I am so glad I found Vania. I was concerned leaving my dog with a new sitter but everything was absolutely fine. Vania was very welcoming and I know my dog was in great hands.

Melody and Matthew provided EXCELLENT care for our fur babies during our vacation! Our Basset Hound needed emergency treatment while we were away (no fault of Melody or Matthew) and Melody went above and beyond to obtain treatment, update us regularly, make sure our fur baby received immediate care and provided TLC to our boy afterward. He is home safe and sound and is good as new now. She sent photos and updates regularly for both of our pups and share cute, funny stories of both of their antics. I can't give enough stars for the care she gave our pups! This was our first time using Rover and we selected Melody because of her excellent reviews. I will tell you to BELEIVE WHAT YOU READ! Her many years of experience with pets shines brightly. We will definitely use her again!

Megan was amazing I recently boarded my rescue Prince for the first time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Megan took such amazing care of Prince during his two-night stay. She went above and beyond—sending me some of the best photos and videos I’ve ever had of him, including clips of him playing and socializing with larger dogs (which was a first for him!). It meant so much to see him having that kind of fun and confidence. Megan also kept me updated with daily “doggy report cards” and personalized notes, which were such a thoughtful touch. When I picked him up, it was clear he had an incredible time—he was almost sad to leave! He even made a new best friend with her dog, Kava. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Megan gave, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Truly a 5-star experience from start to finish!

Megan was TERRIFIC! She kept our two dogs for 3 nights and they came home so happy and worn out! She goes above and beyond with pictures and I screwed up and didn’t send enough chow and she supplemented on her own! 100% will recommend to everyone!

Nathan was amazing with our golden retriever, Rosie, while my family and I were away on a trip. He was incredibly attentive and caring throughout her stay, making it extra special with toys, space to play, and daily activities to keep her entertained. His kids loved her and took great care of her as well, which was so heartwarming. Nathan kept me updated daily with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind. I highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat their pets like family!

What an incredible family taking care of our new puppy called Ziggy. We live abroad and needed a sitter until we could take him over full time. They were so easy to communicate with and so helpful with everything from change of food, treats, to teaching him demands and keeping him safe. He has been playing non stop with their house dog as well as with other dogs they have sat through the more than one month they took care of Ziggy. I can’t be thankful enough. Your dog will be safe with this family, I can assure you this! Thank you Maria & Matthew 🙏🏻

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Armonee. My dogs first time with a boarder and she could not have made things easier for him and me. Her communication is top tier with regular texts, photos and concerns. She is caring, gentle and tailors her approach to fit the animals needs, like she did with my special needs senior dog. She treats pets like they are her own and it is obvious from the moment you meet her. I trusted her completely and will be rebooking with her in the future. Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a safe and loving place for your pet. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for.

Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!

Jane and her family were able to take my request during a last minute change of plans on my part, and made to make Rogue feel at home as soon as she walked in the door. We were all sad when Rogue had to finally leave but they took such good care of her during her stay and I'll definitely be contacting them again if I ever need a sitter 💙

I was initially nervous about leaving my fur babies, but from the very beginning, communication with Ashley was smooth and reassuring. She was incredibly accommodating and ut was clear that she and her family gave our pets so much love and attention. We're beyond grateful to have found a family who treats our fur babies like their own. Now that we've found them, we can finally plan. more trips with peace of mind. Thank you for everything!
