3. Tiffani S.

“Thank you Tiffani for taking such good care of our Copper!! In the past we have used boarding Kennels and we could tell he was not happy. We took a chance on Rover and we saw all your great reviews, they didn’t do you justice!! You were amazing with all your communication and videos and photos we knew in only 2 days into our trip Copper was in amazing hands and being loved!! I honestly don’t think he wanted to leave your house!! lol I think he made some new BFFs and I can’t wait to have Copper stay with you again. I would highly recommend Tiffani if you are thinking about boarding or daycare she and her family are so loving and welcoming!! Thank you again ❤️”


4. Dyan C.

“Dyan did a fantastic job taking care of my senior deaf terrier mutt. Her dog got along with him so well and he was clearly happy and comfortable there. Dyan communicated with us the whole time we were gone and sent pictures based on our preferences to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She is very responsive to messages and so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend booking with her - I am already rebooking with her”

8. Zoe D.
“Zoe was caring and very responsible in caring for my cat. She provided regular updates (with videos and photos) and remained flexible in accommodating my needs as the 8 days I was gone was the longest I had left my cat at home. Will definitely rebook in the future and recommend her to friends!”


9. Amanda S.

“Amanda was great! Our meet & greet was awesome, our dog Chase felt right at home during his stay. She made sure to always send pictures, videos and constantly keep us updated on Chase. I would definitely book with her again.”


10. Anita A.

“Anita was responsive, courteous and very pleasant. It was my first time boarding our 6 month old puppy (Moose) so naturally I was a bit nervous beforehand. Anita did a lot to reassure me during Moose's stay and I was able to communicate with her regularly. Moose came back happy and tired after spending time with Anita and her family. I would definitely recommend Anita to anyone looking for a welcoming environment for their dog!”


11. Angela & Tommy P.

“I'm so happy I found Angela (khanh) and Tommy before traveling halfway around the globe. After our meet and greet I knew I could relax on vacation knowing my pup was in good hands. Angela has that motherly instinct for all dogs big and small, and Tommy is an experienced dog groomer. I got picture and video updates everyday, I felt like my dog was at summer camp and she would never want to come home! I know she got lots of love and exercise and she will be coming back again.”




12. Ricky R.

“Husky approved! Our 4 year old, Skye, was happy and content having had plenty of exercise time while we were away. We recommend Ricky and will be calling again ourselves. Great yard space, easy communication.”


13. Ji Ah L.

“Ji Ah and her husband were both great! I received pictures and updates every day while I was away. Duke already misses them and their lovely dogs. Thank you Ji Ah, you are amazing!”


14. Janelle B.

“My buddy seemed very happy during his visit He also adjusted very easily when he got home very relaxed. A great experience for him I feel He will go there next time when needed.”




15. Kathryn & Jeremy M.
“I've seen Kathryn and her husband Jeremy take excellent care of pets, theirs and others, for well over 10 years. Their dog Paisley was one of my favorite animals in the world, and they were great and attentive pet parents for her. They love all animals, especially dogs, but also the four cats I've had over the years, and many family and friend dogs, and the various classroom pets that have ended up in their care.”




16. Maggie L.

“Maggie was great! Sent us pictures and videos and up to date all along. Bear also seemed to really like her! Definitely will be using her again :)”


17. Katie L.

“Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.”


18. Sherry B.

“Sherry was so thoughtful and caring for my pup while I was out of town. I know my dog felt cared for and safe. I know she will look forward to her next visit with other Sherry!”


19. Margaret O.
“I’ve known Margaret M. for over 40 years, and I can say without a doubt that she is one of the most kind-hearted people I know. Her love for animals is genuine and runs deep—she has a natural way of making them feel safe and cared for. Margaret’s gentle spirit, reliability, and compassion make her someone you can fully trust to provide safe, loving care to any furry friend. Any animal would be lucky to have her looking after them!”


20. Rosa S.

“Rosa is the best dog sitter I could ask for! She is really engaged and she sends you pictures and updates to keep you at ease. Her pricing is more than fair and she responds very fast! I’ll definitely book her again for my fur baby!”
