“This was my Kobe’s 1st overnight stay away from home and I am personally Grateful for this family 🙂 They took such good care of my dog while he was in their care. From the walks and the feedings, he even made friends while he was there Lol I will definitely be bringing him back…”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“This is the first time i boarded my pup, and Allison gave me a complete peace of mind. Allison and Mike really took Benny with love and enjoyed him as much as i do. Benny had a blast with his friends at her beautiful house and I couldn’t have had it better. I would love to come back again, I would’ve been a regular if she lived in my area!”
“Kevin and his family were awesome! They took great care of Pippa with long walks and lots of play. They even bought her a toy that she absolutely loves. This was the first time Pippa and I were apart for several days, and Kevin kept me up to date with texts and pictures. I was extremely pleased and would definitely book with them again!”
“Our pup had a great time - such a wonderful location, he gets to spend a lot of time outdoors and with a lot of other dogs! We are definitely booking again. Thanks so much Pam and Mike!”
“I had a last-minute cancellation and urgently needed someone reliable to care for my Kaine, my big German Shepherd with medical needs (including a paw abscess). This family was absolutely amazing! Their home has a lovely fenced-in yard, their kids were kind and gentle, and their own dog was fantastic. I was a little nervous at first because their dog is big too, but he’s a bit older and honestly wasn’t too focused on Kaine — he was more interested in me! That made Kaine feel so comfortable and helped him settle in without stress. Kaine can sometimes be nervous or reactive with dogs that are too pushy or don’t give him space, but their dog was incredibly respectful and welcoming, creating the perfect environment for Kaine to relax. She (the sitter) was soft-spoken, maybe a little shy, but extremely communicative, attentive, and thoughtful about every need I had — even the little things I was worried about. Pickup and drop-off were smooth, and I was so impressed and grateful for the care they gave. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone needing reliable, loving pet care!”
“De'Andra and Robert were fantastic. They kept me up to date with photos and videos from Winnie's stay. I had some weird scheduling issues and the worked with me to make sure my baby was taken care of! Crosby was also very welcoming to my pup :)”
“Anton was great. All was good. Professor is old and set in his ways, but he was obviously treated well and the photos & videos sent while he was there show him very happy. As far as I can see, there is no down side with leaving your Pet with Anton. We will definitely do it again.”
“Kathy took great care of my cat! It was my cat Lydia's first time staying somewhere new, and she made herself right at home at Kathy's. Kathy was very attentive and responsive, and Lydia loved watching the birds on the deck! I would definitely recommend Kathy and would book her for Lydia again.”
“Vivian did a great job watching my dog! She gave very good updates throughout and it seemed like he had a blast with lots of time running around in her nice big yard. It is very clear Vivian loves animals and treats all the dogs she watches like they are her own.”
“Dana and Jonathan took care of my dog in their home for a week while I was away. We had a meet and greet prior to scheduling the stay to make sure it was a fit for all involved. After I received the first pics they sent, I could tell that Murphy had found a loving, temporary family and home. Any doubts I had were squashed when I saw him sleeping soundly on the bed and laying with one of his new buddies. They treated my boy like one of their own. He was tired when I brought him home and that’s a good thing. I recommend this great couple and will definitely use them again. Thank you Dana and Jonathan!”
“Very responsive and fast communicator! Friendly, accommodated a meet & greet visit in advance, and willing to let me come in their home at drop off. Our dog came home happy and healthy! I had never used Rover before, and this was a very positive experience.”
“Rachel and her family are so loving and warm bunch. They were absolutely wonderful with our golden Kobe. She was great about communicating when needed and sent us pics daily. He had a blast with Rachel’s kids and she even took Kobe on walks which was so important to us. Thank you Rachel!”
“Nicole made us feel comfortable by letting us know about her place and setting during our meet and greet for the first time. She and her family were welcoming, gave us peace of mind about trusting her with our dog. Nicole has cared for our dog twice so far. She makes sure to communicate her schedule during pick up and drop off times. We received pictures of our dog during his boarding time. She and her family shows love Nd care for our dog.”
“We have such a hard time trusting anyone with our pup Ziva but we love Maura! She takes Ziva on so many walks and loves her like her own pet. We’ve used her a couple times now and will continue to use her❤️”
“Yvonne and Gemma were incredible with our pup. She sent tons a photos and treated Danner so well that he was sad to come home! We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Sarah was very nice and her dog Charlie was very good with my dog, Lester! Lester loved walking multiple times a day with them and the one-on-one attention he got while we were away. Sarah was great with daily updates and sent loads of pictures of Lester’s day. I will definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!”
