“Dianna was incredible! Our pups were well looked after and had the best time! She gave daily updates and I was reassured by the photos and updates! Could not have been happier with her service!!!”
“Hailey was very responsible and answered all my questions. Zeus love staying with her and he came home super clean after a nice grooming session.”
“Hands down my new sitter for Nala, she was very attentive with my sweet puppy, she was very on top of everything for Nala and just have her so much love along side with her pups, this was my first time using rover because I am very nervous with leaving Nala with strangers but Emily is no stranger, definitely book her!! She’s a star sitter for a reason!! And she keeps you updated every minute she can and constantly sends photos, loved every moment of this”
“Angel was very flexible with both drop off and pick up when our plans changed. She was easy to communicate with and provided updates on my girl. Thank you, Angel!”
“Dana was wonderful! I had never left my fur baby for longer than a night or two, and I was so nervous! Dana took care of him as if he were her own. Haku loved playing with her two dogs, and playing in the fenced yard. Dana handled giving his anxiety meds like a pro. She sent me pictures while I was away and made me feel confident that Haku was in good hands. I’m sure he would love to stay with Dana and friends any time!”
“Matt and Jill did a great job looking after our boy for a week. They shared plenty of photos and updates, giving us peace of mind that our Wheaten Terrier was having a good time. We highly recommend and plan to use them again for future travel.”
“I think my boy, Ody, is happier at Karen’s home than he is anywhere else! She spends so much time playing with him and giving him love that he is always excited to go back. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppies for a week with Karen and Chris. . We were immediately put at ease with the daily updates on how our girls were doing during their stay! Our pups had a great time playing and will be back soon!”
“We LOVE Tammi for all of our boarding needs for our two dogs. She has a wonderful space with a huge fenced yard and I always know our pups are safe and happy when they stay.”
“Ruth took our dog in after her should surgery because she needed a calm environment and she was wonderful! She handled the dogs medications, activity restrictions, and even her first heat cycle without complaint. She was excellent with communication and flexible. We could not have kept Luna calm at home with our kids around. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy booking and we were very thankful for Ruth!”
“I booked with Anna on kind of short notice. She was very responsive and we were able to set up my dog Howie’s stay with her quickly. When dropping Howie off I could tell he was at a good home with a loving family. Anna sent updates every day and Howie seemed so happy with his stay. When I picked him up he almost didn’t want to leave. My experience boarding with Anna was amazing and I’d recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a nice place for their dog to stay. Thank you Anna! I’ll be sure to use you again for any future travel plans.”
“I couldn't have asked for better care for Bebe, they treated her like their own. They provided daily updates and pictures that put my mind to ease.”
“Patty was so nice and sent us pictures of her having fun around the yard every day. She took great care of Violet. Will happily work with her again!”
“We are repeat clients because there is no one else that our pup loves more than Grandma Jane and Grandpa Scott’s house! Jane shares updates regularly and keeps our active pup busy and happy.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care my dog received while I was away for Easter. My sitter went above and beyond, especially when I had to unexpectedly extend my trip by a day — they were incredibly accommodating and understanding. Communication was smooth, and I had full peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“My dog, Dante, had an absolute blast with Peter. He was excited to see us after vacation but was so torn about leaving and had to give Peter a final good bye. Peter gave us amazing updates and photos throughout Dante’s stay. It was our first time leaving Dante since moving to a new state but thanks to Peter, any worries were quickly done away with. If needed, we will definitely use Peter again!”
“Becky and her family are awesome! They take such good care of our your boys. We feel totally blessed to have found them. We have zero worries when we go out of town. 💕”
“Danielle and her family were excellent caretakers of our three dogs. We received daily updates and pictures of them. The family is clearly a dog loving family. Will definitely use their services again.”
“I was able to message Karen before I booked with her as we had a last minute opportunity to adopt a new puppy and had a vacation that we were leaving for in the same week! She came with a 5 star rating and was very close to our home, so once she said she was available and willing to sit for a 2 month old puppy we were so appreciative. Sapphire not only had a wonderful time, but was extremely well cared for, learned some new commands and practices, and was fed with Karen's own handmade dog food and treats. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Jenny was awesome! We are so happy she was able to help us out last minute. Piper absolutely loved the long walks and great care Jenny provided. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend!! Thank you Jenny!”
