“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”

“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“It was my first time leaving my pup in someone’s else’s care and I couldn’t be more grateful. Petey was very well taken care of and I got pictures along the way. They are natural dog caretakers and I would highly recommend. Whenever I need help in future Joerg and Lake will be first one my list! Thank you both so much for making me feel at ease when I was away🫶”

“Megan was incredible! She was super communicative and went out of her way to make sure Bella was comfortable during her stay (lick pads, essential oils… the works!). I’ll definitely book with Megan again and highly recommend to others looking to leave their pups in good hands. :)”
“Tammy is amazing! We have a senior dog and had been using the same dog sitter for many years, so we really needed to feel comfortable to start with someone new. Tammy made us and our pups super comfortable right from the start. Her communication is great and she took extra time to understand his needs and routines so he immediately felt at home in new surroundings. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“Ruben WILL treat your pup(s) as his own. He is so genuine with his love and care for dogs. He is very communicative; he sends pictures and videos random, and as you ask. He dog sat my two dogs, a boy and a girl for three days. On day one I kept bothering him asking how my dogs were doing. And from the pictures and videos he provided I was able to see my dogs enjoyed being with him. So the next two days I left him alone because I was able to see my dogs felt his love! And that’s very important to me. Go with Ruben. Pick Ruben to watch over your dogs. Our pups feed off of our pawrent energies and Ruben can provide the same for your dogchild/ren.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Amalia was excellent with communication, sending updates on my pup every day. She was super accommodating with my arrival time and drop off Murdoch despite her own early morning schedule. Amalia took care of my boy as if it were me while I was gone and I am super grateful for her time with him. I will definitely have her look after him when I travel again. 100/10.”
“This was our second time leaving our pup with Alma and she had an amazing stay.

We highly recommend Alma and hope to leave our dog with her again soon.”
“Andrew was amazing! I have a young puppy- 3 months old- and he was able to care for her without any problems. I dropped her off in the early morning which was really convenient for my work and he sent me pictures throughout the day of my pup enjoying her time with all of Andrew’s other furry friends. I am trying to allow my puppy to gain exposure to other dogs and Andrew’s place was perfect for just that! He texted me updated throughout the day on what she was doing, how she was enjoying herself, sent many different pics of her enjoying herself with other dogs and all the playing she was doing! I will definitely use Andrew again anytime I need to board my puppy. I know she was well taken care of and had a ton of fun with Andrew. Really appreciative of him being on Rover!”
