Sue was the absolute best! We had a very unique situation where we really wanted our dog, Maui, to be a part of our wedding day and weren’t from the area so we were unsure how to find someone that could pick him up from the venue while we were getting married and board him overnight. Sue went above and beyond to pick him up and board him. Sue also kept us updated with how Maui was doing and he had a great time playing with her cockapoo Ninny! Highly recommend Sue to anyone in need of dog boarding!

We were very happy with Mike and Amy, they took great care of our girl Luna. Luna got along well with their dog Bear, and had a great time with him. Luna felt right at home there. Mike sent plenty of updates with pictures which was nice.

Once again Gillian and family went above and beyond taking care of Cooper. He was there for almost 2 weeks, with eye medication and a limited appetite; Gillian didn’t hesitate to say yes to watching Cooper, making him his own meals some days, rinsing his eyes and figuring out the best way to put the eye drops in. I always know that Coop is getting the best care and being treated just like part of the family. Thank you so much Gillian, Mitch and all the pups that make him feel at home. 🩷

Delilah had a wonderful time with Kirsten and Mark and their 4-legged kiddos! The pictures were great showing how well she was fitting in. Kirsten and Mark went the extra mile to make sure Delilah was safe and happy in their home. We are all set to book again this summer! Five stars and six paws satisfaction rating!

It was a big deal for us to leave our 8 month old puppy with a sitter, but we knew after her daytime ventures that Marcie would be just fine. Mikayla communicated with us, and provided pictures. We highly recommend her!

Kimberly was so kind to take Toby my 19-lb Havenese dog very last minute! I have a bad wrist fracture and was not able to take care of him properly. She took such great care of him with only hours’ notice. I will definitely use her services again!

Tiffany was amazing with our dog. She went above and beyond and made him feel right at home. He usually gets anxious when we leave him but he warmed right up to her because she was so good with him. And when we picked him up he was calm and relaxed so I could tell he had a good time.

About: My name is Heidi and I have loved working with animals my entire life! I went to school for veterinary science but, unfortunately, I dont have the stomach for it. I grew up with rotties, a Shepard and I used to have have a Yorkshire terrier so I'm comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes. I also have always had cats so I'm more than comfortable with them as well. Building up trust and relationship with the animals I work with is one of the best feelings in the world. I do work Monday through Friday and due to recent changes have no availability before 5pm. I'm more than willing to come to a meet up before the sit date to make sure all connections are good! I do work Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm and have no availability durring that time. I can watchbyour pet overnight on weekends as long as theyre capable of being alone for that time frame. I do have open availability on weekends. Please tell me any guidless, rules or typical schedules for your pet so I can keep things as comfortable as possible for them. Routines are respected as much as possible.

Bob took wonderful care of my puppy Trixie. I was so nervous to leave her with someone new because she is a very cautious pup, but Bob made me feel much more comfortable during our meet and greet (where he served me the most delicious cup of coffee). He told me about his extensive background with dogs and showed Trixie and me around. He was very calm and sweet with Trixie. After her 4-day stay with Bob, she came home happy and well-cared for. I can understand why Bob is so popular! We hope to book with him again in the future. Thank you Bob!!

David was incredibly responsive, kind and easy to work with! He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)

Jillian was great. She was available at a very short notice and didn’t hesitate to take on a big dog. Even when my dog wasn’t behaving she was able to handle the situation appropriately and reassured me everything was fine. I appreciate her patience with a more challenging dog. Daily updates, pictures and what they did during day set my mind at ease. I recommend anyone to use especially for first timers. Thank you Jillian, you’re fantastic.

Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Sue was fantastic. She opened her home to our little fur ball. He was very uneasy being left someplace new. But Sue worked closely and lovingly with him. Always shielding him from distress. Always concerned with his happiness. I’m sure anyone who is reluctant to leave their precious fur babies with someone new and unfamiliar will be very happy with Sue.

One of the BEST Rover experiences for my dog!! I was in town for a few days and needed a place for my dog for just one night. Sue is caring, and genuinely invested in the dogs who come into her home. Winston felt right at home and was treated as if he’d been a part of the family for years. I would definitely board him there again in the future!
