“Roy and Bethany were amazing. I needed to board my dog for about a month and they were gracious enough to take Indy on!! I know Indy had an amazing time with them and got plenty on exercise in their backyard. They sent photos as well to keep me updated on how she was doing! Will definitely be reaching out in the future!”


“I was the happiest to be home away from home. Ms. Megan introduced me to her family and puppy friends. Mom has promised me to stay at my 🆕 vacation pad because I don’t like to be alone or caged. I came home to be loved as much as Ms. Megan loves me ❣️ Mom was so happy to bring me home safe, well cared for and mostly clean, no itching, matted tail or scared to be away from mom and dad. For the first time, mom has agreed to allow me to a vacation of my own, no joke, we ❤️ Ms. Megan’s all inclusive 🧆🦴🐕🦺🛋️”


“Tracy and her husband are always my first pick when it comes to ensuring my pets are in the hands of two people who will love and care for them just as much as I do! They have been a blessing in taking the best care of my two border collies, and they never fail to keep me updated via pictures of their daily adventures. If you or your loved ones need someone to keep a loving eye on your babies please consider reaching out to these amazing individuals!”


“Samantha took such good care of our girl! She communicated a lot and was so loving. Our girl had a great time playing with her sweet dogs and running around in a big yard. We highly recommend her!”


“Kim watched our dogs Milo and Kain from 12/9 to 12/13. She did an amazing job and was very attentive to their needs. She checked in frequently and sent the cutest photo and video updates. Would definitely book again in the future and recommend to anyone wanting peace of mind leaving your pups in awesome hands. Thank you!”


“Mikaela was absolutely amazing with our dog. It was our first time boarding her and we were very nervous. However they gave updates multiple times a day with lots of pictures and videos! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I will absolutely be boarding with them again. I wouldn't have anyone else watch our Jolene! Thank you again Mikayla for being so good to our girl!”



“This was my first time using rover so i was a bit nervous, however Lezlie was great. She responded quickly and was able to send me pictures when i requested them. I will definitely use her again.”

“Nimbus sure had a great time!She dog is still a puppy and is very active, Paul made sure that she has enough exercise and mental simulation, he brought her to the dog park or the pond, spend a good amount of time to play which Nimbus loves! We receive updates from time to time, with photos too! She loves her new buddy too! Highly recommended!”


“We weren’t sure how to feel leaving our kitten with a stranger, but Arienne assured us he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and sent us updates each day. He seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her girls. We will definitely consider her again when we need to board Plinko!”

“Our dog Taco had a BLAST! We went on vacation, but apparently so did Taco. Gisella sent us pictures of Taco 2-3 times a day and was very responsive. We can’t say enough good things about the family, and they worked with us on dropoff/pickup even though we booked with short notice. I highly recommend leaving your pet with Gisella if you want them to be left in a loving home with a loving family. We will definitely be booking with Gisella in the future.”


“Appreciated the easy communication and friendly service. My dog enjoyed his stay and felt welcome. Made our family visit to Aggieland easier with regards to dining out and other activities that were not dog friendly. Thumbs Up!”
