“Charlie does so well with Maureen every time! He comes home happy and relaxed, which says everything. She’s great about communication and sends updates/photos, which I really appreciate. I feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care and will absolutely book again.”
“Cooper always has a great time with Travis and Sophia! I can rest easy knowing he’s being well taken care of! I love being able to watch him on the video provided. Thank you!”
“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”
“Willow was so so happy from the minute she hopped out of the car! She bolted straight into Tanya’s home and didn’t think twice about leaving us. Tanya did a great job of balancing Willows time there and knowing what she needed. She will be happy to go back, like visiting a family friend :)”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“Kyle was absolutely fantastic! He watched our Alaskan Malamute puppy over Thanksgiving week—her very first time being away from home—and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. At just shy of 5 months old, she had never been boarded or stayed anywhere else, so I was incredibly nervous. Kyle put my mind at ease right away. Not only is he genuinely kind, but it’s obvious he truly knows, understands, and loves dogs. He was responsive the entire week, sent plenty of photo updates, and even brought her along to his family’s Thanksgiving dinner, where she got tons of love and attention. When we picked her up, she was still the same happy, wiggly bundle of joy we left—clearly well cared for and comfortable the whole time. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind he gave us. Absolutely would recommend Kyle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pup!”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Such a great stay for our dog! It was the perfect place for him to have love and attention while we were traveling. Great communication and many updates with pictures! Highly recommend!”
“Jana is wonderful with Murphy. Her kids adore him and it seems that he reciprocates. He always comes home happy. 😊 This was the second time Murphy had stayed with Jana and been very well looked after.”
“Laura and her family were awesome with Penny! It was our first experience with Rover and it was wonderful. Laura sent pics daily with updates and Penny was so comfortable and at home with her family. Wow, and we picked up a sparkling clean happy dog which is a big deal when it's Minnesota mud season.”
“Leza provided outstanding care and updates while we were traveling. Our dog was walked multiple times per day and enjoyed time outdoors with Leza and her family. I highly recommend Leza for dog care. She is a standout caregiver.”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“Shreya watched my 4 year old Bernedoodle for 10 days. From the meet and greet, I could tell he would be in good, attentive hands. When I went to pick him up, he stood in the foyer with an “I live here now” look on his face. Clearly, he had a good time! My return flight was delayed and Shreya was very accommodating with modifying pickup. The videos she sent helped put my dog-mom heart at ease. I highly recommend Shreya to care for your fur babies!”
“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”
“Promise took great care of my dog, he made friends with her dogs, and he looked great when we picked him up him up. Would definitely recommend her, and bring him back again!”
“My dog had a great stay! Manami was great with Kyrah and sent lots of pictures of her while I was away. I know my dog has a lot of issues with anxiety in new people, but Manami took care of her like she was her own dog. Recommend and would book again! :)”
“Thanks Ali and Walker for taking such good care of Stetson while we were away! I appreciated the update and photos as well. I would definitely recommend for anyone who needs to find dog boarding in the future.”
“I really enjoyed having Lucy stay with Linnea. She communicated well, asked great questions, and really made sure Lucy would do well with them. And Lucy seemed really happy there! I will definitely use them again. Thank you!”
“Carine, Eric, and family were AMAZING with my two dogs, I got so many updates and pictures and know my girls were getting the best care while I was away. I highly recommend them for pet care!”
