“Loni and her family were so welcoming to my puppy! I had so much peace of mind in leaving him with them. She updated me and sent pictures. He was able to go in her fenced in backyard which I know he absolutely loved!! I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home because I knew he had such a nice time with Loni, her family and their dogs. Would 100% recommend to friends and family. I WILL be bringing my dog back to her!”
“Brianne is amazing! I could tell our dog was in experienced, loving hands as soon as I dropped her off. She provided clear communication and pictures updates through the stay. We definitely look forward to having her watch Cali again!”
“Exceptional Pet Care with a Personal Touch! Mrs. Rita and Mr. Brian provided top-notch care for my 100lb dog. They went above and beyond to ensure she had a wonderful time, even taking extra steps to help her interact with other dogs. Their thoughtful approach and ability to adapt to my dog s needs made me feel confident and comfortable leaving her in their care in the last several months! Their kindness, attention to detail, and clear communication (complete with photos!) make them outstanding pet sitters. I'm so grateful for their care and look forward to booking them again!”
“Ella LOVES her time with Kathryn and Teddy who is ALWAYS super communicative and has a positive attitude! We appreciate Kathryn and her patience so much and looking forward to future stays!”
“Yefan took such good care of my senior dog! Prior to drop off, she asked great questions about my pup, his needs, and how she could best take care of him during the week I was away. Yefan sent daily pictures and detailed updates. My dog was very happy and content when I picked him up! I won’t hesitate to Yefan again for boarding - highly recommend!”
“Angela was very communicative during my dogs entire stay. She sent several pictures and made sure I was comfortable. She also took my dog to the dog park and made sure she got her exercise. As a first time Rover user, I was extremely satisfied with my experience with Angela!”
“Yi was patient, caring and tolerant of my dog’s personality quirks. She kept me updated and sent pictures to reassure me that things were going well. I highly recommend her!”
“Hasber was great with communication and provided updates throughout our entire trip. Our kids loved seeing the pictures/videos he sent us. We will definitely be using Hasber again”
“Cindy was great with Winston! She kept me updated through out his entire stay. She took very good care of him, very satisfied. I will book with Cindy again soon.”
“Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!”
“Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.”
“Kelsey is absolutely wonderful! I always feel completely at ease leaving my dog with her when I go on vacation. Her place is perfect for dogs — the yard is huge, and there are other friendly dogs for mine to play with, which makes the stay extra fun. You can tell Kelsey genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She’s responsible, communicative, and treats my dog like one of her own. I’m so thankful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and caring environment for their dog!”
“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Brittany was with our pup, Hazel. Hazel is pretty sensitive and this was a new experience for her. We had no idea she would develop some anxiety during our time away as we had only left her one other time. During the first 12 hours of her stay, Brittany recognized there was an issue as Hazel hadn’t gone potty once. She notified me right away and continued to keep me updated throughout the day. We decided it would be best for the vet to check her out. Brittany couldn’t have been more accommodating during this whole situation. She brought her to our vet as soon as they could see her. It was determined she was just anxious in a new environment and they provided some medication to help her relax, which Brittany gave her throughout the week. The issue resolved quickly after. I am SO grateful that she was so attentive and recognized the issue so quickly. Brittany continued to keep a close eye on her and kept us updated all week. She provided many pictures and videos, which we loved. I know she was in great care while we were away. Brittany’s dog, Lola, was also so sweet and welcoming to our girl. Brittany will absolutely be the first person we ask the next time we need care for Hazel. I couldn’t recommend her more. She is THE best.”
“Clinton is a great sitter. He provided excellent communication while taking care of our dog. My dog was comfortable and safe while in his care. Would highly recommend!”
“Celinda and her fiancé were absolutely incredible! Kind, welcoming, understanding and it's SO clear they care deeply about the animals they take in! I truly couldn't say better things, I'm so grateful I found Celinda!”
“I could not rave high enough about Ashley! She accepted a last minute booking for my golden retriever for 3 nights without hesitation! I got so many picture updates and could tell Murphy had an absolute blast. Will be booking with her again!”
“Ashle was wonderful from start to finish! She kept us updated and sent pictures of our dog playing with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend her and thank her for taking such great care of our pup!!”
