“Laura was Awesome!!! She took great care of my boy T she walked him, played and snuggled with him also sent daily updates and pictures i felt very comfortable leaving him with Laura and Joe. Thank you sooo much.”
“This visit was my fur baby’s first boarding with Amanda. I was so nervous leaving him as he is an elder dog, however, Amanda put my mind at ease through consistent communications and lots of photos throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the love that she gave my boy! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again”
“Kshama was very nice my dog seemed very happy upon return. While we were out of town she sent many great photos of Sam and was in clear communication daily. This booking was actually the perfect fit for our senior dog Sam as well as her sweet dog, Zeus. Our dog Sam had previously been attacked by a larger dog on leash before and became more aggressive and on edge. So I was a little nervous to have them meet but her dog was so gentle, gave space and really matched my dogs (calmer) energy level. Sam enjoyed the socialization even in the fenced in backyard with the dogs next door I saw from the photos lol. We will definitely book again in the future :-)!”
“Rachael and Mike were amazing with our precious Mirna. They were extremely accommodating to do a meet & greet in short notice and accepted Mirna into their home with open arms! Our pup had SO much fun with them & slept for a full 24 hours after pickup 😅 we would highly recommend them! They didn’t even kick Mirna out when she ruined their Sunday lasagna dinner by knocking it to the ground LOL.”
“Michael was incredibly understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly. We had to travel on short notice for a funeral, and he made sure to send his condolences and let me know he was available to help in any way he could. Throughout the time we were away, he was very responsive and kept us updated regularly. We received photos of Daisy at least every six hours, which really helped ease our minds. It was clear she was happy and having a good time, especially since she was included in playtime with his dogs. We truly appreciated the care and attention Michael gave her, and we will definitely reach out to him again for future trips when we can’t bring our fur baby along.”
“Deborah and Garry were so kind and patient with our foster dog, Ophelia, while we were out of town. They provided regular updates on how she was doing and pictures. We're so lucky to have found them. Without them, we might have had to cancel our family vacation. We would definitely use them again and recommend them! Thank you both for everything!”
“This was my boy Bodhi’s first stay with Steven and I am very happy I chose him to sit. Excellent communication with daily pics/videos, and really friendly and personable. Making him my go-to for future sitting!”
“Monica is so warm and friendly, she treated our dog as if she were her own! It was our first time using Rover since we’ve moved to the states and Monica put us at ease immediately, from the first contact! By the time we dropped Fig off, we felt like we were leaving her with someone we knew and the updates and photos each day was an extra comfort. Monica has a large secure garden and a gorgeous house, we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Kevin was amazing! Answered any questions we had very quickly, provided pictures of our pup everyday without even asking. When it came to pick up, we’ve never seen our pup be so happy and calm. Will definitely be using Kevin again!”
“Alison and Parmer are awesome. From the first meet and great to the time spent with them, my dog felt so at home with them. I was on a month long vacation and I felt so comforted with my dog in their care. I received pictures and videos .”
“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”
“Whitley took such great care of my senior dog. Shout outs for the last minute accomodation. I really appreciated the videos, reports and that her dog was such a good host too.”
“Latara does it again!! My babies ALWAYS come back home happy, my baby pup almost didn’t want to come back home with me hahaha. I appreciate her so much as it is hard leaving your fur babies with strangers and knowing they will treat them well. I know the girls can’t wait to see her again, well perhaps not my older baby as she never likes to leave home haha. She is so great with them and their individual needs! Next booking soon 😊”
“Leo had a fantastic time! We very much appreciated the timely, consistent communication and photos/videos throughout the process. We’re so grateful for all the extra attention and care Leo had and he will definitely be returning!”
