“This was my first time leaving Remie with anyone, and Christina was a great choice for the occasion. She was highly attentive to Remie's needs, provided regular updates and photos, and made me feel genuinely at ease. I hope she will have us again.”
“Thank you so much Donnie P. For taking such great care of Skyler and Charlie! We picked our dogs up and they seemed so comfortable and happy after their overnight stay. Donny is is truly a professional who loves what he does! I would recommend him without hesitation, and would confidently use his services again!”
“This was our first time boarding our new puppy (13 weeks old) and we were nervous but Mercis was so wonderful and met with us and our pup ahead of time so we felt very comfortable before we left our littlest family member for the long weekend. During the stay we can tell our pup had the BEST time, thanks to the great daily pics and communication from Mercis. We were almost worried she wouldn’t want to come home, she loved Mercis’ place so much. 😅 Puppies this young are A LOT of work and Mercis loved and cared for our little girl like she was her own all weekend and even worked on some of her training while we were away. We will definitely be contacting Mercis in the future when we need someone to board Bloo! 🥰”
“Karen was great with our dog, Bolton! She made him feel at home with her dogs and other dog in her care. We appreciate her kindness in helping Bolton to acclimate, as he can sometimes be nervous when going to new places. We're excited for Bolton to visit Karen again soon!”
“Jessica was wonderful with my dog, Luna. She kept us updated the whole time and was responsive to Luna’s unique needs. We will definitely use Jessica again in the future, we highly recommend her!”
“Salish, did an amazing job keeping me updated during the 2 weeks JJ stayed with her. I always felt he was being well cared for while I was gone! I highly recommend her and her family!”
“This was the second time Colby has stayed with Faith and I always know that he is well taken care of. Colby is super scared of staying with anyone but the people he knows, but Faith and her husband take good care of him and make him feel really loved. Can’t ask for more than that!!!”
“Cherie was a wonderful host for our dog, Hudson! She kept me updated with notes and pictures throughout the week we were away on vacation. Her family was so kind and responsive and I had no doubts that Hudson was receiving the best care! I would absolutely recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their pet.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we struck gold with Vanessa. She was communicative and kept us updated on our pups while we were away. Our dogs can be a handful as one is VERY high energy, but she clearly knew what she was doing and they came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend her to watch your pups!”
“Felicia was absolutely incredible with Luna. She took her on so many great walks. Sent pics of Luna snuggled up on her couch. Luna came back so happy but wiped after the couple of busy and active days with Felicia. Luna is already looking forward to her next stay! Would highly recommend Felicia - she was so awesome, highly communicative and took amazing care of Luna🐾”
“We had the best experience with Julia and her family. She was excellent at communicating and providing detailed updates. Hank was truly part of her family while I was out of town and he had a blast. I am truly relieved to have someone reliable, safe and caring that I can leave Hank with in the future!”
“Over the years, I've repeatedly turned to Daisy for help with Offer, my cherished dog. Each time, Daisy's care has been consistently exceptional. Her genuine love for animals and dedication to their well-being is truly remarkable. I highly recommend her as a trusted and compassionate pet caregiver.”
“Damaris was amazing. She cared for our baby like we do, and I was at ease knowing she was able to give attention, send pictures and care for my puppy while we were away. I will definitely be using her again. She was amazing!”
“Mikayla and Alen were fantastic! They took such great care of our dog Cooper and kept us in the loop for the entirety of our trip. I would highly recommend them”
“We are so pleased with Stacey's in-home care of our dog. She treated him like her own, kept us up to date with his activity, eating and sleeping, and she shared many photos. Stacey is easy to work with and reliable. Her fenced in yard is a bonus. Wouldn't hesitate to schedule again with Stacey!”
“Great Service overall , Kleyra was definitely the best option to care for our pet while we were away , always keeping us updated with picture and videos which is a great relief and provides a sense of safety for the pet owner , will absolutely use her service again and recommend to other pet owners.”
“Go no further ! I’ve found THE caretaker for my Madeline. When Lucille got down on the floor to greet and introduce herself to Madeline, I knew she was the GOLD standard in “fur baby” caregiving. She went above and beyond the 3 page list of instructions I gave her. 🙄 I had complete confidence, trust and peace of mind knowing Madeline was about to be spoiled, she was included in her daily routines which included car rides and shopping all while observing for any stress. I actually will, without hesitation, be calling Lucille for future overnights. Her love of dogs is a true gift! GLK”
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
“Kristina is very nice and was very accommodating about my dog's back problems, she took very good care of my pup. She'll definitely will be my first choice for sitting from now on.”

Donnie provided excellent care of my dog Penny when I had to travel for a 2 week trip. He watched her interactions with other dogs carefully to make sure all dogs were safe and had friendly body language. He checked in occasionally with photos and videos which was nice. My dog is anxious around new people at first and she warmed up and felt comfortable and playful with Donnie and team once she settled in. I appreciated his knowledge of pack dynamics and dog training. Highly recommend!
Nicole and her family provided exceptional care for our senior Golden, Mina! They were so thoughtful—even setting up rug "runways" on their floors to help Mina's mobility. Between the outdoor playtime, the constant snuggles from Nicole’s daughters, and the regular photo updates, we knew Mina was in the best hands. Even their dog Jack became a fast friend. If you want peace of mind and a family that treats your dog like their own, look no further!
Camila and Michael took excellent care of Kalei - she was happy and content when I picked her up. She has a slightly complicated feeding routine that they administered, so I appreciate the effort put in to keep her healthy. They sent photos and videos of her playing, snuggling, and sniffing on her walks, so I got a good overview of her time away. She even made friends with their cat, which was unexpected. I felt comfortable with the care they provided for her and would recommend!
