Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!

Hands down, Dynette is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She went above and beyond with my dog! She kept me informed and sent me pictures throughout the week and I have never been on a trip and felt so at ease about leaving my dog! I knew that my dog was in great hands and getting lots of love! I was so pleased that I am booking her for another vacation in a few months!

Jessica and her family took great care of Hank while we were gone! When my husband went to pick him up, he said that Hank initially started going back to the house instead of the car. Definitely a testament to how he was treated and how much he enjoyed being there. I also appreciated the updates and pictures. We would definitely trust Jessica to watch Hank again.

Monica was awesome! I had the ultimate peace of mind knowing that my girl was being taken care of by such a wonderful human. She sent photo updates, and overall, it looked like she and Sophie had a great time and enjoyed one another's company.

Our dog had a wonderful stay with Patti and Patrick. He was dealing with some health issues prior to his stay with them, and they were supportive with giving him his medication. Patti sent us fun text messages and photos everyday of our happy boy. He was well taken care of and loved in their care.

Mike has a nice set up in his home and back yard for dogs. After a meet-and-greet he accepted our puppy because he could read her behavior, and he knew how she would get along with the other dogs. Mike was great taking care of our little girl.

This is the longest I've ever left Mia and I did not want to board her at a kennel for 12 nights. Lan kept me updated with pictures and videos that made me relax and enjoy my vacation more knowing she was well taken care of and had a buddy to play with too. Thanks Lan!

Roxanne was fabulous! She sent us updates and photos at least once every day. And, since she's an amazing photographer with a great camera, some of those photos are professional quality. We'll definitely stick with Roxanne for all of our future boarding!!

This was Bucks first experience boarding with Robert, and we will for sure be repeat customers! Right from first request, communication was quick and informative. I chose Robert based on his positive reviews, and I am happy to be adding to them now! Even though it was just an overnight stay I got pictures and updates on how Buck was doing. Buck looked happy in every photo. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert again when I need to board Buck!

Jenny and Mark were fantastic with Obi and our first time using Rover. They made me feel 100% comfortable with leaving Obi with them for the first time ever, and communication was open and reassuring. I received several updates while on our trip and found Obi very happy and comfortable staying with them. Will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!

Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!
