“I had a great experience booking with this sitter for my dog Charlie. They took really good care of him, followed all of his instructions, and made sure he received his medication on time. I appreciated the photo updates because it helped me relax and know he was doing well. Charlie came home happy and calm. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Robin promptly responded to all requests and provided a great experience for our Addie. Clearly comfortable working with dogs, has ample space indoors and outdoors for play. This was our first time and was great experience.”
“You are so AMAZING Veronica! My Murfy truly enjoyed his time with you and your beautiful babies. Thank you so much for taking great care of him for me while I was away. Due to my horrific experienced, I was hesitated to drop him off with a dog-sitter, but you have made me feel at ease and build that trust again. In addition, you provided me numerous photos and videos of my baby daily, and that was very helpful as you understand my past experienced. You are truly God send, and I can't thank enough.”
“First, thank you for taking care of Asher you really treat him as your own. For all the updates and pictures that they sent my little boy really enjoyed and had fun during his stay. Definitely will book them again in the future. They were really a star sitter.”
“I was very nervous about using Rover as this was my first time leaving Onyx with people she wasn’t familiar with but my sweet pup Onyx was very well taken care of! We received photos and updates from the moment she was dropped off! I can tell that although she missed us, she felt safe. I loved that she was allowed to sleep in the bed and lay on the couch which are things she loves to do at home. We will definitely be booking Meagan for boarding in the future!”
“April is just amazing! She sends wonderful pictures with updates on how Yani is doing. She goes hiking and plays with Yani and make sure that she is really well cared for!”
“Anna & Christian were great with Nahla. They are very kind and friendly people. Anna & Christian seem to really enjoy being around dogs. They send updates as necessary and share pictures/videos. I know Nahla is in good hands. I can tell she enjoys her time with them because she is dead tired as soon as we arrive home. Our experience with Anna & Christian is always positive. Nahla always seems excited whenever I drop her off. They are excellent sitters and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is in need. Thank you.”
“This was my first time using Roover and I can say Jessica surpassed my expectations for a sitter. I was hesitant to leave our puppy with just anyone, but after meeting Jessica I knew he was in good hands. I look forward to using her in the future.”
“You can tell Liz and Jeff are dog lovers and good people generally. Greta had never stayed with them before, and we were very comfortable leaving her with them as soon as we met them. Jeff apparently spent the night on a sofa next to Greta because she seemed unsettled. Above and beyond, and hopefully not necessary next time we have them take care of Greta.”
“I was impressed how Sarah kept me abreast on how my dog was doing and with pictures. That made it more personable and helped to relieve any anxiety I had being away. She showed that she cared and that meant a lot. I highly recommend Sarah for boarding needs.”
“Shruti took excellent care of my dog this weekend and did a truly wonderful job. She was communicative, responsible, and clearly loves animals. My dog was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned, which says it all. I highly recommend Shurti and would absolutely book her again!”
“Brandon was absolutely wonderful! He is a very nice gentleman, reliable and very responsive. He gave me updates and sent awesome photos. It gave me such a piece of mind while on vacation. He took care of my 4 year old yellow Lab Harley like his own. I know, because when I picked him up, he looked happy and calm, smiling and waggling his tail. He was just very happy to see me and very happy where i left him. No signs of anxiety being left in somebody else’s house with a total stranger. I know he had a great time away from home. Another wonderful thing is that Brandon lives in a nice neighborhood and has an awesome big fenced backyard. Perfect for accommodations. I highly recommend Brandon and i am looking forward to booking him again 😊 Thank you so much Brandon!”
“Karla took incredible care of Wow. She sent daily updates describing their activities and included tons of action shots. I felt like she loved my pet as her own! Couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Felice and Ken did a great job making our Winston feel right at home for his first visit. We are very happy to have found them and definitely plan on using them for future visits! Thank you Felice and Ken for taking such good care of Winston!”
“Daniel took very good care of my senior dog. His pups are very friendly and good company for my old dog. Dog was happy when I picked him up. Daniel sent many pics during the stay. I would have him take care of my dog again.”
“It was great to leave my Gus with a stranger! Gus has never been away from me and doesn't get much interaction with dogs. Malik communicated with me the first night to say things were going well and them followed up the next night with a photo! I highly recommend Malik and will use him again!”
“Shanikka is very skilled and meeting and greeting. This was my first time and she made me feel really comfortable and providing me with some knowledge and continuation of socialization.”

Karla always takes great care of our dog, Loki. He is 13 years old, and it's nice knowing he will be accommodated and well looked after. She always gives great updates and is available to talk whenever we need. We will definitely go back and recommend her to anyone we know!
This was my second time having Megan watch Skippy and again, it was a very positive experience. She is very communicative, sending messages, pictures and videos throughout the stay. She is also very conscientious of my dog's sensitive stomach and gets him special treats while he is there. I highly recommend Megan!
Shruti took really great care of our two pups and sent us regular updates. It was such a relief to leave them in the care of someone so responsible and friendly. And our pups had a blast hanging out with her dog. We absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for boarding. Thank you Shruti!!!!
McKenzie was very accommodating for my last minute booking and was immediately very comfortable with Skippy. She took him for long walks to alleviate his separation anxiety and sent me pictures to let me know how he was doing. I will definitely call on McKenzie again!
We boarded our 5 month old puppy for the first time and Julia helped us feel comfortable and at ease! She was very understanding and accommodating to what our puppy needed. She sent daily updates with photos which helped us feel secure and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing she was well taken care of. Our pup loved being able to spend time with friends at Julia's place! Would highly recommend booking with Julia.
My pup Izzie LOVES herself some Ashley! Ashley has taken great care of Izzie during several of my work trips and most recently when I had to go out of town unexpectedly for a memorial service. I truly appreciate the photos and videos Ashley sends while taking care of my girl -- it really puts my mind at ease to see how happy my pup is while staying with Ashley. She is the best!
Vita was able to accept the pups last minute! They came home seeming happy and I know they were in a safe environment! She was flexible and accepting of the dogs needs and mistakes. Would recommend for smaller dogs who are used to an apartment setting. I received updated photos of the pups throughout their stay!
My dog got wonderful care with Salomon. He provided frequent updates along with pictures and thoughtful comments about my pup. Salomon was able to accommodate a last minute, 6 day reservation which was super helpful and he remained flexible about pick up time with flights.
