1. Lee & Niv D.
“Lee and Niv were absolutely wonderful with my puppy and we will not hesitate to book them again! Their family was so sweet with Penny, and great at making us feel comfortable, especially since this is the first time we have used Rover with her. They were great communicators and very safe and organized. Our puppy was going through heat before we get her spayed, and they accommodated the extra hassle of that with ease, which we really appreciated. Their own puppy is also the sweetest. Penny will be in great hands when we return again!”
2. Undram E.

7. Kazuhiro & Akemi S.
“Kazu and Akemi were wonderful. I left my 2.5 yr old bernadoodle w them for 5 days while I left town. It was a huge plus they have a fenced in yard and had other dogs around throughout the stay because Benny, my dog, is very high energy. Kazu sent a lot of pictures while Benny was over and it was apparent he was very happy! I am very grateful for the care they gave my dog and will definitely reach out again when I go out of town.”
8. Nancyanne S.
“My two little doggies seemed to be quite happy in Nancyanne's home the weekend we were away. Nancyanne sent a picture too which was nice! We're planning another stay again soon!”
9. Nik H.
“Nik and his wife were wonderful! Our Golden girls had fun playing with their dogs and enjoyed long walk in their neighborhood. They sent us daily photos and even messaged us to arrange a pickup of one of their favorite toys we had forgotten after their stay.”
10. Ella V.
“Ella is outstanding! We've used her consistently over the past few years and always have the utmost confidence in her and know that Kona is receiving love and care that matches our own! I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”
11. Sandra & Sorin A.
“Sandra and Sorin were so loving, accommodating and took excellent care of our dog, Maple. They kept us updated with texts, pictures and videos of Maple’s adventures with their dogs, Ricky & Lucy while we were away. Maple got lots of walks, playtime and snuggles! They truly treated Maple like part of the family and I know she is already missing Ricky, Lucy and the rest of the family. I highly recommend them!”

16. Diana T.
“Diana and her family were so wonderful to our puppy, Obi! I was so appreciative of the updates and pictures of our puppy since this was the first time we have ever used a dog sitter. Obi even seemed sad when we got home since he bonded so much with one of their dogs! We will for sure reach out to Diana whenever we are going to travel again. Thanks Diana!!”
17. Jacob Miles F.
“Jacob was exceptional. He took in our 9 week old puppy Stella for a few days and took incredible care of her. From the initial meet and greet through pickup, he asked great questions, adhered to our requested schedule, gave her lots of exercise and snuggles, all while keeping us in the loop with daily status updates via pics and videos. We felt immediate trust and comfort with him and he did not disappoint. Stella will absolutely see him again soon.”
18. Lori & Guillermo E.
“I was out of town for a few weeks and wanted to ensure that my dog Ozzy had a cozy and loving place to stay while I was away because he definitely needs lots of attention and cuddling. Fortunately we found Lori and Will who took such good care of him the whole time! He truly was part of their family while I was gone and enjoyed plenty of play time with their dog Winnie and got lots of cuddles and love. Lori would regularly send me pictures so I felt much more relaxed and wasn’t worried about how he was doing. At one point Ozzy’s eye started to get goopy and they quickly reached out to me and we came up with a care plan together to ensure that it was handled quickly, which involved his meds and the vet. Lori and Will were also incredibly flexible as schedules and plans changed and were very understanding. I’ll definitely work with Lori and Will in the future and I appreciate their high level of care for Ozzy!”
19. Merrick R.
“Merrick took great care of Charlotte this past week. It was obvious that Charlotte felt very welcomed and cared for. The daily pictures and updates we received gave us peace of mind. I rebooked our next hosting without hesitation. Thanks again for the great service. -Dan”
20. Amy F.
“Amy did a phenomenal job boarding Jack, my large husky. She took him to the dog park daily, walked him frequently, and provided a lot of love and attention to Jack. She also provided some great insight in dog training that I intend to act on. I am grateful to Amy for being a dependable, honest, and enthusiastic dog lover.”
