Barb is the best! My dog was so happy being at Barb's house. She had other dogs to play with and came home exhausted! Barb is my go-to sitter!

Monae took such good care of my senior dog, Kai. He has trouble walking and so it's great that he can go directly outside to the backyard. She was also really good about switching his inside and outside shoes out which I really appreciate. 10/10 will book again!

Sandy was exactly what I was looking for and I'm so glad we found her. She communicated regularly about how Bubbles was doing, and I felt she really listened to everything I said. Before we came to do a meet and greet, Sandy had obviously read the profile I had made for Bubbles, as she asked questions about it. She and her husband seem very adaptable to different types and personalities of dogs. Will book again.

Jessica was great. Left my 3 dogs with her a whole week and even tho we missed them so much they had a great time. Every day we got updates with pictures and short videos, it made being away from them a bit easier knowing they were also having fun. 10/10 would recommend.

Our normal dog boarding fell through last minute and Michelle and Otavio saved teh day a few days before a big week long trip for our family! Our pups were well cared for and seemed so happy upon their return. We got regular and thorough updates on them daily which made our time away more relaxing. We could see how comfortable and at home our dogs were while in their care and would recommend!

Ashley and her daughter are the most welcoming and amazing pup gurus we could ask for. This was the first time we left Queso with someone who wasn't immediate family and the second Queso saw them on the meet and greet we knew that he was in good hands. Couldn't recommend her more.

Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!

Manny is so wonderful! We have two dogs that stay with him often since we travel a lot. One is a senior and Manny is so patient and good with them! He gives our senior his medicine and it’s comforting to know we have someone we can trust. He always send photos of them and walks them around the neighborhood. He is true gem and we feel lucky we can leave our family with him. Manny radiates light and it’s clear he loves animals deeply. Couldn’t recommend him enough!!

This was the first time we used Rover and we couldn't be happier. Matt was great with our 4 year old German Shepherd. He gave her plenty of attention and played ball with her. He sent me pictures and videos everyday. She stayed there for 7 nights and when we picked her up, she was excited to see us but was not trying to leave. She felt at home there and very well cared for. I am more than pleased.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matt & Leslie are absolutely amazing! My 15-year-old Australian Shepherd, Bear, requires special attention with his medication, mobility, and feeding, and they cared for him with such compassion and dedication. They even built a ramp to make Bear more comfortable during his stay — that level of thoughtfulness meant the world to me. They also sent me daily photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for Bear was. It is such a blessing to find people who treat your dog like family. I feel SO BLESSED to have found Matt & Leslie, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. Five stars all the way!
