“Autumn & Paul (as well as their kids) treated our 2 fur babies as if they were their own. They were super kind to us and attentive to the needs of our dogs. Pictures were sent daily along with a daily update. The boys came home happy. Happy to know we can go out of town without worrying about our boys and feeling secure they are in great hands.”
“It's never easy to find a new sitter when you move to a new area. We were so fortunate to find Diane through Rover. Honey is a loving and sweet dog, but nervous about new situations. Diane understood and went the second mile to care for her. What a blessing!”
“Kira was awesome with my puppy Archie when we left for an international trip for a week. She spoiled my boy and took lots of pictures for us, and sent daily updates, which was awesome because we missed him!!! I am so happy he was able to stay with someone who truly cared about him and that he got to play, interact with other pups, and go on adventures while we were away! Kira does awesome with sticking to your dog’s routine as much as possible, reinforcing their training, and making them feel as comfortable as they can while they are with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Kelly took extremely good care of our two pugs. One is 5 and the other is not quite 2. She has a yard where they could run and play which I am sure they loved because we do not have a yard they can play off leash on (more like a tick farm). The boys came home very happy and have collapsed on our laps to recuperate for their next adventure. I will book Kelly & Brian again when the need arises.”
“I cannot express how great Donna is and how grateful we are with her for taking such good care of our fur baby. She made sure Chuchu had his medication when he had to, and she treated him as part of his family. Thanks Donna! See you next time!”
“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”
“Brittany took exceptional care of our 2 Cavalier King Charles. They loved playing with her dogs and it was comforting to know they had a safe yard with plenty of playtime. She was able to accommodate my early drop off and late pick up. I felt very comfortable leaving my girls with Brittany and I highly recommend her services.”
“We highly recommend Barbara and her husband as the y took great care of our 15 year old senior pup. Our dog has some memory problems at his old age, and Barbara met with us beforehand to allow him to meet her, and also her sweet dog and to allow our dog to visit the house beforehand. During his stay, she kept me updated with photos and quick text updates which I really appreciated. They did a great job making our old pup comfortable for his time with them! We would reuse their service and will recommend them to others!”
“This is the second time Gus has stayed with Jessica and Jeffrey and again, he was well taken care of. He was excited the minute we walked in the door! He got plenty of outdoor time, went on walks, took cozy naps and played with his friend Joey! We got updates with pictures daily and seeing him happy made it easier to be away from him. We don’t worry about him while we are gone because we know he is in good hands!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Kano. It was our first time leaving him with a stranger. From our first communication, I felt a sense of calm and professionalism and she didn’t disappoint. When we dropped him off I knew he was in good hands. We received daily updates with photos. He really had a great time. She also gave us some great insight on ways to help Kano’s growth and development (boundaries). He’s a puppy and has never been around anyone except my family. I highly recommend Dalia.”
“Took great Peppabear & could tell when we were leaving he really got attached to her. Thank you for the daily video & photo updates. It's tough tonbe away from my Peppa but it's easier knowing he's taken care of well.”
“Our fur baby enjoyed his stay, he got lots of playtime and attention with Meaghan and her kiddos❤️ she kept in touch with pics and videos and eased all my anxiety with leaving him while on vacation,we highly recommend and will be using her in the near future!”
“Our girls loved Shume! Coco does not like strangers but she warmed up to Shume quickly. Shume's open communication kept our hearts at ease. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“As always, she was great and attentive to my dogs. They had to take a trip to the vet while I was on vacation for a while and she did not hesitate to take them right away. They love coming to her house!”
“Laura has been amazing for our Leo! He had a scary incident the day of boarding and she was still up for having him. He loved it there and could be his own self, relaxed and playful. She takes amazing care of all the dogs she has and respects if some dogs need a little calmer start or whatever they needs might be that day! 10/10”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“Christine and her family have been so transparent and sweet with their care of my animal. Between the messages and photos and kind banter in between, Christine had left a great impression on me for what a true animal lover and boarder looks like. Client forever!”

Autumn & Paul are awesome! Kept us informed throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we did. Glad we found this sweet couple to watch our little Bruno while we went to visit family out of state. We will definitely be using them again!!
Diane took Fantastic care of Winston for a week. It was so very nice to go on vacation and not worry about him. She genuinely cares and enjoys dogs, was super easy to work with, has a great yard, sent us pictures and updates. Winston was very well cared for and had a good time with her and Jackie. Thank you so very much Diane!!!!
Eden was wonderful with Scout. She took wonderful care of her and gave her lots of attention. She sent us pictures of Scout and a video as well as giving an update. She is knowledgeable about dogs and loves them very much. So thankful to have found her to watch Scout. She was very professional and focused on pleasing us as the client.
This was Jack’s first time staying with Elizabeth, and it couldn’t have gone better! He had a fantastic time playing with Murphy and came home happy and tired. Elizabeth sent photos and quick updates throughout his stay, which made us feel completely at ease. Jack even came home with a new favorite toy! We’re so grateful to have found Elizabeth and will definitely be booking with her again.
Had a seamless experience with Olivia! She paid attention to our rescue pup’s needs, such as avoiding encounters with other dogs due to his trauma, and provided us with updates throughout his stay. Definitely using her services again next time we need the help!
