“I highly recommend boarding your dog with Nikki. Nikki boarded our GSD Sydney. The experience I had with Nikki was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I contacted her to inquire about the services, she was friendly and professional. The facilities at Nikki's Dog Boarding are top-notch. The boarding area is clean and spacious, providing a comfortable and safe environment for Sydney. It was evident that she prioritize the well-being of the animals in her care. The outdoor play area is also well-maintained, allowing the dogs to get plenty of exercise and socialize with other dogs.”
“Bean, our 13 year old pug, had a great stay with Gienna! We got lots of updates/photos and all communication was excellent. We appreciated how much extra patience and love she gave our little old pug.”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“Olympia had a great time as always! We really appreciate their attention to her allergies - when we told the she needed filtered water they said no problem and offered to take the shared water up, which was really considerate.”
“Ari was very caring and communicative while caring for our pup for the first time. She was attune to Hazel’s needs and went above and beyond playing and caring for her. We will definitely be booking with Ari again!”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“This is the second time we've left our dog with Tina. She always takes great care of Toby, sends us plenty of updates and you can always tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I appreciate her being available last minute as I needed boarding for Toby with only a week's notice but she was ready and willing to take him in for a couple days. Tina is great and your animal will be in good hands with her!”
“Lindsay was amazing. Our dog had a great time with Lindsay, her family and her dog Tilly, who happened to match our dog's size and energy level perfectly. Lindsay sent us multiple photos during our dog's stay. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“First time, and hopefully not the last, working with Andy. Kind and flexible with drop off and pick up. Very helpful in caring for our dogs, daily pics and updates. Highly recommend, thank you Andy!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Christian watch my dog, Sheba, while I was out of town, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Christian took exceptional care of Sheba, ensuring she was happy and well-looked after throughout my trip. Sheba was clearly content and comfortable under his care, which gave me great peace of mind. One of the best parts of Christian's service was the regular updates, pictures, and videos he sent. It was so reassuring to see Sheba having a great time and being well cared for. Christian's dedication and love for animals truly shine through in the way he looked after Sheba. I would absolutely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Whether you're going on a trip, vacation, or just out of town for the weekend, Christian is the person to call for top-notch pet care.”
“Patricia was fabulous! She took incredible care of our pup like she was one of her own! When watching her during the heatwave Patricia made sure there was lots of fun things for her to do to cool off. She got to go swimming in the pool and played around in the splash pad. Patricia was great at keeping us updated and sent lots of photos and videos! Our pup can’t wait to go back!”
“Tatianna was great with Biggie. He was a little nervous at first which made me stressed but within an hour Tatianna sent pics of Biggie having a great time. When I picked Biggie up he was having a great time. Thank you Tatianna.”
“Cheryl-Anne was so nice and accommodating throughout this stay. She was very communicative and it was clear my dog loved her and her dogs, and visa versa. I will definitely be booking with her the next time I need to hire a sitter!”
“Lori was so nice and we could tell our dog thought so too! She was communicative and sent us lots of pictures which really put us at ease. We will book with Lori again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Katherine helped me through it! She sent updates and photos at the right cadence while I was away. We both agreed that a space with a yard would be a better fit for my husky mix if I should use Rover again, as he needs a lot of more intense activity. One small note is that my dog was barking at her cat during the stay, and there didn't really seem to be a way to keep them separated. He does well with my cat, but I guess not necessarily new cats! So just something to keep in mind that if your dog really does need to be separated from a cat, it's not the right space.”
“Krista was excellent! I felt very comfortable that she was going to take great care of my puppy. Her house and yard are set up in the best interest of the dogs. I was thankful that she was willing to take care of my 6 month old puppy. I would definitely have my puppy stay with her again!”
“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”
