“Absolutely above and beyond care for my doggo! He loved his time there and got to be very active during his stay! I always hate leaving Sebbi when I have to travel but it seems he had so much fun during his stay!”
2. Shannon L.
“Shannon was so great with our babies!! She sent us multiple pictures which eased my anxiety. Both of our girls came back so relaxed. We will definitely send our babies back to Shannon in the future!”
3. Paula B.
“Paula was fantastic. She was very flexible when we had to schedule an early morning drop off and sent lots of updates. She definitely loves animals and treated our dog as if he were her own. We felt very relaxed knowing we didn't need to worry about our dog because he was in great hands. We have already booked another stay. We definitely would highly recommend Paula.”
4. John R.
“My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.”
5. Samantha A.
“Samantha and her family were incredibly kind, helpful, and flexible with our move to Roanoke. Our cats and dog seemed to do great with them for a few days. We will definitely have them stay with her next time we need help!”
6. Emily M.
“Emily does a great job with piper and piper is always super exited when we drop her off at Emily’s. She keeps us up dated with pictures and videos.”
7. Marah B.
“Marah was wonderful, our dogs had such a great time and we got daily evening updates/photos! Marah was great at communicating the boarding service and what we needed to bring which was just their food and drop off with a leash. She had them ready when we arrived, and we could tell they had a great stay! We plan to use Marah for all our upcoming boarding needs.”
8. Aran J.
“Aran was great. Took awesome care of my dog and was very responsive and flexible with the request. Will definitely reach out for future boarding needs.”

“Emily takes care of animals like they are her own. She engages with them on their level. She is caring, warm and loves to be with animals. She is also esponsible and kind.”
10. Donna B.
“Donna treats our Pebbles as good as we do! She is a wonderful caregiver and made our pup quite content while we were away. Donna kept us informed often sending pictures and notes regularly.”
11. Melissa H.
“Melissa was such a blessing! We left our Puggle and Doxle with her for 2 nights while we were out of town for a wedding. Melissa sent videos and photos for us throughout the weekend, letting us know how our boys were doing. She was patient and professional, and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our pups with her. We loved how flexible and understanding she was with us. Our dogs had a good time, because when we arrived home, they slept a good portion of the day. I felt safe and sure about allowing our dogs to stay in her home. She made it a breeze, and we owe her the world and more. If you are looking for someone who is personable and you can trust, please use Melissa.”
12. Lawdy L.
“Lawdy was great to work with! She watched our two dogs for almost a full week, after being asked very last minute, and she gave them the love and attention they needed while she had them. We also had our return flight canceled because of the Microsoft crash (July 2024) and we needed to get home, so we rented a car to drive home instead. It took us an unexpected extra day to get home to pick up our fur-babies, and she made it so easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Lawdy for your dogs. 💕”
13. Melissa L.
“Melissa was wonderful! Our elderly dog really enjoyed his stay with her. She was very accommodating. Buddy needed a little extra TLC and that's exactly what he received. We will certainly use Melissa again if she is available.”
14. Samantha A.
“Samantha is wonderful! I almost hate to tell everyone that because I don't want her to get so busy she can't watch my pup, but she is really very good! :-)”
15. Delaney K.
“Delaney watched our little chihuahua Neezy for a few days. She was very flexible in time we could drop off and pick up. She sent us pictures to let us know he was doing well. I know Delaney took great care of our dog and we will be using her again if we need to.”
16. Taylor D.
“They always take the best care of my furbaby! Excellent about sending updates and pictures. The only ones I trust taking care of my girl when I’m states away! (: Highly recommend”
17. Erin & Matthew K.
“Erin and Matthew were fantastic with my little guy. They kept me updated and sent lots of pictures ! They were kind enough to accommodate my buddy’s new fear of owl statues too :) Will book again !”
18. Laura B.
“Laura was communicative and took good care of Bella while we were away. It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel comfortable. This is a good option for dogs who want to be around other dogs and kids. Thanks!”
19. Leah C.
“Leah is super nice and cared a lot about our doggos and their safety during their stay. She sent tons of updates which showed them having a blast with her family. Because she only takes one booking at a time, it’s more direct and personalized - our dogs got to meet and play with a new buddy (her friendly dog) without being in a dirty kennel environment. I definitely recommend booking with her, and am sure we will be taking our doggos over for visits in the future!”
20. Michele A.
“Michelle was lovely. Our fur baby was very happy there. Michelle sent us photos and updates each day, which gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her!”
