Top rated Media dog boarders
“I was incredibly greatful Donte was able to watch Marley very last minute after someone else cancelled 2 days before and another ghosted me after agreeing. Marley has never stayed outside our house, so I (and Marley) was so nervous, but he seemed just perfect.”
“Brian was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He sent daily updates and pictures of our girls, not to mention he has 2 beautiful golden retrievers himself. I could not recommend Brian enough and will absolutely be using him as our default watcher moving forward!!! 5/5”
“Andres was wonderful. Great communication prior to the stay. He welcomes the dogs in his house. One of our dogs actually slept with him. I couldn't ask for anything more.”
“Dave is an awesome person who has you and your pets best interests. He’s watch Asher twice and took care of him while I went away. You can trust him and he will keep his word. Would recommend to anyone. Peace.”
“We had a terrific experience boarding our dog with Aaron. He was a great communicator, asking good questions about our dog when they met, and then quick and efficient with texts while we were away. He also offered insights into our dog that will be very helpful now that we have him back. Our dog was clearly well cared for and enjoyed his stay, going on car rides, which he loves, and getting special treats and plenty of attention, as well as enjoying a large space to run around in their fenced back yard. We will certainly board again with Aaron next time we need it.”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Linda does an excellent job with our 2 dogs. They love being at her home and we feel they are well taken care of and safe Will continue to use Linda for our dog sitting”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time with Craig! He took him on daily walks to different parks in the area. He was also very responsive and sent pictures to let us know how our little guy was doing.”
“Porter had the best time ever! We got so many pictures and follow up and knew he was in the best hands. Will definitely use for trips in the future. Thank you so so much!”
“Chrissy is awesome! She took care of my nine year-old Poodle mix for a week. He suffered an injury to his back a few days before, which meant giving him extra medicine and keeping him from climbing steps. She handled the situation like a pro. It was the most low-stress boarding/sitting situation we’ve experienced because of her great communication and the obvious care she showed when dealing with Sailor—especially in his tender physical state. And she sent multiple updates everyday, with photos and videos. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Alexandria took excellent care of our miniature schnauzer while we were traveling for a week. She was very accommodating of our schedule and great with communication! Thanks, Alexandria!!”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Our first time leaving Max with Sangeetha and I was very nervous. Max, who was a rescue from a neglect situation, is aggressively affection. At 85lbs, he can sometimes prove to be a LOT. Sangeetha and her husband were wonderful with Max! He was so happy and comfortable with them (I have many pictures to prove it) and he came home better behaved than before he left!!! Sangeetha will be our sitter of first choice from here on out!”
“Olivia was so great with Babaganoush! She was very patient about all his quirks and neediness, and her frequent updates and photos made us feel at ease. So grateful he had a loving place to stay. Thank you Olivia!”
“Was thrilled to have Stephanie watch Clowe! I always got updates on how she was doing, and plenty of pictures! Next time I need somebody to watch my pup, Stephanie will be the first person I’m calling. Thanks!!!”
“Carly took great care of our Sassy during our long weekend away! She sent updates and pictures! Communication was very easy and we knew our dog was in great care! Thanks so much Carly!”
“I knew Kate before I found out that she was a dog sitter, which was great since I liked her from the start. Kate is mellow, kind, soft spoken, and easy to talk to. These are the perfect qualities that I wanted for my tender and loving Sunshine. Kate bonded with her in the most gentle way to make our special girl comfortable. Kate deserves not just 5 stars but accolades for making “us” relaxed/reassured with daily communication and such terrific pictures when we were away. I sincerely commend her and already told her about our next vacation. Anyone who wants or needs to be away from their dog should book Kate without hesitation!”
“When I first met Laura, I was impressed by how she handled my fearful and sometimes reactive dog. Her calm and confident demeanor and her caring attitude quickly won over Calvin. Within minutes of meeting Laura and her dog, Wally, Calvin was literally eating out of her hands. Laura not only gave me peace of mind during my vacation by sending me photos of Calvin and keeping me updated, but she also made Calvin feel safe and part of her family. I will definitely use Laura's services again!”
