We’re hesitant to write the glowing review Mike and Sarah deserve because we don’t want them to start getting all booked up, so we can’t have them look after our pups whenever we need them to. They’re by far the best Rover boarders we’ve found, and we’ve tried quite a few over the years. Their house is clean and inviting. Their own dog, Archie, is loving and playful and provided a great play companion to the more active of our two dogs. And Mike and Sarah are caring and loving people who cared for our pets like they were their own. Great, timely communication with lots of pictures while we were out of town. We felt totally at ease leaving Wyatt and PK in their care. 💯% would and will turn to them again for boarding in the future.

Michael and Sarah were great with my dog. My dog is not always easy but they handled everything with no problems. While she was happy to see me when I picked her up, she seemed very comfortable with Michael and their dog and that environment. I felt she had been well cared for. I left them a tip personally for my gratitude.

It was another great stay with Michael and Sarah. They are super friendly, easy to communicate with, and clearly love dogs. Our pup looked so happy in all the photos and updates — he was obviously well cared for and having a great time. They gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. I'm definitely booking them again — highly recommend!

Michael has been watching our pups quite a bit while we’ve been selling our house, and I so appreciate him taking some last minute requests. The pups get so excited when we pull up to the house!
