“Ashley was a great communicator and sent me photos of my dog who looked so genuinely happy. She was wagging her tail and had a smile on her face and it was such a comfort to know she was in good hands and having fun! Thank you, Ashley!!”



“We needed to board Thomas, our 10 year old cat, a first, while we moved. I found Susie through Rover. I liked the idea of leaving him in a home. Susie was welcoming and understood what we shared about Thomas. She kept in touch with us during the 3 days and 2 nights he stayed with her.. Her daughter, Willow, spent quality time with our shy kittie & was able to encourage him to emerge from his hiding place. Overall, we would happily use Susie again. We thought Thomas was very, very well cared for.”


“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”


“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”


“Erica was available to watch Atticus on super short notice and helped me out in a pretty tough spot. Atty is comfortable at her place and gets lots of play time! We are super grateful to have found Erica for both daycare and boarding!!”


“Our plans changed suddenly due to a medical emergency, and she was very accomodating with pickup/dropoff as a result. The yard & house were spacious and lovely, and she kept our puppy feeling safe and loved.”


“Amanda is amazing. She sent me several pictures of Lilly. When Lil was being picky about eating she even made her sone food. I have used Amanda in the past and already have another trip planned for June. I would AND HAVE recommended Amanda for pet sitting. Thank you Amanda, Jamie and your Lil kiddo for taking excellent care of my Lilly”


“Shari was a perfect host to my pup. She sent pictures and messages of reassurance regularly. It was the first time I left Roxy to travel. Though I missed her, I was comforted by Shari’s communications. She followed Roxy’s schedule so when I picked Roxy up her transition was seamless. Thank you so much, Shari. From both of us. I appreciate your caring for Roxy so much.”



“Jean was awesome putting our minds at ease leaving our 2 babies for the first time ever. She sent us pictures and let us know how they were doing while we were missing them terribly! She’s a warm loving person and we’ll definitely want to use her again!”


“Abe did an excellent job watching Kovu over the week of Christmas. We had a very thorough meet and greet beforehand where he met both of the dogs and Abe reviewed all of Kovu's needs with me. Kovu is a Husky and has a lot of energy and sass. I really appreciated the structure he keeps with all the dogs in his home, I felt very assured that Kovu would be safe and cared for. I got pictures and some videos daily, he always seemed to be having a lot of fun and getting along really well with the other pups. I'm pretty sure he was sad to leave his new pals when I came to pick him up. Great communication, excellent care, would 10/10 recommend trusting your pups with Abe! Thanks again, see you next time!”



“Jamie and Nicole were amazing with my dog while I was on vacation. They sent daily updates and were very sweet to my pup. Their communication was fantastic and I could not be more appreciative of them. Will absolutely book with them again in the future.”


“Noemi was very proactive and communicative with me about Elroy over the days she was with her! We got lots of photos and felt like Elroy was well cared for 💖 Thank you Noemi!”


“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”


“Love how patient Jacob and Tara are with our pup. We can’t say enough about how caring they are. Our pup comes back tired from her visit, we know she is in the best hands. Thank you!”


“Megan once again went above and beyond in caring for Ginny and Miri over the past weekend. Great communication throughout their stay and the dogs were ecstatic to rebook! I can't recommend Megan enough for your pet boarding needs.”


“Bonnie was very sweet and took such great care of William for us while we went away for the night! She is very friendly, sends updates, took him on his daily walks & even got in a bonus play date! So thankful to be able to go away for the weekend and not have to worry too much about leaving William behind. Would highly recommend!”


“This was my pup, Charlie, first time boarding with Tommy, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Tommy is a true dog whisperer. He made Charlie feel right at home, and I received multiple daily updates with pictures and videos that showed Charlie having a blast and living his best doggy life. Tommy not only provides a lot of fun for the dogs in his care, but also has helped teach and reinforce good habits and manners in Charlie. My leash reactive little Boson terrier is making strides with his on leash walks (with me) like I’ve never seen before. You can tell Tommy truly loves what he does by the way he cares for the pups in his care. Charlie absolutely thrived under his watchful eye. If you're looking for someone who is wonderful with dogs, Tommy is your go-to person! Highly recommend! 5 out of 5 stars”


“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”


“Christopher took great care of our older dog over the holiday. Lots of pictures and outside time. Got in a scuffle with his young pup but it was somewhat expected with our dogs temperament and he let us know right away. Thanks Christopher!”


“My Sheltie, Larry, made friends with cats, dog, and a visiting dog. Wayne reported he did very well. Thankfully I had no worries while I was out of the country traveling. My dog was very happy to see me although I had worried that he would forget me.”
