1. Lisa C.
“I always feel at ease leaving our dog with Lisa. During this past stay, the first few days Fritz wasn't eating the usual amount. Being observant, Lisa noticed that. She contacted me to let me know of the situation. She also boiled some chicken for him in her attempt to make him eat. I know he is well taken care of by Lisa and John.”
2. Bethany G.
“This was our first time leaving our Dog Brady with some one else and for over a week. Bethany made the entire process easy. She was very friendly, we did an initial meet n greet months before our trip. She sent pictures everyday of Brady, lounging walking or chilling with her son. It felt great to know that he was being loved while we were away.”
3. Simone M.
“Simone is a wonderful sitter. She loves animals and treated our dog as part of her family. I will always use her as a sitter whoever possible. Connie”
4. Misael C.
“Misael was great with Heer! We received multiple pictures & videos while we were on vacation and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave our pup with Misael again.”
5. Nick H.
“Very happy with the service Nick provided! Pugsly stayed for 4 nights and we got pictures and updates everyday. We will definitely use Nick again for dog boarding.”
6. Eleanor C.
“Eleanor is the best!! I am very selective about leaving my dog with a sitter or boarder, but as soon as we met Eleanor I knew Reagan would be happy and cared for. I really like how she only watches 1 dog at a time. I was kept up to date with pictures and videos for her entire stay. Reagan was relaxed and happy, thank you so much!”
7. Haley D.
“Haley took excellent care of my dog Basil while I was away. She provided frequent updates and pictures and always responded to my inquiries. Basil adjusted very well to Haley and when I picked him up and brought him home he was just as happy as when I dropped him off to her. She is a true dog lover and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, enthusiastic pet sitter. Thanks Haley!”
8. Sheryl N.
“Sheryl sent us pictures of Geoffrey playing with other dogs at her house every day of the stay. I can tell he had a good time because he’s tired out!”
9. Joseph N.
“Joe provided phenomenal care of our dogs. He was very responsive and made sure to keep us updated. His level of care and knowledge about dogs is impressive. Will definitely be using him again and recommending to others as well”
10. Alysha V.
“Alysha was great and very accommodating. Would highly recommend her and plan on using her again in the future. Great communication and sent me day by day pics and updates.”
11. Bahareh J.
“Cody received 5-star service. Bahareh and her husband are a lovely couple who treated Cody like their own. Cody doesn’t usually eat when we first leave him but they made sure Cody had special food which he ate right up. Bahareh sent many pictures and videos every day. It was very reassuring to see how comfortable Cody was, what a good time he was having with them and at the dog park, and how well he was getting along with their dog. I would highly recommend Bahareh and plan to leave Cody with her again. I think he’ll be looking forward to it!”
12. Deanna C.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous to leave my dog with anyone, much less someone I had never met. I arranged a meet and greet with Deanna and from the moment I walked in, I knew it would be a good fit. Gidget seemed to feel right at home, rolling over for a belly rub immediately. Deanna and David were flexible with drop off and pickup time and sent many updates throughout her stay. Gidget seemed happy and herself when I came to pick her up. I would definitely book with Deanna again! Thank you!!”
13. Pam D.
“Dominic was well cared for and really enjoyed his time there especially the play time with Orca! He was tuckered out and happy. Thanks to Pam for the peace of mind he is in good hands while we got away for the day!”
14. Cody & Sara R.
“Riley had a great time at Cody and Sara's for her first sleepover! They sent us photos and updates to let us know how she was doing. It was a great experience and we will definitely book with them again!”
15. Nicole L.
“Our four-year-old golden doodle and one year-old golden retriever. Had a wonderful time staying with Nicole and family. They took as good of care of them as we would have. Will definitely use Nicole again and highly recommend her.”
16. Eric & Tinaromp C.
“Tina and Eric took such great care of our fur baby Buddy. Tina sent lots of pictures and videos so we could see how he was doing. They have a large fenced in yard which was a real treat for our pup. He is never off leash so he loved it!!! He played well with their other 2 dogs which were similar in size to Buddy. They provided lots of toys and entertainment. He is scheduled to go back next weekend!”
17. Cassandra L.
“Home Away From Home: Cassandra is communicative, send photos and responds quickly. I texted for pick-up and she had the dogs ready to go when I arrived. They were happy and clearly enjoyed their dog camp adventure. You can't go wrong with Cassandra.”
18. Kenny & Kaylan O.
“Had my pup stay here a second time and my dog felt even more comfortable this time around! I’ll be asking them to help again when I need them.”
19. Rose S.
“Rose assisted me in taking care of my elder cat, Gracie. Gracie is very temperamental and openly hostile to unfamiliar faces, but Rose was careful and cautious with her, making sure not to approach too close while feeding her. Not only that, she was good at cleaning, clearing out the litter box. I would absolutely recommend her to other cat owners for cat sitting.”
20. Ty S.
“This is our second time boarding our dog with Ty. It is such a relief and joy to see him go happily with a sitter! I only hope Ty will be available next time we need to board Teddy. She and her family are really the best! Thank you!”
