“We absolutely loved our experience with this amazing couple! From the moment we dropped off Pepe and Penelope, we felt completely at ease. Meghan sent tons of adorable pictures and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pups were not only well cared for but truly welcomed like part of the family. Pepe and Penelope seemed to gain new best friends with their dogs, which made it even more special. It was a full Pom Party! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with them again!”


“There are not enough great words to say about Christine and the care she and her family gave to my precious Roscoe! I contacted her at the last minute and she was willing to care for my Roscoe for ten days! It broke my heart to leave him, butt Roscoe took to her right away. Christine sent texts and pictures many times a day throughout his stay with her. Roscoe looked happy and like he was having fun with the other dogs too. Christine's family showed such love and care for Roscoe, and that made it a bit easier for me to have to be away. She even gave Roscoe a bath!! If I ever have to leave town again, I will only leave Roscoe with Christine, and not anyone else! 5 Stars is not enough for the love and care they gave my baby boy !!”


“Lacey sent plenty of updates while she was watching Penny and it seemed like she had a great time. Lacey was an incredible host and I will be looking for her to watch Penny again in the future when needed!”


“Anyah was amazing with our energetic dog. Took her on daily walks and runs. Our dog was very happy during her visit. We received daily reports that eases the “dog mom guilt”. This allowed us to fully relax on our trip knowing our Wendy was happy”



“Nicholas did so well with Lucy. He wasn't even that excited when we went to pick him up. We have had a few bad experiences but Lucy was so good with Nicholas, she sent me updates about his day and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”


“My wife and I have been searching for the perfect words to describe our experience with Nancy, and I’m excited to share just how wonderful it was! From the moment Nancy invited us over for a meet-and-greet, any concerns we had were quickly put to rest. Her warm welcome and her family’s positive, uplifting energy made it clear that Bruce would be in excellent hands. Nancy’s thoughtful care included daily walks to help burn off Bruce's energy, and she kept us updated with daily pictures, so we could see how happy and well-cared-for he was. She also managed Bruce’s eye drops and insulin shots with ease, giving us one less thing to worry about. Thanks to Nancy, my wife and I could relax and truly enjoy our anniversary trip, knowing Bruce was in the best possible place. To top it all off, Nancy’s prices are incredibly reasonable—possibly even too fair! We wholeheartedly recommend Nancy for dog boarding and care. Not only is she exceptional with dogs, but she’s also a genuinely wonderful person.”


“Cameron is thoughtful, attentive and provides daily updates with photos and videos, which helps relieve our stress while we are away from our pet. He is dependable, very accommodating and provides excellent service at reasonable rates. He makes sure that our pet is having good time. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone.”


“I’ve heard of Rover app but not really familiar with it. Erika is AMAZING! She has given our dog great care while we were gone. I felt like it was last minute but she was definitely able to accommodate us d/t family emergency. She updated us everyday thru the app and even sent pictures! Her own dog is great with our dog as well. We will definitely book again with her to watch our dog.”


“Renee and Gregory were absolutely wonderful with Archie! So glad I could leave him with such a sweet family while we were gone for two weeks!”


“The best boarding choice I have ever made! Brooke, Ryan and Shep were a perfect fit for us. They were so well cared for. I am just elated. I wouldn’t take them anywhere else now.”


“Malcom and his wife were AMAZING! I got pics and videos everyday ! My dogs were so pooped when they got home! They were so loving and attentive to our boys. I didn’t worry one bit while we were on vacation.”


“We booked last minute and was such an easy process! They were so quick to respond and super helpful. I know Koda had an amazing time there and we will definitely be bringing her back in the future!”


“We really appreciated the quality care for our Pom. There was lots of communication and we felt comfortable being away. We received daily updates like we had requested, and will book future visits again!”


“Thank you so much! Buddy loves staying with your family! We are able to enjoy our time away in full confidence that he is safe and having a great time! We call your place "Buddy's resort vaca"!!!!!”


“Danielle and her son took great care of my dog. I got a daily picture and food update since my dog gets nervous and doesn't eat well in new environments. I had to move my pick up time, and Danielle was very flexible and worked with my schedule.”


“Ludo had an awesome stay at Aimee's place. Aimee and family were wonderful, they took great care of him. Ludo made a new friend with Remi, their sweet little cockapoo. Aimee kept in touch via Rover app and WhatsApp and sent us photos and updates regularly. We will definitely board Ludo with Aimee again in the future.”


“Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Rex! She was super communicative from the start, kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, and made sure Rex got plenty of walks and attention while I was away. It was clear she really cared — and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was also really responsive whenever I had questions or just wanted to check in. Definitely someone I’ll trust again in the future.”


“Absolutely wonderful experience! My pet was so well cared for and loved during the stay. The host kept me updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell they truly cared and treated my pet like family. I will definitely book again!”

Raphaela is appreciated for taking such wonderful care of our diabetic dog, Bonnie. She was reliable and followed all instructions for her insulin injections perfectly. She sent us regular updates and photos while we were away. We came home to a happy, healthy Bonnie. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience with Pavana Place when my dog Zoro stayed there for a day. They kept me updated throughout the day with updates, which really put my mind at ease. Zoro came back happy and relaxed, clearly having enjoyed the attention and activities provided. I highly recommend Pavana Place for anyone looking for a caring, safe, and fun place for their furry friend!

Marki was an outstanding sitter for our puppy, Milan! She went above and beyond, giving Milan a bath and washing all her things. We loved receiving frequent updates and adorable pictures, which reassured us that Milan was happy and well taken care of. It’s clear that Marki genuinely cares for animals, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her exceptional service. Milan had a fantastic time, and we’ll definitely be booking her again! Highly recommend!
