1. Lisa F.

“Lisa took wonderful care of our active pup. She was a great communicator- sending pictures and updates daily. Simba came home tired (from playing) and happy.”


2. Tabby A.

“Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!”


3. Karen D.


“Karen kept my 2 English Bulldogs and a 10 y/o Boston Terrier for a long weekend and they came home healthy and happy. Her attention to detail (food, wrinkle cream and brachycephalic considerations for heat exposure) along with the ease of drop off and pickup will make her a top choice for future boarding.”


4. Justin & Stephanie W.

“This experience was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with my dog, he is a larger dog and Stephanie and Justin made me feel so secure every step of the way, they treated malc like their own and I really appreciate everything they did for three whole days, I was never worried or wondering what was happening. They respond super quick and are literally the nicest people ever. They fenced in yard was a major plus and the communication is top tier, please please please send your dogs here. I promise they will be safe!”

“We were very happy with the care our dog received while we were on vacation. We got numerous pictures, and our dog seemed to be on vacation too! Thank you for taking good care of Kona!”


6. Elizabeth G.

“Elizabeth took amazing care of our Goldendoodle Daphne for two nights. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we enjoyed a family vacation at Great Wolf. She was very communicative and friendly. We will definitely use her again when we return to GW! This was our first experience with Rover and our first experience with our dog being left in the care of someone else. Elizabeth helped keep our anxiety way down!”


7. Sharon M.

“Sharon and her family is great. My first impression was that I felt I was dropping my puppy off at my family's house, a place where he would be loved and cared for and not left in a crate while I was away. I've already been there twice and will be going there as long as I can when the need arises. Thank you Sharon!”
