“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”
3. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”

“Our two golden doodles loved their long weekend stay with Matt and Cooper (Matt’s adorable and gentle dog). Matt sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout their stay. We’ve already booked our next stay with Matt and Cooper and I’m just so glad to have a reliable and caring home for my dogs.”
8. Julie W.
“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”

12. Jeffrey H.
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back!
