“Roberto was the best! Our golden loved staying with him and his pups. We also got beautiful pictures of her living it up! Definitely will be calling again.”


“Donte boarded my senior German Shepherd for 5 days including Christmas Day. She was well cared for, receiving her medications twice a day to manage her hip arthritis and pain from IVDD. She came home rested and without any signs of over exertion, which can be difficult to manage while other dogs are boarded. My only concern was that I had become used to Rover hires providing a daily update; I had not explicitly asked for this and Donte sent one unprompted update (on Christmas), but he was very quick to respond when I reached out to check in on her. He also offered an important observation at pick up about the length of my dogs back toenails, indicating careful attention to the dog’s wellbeing.”



“This was Zoey's first stay with Madeline and it was great. Madeline was incredibly communicative both leading up to and during Zoey's stay. She was also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off time and sent us multiple pictures each day! We will definitely reach out to Madeline for future trips.”


“Tony was nice. He has a beautiful home with a clean and private yard for dogs to roam and play. Tony sent lots of pics and updates, which I like.”


“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”

She sent regular updates and made sure she had plenty of exercise. I felt really comfortable leaving penny with her and would highly recommend her to others!”
