a wonderful time being welcomed into Laura’s home and being made a part of her family. We highly recommend and plan on using her (and her son Joey) again. 👍👍”
“I am a repeat customer and have boarded my goldendoodle with Justin several times. He is dependable and quick to reply. My puppy loves staying with Justin and his family. Thank you Justin for taking amazing care of my baby when I am away.”
“Laken is incredible. She sent the best updates and pictures while Biscuit was staying with her. I know anytime Biscuit is with Laken he is being well cared for and having the best time.”

Samantha was very responsive and kept me updated. She has a beautiful home and well-maintained yard. Her two dogs got along well with Freyja during the stay, however there was an incident that resulted in Freyja (my dog) having a bite mark on her stout due to rough play. From my understanding, it was simply an accident but definitely something to consider when having large dogs all together. I will continue to keep using Samantha and very happy with the stay!
