“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”


“I am so happy I chose Michael to care for my Aussie Layla. She is like my child and I was worried about leaving her but Michael immediately put my mind at ease. He was so warm and welcoming and Layla went right to him. It was apparent how much he loves dogs. His home and fenced yard provided a safe environment with plenty of room to roam. He took Layla on nice walks and stayed in touch with me through texts and pictures. I will definitely continue to use him for any future needs.”


“This was our first experience with an extended boarding time and we were completely comfortable leaving our pup knowing she’s in her best care! Rhondarose gave us daily updates and pictures and even gave our pup a bath before pick-up! She’s the best.”


About: We only take dogs under 40lbs. I have a 5 acres property. 1 acre fenced in so dogs have a safe space to run and play. It is a dogs vacation paradise. My family and I love animals and love helping others. I am home full time to care for your pets like they are our own. I am excited to take care of them while you are away. We have a big family and lots of love to give. We only care for dogs under 40 pounds. This ensures your little furry family members are safe at our home. My property has paths through it and has lots of space. The dogs in our care get a vacation of their own while at our home.


“Angela and Dave took very good care of Jaeger. Angela sent pictures and updates regularly. Jaeger has so much fun playing with the other dogs that he slept for a day after we got home. During a thunderstorm they sat and comforted him. Would use them for our next adventure.”



“Thank you Julia for everything! She sent updates on how my dog Autumn was doing. I felt comfortable leaving Autumn with Julia and we will continue booking with her for when we go out of town 😊”


“As always, Marta was fantastic with Lucky!! Daily updates and lots of TLC. Lucky was very happy when we picked him up. Met all of our accommodations. Highly recommended!!”


“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”



“Katerina was awesome! Our pups seem to have loved their stay! She was really fast with communications and it was nice to see some pictures of them enjoying themselves! Would use again!!”


“Chisato was a great dogsitter! She sent multiple updates every day with how Juni was doing. She followed Juni's care instructions and reached out if she had questions. Juni seemed like she had a lot of fun with Chisato! Thank you, Chisato!”


“My 9 month old puppy had the best time staying with Mary. She was very accommodating, allowing us to set up a meet and greet beforehand. She took the time to learn all about our puppy Olive and we felt so comfortable leaving our fur baby at Mary’s house. Also Olive picked up a few new skills as well :) Could not recommend Mary more!!”


“We just picked Kiska up and she's all smiles after her vacation at Ashley's house. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Kiska was in great hands. Kiska will be enjoying more visits with Ashley. Ashley was able to quickly pivot and help us with some last minute travel complications. Thank You!”


“We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.”


“Kent has watched buddy twice now and he’s been great! Buddy can be particular and Kent has took good care of him. He’s always communicative when we check in as well, thank you Kent!”


“Everything went well included meet and greet before boarding. My 8 month puppy Mochi enjoyed playing and get along with their dog Loki. Mr and Mrs. Ganesh took care of Mochi nicely and being patient even she had accident then tied for more often potty breaks for solution. They shared Some videos and pictures .”


“This is the second time we have used Anita to watch our dog. This past visit was for 9 days and our 15 year old dog was completely happy and very much at home with Anita. I would highly recommend.”


“Kyle was amazing! Super accommodating with our schedule and kept in touch daily to make sure we knew Daisy was doing well. Sent pictures and videos too so our vacation was spent relaxing instead of worrying!”


“I had a fantastic experience with the dog sitting service! The environment was excellent – clean, safe, and with ample space for my dog to run around and play. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any future dog sitting needs.”


“Arpita was wonderful and took great care of our golden ret while we were traveling. We loved the constant updates and photos she shared with us. We will definitely be boarding our golden again with them !”
