“Sarah took AMAZING care of my dog Toby during the holidays. She sent photo/video updates and even had a doggie Christmas party that he was able to join in on. She truly loves dogs and I will continue to trust her with my fur baby.”


“Victoria es una excelente opción para dejar a ese miembro de la familia tan especial como lo es un perro te hace sentir tranquila el tiempo que lo dejas con ella y se ve que el perro se divierte, juega y está protegido una casa súper bonita y una familia hermosa”


“My puppies loved their stay with Chris!! He sent pictures often and went above and beyond for our hyper dogs. He communicated with me the whole time I was away and was very accommodating to my schedule. Will definitely rebook with Chris!!”


“Veronica took great care of my two spaniels. I sent her a short notice request and she was able to watch them for memorial day weekend. She kept me updated on their status and sent pictures! I definitely recommend her!”


“Amy and her family spent quality time snuggling and giving my fur babies the love and attention they crave. They also handled their playful nature perfectly. Amy and her family were attentive, caring, and truly understood the needs of my pups. I appreciated the updates and photos throughout their stay, showing how happy and well cared for they were. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the service. My dogs came home tired and happy, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. For anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets, look no further! Highly recommended!!”


“This was my first time ever using Rover, and ever boarding my dog. I was really nervous at first, but with Shantel there is no reason to worry. Shantel is awesome, she is communicative, helpful, and you can really tell she and her family love the pups. My pup immediately gravitated towards her and her family and I can see that she had a relaxing, fun stay while I was away. Any time I would ask, she would send pictures of Tata and she looked happy and relaxed in all of them. I don't think my dog wanted to leave yet when it was time to pick her up! Highly recommend, and thank you so much for taking care of my baby!!”


“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”


“She took great care of our puppy and was very flexible with us on the timing of the drop off. Terissa was very communicative and even taught our puppy how to use the doggie door in one day! Would definitely board our puppy with her again.”


“Isabel is very kind and kept us updated with messages and pictures. She responded to our messages/questions quickly anytime throughout the day. We will definitely request her for boarding in the future. Thank you Isabel.”



“Paloma took excellent care of our Springer Spaniel babies! She sent lots of pictures and videos and made us feel very comfortable leaving them with someone we had not met before. I really liked that she has a flexible schedule and various family members who are home at different times of day, meaning my dogs had plenty of human interaction. They came back exhausted from playing with her dogs, which in my book means they had a great time! I will definitely leave my pups with her again.”


“Michelle was very quick to respond and so helpful when taking care of my boy Dakota. My husband got hospitalized and it was a spur of the moment that I needed a boarder for Dakota, who just recovered from having a mesquite thorn removed from his foot, so he needed antibiotics as well as foot wrap. Michelle responded right away and Dakota took to her right away. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely be using Michelle again in the future when we need to board Dakota!”



“It was Razor’s most extensive interaction with other dogs and first experience away from home. At pick up, it was easy to tell that Razor had an excellent time filled with play and attention with Anna and her “pack”. He was well taken care of. Pics and updates during Razor’s stay was a nice touch. Will definitely connect with Anna again!”


“Natalie and her husband were great! We received a lot of pictures and updates that made us feel at peace that our baby was well taken care of, I will gladly consider using them again to take care of Mia.”


About: I have a dog for over 13 years he is now a senior dog and I just recently got a puppy that I trained to go potty, sit, stay, paw, lay down. Having a senior and a puppy has given me a lot of patient, carefulness and caring for them. It has taught me that different pets have different needs and are very different from each other. I can assure you I can take care of your pet without you having to worry. I currently go to college but I am available after 12 everyday. I have a lot of free time and I am willing to have dogs stay nights. I currently live in a apartment but it has a dog park, I have a 3 month old puppy but is very friendly and if not friendly I can keep them separate while still having fun.

“Needed to board my pug sorta last min and am sooo happy I chose Adora. She was awesome at sending pics and keeping me updated while I was away. My pug can be a bit high energy but he did really well with Adora and her dogs. And she also sent Dwayne home with a stuffed animal he enjoyed at her home. Overall I’m super happy with the experience and will be using Adora again when I go out of town.”


“I truly trust Morgan more then I trust anyone else, including myself!!! I had to board both of my dogs for OVER THEN THREE WEEKS (24 DAYS!) and you can only imagine how difficult it can be putting your trust into someone you don’t know to watch your babies but as soon as I contact Morgan my concerns has gone. She responded immediately and was so sweet, she asked questions and wanted to know all about the dogs so she can do the best job by taking care of them and for them to not feel like they missing anything in this time they are away for home. Before the boarding we had a face time of meet and greet and she introduce me to herself and showed me her house and where the puppies will stay and play and it was so a wonderful idea of her because this gave me such a good feeling about her and I knew she really cared about this boarding won’t be just watched the dogs and make sure they are ok it was a whole “puppies getaway”! Every day they’ve had their best day. Not kidding. They went on hikes and multi walks on a day, play time everyday all day, she even made the cutest crafts with them!!! I mean come on, IS SHE REAL?? I got twice a day an update about how they been doing, morning and night, and throughout the day the cutest pictures and videos of them. I couldn’t have more peace knowing how fun they’re having and to be honest I was actually feeling bit bad about taking them because I was nervous they’ll be too sad leaving Morgan and her amazing family that gave them so much love and attention. I can keep go for hours writing how satisfied I’m by Morgan and how grateful I’m to finding her but I’m it’ll never end.😅 So, if you looking for the greatest doggy sitter ever hands down she’s the absolute best. Thank you Morgan and your beautiful family for everything! I will definitely use your services many more times! The puppies already missing you all! ❤️”
