1. Mario C.

“Mario was so great to work with. He was thoughtful, kind, sent lots of cute updates, and most importantly he treated Eiger like a part of his family! I felt super confident leaving Eiger with him for the weekend. Thanks Mario!”


2. Mildred P.

“I couldn't be happier with the care Mildred provided for my dog, Max. From the initial sitting it was clear Mildred genuinely love animals and take the responsibilities seriously. I appreciate the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Mildred to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


3. Cherissa P.

“I cannot overstate how amazing Cherissa and her family were. They loved and took care of my dog like he was their own. I got pictures and updates every day and she was so flexible which helped us out so much. I was nervous to leave my dog with anyone because we’ve had bad experiences with boarding facilities but he was so happy the entire time he was with her and came back happy and exhausted from 4 days of playing. I would absolutely bring him back to her if I ever needed a sitter again. She is the best!!!”


4. Thalya V.


“Thalya was amazing with Abbey! She was so warm and kind. She offered to pick up Abbey for free and even brought her a toy to make her more comfortable. Abbey wormed up right away and had an amazing time. I highly recommend Thalya and will use her again in the future.”


5. Brandie B.

“We left our two dogs with Brandie for a week long vacation. We had never boarded them for any reason before and were very nervous about leaving them with anyone. Brandie was sensitive to how our two small dogs might react to her large dog during the meet and greet, but there turned out to be no problems. She and her husband were very respectful of our pups and we left quite comfortable choosing her. During our trip Brandie sent us updates with pictures every day and it was clear our dogs were happy and being loved. They were often showed playing or being active during the day. Brandie was extremely communicative about all aspects of the stay. We will definitely use Brandie again if we need to travel without the dogs.”


6. Jennifer M.


“Jennifer was hands down the best boarding experience Nona has ever had! She has a beautiful and spacious home with large lawns on a quiet street - the perfect relaxing setting for our pup. It was clear Nona felt right at home with Jennifer and her partner and quite literally had her own vacation while we had ours! Jennifer sent plenty of photos and a few videos to keep us plugged in on Nona’s stay-cation and belly rub activity. I can’t wait to book with Jennifer again for future boarding and highly, highly recommend working with her! :)”


7. Maria V.

“I did not want to put my dogs in a kennel and was looking for a quiet home for the dogs to stay. Maria provided the perfect place for them. A quiet home on a dead end street where they were given long walks and personal attention during their stay. Maria provided video and pictures to us during their stay. I plan on using Maria again on our next vacation and would recommend her.”


8. Jeff H.


“We had a need to board our pet for 3 nights and have to say that we were fortunate to have discovered Jeff’s services. Jeff provided regular updates and pictures, it was clearly visible that our pet was happy & comfortable all along. On our travel back we got delayed by about 2 hours and Jeff was very understanding & accommodating to the situation. We had a great experience and will definitely be using his services in future.”


9. Cristian P.

“I love leaving Willow with Cristian and his family. My fur baby always comes home happy. He keeps us updated and sends lots of fun pictures to keep us connected while we are away. Definitely recommend!”


10. Gabriel A.

“Nori had an excellent time with Gab and Annie! We were lucky enough that they had availability for our girl for a last minute trip. She enjoyed having a great fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play! Perfect for the Zoomies! Would definitely recommend!”


11. Nayeli A.

“Nayeli was great! Excellent communications and expectations. We did a meet and greet to make sure Rosie and her pups got along. She was attentive to Rosie's needs and personality quirks, and sent lovely updates that were very reassuring. Will definitely book again!”


12. Loretta & Csaba G.

“I couldn’t have left my dog in better hands. She got to be active and play with other dogs and the owners were so nice and friendly! Would definitely recommend and go back to again ?”


13. Myla R.


“Myla was great! She was very communicative and flexible with our needs. Our puppy seemed to have a great time there and played a lot with her dog, which is exactly what he needs. Thanks!”




14. Beth and Ron W.


“Beth and Ron are wonderful and trustworthy people that I instantly felt comfortable with. When we picked up Bo after his stay he was a happy and warn out pup. We definitely recommend Ron and Beth to those looking for an excellent dog sitter.”


15. Jeanette H.

“Very friendly, attentive, flexible with scheduling, and provided regular updates with photos and video. Updates and communication helped put me at ease that my grip was well taken care of and doing well while I was away. Much recommend!”


16. Rebecca D.

“Rebecca is so wonderful with my Boston Terrier Elvis. He is nearly 14 and almost blind so I am always a little nervous to leave him in a new place, but it was obvious that he was well cared for with Rebecca. She made both of us feel at ease and it is so nice to know that Elvis has a home away from home. It make traveling and time away so much easier on both of us, thank you Rebecca!”


17. Brittany L.

“Brittany was wonderful with Cody. He is not used to be separated from us so we knew that he would be a challenge. I am happy with the treatment that Cody received and if the occasion occurs we will book with Brittany again.”


18. Lena D.

“I ran to rover in a panic when my plans fell through, Lena was right there and ready to help! This was my first time using rover and Lena made it such a pleasant experience. My babies were so happy! Constant, thoroughly detailed updates followed by tons of happy photos really showed how well they were doing and the detailed care and consideration Lena has for your pets. I can not recommend her enough and will definitely be back! Thank you so much!”


19. Janice A.

“Janice was wonderful to our dog, Zephyr. He can be a bit apprehensive around other dogs and she took the time with him and managed all interactions perfectly. She sent lots of photos and updates and it was clear that Zephy was having a great time and loving the company. I was also completely at ease and felt that my dog was receiving the best possible care and oversight. We can’t wait to visit Janice and her family again soon!”


20. Raenette W.
