1. Deena S.
“Deena is the best! She accepts my last minute requests when im in a pinch, & lives close to my job so it’s super convenient to drop my pup off so hes not all alone during my long shifts!”
2. Jonathan B.
“Jonathan was wonderful with Boss! He sent lots of photos over the week and his dog Ivy is such a sweetheart and great with other dogs. I’m already scheduled for another board with him! Highly recommend.”
3. Lauryn & Hunter S.
“Lauryn and Hunter were amazing sitters for my little dachshund! They updated me at least once a day with great photos which often had personalized captions - it was so sweet! My dog has some behavior issues which Lauryn and Hunter carefully attended to as well. I could tell that they treated my dog as if it were their own and it made me feel very comfortable leaving him with them. I’ll definitely be dropping off Wormy at their home the next time I’m out of town!”
4. Samantha B.
“Sam is the absolute best!! Seriously do not hesitate to book with her, your pup will be loved to the absolute max. Her and her boyfriend are so sweet and are VERY experienced with dogs. They knew exactly how to love my pup, who can be quite anxious when he’s not with me. They sent frequent updates and pictures and responded to me right away. They’re seriously great — I cannot recommend enough. This was my first time using Rover and my first time boarding my pup with a non-family member and it could not have been any better. Thank you Sam and Roberto!”
5. Tony B.
“Tony was incredible! Truly a doggy paradise. Beautiful fenced in yard, doggy door, lots of fun and play for my dog while we were away for the weekend. We had so much great communication from Tony including pictures and videos. Definitely would hire many many more times!”
6. Rhyeshona S.
“We had a wonderful experience with Rhyeshona! Last minute booking, since I was going on a trip, but I felt very comfortable leaving my little one there with the family and all the other little dogs. Got daily updates with pictures and Lily made a lot of friends with the other dogs there. Would definitely book with Rhyeshona again!”
7. Brigitte & Alicia & Andrew A.
“They were amazing with our updates and pictures. Our boys were SO tired after their weekend away, it was amazing and such a relief when you’re away”
8. Madeline S.
“Madeline and her husband Roman are amazing and sweet people. They took the best care of my dog Sandy, she came home relaxed and happy. I also received frequent pictures of Sandy enjoying her stay. Thank you so much Madeline!”
9. Claudia Z.
“I was so pleased with the care we received from Claudia. From the moment we started messaging it was apparent she has vast knowledge and care about about caring for dogs and their specific needs. Meeting up I knew I felt comfortable with her. She kept me appraised daily of Penny’s goings-ons with tons of pictures and updates. I think the most impactful piece was upon dropping off my dog (who by nature takes time and space to feel at ease) IMMEDIATELY felt comfortable in Claudia’s space. I felt so secure having Penny with Claudia and I’m typically very nervous and overprotective of my dog. Highly recommend!”
10. Georgilin T.
“Georgilin was AMAZING! She was so communicative and very patient with my 4 month old puppy. I felt confident leaving my pup in her care and will certainly use her services again!”
11. Virginia "Ginger" H.
“Ginger was an amazing sitter! Extremely helpful with last minute availability and took extra steps to make sure both me and Bleu felt at ease. Bleu came home happy, healthy and very tired (in the best way)! Definitely recommend for an easy care experience!”
12. Nicole M.
“Nicole was a great surrogate mom for chaos while we went away for the weekend. She sent pictures and updates regularly, and tried lots of solutions to get him to eat when he wasn't in the mood. We'd definitely leave our old dog with her again!”
13. Andrica S.
“Andria was amazing with my dog. She watched him while I was away visiting family. I got videos, pic, and updates daily. He obviously had an amazing time. He was seemed so comfortable and relaxed. It made being away sooooooo much easier and non stressful. He was well cared for and was able to get key socializing in with other pups that were there. I am so happy I have found a great place where he can stay and know he is getting all the care and enrichment he needs for his energy levels. Thank you for a great stay. Laura S.”
14. Kiara B.
“Kiara was fantastic! She shared lots of pictures and videos of our Lola throughout each day and handled Lola’s shyness with other dogs perfectly!”
15. Kelly F.
“Kelly is the best! I actually feel like Isaac has fun every time he stays with Kelly, he always looks like such a happy boy in the pictures. It’s always good to know that someone is taking care of your pup the way you would at home and Kelly is that someone!”
16. darby p.
“Darby was such an angel. Korra loved him so much and he was so patient with her being her first time having to board. He was so responsive and kept us updated throughout the whole stay. Will definitely be booking again.”
17. Sara S.
“Sara was wonderful with our older lab/hound mix! She was communicative, thorough and he really seemed to enjoy his time with her. We would definitely use Sara again and highly recommend!”
