“Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!”
“Emily responded quickly, sent pics of my boys playing in the yard. She said they didn't eat much the first day but that's to be expected because they get anxious being left behind. But having boarded my dog tigger before he's usually anxious for days after being picked up and didn't have that this time, so that tells me a lot. ”
