“Sheila is extremely kind, professional, and loving to animals. She went absolutely above and beyond caring for my very rambunctious puppy and I was touched to see how much she cared. She is an excellent communicator and I hope I have the privilege of working with her and her family again’”
“My puppy, Fancy, was very well taken care of. I’m so happy to have found Courtney, and Rover. I will never board again. Fancy was with a family, getting 24/7 care and love. I was given updates and funny stories about my wild girl. Such a great experience!!!!”
“Once again Steve took care of our fur baby. Truffles was so happy to go back to Steve’s he didn’t even turn around to look at us. He walked right in Steve’s house like he lived there. We will continue to reach out to Steve to watch our baby boy.”
“We were so happy with the love and care Cheryl provided to our fur babies while we were out of the country for 10 days. She put our minds at ease knowing that are pups were in good hands. She kept us informed and updated to let us know our fur babies were happy and healthy! We will definitely use her again.”
“Natalia was very responsive and communicative. She shared pictures of our pup with us, and he always seemed to be having fun. When we picked him up, he was happy and exhausted, which is a huge bonus, as our puppy normally has an overwhelming amount of energy. We'll definitely be reaching out to Natalia again!”
“Very efficient in keeping me posted on my pup. He did better for her than me lol. Gizmo found his new best friends!! Never used a sitter before but so glad it was a great first experience.”
“We can’t recommend Colter enough! He took wonderful care of our Corgi Saffron for two stays recently. One overnight and one 6 night stay. He communicates promptly and his home has been very clean each time we’ve been there. Saffron had never been anywhere overnight and she was excited to see him when we took her the second time and we’ve already booked another stay with him. His dog Rumi is very calm and sweet.”
“We have trusted our doggie with Amelia and Matthew a few times now and we are so grateful for them! They take excellent care of him and keep us updated on how things are going. If you’re looking for sitters you can really trust, they’re the best!!”
“Kathi is awesome! She was very flexible when we had to adjust dates, and she is an expert when it comes to introducing new dogs to each other and then beginning the boarding process for a dog's first time. It's clear she's had a lot of experience and our dog seemed to really enjoy the experience. We will be using her again and again!”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
“Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable staying with Lauren, and we had a great experience with her! She was very quick to respond and set up a meet and greet, and she sent wonderful updates each day so we knew how things were going. We forgot to bring our dog's bed, but Lauren was kind enough to let Millie use one of the dog beds at her home. It made me feel good knowing how well Millie was getting along at her house, especially hearing about the friendship she developed with one of Lauren's dogs. We would gladly board our dog with Lauren again in the future!”
“Cheryl was great! I was worried Daisy might not get along with the other dogs but Cheryl assured me they'd be fine and they were. Within an hour I had a picture from her of them playing in the backyard. She sent texts and photos every day and I was very relieved (I'm an over anxious dog mom). Highly recommend Cheryl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Brittany was very friendly and allowed a 'meet and greet' before we formally agreed to boarding our dogs with her. We felt like she and her family understood golden retriever personality and activity level. She was great about sending pictures and updates. I was able to relax on vacation knowing that they were in good hands and having fun playing! Will definitely book again!”
“Luke was great again with the dogs! He has so much patience with them and they had a great time! No need to worry about your pups when they are with Luke, they are well taken care of. He is so easy to work with, we are so happy to have found him! This was there 2nd visit, and it was just so easy and smooth. Dogs had a wonderful time!”
“THE BEST ROVER!!! Gina took the best care of my two dogs and sent the funniest pictures and videos while we were away on our trip. We will definitely be using Gina again in the future for our fur babies!”
“Loved getting the photos of my boy while he was away from us. He always looked happy and well taken care of in every single one of them. He was very much loved and taken care of!”
“We had such a great experience with Dana! She was super dependable and easy to communicate with the whole time. We tossed a few curveballs her way, like meds and the fact that Dante is a newly adopted shelter dog with limited history, and she handled it all with total flexibility and care. Her place is such a great setup for dogs, and her two pups are so sweet and well-behaved. Dante clearly had an awesome time and came home happy. Would definitely recommend Dana to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“When we returned from our trip, Beemer (and doggie friends) were standing at the top of the stairs looking as happy as can be. His belongings were packed and ready for our arrival. We’re very happy and plan to have Matthew keep Beemer for several more trips we have planned!”
