1. Neal T.

“Great communication! First time I have left my 2 dogs with someone and it was a great experience. He sent us pictures with updates of how they were doing. I realize their are a lot of options but I wanted someone who I felt like would have fun with them to make them feel more like home. They stayed in his in home and for bathroom breaks he had a large fenced in area for them to run around in. We will definitely use Neal again! He made it easy and I was impressed to see them so happy when I went to pick them up!”


2. Analee F.

“Wow! Easily the best boarding situation we've experienced. Great communications, excellent set up of different fenced in areas, friendly pack of dogs to play with and even a day trip to a local fenced-in private acreage... Will definitely be re-booking in the future even though it's a bit out of our way.”


3. Annie H.

“Annie was amazing! I have a reactive dog and she was more than willing to accommodate her, she knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


4. Brittany R.

“Absolutely amazing! I loved the pictures and updates. Rocky was well taken care of, and the family is so sweet. They even sent home a Christmas present for him. Absolutely great, we will definitely book with them again!”




5. Olga H.

“Olga was beyond amazing with my doberman, Jax! This is his second time here. She is so kind and her whole family took care of Jax like he was their own. She kept me updated on his medications, how well he was eating, and sent plenty of pictures of him having fun. The peace of mind I have leaving my dog here with her, knowing that he will be well looked after and loved, means the world to me. She is very experienced and even took the time to help educate me on how to seamlessly introduce two dogs for the first time, since she knew I would be introducing Jax to a new dog after this trip. I would recommend Olga to anybody looking to board their dog”


6. Natalie M.

“She is wonderful! I got multiple pictures and videos a day. The babies had so much fun and I knew they were in good hands. I will be using Natalie again whenever we go out of town.”


7. Amy & John L.

“I’m hesitant to tell y’all how wonderful they are for fear they may get booked up! 😂 Seriously though, our pup was with them for 10 days and we never had to worry one bit. It was more like summer doggy camp than boarding! He loves it so much with Amy & John!”


8. Ronald B.

“Ronald was great! He kept us updated on how Max was doing, & he was allowed to socialize with other dogs & a cat. We’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”

10. Valerie G.

“This was my first time ever leaving my dog while I went on vacation and I was super nervous about it but Valerie did such an amazing job and made sure to keep me posted with pictures and videos the whole time. I will definitely be taking her back. Such a good positive experience!”


11. Tina W.

“Tina and her Dad were wonderful with our two pups. Very caring and allowed our two fur babies to snuggle up with them. Sent lots of pictures and videos showing our dogs were enjoying there time there. Great huge fenced back yard for our dogs and theirs to run and roam. Highly recommned.”


12. Kaitlyn B.

“This was Odin's first stay away from home having a stranger caring for him and the videos sent daily gave me a piece of mind seeing that he was getting along just fine. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to watch your pup as an alternative to a traditional kennel.”

15. Kendra G.

“Kendra was fantastic with my 2 fur babies Atlas and Charlie. She took excellent care of them and I enjoyed my vacation while they were on “pet vacation” with her. Highly recommend and will def reach out for Kendra’s service again. 5stars!!! Thank you so much!”


16. Katie B.

“Katie did an amazing job. We felt comfortable leaving our baby with her as she had her own sweet Bulldog and understood their needs. She sent us updates and pictures which helped us relax knowing that he Charlie was doing well. Katie had him from Wednesday through Sunday and did an amazing job. We would definitely use Katie again as needed and refer others as well.”


17. Charlotte & Justin K.

“I was very pleased with Charlotte and Justin‘s care of my dog. My dog requires medications and they were very attentive to her care. They also sent pictures and let me know how she was doing throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend!”


18. Chelsea & Gareth W.

“Chelsea and Gareth were great with my 6 1/2 month old Golden Retriever, Merlin. He had a blast and I didn't think he would want to leave! Their dogs were great with Merlin as well, he had a ton of fun wrestling with Stella. They were extremely accommodating, as I had a very last minute request. They were also very flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely use them again the next time we go out of town!”


19. Danielle P.

“Our Trooper is a high needs dog and Danielle did an outstanding job with him. It is easy to see she loves animals of all shapes and sizes. Every picture sent our boy was smiling! We are over the moon with the fantastic care she provided and are thankful to have found a sitter that is incredibly kind and caring! We HIGHLY recommend her and appreciate all she did - walks, introducing our big guy to cats and play time with her terrier. It was lovely for us and Trooper!”


20. Ginia E.

“This was our first time using Rover. And Ginia and her family were great. Daisy loved her stay with them. She had so much fun. Ginia gave me updates daily which assured us we made a good decision choosing them to care for Daisy. We will definitely be using Ginia again. Feel confident in booking with Ginia.”
