Our dog LOVES Krystina! She does an amazing job with him and I really can't think of anything she could do better. We feel so lucky to have her to take our dog to and that he feels so happy with her. My husband texted me after he picked him up "well I thought he would be happy to see me but he didn't want to leave..." 😂 100% will rebook

We left our dog in Riitta's care for a week. This was our dog's first time at Riitta's and she had a blast. We got daily pictures of play time and nap time etc. Riitta's communication with us during the boarding time was great and it was clear how deeply she cared for our dog and her well-being. Thank you Riitta! We'll be back!

Victor took care of my 4-month-old Labrador puppy, Ginger, for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Ginger is still very young—she isn’t fully potty trained or fully trained in general—so caring for her is truly a full-time job. Victor showed incredible patience, kindness, and dedication throughout. Ginger even ripped some of his dog’s toys, and he never once complained. He handled every challenge with understanding and care, and Ginger was clearly happy and well looked after. I’m extremely thankful to Victor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.

Craig was a fantastic dog sitter for our lively 8 yr old Corgi. Communication was quick, he sent us plenty of photos and overall a 10/10 experience. Will definitely use Craig again.

Austin was a fantastic person, he did take care of our dog for a week when we were traveling outside of country. He sent regular updates and I felt at ease during the whole time.

Theresa and Leonard made Bear feel right at home. They provided such care and attention as if he were their own dog. We appreciated their flexibility and communication through Bear’s stay. We’ll definitely be looking to rebook again next time.

Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.

Definitely recommend Teri and her home! Great communication, sent multiple pictures and updates per day. I truly felt my old pups, who I worry about often, were in GOOD loving hands. They ? were clean and well kept along with beds/blankets and looking so good after a long stay. Also fenced large yard was very nice! Will definitely use for future needs!

We had to be out of town for many days, and we wanted to make sure that we have the right person for our dog, We are so glad that we found Michelle. The meet and great went verywell. The stay was easy and she communicated with me everyday with photos and text to make sure that I didn't have to worry about my dog. I felt like she treated her as if she was her family dog. I highly recommend Michelle if you need someone for you dog sitting in the future. She even bathed her before return home. We much much appreciated everything.

Natalie is wonderful! As soon as we got there she made me and my girl comfortable. My dog is very perceptive with people and animals. If she isn’t comfortable she won’t go near them. Immediately my dog was wagging her tail and happy to be there. Likewise, when we picked her up she was happy. While greeting us she kept going back to Natalie as well. I will definitely want my girl to stay with Natalie again. What a relief to find a loving compassionate caring home for my girl when we need one

So thankful to have found Rebecca on Rover. She takes care of my Bernese Mountain Dog like he is her own — plenty of play time, walks, and pets. It’s clear Enzo adores her by the way he runs up to the door when we arrive! Enzo comes home tired and happy every time. I especially love Rebecca’s communication. It’s clear and frequent, with photo and video updates throughout each stay. Highly recommend booking with her.

This wonderful family genuinely loves dogs, and it showed—our dog looked so happy the entire stay. They prepared special, delicious meals and took such amazing care of him. I was so grateful for the constant updates with photos and videos. ​We hadn't gone on a family vacation in 8 years because we couldn't find a trustworthy place, but we’ve finally found our go-to spot. They are responsible, walk my dog often, and treat him like family. A special shoutout to the youngest child for making that beautiful video at the end. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

This is my fifth time returning to Karthiga, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She is FANTASTIC, super responsive, always sharing pictures of your pups, and caring for them with so much love and responsibility. One of my dogs unfortunately had an upset stomach during his stay, and she notified me right away, providing frequent updates because she knew I was worried. She kept a close eye on him and let me know how he was doing every step of the way. Thank you, Karthiga, for all your care. We are always so grateful for you!

Margaret and Michael were friendly and happy to show us around and answer questions during our meet-and-greet. Gus made himself right at home which convinced us he would be comfortable while we were gone. We appreciated the daily photos of Gus playing with other pups or relaxing in the house and yard. We also appreciated Margaret's timely communications and her flexibility. We were able to arrange a meet-and-greet on short notice. Margaret also accommodated an earlier drop-off than originally scheduled. Thank you Margaret and Michael! We would be happy to book a future stay.

Absolutely amazing sitters! They took care of my energetic herding mix for four days and returned her happy, calm, and well-loved. They were professional, communicated excellently, and accommodated last-minute scheduling changes with tremendous grace. Looking forward to booking with them again in future!
