6. Manli G.
“Manli did a fantastic job at taking care Kiwi for me! She was super friendly and very easy to communicate with. I wrote her a detailed note regarding things to keep in mind while my dog stayed at her house and she was very professional. She also took a lot of photos and videos when my dog stayed at her house which also comforted my heart! I would definitely reach out to her again when I need a sitter in the future! Will also recommend her to anyone who needs a friend and professional sitter! 😆😆😆”
7. Kathryn & Denis S.
“We are so happy we found Kathryn! Any time we travel, we have been worried about where our Weim can stay. He can be a nervous boy and needs truly excessive amounts of attention and love. I hate to leave him behind, but it’s so clear that he loves Kathryn, and her house has become as comfortable as home for him. She provided updates throughout our trip so we knew our boy was enjoying his own “vacation” while we were away. He was so happy upon pickup that we knew he was in good hands the whole time. Kathryn has really relieved so much stress so I know we can plan any trips without worrying about how he will be taken care of.”
8. Ji An L.
“Ji An is unmatched. She is an incredible dog sitter. She cared for our dog, Luna, for one month and went out of her way to make Luna feel at home and us at ease. We received daily updates, photos, and videos. Luna received multiple daily walks, massages, home-made healthy dog treats, and love. We were impressed with her knowledge as well surrounding canine health and nutrition. Book Ji An to book the best!”
9. Sid K.
“Our dog seemed to really enjoy her stay at Sid’s home. The front and back yards were very dog friendly. Sid’s dog, Plato, was a cute and enjoyable companion for their yard adventures. Sid followed our instructions and sent us daily updates which we found very reassuring. Looking forward to the next visit!”
10. Jesse & Kimmy R.
“My Border-Aussie (7.5 yrs old) stayed with Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho for 5 nights and 6 days (while I was 400 miles away with my kids). How can I describe their care? Heroic. Yes, heroic. My pup had not stayed at Rover or away from family in about 3 years - and had always had a great time at Rover hosts. This time he apparently decided to express separation anxiety with loss of use of rear legs and bowels for two days! Kimmy and Jesse were sending photos and text every few hours while I tried to get a mobile vet there (they don’t do emergencies it turns out). But we started to reason that all didn’t make sense based on timing! They got a lifting harness and diapers and were on full time watch. But I most regret the anxiety and worry they went through. By day 3 he was up and about and day 5 and 6 having a grand old time. Conclusion? Border Drama - yup it’s a thing. He does have some intermittent weakness in right rear leg but this was a true performance which they handled with so much compassion toward Jango and grace toward me. I literally do not know any friends or neighbors who could have handled situation better or who I could have trusted more. I’ve owned Border Collies for over 25 years and this was a new one even for me! They are exceptional folks who genuinely love dogs and are a blessing. They even took a photo they gave to me of Jango with the caption “Best Drama King” lol. Thku Kimmy, Jesse and Tycho!”
11. Charlotte C.
“so easy! Charlotte is very accommodating and took good care of my French bulldog who is a terribly finicky eater. She made her eggs every day. She sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date. Her two little girls were adorable.”
12. Emma H.
“Emma did a wonderful job caring for our dog Tilly! Emma was very easy to work with, marvelous with communication and regular updates, and a very kind and capable caregiver. Tilly took to her very quickly. Emma was also great at learning how our dog “communicated”. I appreciated working with her and highly recommend Emma.”
13. Kevin & Sarah W.
“Kevin and Sarah were so great! They sent us a lot of photos and videos from Banchan’s full day of doggie daycare. We appreciated the snaps as it allowed us to continue our day with more peace of mind. Would definitely board Banchan there again!”
14. Step C.
“Step was great with Ichigo! I was so happy to hear that Ichigo had a great time with his dog Hugo and his family as well. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!”
15. Lamija H.
“Lamija took really good care of our dog for an entire week, providing one-on-one care and attention. She is very sweet and responsive, and sent daily photos and updates. We will definitely leave our dog with Lamija again!”
16. Candi V.
“Candi took great care of Lava. She was easy to communicate with, and kept us updated about Lava with photos. She even went to the extent of making him dinner when he refused his own food! Will definitely go back.”
17. Allsun H.
“Allsun was amazing! My dog is very energetic and active and after a night and a full day with Allsun she was tired out and didn’t want to leave. I will definitely use Allsun again and I can tell Milli can’t wait to go back.”
18. Kelly C.
“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
19. Donna B.
“Donna is super nice, responsive, and genuinely cared about Jenga’s routine. She asked questions to make sure that Jenga will have what he needed during his stay at her house. Overall, good experience.”
20. Florence T.
“This is was first long stay for DD with Florence and family. It was truly a home away from home for DD! Florence took such a great care that we have absolutely no worries whatsoever! With constant updates and photo sharing you will make sure that your 🐶 is in amazing, loving and caring hands! Thank you Florence we will be definitely coming back!”
