Simply the best! My husband jokes that our pup doesn’t want to come home when she stays with Laura and Vladimir and it may not be a joke! We love having Olive stay there because we know she is safe and well taken care of!

Marta was a delight and I had no issues or concerns. Marta was very good at making sure everything went smoothly and keeping me current on how my dog Sandy was doing. Sandy is a very active Yellow Lab. It was also very clear to me that Sandy very muchg enjoyed playing with Marta's dog and Marta's daughter. I know that Sandy would enjoy a return visit and I would not hesitate asking Marta to sit for Sandy again.

Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!

Michael was a great Rover sitter. He answered all of our questions during a meet and greet, so we’d feel comfortable leaving our dog with him. We got many pictures through out the week (as we requested) so we knew our pup was settling in well while we were gone. He was very flexible with dates as well when we needed to make a slight change to our drop off day. Would definitely recommend Michael and will consider him for future bookings for our pup!

I’d like to share my experience with Christina, who recently cared for my dog, Moxy. Right before the boarding, Moxy had an injury, and I was a bit nervous about leaving her. But Christina was incredibly understanding and attentive from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure Moxy was comfortable and well taken care of. Christina kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which really helped ease my mind. She made sure Moxy was fed properly and gave her the extra attention she needed during recovery. Despite the circumstances, Moxy was happy and relaxed with Christina — I could tell she felt safe and cared for. I’m truly grateful for the compassionate and professional service Christina provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.

Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.

Osiris, Thea’s husky, is super adorable ! Osiris is such a gentle giant. Crunch loves both Thea and Osiris. We are very happy with Thea and Osiris and definitely recommending them for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. Thank you so much Thea and Osiris for caring.

We used to leave our dog at a large dog boarding place when traveling, and she would be grouped with so many different dogs that I can tell she was traumatized and often took days to be back to her normal carefree self (and she would have dog drooling all over her). This time under Nancyanne’s care our dog was able to stick to a routine similar to at home, and I can tell she was quite comfortable and after 9 days it was seamless that her demeanor was like she never left home. We would happily recommend Nancyanne to anyone who needs help.

Wonderful, fun place for my sweet little dog to spend his vacation. Ewa and her husband truly love dogs. They send lots of photos and videos. Their dogs are so mellow about having even small dogs around. Mochi is well taken care of there. He loves going and I love being confident he is happy there.

Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.

Finn had a great time with Nicole, and we were so pleased to have found her. Finn is a 7-yr old Lab and full of energy. But Nicole was a pro, and Finn showered her with kisses. It was our first time and it was such a relief to know our pup would be safe and happy with Nicole. Already booking our next boarding appointment. We highly recommend leaving your fur baby in Nicole’s capable hands.

Soojin went above and beyond in caring for our dog. She and her young children loved having him with them, and spoiled him with attention, love, and accommodation. Many updates, pics and videos were sent our way during our time away, and there was always quick communication. Our dog Ollie loved playing in their fenced in backyard. We hope to book with them again someday!

Dan and his wife took exceptional care of our dog while we were away. They lovingly welcomed her into their home, took her on walks, played with her and gave her lots of love. They discovered she had developed a UTI, worked with her to keep her comfortable. We are very grateful for their care. And Lula their dog was sweet and friendly to our dog.

Marissa was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for our greyhound, Cash! She went above and beyond, sending us daily pictures that really put our minds at ease and showed how much fun Cash was having while we were away. It was clear from every update that Cash was in great hands, happy, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter, and we'll absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we travel!
