“Anh is fabulous. Prompt with communication and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is happy with her. She sends the cutest pictures and videos throughout the stay. I am definitely choosing her next time I am out of town to take care of my dog. P.S. her dog Bubbles is an absolute delight and my dog loves Bubbles.”


“Eric was great and very communicative. Ozzy had such a fun time playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be utilizing Eric for future boarding needs.”


“Kevin was an incredible Rover sitter to board my dog with. He accommodated us last minute and had more organized systems than anyone I've ever boarded with on this site. He sent detailed reports every day about my dog's day with great pictures - I was showing these reports to everyone I was with for my entire trip! I could tell my Meri was in good hands with him. She was exhausted after I picked her up - always a good sign. And his dog is very quirky and sweet. They have a good setup lifestyle and house-wise. Definitely recommend Kevin as an intentional and detail-oriented dog walker.”


“Tomoe was FANTASTIC! Extremely nice, and welcoming personality. Felt comfortable immediately after our meet & greet session. She gave lots of updates with texts, pictures, and videos the entire weekend I was out of town. 100% recommend to anyone looking for Rover care. Bravo! 👏🏻”

“Another wonderful experience with Winn. He was very professional and communicative throughout the process. He took good care of our pup and sent updates.”



“We used Lace for boarding service when my husband and I were out of town for 6 days. I couldn’t be happier with Lace. She gave us daily updates and very flexible with drop off and pick up. She’s very experienced with dogs and I know my dog had a great stay with her and Ty. Highly recommend her!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”

“As dog owners, we all know how hard it can be to leave our little ones behind when we travel. I’m so happy to have finally found someone I can trust to ensure Edison is loved and cared for while we’re away. Jieming and his wife, Lauren, are incredibly caring, kind, and thoughtful. They took excellent care of Edison and kept us updated with constant photo updates. From the pictures, it was clear that Edison was receiving so much love, having fun, and truly happy. I highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again!”
