1. Yiye & Ta Z.


“We were apprehensive at first leaving our two fur babies with someone new, but we had nothing to worry about. We received many photo and video updates on how they were adjusting, eating, sleeping, and playing. Yiye, Ta, Irene, & Pica, thank you for making them a part of your family!”


2. Jessica M.

“Jessica was amazing. She was quick to respond and sent updates and pictures throughout the day. It seems like Cooper had a great time. Will definitely use her again.”


3. Ginger C.

“Ginger was amazing with our dog. She had her for about 10 days. She was so communicative, sending photos and videos. Our dog was always with someone, as Ginger has family in her home. We really appreciated that since our dog is used to always being with someone (Covid puppy). We were nervous because Ginger is new to rover and didn’t have very many reviews- but we are so happy we took a chance on her! She has many years of experience with animals, working at dog rescues. She loved Nuna like her own dog. She took Nuna on walks multiple times a day, played with her, and gave her cuddles. We will always book with Ginger!”


4. Wendy D.

7. Francisco M.

“Francisco took great care of the pups. One of our girls takes a bit of time to warm up and he slowly introduced them in a comfortable environment. She got along great with his pups and we were happy to have them stay in a caring environment!”


8. Ratchanoo R.

“Bandit is so well taken care of here! This was his 2nd stay, we always get updated pics. She is so sweet and caring we will definitely book again soon.”


9. Christine C.

“Christine provided Excellent care of our two older dogs. She provided frequent updates and adapted to their different styles and needs. She went the extra mile by giving them a bath and expressing their glands on the last day.”


10. Daniel L.

“Daniel and his family were outstanding when taking care of our goofy handsome boy Neji. I think what separates them from other care takers, is how well they communicated during the duration of boarding. I received lots of great pictures, understanding of our dogs status in regard to his deficiencies, and awesome responses. Overall, amazing service and can be trusted. We will be booking again in the future.”


11. Amber L.

“There are no words to express how blessed we were to find Amber to watch our little fur baby. Amber and her family took such great care of our baby that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! She sent lots of photos to keep us updated on his stay with her, which was so reassuring. Amber was very open to having us visit her home before making a decision, which was perfect for an overprotective dog mom like me. LOL. Her house is spotless and cool, creating an ideal environment for our baby. She also ensured that our baby was never left alone, as he has never been without company. We are looking forward to our next reservation with Amber. Highly recommended!”


12. Robin L.

“Robin and her partner Craig took exceptional care of Gabby for 2 weeks I traveled off island. Gabby, who never meets a stranger, made herself at home and quickly integrated herself into their household. Robin sent me regular updates which put me at ease. I will not hesitate to use their services again.”


13. Shandri K.

“Shandri provided loving care for our pet Tuffee. She went out of her way to assure he was comfortable and safe. He came home in good spirits and it was like he had been on great vacation himself! We would want to book with Shandri again for sure.”




14. Lawrence & Janice M.

15. Robin D.


“Robin is awesome - she is responsive and took good care of my girl. I was sent nice pictures and took home a happy pup. Thanks Robin, see you again!”


16. Jean-Philippe R.

“We left our dog with JP and were so pleasantly surprised on how well taken care of he was. Our dog was taken on hikes, had a few photography sessions, and was given back in the best possible condition. I swear our pup almost seemed depressed to leave.”


17. Brianda M.

“We used Brianda Multiple times she is awesome with carrying for our dog and our dog is always happy when she watches him. Would recommend her 100%”


18. Theresa B.

“Tikki took wonderful care of Koko for the entire 2 weeks she boarded with her. We had daily updates and photos..we had no doubt that Koko was in good hands. We will definitely use her again in the future..we know Koko misses her already!!!”


19. Naimaj S.
“I cannot recommend Nai highly enough! She cared for my beloved Shiba Inu, Bo, for three months while I was abroad, and the experience was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Nai is incredibly loving, detail-oriented, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure the comfort, happiness, and safety of the pets in her care. Her smoke-free home is not only immaculate but also offers plenty of open space where Bo could safely run, play, and explore. Throughout my time away, Nai provided thoughtful updates, photos, and videos that made me feel completely at ease knowing Bo was not just being watched but genuinely loved. Nai’s natural attentiveness, calm energy, and sincere passion for animals set her apart. Bo bonded with her quickly, and I could tell he was thriving under her care. I wholeheartedly trust Nai and would gladly have her care for Bo again anytime. If you are looking for a reliable, nurturing, and professional sitter, Nai is the one. Your pet will truly be in the best hands. - Bethany”




20. Tracey M.

“Coco had a wonderful time under Tracey's family care, enjoying the company of several other dog playmates. He was well fed and received excellent care, particularly considering his back issue. I also received daily updates throughout his stay. We will definitely book with them again for our next trip!”
