Vanessa and Paulo were absolutely wonderful with Teddy! This was his first time being boarded, so we were naturally a little nervous, but they made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring from the very beginning. They were warm, thoughtful, and incredibly transparent about what his stay would look like. They sent us plenty of videos and updates while we were away, and it was clear that Teddy was getting lots of love, attention, and care. They were also very respectful of his routine and made him feel completely at home. We could genuinely tell how much they love and care for the dogs they welcome into their home. Teddy seemed so comfortable with them, and we would absolutely trust them with him again. We’re so grateful to have found people who truly made their home feel like a second home for our little guy. Highly recommend!

We had such a great experience! This was Milo’s first time staying with a sitter, and they took such great care of both him and Luna. They kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We also loved that they got to socialize with other small dogs and even made some new friends. It was obvious they were well cared for, and we picked up two happy pups. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter for their small dogs.

They’ve watched my dog twice now and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They are communicative, patient, and very sweet. I would recommend them to anyone!

Alfie always has the best time with Vanessa and Paulo. They have watched Alfie for several long weekends but also longer trips and each time Alfie returns very happy; they always keep us updated in real time and leave us confident that Alfie is healthy safe and having fun with his other dog friends. Thank you always for being the best Rover sitters!
