“Absolutely amazing experience! They were very thorough with consistent detailed descriptions of their activity, as well as pictures/videos. You can tell a lot of care and love is always put in as well. Our pups had a lovely time. We will be using Happy Tails every-time we go out of town!”
“WOW! I cannot stress enough how happy we are that we found Cece. She was so sweet and kind and super communicative during Cash’s stay. Her two pups got along great with Cash, and he clearly had a blast during his stay with her. She was also very through when we arrived since it was his first stay with her and showed me the beautiful back yard Cash would have to play in during his stay and made sure he was secure and I was comfortable with him being in her home. It was such a great experience, I seriously cannot recommend Cece enough. Cash even came home with a personalized stocking, which he loved! You can tell she truly loves taking care of her clients pups!!”
“Joshua took amazing care of our dog Mya while we were away. From the start, they were super responsive and made sure to accommodate everything we needed. During Mya’s stay, Joshua kept us in the loop with regular updates and cute photos, which really put our minds at ease knowing she was doing well. Plus, when our plans changed last minute, they were totally flexible and made everything stress-free for us. We’ll definitely be reaching out to them again next time we need a sitter!”
“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Elvis was happy when I picked him up and was obviously well cared for. Kristin provided updates via pictures and commentary, he was always smiling for the camera, haha. So glad we found her… we will definitely use her again.”
“Windell took good care of our 11 year old diabetic tortie. Our trip was delayed a day due to hurricane Helene, so he was very accommodating and communicated well.”
“I would definitely have Jariah watch Belle again! She was super flexible, kept me updated throughout the stay, and Belle seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked her up. You could tell she was well cared for and had a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Kory was amazing with our little girl Duo! He was very communicative and sent picture of Duo the entire time. She was very happy and content when we picked her up, will definitely be using Kory in the future!”
“Janet is a wonderful pet sitter! She kept us informed with pictures and videos nearly everyday of our dog’s happy adventures and play with the other dogs. He came back to us in really good shape with no signs of stress and went right back to our routine when we picked him up. We will definitely return our dog to Janet’s care during our next trip away.”
About: I am an animal lover, and most importantly when it comes to your pet, I will love and take care of them as if they were my own. I have had all types of pets such as dogs, hamsters, and even bunnies. It is a passion of mine, and I am looking forward to providing a loving, fun experience for your best friend! I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!
“Chante was great with the fur baby. She was in constant contact and very attentive. Communication was great and she took great care of my baby. Would definitely use her again.”
“Lynne and Chuck were both so kind and loving with our puppy Sophie. Lynne responded promptly to our messages and sent pictures and videos of our girl, which warmed our hearts while we were away from her. We also appreciated that they could accommodate a pick up and drop off since our schedules were very tight. Sophie came back to us a happy pup.”
“Maxine is the best! She always takes such fantastic care of my boys, as if they were her own. She puts their comfort above all else and is fantastic at communication and pictures. My dogs love her!”
“Sharii is absolutely amazing with Millie! Every time we get near her street, Millie starts whining because she’s so excited to see her again, it’s the sweetest thing! It gives us such peace of mind knowing our baby is in such caring, attentive hands. Thank you, Sharii, for treating Millie like your own 🩷”
“Trevor went above and beyond for our first time using Rover and our dog Henry's first stay anywhere besides a facility. Communication was open the whole time including photos of our fur baby living his best life. Trevor was very thorough with information and questions regarding care. Absolutely would recommend booking Trevor!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.
“Really appreciate the daily updates and pictures of our dogs while we were away. Thanks again for taking such great care of my little old pup and my wife’s diva dog. You have always been a big help!”

I have used this sitter so many times and review them so highly every time, but they deserve it! Every time they really make it so easy and they take such great care of the dogs and are so fast to respond. It’s so hard to know who is the right person to watch your dogs but this sitter has really open availability and the dogs come back tired but not gross. 10/10 recommend!
Chante's boarding service was exceptional. She is a great communicator which made for a very smooth meet & greet, drop-off and pick-up. She provided daily photos and videos of my dog in and out of the house. Upon picking up my Staffy, I realized how better behaved and obedient he was to commands (specially sit and stay). I contribute this to Chante's knowledge and experience with dogs and other pets. I am very pleased with my overall experience and would definitely book with Chante in the future.
Fist time using Rover, and was not sure about leaving Jack for a long weekend. Joshua and Jenna were great, from initial contact through meet and greet and the actual stay this weekend. Thank you for watching Jack…. He seems to have had a great time at the Blue Merle meetup!! And thank you for the pictures.
Joann was amazing with our girl Callie! She gave frequent updates and her dog Murphy was a perfect furry friend. She was so sweet with our girl, and I felt that I could fully trust our fur baby in her care. I would highly recommend Joann and would definitely rebook! 🐶❤️
Maggie was very well taken care of with Madelyn! She got plenty of time outside and plenty of cuddles! Madelyn was great about sending updates/photos. She’s great with communication and super nice and accommodating. Highly recommend Madelyn to trust your pet with!
Kory was a wonderful dog sitter for the second time! Both were long stays around 3 weeks and my pup did wonderfully. I got pictures and updates. The communication was consistent. My pup can be picky with other dogs but Kory made sure we had a meet and greet - I was happy my pup made some friends! Would recommend.
Lizzie comes home happy, healthy, and unstressed when she stays with Delaney and Alex. They are gentle and patient with Lizzie, who is a senior dog. I appreciate all the pictures and videos Delaney sends me of Lizzie while I am traveling. Lizzie has stayed with them twice for a total of about 3 weeks and we have had no problems. I would not hesitate to board Lizzie with them again.
I have an overly affectionate Bernedoodle that could easily be too much for some people but Emily was so good with her. She gave me regular updates and even some solid feedback about how we might make overnights go even smoother. Our dogs are like our children so it’s important to find someone that you trust. I highly suggest you consider Emily for your dogs care
Carley is awesome!! She was able to take Peenut with less than a week’s notice. He felt right at home as soon as he walked in to her house! She dropped him back off at my home on the agreed upon time. He was happy and healthy when I got back home to him. Will definitely use Carley again for overnight boarding!! Thanks so much for taking care of my lil nugget 🥰
