“Amy was extremely flexible and easy to coordinate drop off/pick up with. She sent us lots of pictures and updates and our dogs seemed to have had a great time. We definitely plan to use Amy again. Thanks for taking such great care of them!”
“Kana and Brian treated Phoebe just like family. She had a fantastic time in their big backyard and she came home a very content pup. I'd use Kana again the next time I need to head out of town!”
“Bobbi was amazing with our two dogs when we were out of town for a week! She took them out multiple times a day on walks and had several other dogs around to play with them and keep them busy. She sent pictures/videos everyday and they always looked so happy and well taken care of! Will 100% use again if we go out of town! Best Rover experience we’ve had!”
“Jena treated Duke like he was her own. She sent daily updates with pictures, took him on plenty of walks, and made sure he felt right at home. I could tell Duke was truly happy and felt like part of the family during his stay. I will be using Jena again!”
“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was fantastic! This was our first time boarding our pup with someone other than close friends and we were pretty nervous, but we felt very comfortable after meeting with Jennifer. She kept us up-to-date on Pip's escapades with her own dogs, and made sure we had plenty of pictures of him having the time of his life. He even played with her dogs! (He's struggled with knowing how to play with other dogs since we adopted him). We absolutely recommend her to watch your pups!”
“I am so thankful to have found Tobi!! Walter stayed with her for a weekend. She is kind and thoughtful and stayed in touch throughout his time with her! He seemed to have fun with her two dogs as well. I look forward to sending him there again in the future.”
“Dina and Irma were amazing! Our dogs had a great time with them. We have specific dietary instructions and requirements, and they followed everything, making sure to send us pictures and updates. Our girls had a great time!”
“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”
“Charlie has such a great time when he goes and visit his friends at Miss Heather‘s! He comes home from being properly spoiled and just sleeps. And I can tell he misses it there already. Already looking forward to the next visit!”
“A huge thank you to Tracy! Our mini doodle came back home feeling happy and calm, which made all the difference for us. It was such a positive experience! We really appreciate it!”
“We boarded our dog with Jeremy for 2 weeks and it was a wonderful experience! Jeremy was friendly and professional. He was great with communication and sent plenty of photo/video updates. It was clear our dog got lots of attention, cuddles, and play during her stay. We felt confident she was well cared for while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
“I recently boarded my Husky, Aiko, with Raaeel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in great hands. Raaeel and her husband are an amazing team professional, kind, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. Their location near Tacoma City Center is super convenient, which made drop-off and pick-up a breeze. What really stood out was the level of care they provided. Raaeel sent me daily photo updates of Aiko, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, active, and well taken care of. She also offered grooming services at a discounted rate, and Aiko came back looking fresh and well groomed, it was a great bonus on top of already excellent boarding. You can tell they treat pets like family. I highly recommend Raaeel to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet boarding, sitting, and grooming needs.”
“Thank you for so much Kerry and family for treating my baby girl like one of your family. I know she was spoiled! Thank you so much for all the updates while I was gone to keep her near. I will definitely be booking again with you if you’re available.”
“This is a dog paradise!!! My year and a half old lab has been to 3 doggie daycares until we found the perfect place for him. I would highly recommend Roxana and Nathan to anyone that wants to know that their dog is safe and having a better time than you! Thank you Roxana and Nathan”
“Great service all around. I will be recommending Ethan to friends and family. Next time we go out of town Ethan will be my first call when our little furry friend needs a second home.”
“Dee Anne took was able to take Luna in on very short notice. She took great care of her. Great communication, care, and made Luna comfortable. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to have her care for Luna again in the future!”
