“Thank you Kj ! This was coco's 3rd stay with Kj. It is so great to be able to drop coco off & have absolutely no doubt that she will be happy, safe & well taken care of. She has a blast & comes home happily tuckered out.”
“My dog had a wonderful vacation while staying with his family. I think she enjoyed time with everyone, in the family, Kay, Rick, Omar Justas and Vanya. Kay sent me many pictures of her with each, and every one with Willow. I will definitely book with them again. In fact, I have already tried, but they’re busy when I need them. We’ll see you again next time”
“I have brought my pup Reese over to Brittany’s several times now, from just a day of boarding to several days of boarding and Brittany always takes such good care of Reese and has a lot of experience. I know my pup can be a handful at times so I definitely appreciate all the love and care that has been given to her!!”
“Dayjah was great. We had booked with a different Rover originally for the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, they were unable to dogsit for use at the last minute. Dayjah came to the rescue. She was very communicative, and sent daily updates and lots of pictures. Her home was perfect for Koda, with a big fenced yard for him to explore. Thanks again!”
“Mayumi provided the utmost best care for my senior dog, Moose. He stayed in her home while I spent 12 days abroad, a healthy and clean environment for any pet’s care. I received daily photos and updates of my dog and she even ran out to the store get more dog food when the food I left with her ran out. I would recommend anyone to Mayumi. 10/10 Service.”
“Jared and Tayler took great care of our pups (Fern and Gilligan) while we were away for a long weekend! We appreciated receiving a photo each day, and it was obvious that Fern and Gilly felt comfortable and safe!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Logan is knowledgeable and caring about all things animals. She initiated a Meet & Greet before the first time caring for our pups and it was important to her to get familiar with our family. During their first stay, she provided updates, sent pics and followed all of our care instructions. When my flight was delayed, she kindly agreed to a later pick-up.”
“This is the second time we've used Emily and she is wonderful! Our dog Diego loves being there and playing with their dog Maggie. She sends the cutest photos and Diego is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend!”
“Ramanda and her family are amazing with our dogs. Our dogs feel so much love and happiness when they stay there. They treat our dogs like family. Highly recommend.”
“Yuliya did such a wonderful job with our dog Bailey! She was very warm and welcoming, and gave Bailey so much attention and love. She was very responsive, and sent pictures and updates daily. I would definitely have her dog-sit again in the future!”
“Mochi has the best time at Alicia and Simon's! They send us daily pictures/videos/ and updates. When Mochi comes home he is always exhausted and sleeps for 2 days!!!”
“Eddie was treated like a family member at DeeDee’s house. She kept us informed with notes, photos & videos daily. This was our dog’s second stay with Dee Dee. Highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Jana! She and her family were very welcoming to our pup and made her feel at home. The house and yard are set up great for exploring and finding fun things to do. Jana sent pictures and kept us informed about daily activities. Our pup would definitely enjoy staying with Jana again!”
“Amy was great! She was very responsive and kept in touch the whole time we were gone. She has tremendous attention to detail and has a great set up for having dogs at her house!”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
