Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!

Our yellow lab seemed to enjoy the company and care at Lindsay's house. He moved right in to share her dog's bed and apparently made himself right at home. The photos that Lindsay sent us showed him relaxing during his "camp" weekend at her house. This was our first time using Lindsay's services and it was a great success!

Donna and Roland couldn’t have been nicer to our dog. They were very warm and attentive to him and treated him as if he were their own. When he arrived for his stay with them he was on an antibiotic for a gingival problem and they were very responsible regarding his meds. We could not have asked for better care. Unfortunately our dog did not get along with their cat or we would be re-booking with them

Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!

This was Charlie’s first stay with Mercis. Charlie is very choosy with new boarders. He was very comfortable with Mercis from the first time he met her. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos during the whole stay. Charlie has a great time! We will definitely board Charlie again with her. Highly recommend Mercis for your boarding needs!!

Mike did an excellent job watching over our dog and sending me updates while we were away on vacation. He made us feel very comfortable leaving a family member behind and not worrying about if they would be ok Highly recommend

Bob took care of our beloved Hershey and did an amazing job. He kept us well-informed with regular updates and made sure Hershey was comfortable and happy throughout our time away. The communication was excellent, which really put our minds at ease. It’s clear Bob cares deeply for the pets he looks after, and it’s such a relief to know Hershey was in good hands. Highly recommend!

I have never seen my dog so happy to not be with me! I'm trying to not take it personally and just be happy that we've found such wonderful care for our girl. I can't thank you enough.

Monty's stay with Felicia was great! She provided us with lots of updates along the way, and we felt like he was in very safe hands. Our puppy came home happy and relaxed, and it was adorable at pickup seeing how much Felicia and her kids enjoyed having him there ❤️

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and attentive she is with animals. Our Cody and Leo absolutely adored her. While we were away, Stacey kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond-not only making sure Cody and Leo were fed and loved, but also taking the time to play ball and cuddle which is their favorite thing to do. When we got home, Cody and Leo were so happy and clearly well taken care for. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and dependable-we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. Thank you so much Stacey!

Julie and her family were amazing for our dog, Queso, and our family. She helped us out on a last minute cancellation of our dog sitter and took care of Queso for a full week. Her family took her on walks, played with her, and welcomed her into their home! She updated us with messages and photos. We are very grateful and hope to use her in the future. Thank you so much!

This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.

Samantha and her family loved Willow like one of their own! I would send her back any time. They were also extremely understanding and flexible when our flight home was delayed and we had to adjust our pickup time several hours later.

Lisa was great. My dog doesn’t like to eat when he’s at a new place but Lisa let Duke have some of the food she feeds her dogs which he ate.
