3. Matthew & Jennifer H.

“I was so happy to find Mathew and Jennifer to watch my girl Bailey. Immediately I knew she would be well cared for. They responded right away and enjoyed her with their dog . I was sent pictures. I would say they are a great family and would take care of your pet !”


4. Brittney T.

“This was my first time boarding my dog in years and he is a pretty old boy with medical issues. Brittney and her family made me feel so comfortable leaving him with them that all of my concerns immediately subsided. The house is filled with thriving animals and plants and you could feel the care and genuine love for animals everywhere. Her knowledge of animal care was very good as well. She understood my old man’s needs and room great care of him. She sent pictures and updates while we were away, and was very reassuring for this nervous pet mom. When we picked him up, it was clear he had enjoyed himself and it took him a minute to even realize we were there. I highly recommend Brittney and her family. I’ve already booked her for another stay while we go to another wedding out of town.”


5. Karin U.

“Karin was terrific! She sent daily photos and updates which helped me be at ease leaving my fur baby. Will definitely bring Enzo back. Thank you, thank you!”


6. Oksana K.


“I have never left my dogs with anyone I've been happy with until now. Our two dogs stayed for several nights. Oksana was truly a wonderful find, I couldn't be happier. I received daily updates (pictures) which was a great reassurance while we were away. Her love for animals shows!”


7. Amanda H.

“This was the second time we left our dog with Amanda. She was great and easy to communicate with. Our dog was well taken care of and we got many picture updates. Will definitely use Amanda again!”


8. Samantha P.

“Samantha was excellent! Quick to respond and flexible. Loved seeing our 3 dogs have so much fun and snuggles at their house. Will definitely be booking again.”


9. Michele M.

“My lab Oliver spent 4 nights with Michele where it felt like home for him. He hit the jackpot with all the fun (especially the pool 😄) and made friends with both of Michele’s dogs. He was so well taken care of and I often got updates/pics on how he was doing. I highly recommend Michele. Your fur baby will most certainly be in the best hands. Oliver already can’t wait for his next stay 🐾”


10. Endy B.

“Endy and her family was amazing with my dog Leo. Highly recommend, very friendly and sends lots of pics and updates. I plan to use her again for sure!”


11. Trish T.

“It was great meeting Trish and our dog, Harper, hit it off with her instantly. She is very genuine and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our young dog for the first time. Harper is a 9 month old mini goldendoodle who is still working out his training and puppy energy. Trish kept us updated and sent photos daily. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short due to a family matter but will not hesitate to use Trish again in the future.”


12. Anna Carolina A.

“Anna responded quickly to my last minute request for doggie sitting. Anna was very friendly. I was a bit anxious about leaving my Vinny in a home with other pets but Anna reassured me that things would go smoothly and they did. Vinny made new friends and she was so kind to update me daily with photos of him and his new fur friends. I would 10/10 recommend Anna and co. to others and will be rebooking for future sits! Thanks Anna!”


13. Jeremy & Rui M.

“My pup had a great time with Jeremy and Rui. I can tell she definitely missed the place when we brought her home. Will use their service again for sure.”


14. Stefani L.

“Misty had a great time staying at Stefani and her family’s home. When I first came to there home for a meet a greet, I was surprised to see Christopher, Stefani’s little boy, waiting at the door step calling out for Misty. He was super excited. He treated Misty as his own. Stefani was very flexible with me especially when I arrived late to pick Misty up. There home is dog friendly and her husband even built a ramp for the dogs to go to the backyard without having to climb the stairs. Stefani sent me great pictures of Misty that I posted some online. I would board Misty again at Stefani’s home.”


15. Tiffany M.

“Tiffany was great!! She consistently updated me with pictures and information. This was the first time my dog was away for so long with a stranger. He was so happy I don't think he wanted to leave! I would highly recommend her.”


16. Robert M.

“Robert and his wife were incredible hosts for our dog while we were away for our wedding. This was the first time that we used Rover and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They completely put our minds at ease and we will 100% be using them again. Our flight was very early in the morning and Robert was extremely accommodating. We dropped our dog off super early in the morning and Robert and his wife had no issues at all. Every day we received multiple photos and updates on how our dog was adjusting and how he was doing overall. Robert and his wife have two dogs themselves and our dog became apart of their pack! Robert has a big back yard that was perfect for our dog to run around and play in. They even let our dog sleep in their bed and on their couch which is our dog’s preferred places to sleep and relax. Overall, we couldn’t rate Robert and his wife higher, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thanks so much to Robert and his wife - we appreciate it more than you know!!!”


17. Patrice K.

“Patrice and her husband were so caring and kind with my dog Lily! We received updates and texts throughout her stay and felt she was in great hands. So helpful and accommodating and would definitely rebook!”

19. Rasa A.
“We have 2 large dogs, one has a seizure disorder. Rasa is very good with them. They love her! She is very conscientious. The dogs are always very well cared for when we go away on vacation. We get daily updates and pictures. They get walks. We are very comfortable leaving them in her capable hands. We highly recommend her!”


20. Leidy & Oscar S.


“So thrilled to find Leidy and her family to care for my geriatric dog. I had such peace of mind leaving her in their capable hands. My small dog loves interacting with other small dogs but large dogs stress her out so this arrangement is the perfect fit. Also loved the photos Leidy shared with us! Thanks and see you again soon.”
