“I had to book last minute, like an hour before we had to leave, and she was accommodating and friendly from the start! Her communication was great before and during my pet's stay, and I can tell she loves what she does! My pet isn't the perfect one to watch and she didn't complain once! This was my first time booking on rover, I'm usually the one doing the boarding on here, and she did everything right and then some. Very thankful and WILL book with Kathleen from now on ?”

“Sam came back POOPED (tired) from all the lovely walks and all the warm cuddles. I thank her so much for her time in caring for my elderly pup. He looked like he enjoyed his stay there too with all the love and attention. I’m grateful she was able to stay on track with his daily medication and even paying attention to how my dog looked when his eye would get irritated. I loved her kind spirit and I would definitely book with her again for nearby future❤️”


“I highly recommend Chris and Ashley! This was my first time boarding my hound boy ever, made the right choice with them. I can tell they loved my boy as their own as they made him feel comfortable and relaxed in their home. They had him over the fourth of July, which made me nervous because of the fireworks, but he did GREAT with them. They consistently updated me with pictures of him, which I loved!! I also think my boy adopted some senior dog energy from their eldest, he came back so calm haha. Also, Chris carried out my 42in crate for me, so thankful for them! Their home is so clean and organized with many places for dogs to relax along with a nice, spaced yard.”



“Julie and Kenny were awesome! They took the best care of my dog and she loved it there! They sent messages and pictures of her. My dog felt right at home in their place and they treated her like one of the family. She even slept with them at night in their bed! I will definitely have them watch Daisy again! :)”


“Sean did an excellent job dog sitting Cairo for the day. we did a one-day test run before our upcoming two-week vacation. Sean sent multiple videos and several text updates via the app throughout the day (all unprompted). Cairo also seemed very comfortable playing with both Sean and his three pups! This helped ensure we brought home a well-exercised dog.”


“Pricilla was great with my big baby Rocky. She send frequent pictures and made sure he was well taken care of. Defiantly recommend her services”


“Eugene did an outstanding job! Very attentive to the pups and sent periodic pic and updates as to their well-being. They had plenty of land to roam and also went on regular walk. Upon drop off they were fully content with him and were happy and healthy at pickup. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
