“Sara took such great care of Murphy—she’s so responsible and attentive! Murphy really had a wonderful time there.”


“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”


“Lindsey was so amazing with Zade and he had the best time! I didn’t have to worry for a second about him being in good hands because she was so great with him! With out a doubt will use Lindsey again if needed in the future!”


“Steve and Lisa provided many photos and videos during our pup’s stay. They have two dogs that are very dog and human friendly. They have LOTS of laying places and toys. We will contact them again when we need to board our dog again.”



“Kayla was great! We were gone for a weekend and left our 5 month old German Shepard with her. She sent us daily pictures and updates about our pup. We would recommend Kayla for watching your furry friends.”


“Joyce was an absolute pleasure to work with. My vacation was last minute, so I was extremely grateful to find the Rover app and website, but finding Joyce was even more of a godsend. I could tell right off that she loves dogs, has a passion for dog sitting, and strives to make both animals and their owners as happy as possible. She provided periodic updates, images as well as a video, and set my mind at ease. Thank you very much Joyce, I really appreciate it.”


“Our pup completed her first stay with Jessie last night. It went so well. Jessie sent me pictures during the visit and you can really notice the happiness in our Toni’s visit. We are so happy to have found a Jessie, Toni is definitely looking forward to her next schedules stay.”


“Izzy had a great stay! Makenna went above and beyond to add a food topper to Izzy’s food to help her eat with separation anxiety. Completely flexible with pickup and drop off. Will use again”


“Whitney was awesome. I messed up the dates when booking and she was happy to adjust. Really good about communicating and her home had a great back yard. Thank you!”
