1. Christine W.
“Christine was amazing! We’d never left Bailey with anyone but family, and not for more than 3 days. Christine answered our texts right away, and the daily photos she sent allowed us to see how well our boy was doing. We highly recommend Christine and would definitely use her again!”
2. Maegan K.
“Meagan and her family were wonderful with my girl, Sookie! Sookie needs to be around confident dogs and Maegan's two were exactly that. From the first moment we met, I knew that "we had a match" for my dog. All the pictures and updates from Maegan were reassuring and it was clear to see that things were going very well. She clearly loves all dogs and is very attentive and in tune with their moods and actions. Her home and fenced yard were secure, safe, comfortable and very welcoming. My one concern going into this was that Maegan has small children and my dog hasn't been around many. But I expressed my unnecessary concern and learned that her kids are as professional, sensitive and loving of dogs as their parents. Five stars doesn't seem like enough!”
3. Aunna S.

“Ollie had a great stay with Yueqian and her family. I knew how great a time Ollie had when I saw how much she didn’t want to go home with me. Will definitely trust Yueqian again with Ollie in the future.”
7. Jordan C.
“Jordan is amazing! We took our mini doxie to spend the night with Jordan and he had the greatest adventure! Jordan listened to all of our concerns as this was our first time boarding our puppy. Jordan was prepared and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and give MoMo lots of reassurance and exercise. She sent pictures and updates, that were much appreciated. We will definitely book with Jordan again.”
8. Danielle L.
“I highly recommend Danielle! I was very nervous to be leaving my girls with anyone besides my mom but Danielle did a fantastic job assuring me that it was like a vacation for them. She sent me pictures a few times and even worked with me when my friends decided they wanted me to stay longer than I had planned.”
9. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie is an absolute delight, compassionate, and well qualified. Our labradoodle is overly anxious and he was completely comfortable in her home. We often received texts and pictures to assure us that Cooper was content. We will definitely use Stephanie for future boardings.”
10. Bethany W.
“Good communication and Duke seemed relaxed when we picked him up! We appreciated her having him over the Thanksgiving holiday! She’s very sweet!”
11. Daniel R.
“How lucky we feel for finding Daniel! Our dog had the best time, looked so happy and seemed to really love Daniel. I’m grateful for the clear and quick responses and updates. We’re looking forward to next time!”
12. Amy H.
“Amy and her family do a fantastic job watching Howie when we are out of town. We can tell he feels at home in Amy’s family environment. We also appreciate the photo updates, which Amy does a great job of sending.”
13. Kaylah M.
“Extremely over protective of my pup Dzil, Kaylah and her family took great care of her. She sent photos while I was away made me feel comfortable. One word to sum up her stay.....Excellent!”
14. Jennifer & Martyn G.
“Jennifer & Martyn were brilliant. This was my first Rover ever and I am so glad it was with them as they put my mind completely at ease. They took in my Leo with warm arms and treated him as their own. Not only did they, but also their lovely 11 year Beagle Maddie did as well. He almost didn’t want to leave his new friends!! Thank you thank you thank you, we will definitely be using Jen and Martyn again! :)”
15. Jonathan N.
“What a fantastic find! Johnathan was amazing and my dogs seemed very well taken care of. We will definitely be using Johnathan again! Thank you so much for doing such a great job.”
16. Mandy M.
“We left our German Shepherd with Mandy for a week. She is an anxious and a reactive dog who is unsure of strangers. Mandy managed her so well that when we picked her up, we haven’t seen any signs of stress. Mandy having a fenced back yard was also an excellent benefit that our dog got to go out as much as she wanted. She enjoyed the week away with Mandy. You can leave your pets under Mandy ‘s care without hesitation.”
17. Taylor S.
“We had a great experience with Taylor and his family. They shared photos and updates while we were away and our pup even made some new friends while he was there. Would absolutely recommend!”
18. Alicia & Richard H.
“Awesome couple that I trust watching our fur baby. So nice and received multiple pictures and updates which I enjoyed so much. I was able to enjoy our family trip and never once worried about Luca. Highly recommend.”
19. Helena F.
“Helena was a wonderful dog sitter for my 9 year old dog Moose. She was very accommodating when I needed to adjust the drop off and pick up times, and took the time to get to know Moose before boarding him. I appreciated that she only boards one dog at a time, which allowed her to give Moose individualized care and attention. Throughout the stay, Helena sent me regular photo updates and captions about their activities. When I picked Moose up, he seemed happy and tired out from all the fun he had. She was attentive to Moose and ensured he was comfortable throughout his stay. Helena frequently commented on what a well-behaved and great dog Moose is. I would absolutely trust Helena to care for Moose again in the future.”
20. Katelyn D.
“We couldn’t ask for better dog sitters!! A+++++ So loving and sent updates, videos, photos often. We hope we can rebook with Katelyn & Kevin our next trip!!! Thank you so very much ❤️❤️🐶”
