Maki and Joel are exceptionally kind Rover hosts! They were patient with my anxious dog and communicated frequently with me, including multiple photos. I cannot say enough good things about them!

Maki and Joel were fantastic with Piper! They gave her so much attention, kept us updated the whole time, and it was clear she was in great hands. She came home tired, happy, and well cared for—we’d absolutely trust them again.

Maki is an exceptional host and we could not be more happy to have had our Sheepadoodle Moby stay with her and her family. Communication was excellent and they took the time to understand his personality so that his time away from us was peaceful. They are the best!

Maki is so kind, she agreed to watch Gin on late notice. Gin definitely had fun and Maki’s! Maki was great at communicating and sending pics of Gin throughout the day! Definitely recommend!

Makie took such great care of our puppy while out of town for a week. We are very pleased and happy to have found someone who loves our little one and had no problems with special requests/ instruction. THANK YOU MAKIE!

Maki and Joel and their family took great care of Ragnar. They treated him as part of the family and that really made me feel comfortable. I can’t thank and recommend them enough!
