1. Alexandra O.

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“5 Star Pet Sitter!! Words cannot express how happy I was to have John and his family take care of my 1yr old Bichon Frise.

13. Ariel W.

“Ariel was absolutely amazing. My boarding plans fell through on the day I had a 2pm flight, I contacted her that morning and she didn’t hesitate to accept my reservation! She kept constant communication and sent a bunch of pictures which were greatly appreciated especially since this was my first time leaving Nova with someone other than her normal daycare. She took Nova on long walks to the park and gave her a bunch of cuddles and just made her feel super comfortable. I would strongly recommend Ariel and plan on using her for boarding as well as daycare in the near future A++++”

“Initially, I was worried about leaving my sweet boy, Murphy, with anyone as he's never been without me. However, he had the time of his life; his own mini vacation. Royal & Rhonda provided lots of updates with pictures and comments. In every picture he had the biggest smile. It made me so happy to see him having such a great time interacting with the family. I highly recommend Royal & Rhonda and will definitely use them again!”
