1. Julie T.
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
2. Patricia K.
“Having left my 2 dogs with Missey on several occasions, her house is like my dogs second home. They absolutely love it and I feel 100% secure in leaving them with her. She is truly the best and spoils her doggie guests with lots of TLC! Thanks Missey! Jill H.”
3. Amy & Lamar F.
“Amy did a phenomenal job boarding Jack, my large husky. She took him to the dog park daily, walked him frequently, and provided a lot of love and attention to Jack. She also provided some great insight in dog training that I intend to act on. I am grateful to Amy for being a dependable, honest, and enthusiastic dog lover.”

“This is the first time I have left my dog with anyone other than the Vet or family and Jennifer is amazing!!! Soo loving and kind! She knows so much about dogs and is a great communicator with pictures and updates every day!! I will absolutely use her again! So grateful to have found her!!”
5. Kristal L.
“Kristal took great care of our fur baby while we went on vacation for a few days. She sent pictures regularly and when we picked up our little dog, she was happy and not at all stressed like she gets if we board her at a kennel. Communication was regular and clear. I highly recommend Kristal for your pet sitting.”
6. Dee S.
“Dee treated our Lucy girl like she was her own! We felt so comfortable while we were gone. I loved seeing all the updates Dee sent with photos. thank you Dee!”
7. Chisato A.
“Chisato was exceptional with caring for our Lexxie. We made the best decision ever for the care of our dog. For seventeen days Chisato would take time to send photos and videos of our dogs activities. They were quite humorous and lovable. Lexxie was safe and adjusted quickly. All of our dogs needs were met along with her medicine, feedings, play time, and those walks during the freeze for several days. If anyone desires to have a reliable committed dog boarder, I totally recommend Chisato 100%!!!❤️”
8. Anita P.
“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.”
9. Mary & Norman B.
“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”

“Ms. Deidre took great care of Paisley!!! She communicated frequently with videos, pictures and updates throughout our 2 week off. Paisley felt very comfortable and loved!

Thank you so much, Ms. Deidre and Milo!! :)”

19. Crystal B.
“Crystal was the best pet sitter we could have asked for! My two fur babies were extremely happy with her. She kept on updating us with their daily activities and pics. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable and not missing home. She even hand fed one of my baby since he is a fussy eater and did not give up on him till he finished his meal. She has so much love for dogs and surely it gets reciprocated. We are definitely going to have her as our permanent pet sitter. ♥️”
