Michael did a great job with our puppy. She had never been boarded before and was very nervous, but Michael was very attentive to her and extremely responsive through text message with photos and updates the whole stay. 10/10 experience

Excellent! Took wonderful care of my puppy dog… Feed, walked, cared for 💓 Almost thought Ravioli wouldn’t want to come home! 🙂 Plenty of photo & video updates. So glad to find her and will absolutely request her again… In fact, I’ve already recommended her to one of my neighbors. Ravioli & I are very appreciative of your care, Melissa, thank you!

Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!

Gabriel was great!! He was able to accommodate our two dogs very last minute (since our return flights were cancelled and we needed a new sitter) and then again he was very flexible to continue looking after our dogs when our flights were rescheduled multiple days later by the airlines. We appreciated the great communication and our boys were tired when we picked them up which is not an easy feat for our Australian Cattle Dog puppy! he definitely gave them lots of exercise and attention. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping his contact handy!

We boarded our dog Lucas with Paola for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Paola kept us updated throughout the stay by sending us regular pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Lucas looked like he was having a blast—playing with the other dogs and enjoying his time. It’s clear that Paola truly cares for the dogs she watches. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter!

Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.

Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.

Roxy was clearly in great hands with Neeru and her loving family. Her child loved Roxy, they went out for lots of walks and were able to run in the large fenced yard, and it was clear that she was getting plenty of attention and affection. She and Neeru’s pup Caro got along great and were playful together. We got frequent updates about her activities. Would absolutely book again!

Phil was great! Boggs looked so happy there all week and it was hard to get him to leave because he just wanted to hang out longer. Getting pictures regularly helped us enjoy our time away. We look forward to Boggs going back in a few months!

This was our first time using Rover, we choose Michael because of his great reviews and how close he was to us. We needed our 1 year old shepard boarded for a few nights and so glad we chose Michael. He was super responsive and very accommodating. Will definitely use him again and Rover

We are so grateful for Michael! This was the second time he watched our three dogs in his home for the week, and they had an absolute blast. They were so excited to be back for another stay, and we were completely stress-free knowing they were being loved and cared for like family. Great communication, plenty of photo updates, and so much playtime for our pups. We feel so lucky to have found the perfect home away from home for our fur babies. Highly recommend!

Erin was great with Brady. She sent us pictures and updates along the way. I feel very comfortable leaving our Brady with her. She hadn’t seen him in a while so she stopped by our house before the stay to get reacquainted with Brady. That was very helpful and thoughtful.
