“Nikki is so fantastic! I found her on a whim when I desperately needed someone last minute to watch my dog overnight about a day after her spay surgery. Not only did she provide the best care for my puppy, she also recommended I get a onesie vs. cone (which was so much better) and went through the hassle of unbuttoning the onesie each time she had to go the bathroom during that stay. Since then, I have gone to Nikki for both daycare and boarding and my dog LOVES going here, she sometimes doesn't want to leave which I love. Nikki and her family take such good care of Heidi and it shows, she is also so quick to respond and always seems to be available for all my last minute needs. I highly recommend Nikki to anyone in the area needing a good, reliable and kind pet sitter.”
“Rebeca was fantastic and I will definitely be using her again when I need care for my dog. She was so responsive, super easy to work with, and very accommodating. I could not have asked for a better experience, and doggo was very happy and well cared for. Would give 10 stars if I could!”
“We'd give a 6/5 if we could. Ariane and her family were absolutely wonderful with Lady. She had a great week, and really enjoyed playing with Ariane's dogs. We got updates every day, and it really helped us enjoy our trip more.”
“Zwany and Leandro were great with my pup. Peanut had so much fun! They provided regular updates and went above and beyond :) very sweet couple and will definitely recommend them! :)”
“Paul and Megan were excellent hosts for Kenobi. From the meet and greet I could tell Kenobi felt comfortable in their presence. They were very responsive and great at communication. The frequency of updates and pictures was just right and we came back to a healthy, happy dog. Would absolutely recommend. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“This was my baby's first dogvacay experience, so I was a bit nervous to start. After meeting Eileen, I quickly became totally comfortable leaving Simone in her and her kids' care. The family is very nice, warm and welcoming, and clearly loves animals. I received text and even video photos! Eileen listened carefully to Simone's dietary habits. I also like the fact that she is a nurse in case Simone ever needs anything special. The fenced in yard is also a nice plus. I will definitely use her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Katherine helped me through it! She sent updates and photos at the right cadence while I was away. We both agreed that a space with a yard would be a better fit for my husky mix if I should use Rover again, as he needs a lot of more intense activity. One small note is that my dog was barking at her cat during the stay, and there didn't really seem to be a way to keep them separated. He does well with my cat, but I guess not necessarily new cats! So just something to keep in mind that if your dog really does need to be separated from a cat, it's not the right space.”
“As usual, Gienna was wonderful, providing great care for Wagner. We got daily updates with photos and videos. Wagner clearly loves staying with Gienna and really bonded with Maggie. We feel really confident leaving Wagner with Gienna and have already booked more stays!”
“Donna and Roland couldn’t have been nicer to our dog. They were very warm and attentive to him and treated him as if he were their own. When he arrived for his stay with them he was on an antibiotic for a gingival problem and they were very responsible regarding his meds. We could not have asked for better care. Unfortunately our dog did not get along with their cat or we would be re-booking with them”
“Another amazing stay for Rosie with Lori and Billy! We are a repeat customer and have found each and every time Lori (and family) take amazing care of our Rosie girl. The most recent stay, our family went out of state to an area with limited cell reception. We have a lot of trust in Lori that we know Rosie will be happy and we’ll cared for. We got tons of pictures during the week and it made us so happy and able to relax knowing Rosie was having so much fun! We highly recommend Lori! Thank you for taking good care of our girl!”
“Natasha has been just wonderful to Brownie he seemed happy and all the pics showed it! I would definitely recommend Natasha completely to take care of your pet It was a wonderful experience ❤️”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“Allie and Anthony took great care of India. I received updates and photos every day. She was very comfortable and happy! I've already signed up for India to stay with them again.”
“Nice communications and Brewster was happy at drop-off, in pictures and at pickup. We had problems getting back and Hyesun and Bob were very accommodating as we were stuck overnight at an airport hotel! Location is wonderful for a dog as the walks in this part of Marblehead provide quiet streets and variety of sniffing :)”
“Krista was amazing! I would definitely use her again for my Charlie! She is a real dog lover and is very professional. I was nervous leaving Charlie for so long (12 days), but Krista kept me posted with pictures and texts. I would highly recommend Krista!!”
