They were great, they kept us updated with great pictures and news of how our dog was doing. I have no tips, keep doing the great things you’re doing.

Alton & Valerie took such great care of our dog while we visited Wisconsin for an extended weekend trip. We arranged a meet & greet with them for Chewy to get comfortable with their home and their sweet dog Ollie, which went great. Drop off and pick up was easy, and Chewy ran right inside happy as soon as he arrived. They sent us updates and photos and ensured us that our dog was happy and doing well, several times a day. Chewy was there during the weekend of the wildfires, and even with that going on, they kept us updated and we knew he was in good hands if they would need to evacuate. Thankfully they were all safe and didn’t need to. Thanks so much for taking such great care of Chewy! 🙏

My senior dog was given lots of attention and was well cared for! It was a last min booking due to the fires and they were more than accommodating. Uso has a pretty specific mealtime regiment and they were great at meeting his needs! I got daily updates with pictures that showed he was happy and adjusting well to the new environment. Thank you Alton and Valerie!

Alton and Valerie were so communicative during Queso's stay. They messaged me every day and sent me photos. This was the first time I have boarded Queso at another person's home, and 7 nights is the longest we have been apart in his 4 years. I felt so reassured that all was well and trusted them completely. I would recommend them without hesitation!

We highly, highly recommend Alton and Valerie!!! We’ve never left our pup Lily with a sitter, but needed to find one since we were attending an evening wedding. We’d driven to the Spokane area from Los Angeles and, therefore, didn’t know of anyone in the area who we could hire, but a friend’s daughter had used the rover.com app and recommended it. We were so thrilled to find Alton and Valerie who lived nearby the wedding venue. They responded within minutes of our initial inquiry and that was the start of continuous, outstanding communication. They graciously accepted our short notice for a sleepover and when we met Alton, we were immediately comfortable leaving Lily. As it turned out, due to fires in the surrounding areas, we opted to pick Lily up at 9:30pm vs leaving her overnight, which they were happy to accommodate. Alton had kept in touch with us throughout the hours they had Lily, sending us both fire updates and photos of her that showed our pup having a wonderful time romping with their own dog. Lily is a rescue we’ve only had for 7 months and has separation anxiety when we’re apart, but we saw no anxiety in her at all. She had a GREAT time and we retrieved a happy and tired dog! We are so grateful to Alton and Valerie for a very successful first experience.

It would be great to know how they interact with kids and other dogs and their sleeping and eating schedules. If they need any special care as well.
