I needed a place for our little dog to stay for the long weekend. And I wanted to make sure all his training rules stayed in place. We are training him from a rehoming situation so it is an important transition period. Margarita and Ramon have a lot of experience with boarding and fostering. I did not have to go into long explanations about what was needed. They understood exactly what our plan was and kept up the plan all weekend without issues. I received daily video updates. When I picked up our little buddy he was relaxed and happy. He was comfortable with Margarita so I know he has been at ease in the house. Margarita had another small dog boarding on tge weekend which was an appropriate match for walks. They also have a low key larger dog whom I felt was calming for the house atmosphere. Overall I feel confident to return my dog for another stay without any concerns.

Hollie and her husband cared for Rainey like their own. They kept to her routine, gave her medicines when needed, and made sure Rainey got plenty of exercise and playtime. They sent many updates every day. I was very comfortable leaving Rainey with them for the first time (for two weeks), she warmed up to them very quickly. Thank you both!

Bonnie and her family are amazing! Sesame is an anxious baby, but everyone in her family gave him so much love and hugs that he immediately settled in. Bonnie shared many photos with me throughout his stay so I could see how he was doing. She was also very communicative, especially about his meals, since he’s a picky eater who’s not very good about finishing his food. She and her family really went above and beyond to care for him! I would totally stay with her again!!!

My family and I were so lucky and fortunate to meet Monica. We scheduled a last minute weekend getaway to Canada and were able to run to meet Monica and her lovely family, who were able to look after our Bella (Cane Corso). Monica and her family did not only take great care of Bella but she treated Bella as one of her own. After we returned even Bella displayed sides of missing Monica. Great communication, she sent us photos of Bella and updates. If we ever need somebody to look at our Bella when we go somewhere, we will only leave her with Monica. Thanks you kindly!

Isbath and her sister were so friendly and took such great care of our dogs. They provided us with updates and photos throughout their stay. Their dogs are so sweet and got along great with our dogs too. We needed a sitter last minute as ours cancelled and they were very accommodating. They have a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood with a fenced in yard. We would recommend your pets staying with this wonderful family of four and the next time we need a sitter, they will be the first ones we call! Thank you so much for taking the best care of our dogs!

Tynesha and her family were fantastic, sending photos and quick updates throughout our pet’s stay with them! He came back to us happy and healthy (and probably missing his new temporary family a little bit, too). It gives me great peace of mind to know that, if/when we next have to go out of town, we have this great option for our dog!

Melodie was AWESOME!!! She treated our Trinity like family. Melodie communicated with us daily with updates and photos. We’ve used pet hotels in the past, and it usually takes days for Trinity to get back into the swing of things and be her normal self, upon picking her up she was her usual ball of energy! :) I know my pup well, and she was truly happy with her stay, and so were we. We will definitely be checking Melodie’s upcoming availability for the remainder of the year, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a safe and secure, but also caring/loving space for their fur kid. I can be a nervous and most times overprotective pet parent….So I’m glad we met Melodie, as I said at the top of this review…..She’s AWESOME??????

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾

Stacia is simply the best! My pup stayed with her for a week after me using her months ago and my dog was thrilled to see her again! Stacia sent me daily updates two or three times a day while I was on my business trip including photos and videos. It is such a relief to know my fur baby is truly with family when I am away. My dog is treated like a member of the family when she stays with Stacia, so we’ll cared for and loved - customer for life!

My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!
