Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶

I recently had to go on an international trip for 2 weeks and needed to find a sitter with very little advance notice. I cannot imagine a better choice than Ronald and his family. From the get acquainted visit, to the drop off, and entire two weeks Duke and Daisy spend with them, they were all very welcoming, loving and caring for my kids. The daily update pictures and occasional video showed what a great time they were having and how well taken car of they were. If you want your dog or dogs to feel as at home as they do in your house let them stay with Ronald and his crew. Duke and Daisy came home happier than ever.

Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!

We had the most amazing experience with Diana and her husband. They were so gracious to watch my pup last minute during the holidays and were so patient and loving towards her. I felt so comfortable leaving my loved one with them. My shy, “Covid pup” had great socializing-time with the other dogs and came home happier and even more well behaved thanks to the time spent with Diana.

Holly was absolutely amazing to Zoe! I sent her a pretty long note which definitely wasn’t expecting her to read it all but not only did she read it, she also was pertaining it to Zoe’s stay like with what Zoe is used to which I thought was so nice to see. She also kept us updated daily with photos and videos of all the hikes and activities they did which I absolutely loved! Thank you so much for everything! Will definitely want Zoe to stay again if she’ll have her!

We just used Gelare and Sama for the first time while we traveled for a week. Upon our meet and greet I could tell that they were warm and gentle, just the kind of people I knew my dog would be happy with. Everyday we were away they would send pictures, videos and messages with updates. They truly loved and cared for our fur baby the way we do. We are so grateful to have found them and will definitely be using them again when we travel. I would absolutely recommend anyone else wanting to use them.

Jenny was absolutely wonderful with Snuggles! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire experience stress free. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that Snuggles was well cared for and loved while we were away. Snuggles can be a little excited when she first meets people, but Jenny was so patient and caring with her. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which means everything to us. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jenny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

We had a great experience with Stacey and Christopher watching our pup Hudson. This was our first time having him stay with anyone besides family so we were nervous but it turned out great. They were super attentive, sent us a ton of picture updates everyday and even let us set up a meet and greet ahead of time. We loved that they only pet sit one dog at a time and they were happy to accommodate any requests we had. Definitely plan to use them again for future trips. Thank you Stacey and Christopher!

Wonderful experience with our 1 year old pup and an overnight stay! The communication was wonderful and we received many pictures throughout the day. We loved the fact that he went on so many walks, as an energetic dog, he definitely needs it! Also, our dog has some separation anxiety and what gave us peace of mind was that they were home the whole time with him. Our dog had the best time we will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our dog over the weekends!

Lisa took a great care of my 17 weeks old puppy. Even tho Mocha had a difficult time potting when it rained outside, Lisa was patient with her and tried everything to ensure she didn’t just potty anywhere in the house. When I picked up Mocha, I noticed she was even calmer than before and she was heeling better as well.
