1. Boris C.

“Bailey absolutely loved her stay. She came home relaxed, happy, and at peace. We were also provided with plenty of pictures and videos which made our night a relief! 10/10!”




2. Michelle V.

“Michelle did a great job with Bailey. She is very reliable and has a good system in place for caring for dogs. I like that she doesn’t take in a lot of dogs at once. I received updates with lots of pictures of Bailey. We are grateful that Bailey could play with other dogs and be in a safe home while we were out of town for the weekend. We would definitely use Michelle again!”


3. Rhondarose L.

“Rhondarose and her family were wonderful! She was able to accommodate all three of my rascal pups. She has two dogs of her own who are very friendly and welcoming. Rhondarose is very communicative and attentive to the care of her guests. Prince, Suba Rue, Jasmine, and I want to thank you again for the love and care provided. Do not hesitate to book with Rhondarose!”


4. Mary B.

“Mary and her family are wonderful. Hunter had a great time playing with Mary's two dogs and running in their big backyard. He also loved all the attention he got from Mary's son who made sure he got his treats and toys to play with. We are so happy with the care Hunter received from Mary since he has to have daily medicine and she made sure not a day was missed.”


5. Leigh & Richard S.

“Leigh and Richard gave absolute impeccable care to my special needs dog for 8 days! I have never been away from Annie (my dog) for that long and I was very concerned. After having 2 meet and greets with them, I realized that Annie was going to be in great hands. They followed all of the guidelines of feeding her 3 specialized meals a day, administrating her daily medicine and taking her on extra walks every day. She even got her daily belly rubs and lap time. They stayed in touch with me daily with phone calls, texts and photos. I don't think my surgical recovery would have gone as well as it did, if I was worried about Annie. I can't give enough praise to this wonderful dog care couple! I will never use anyone again except them!”


6. Laura B.

“My dog loved his stay here! From the beginning I felt like Ollie was in good hands! Laura was also very welcoming and sent over pictures. Thanks Laura! We’ll be back!”

Mr and Mrs. Ganesh took care of Mochi nicely and being patient even she had accident then tied for more often potty breaks for solution. They shared Some videos and pictures .”


10. Marta G.


“We've left our dog with Marta several times for both daycare and boarding, and she's been absolutely wonderful every time. She sends pics often and it makes us feel at ease seeing our pup having a blast with the other dogs and having her own little vacation while we're away. Highly recommend!!”




11. Julia M.

“Thank you Julia for everything! She sent updates on how my dog Autumn was doing. I felt comfortable leaving Autumn with Julia and we will continue booking with her for when we go out of town 😊”


12. Erena M.


“Erena is AMAZING. She really made sure my dog got the best care. I’m so happy I have found her as a sitter. I will definitely bring Sammy back. Sammy got to socialize and play all day with other dogs and I just got very good vibes. I’m so grateful for the amount of times she updated me with pictures and videos of my dog having a great time while I was gone. Thank you so much Erena! ❤️🐶”


13. Michelle F.
“Michelle was a great dog sitter!!! We did a meet and greet before to make sure the her dog and our dog meshed okay. That put me at ease going into our vacation. Also, it gave us some time to get to know each other. We got daily messages and pics that were fun to see. She has a fenced in yard and deck where the dogs like to pal around. Rosie seemed right at home at her house. Michelle is very communicative and very on top of your pups needs. I can tell she’s a true dog lover!”

17. Michael P.

“Michael was a great Rover sitter. He answered all of our questions during a meet and greet, so we’d feel comfortable leaving our dog with him. We got many pictures through out the week (as we requested) so we knew our pup was settling in well while we were gone. He was very flexible with dates as well when we needed to make a slight change to our drop off day. Would definitely recommend Michael and will consider him for future bookings for our pup!”


18. Judith B.

“We hired Judith to watch my 12 year old dog in her home. My dog seemed to really enjoy her stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”


19. Vicki N.

“This was Charlie's second visit with Vicki and he will be back. Vicki is an awesome care giver. She is easy to work with and provides great communication before, during and after the visits. The photos during the visit are very reassuring.”


20. Christine H.
