“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”

4. Tessa S.
“It was our first time boarding Gus overnight with Tessa. We had a worry-free trip knowing Gus was well taken care of by Tessa. I got pictures everyday and he looked happy and content. Tessa kept me updated on his meal intake and meds ( since we had told her that recently his food intake had been a bit erratic.) We feel very comfortable leaving Gus with her.”

“Had a last minute cancel of my usually dog sitter but Lorena was quick to respond, she watches <40lb dogs which my GSP is just under but she took her for the weekend was was amazing. The pics she sent of Lina looked good and happy!”
9. Tara & Trevor H.
“Tara and Trevor were nothing less than excellent! they always responded immediately, sent picture and update of her even without having to request. they even allowed here to stay on extra night since we got back late from our trip and could not pick her up until next day. I would highly recommend Tara and Trevor to leave your fur baby on your next trip.”
10. Mary & Norman B.
“Mary and Norm were the absolute best dog sitters! We left our 12 year old Shihtzu with them and he was treated so well. We got daily updates and knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
11. Takima W.
“Kima has watched my sweetie poodle since she was 13 years old. She played with her all day until she was exhausted for bed time. She made sure she got her food on time and helped put her on a strict schedule for when my husband and I weren’t around. She communicated with Toffee as if she was an actual human being, and that pup listened to her as if she understood every word. Unfortunately, our sweet girl passed a year ago with Kima by her side. To have not been there with her was so heart wrenching but knowing she was not scared and surrounded by love gave us ease. Kima is the one for you and your family!”
12. Alicia D.
“Alicia is the greatest! I do military re-enactments throughout the summer which are always on the weekend and not really pet friendly. I usually leave my dog Pax with Alicia on friday and pick him up on sunday. Never a problem my dog I think actually looks forward to going with her! Alicia is very attentive and affectionate. Alicia is always sending updates on how Pax is doing! I highly recommend Alicia!”
13. Nyree Karina A.
“This was my first time boarding my pup/using Rover so I was pretty nervous at first, but Nyree made the whole experience a breeze and put my mind at ease every step of the way with progress pics, videos, updates, etc. Nyree is a warm person and good with dogs and I could tell Tori had a great time with her. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking! I know I will be re-booking with her if I ever go on another vacation.”
14. Christine M.
“Christine and her family are fantastic!! They made the entire experience wonderful for myself and for Duke! She is incredibly prompt and easy to work with. Christine, took into account Dukes medical condition, and made sure he was well taken care of. Her family and her dogs made Duke feel right at home - we will definitely be using her services again!!”
15. Madeline S.
“Maddie has been great with my Prince! He is a 75lb pitbull and Maddie has kept him now a total of 4 times. She was always very responsive and always kept me updated on what and how he was doing! I’m so happy I found her because I’ve been stress free with deciding on who would have my prince if I have to go out of town or a quick over night stay. He’s always fed and happy when he’s there! No complaints at all! He loves Maddie!”

She made sure she was comfortable and happy with her and the rest of her fur babies. Lots of walks and took her around town to keep her active and happy. Overall I can’t recommend her enough I will be asking for her services again and I bet Camila will be very happy to see her as well.”
