“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”


“Thank you for so much for taking great care of her baby Jacko! We will be definitely booking again in the future. We are glad you found margaret took great care of our dog child.”


“Jennifer took such great care of our puppy and had amazing communication! She sent photos and videos to update us and kept us informed throughout the day of how she was doing. It really gave us such peace of mind. We would love to book with her again in the future!”


“Amy provided exceptional care for my dog while I was away. Their attentiveness and responsibility in administering my dogs daily medication was also an extra task! I appreciated the thorough updates and pictures. I didn’t think my dog wanted to leave;) Amy treated my dog with care affection and I could tell they genuinely enjoyed spending time with him, I highly recommend Amy to anyone for a trustworthy and skilled pet sitter!! !”


“My dog Bailey had a great time with Elaine and her menagerie. Lots of walks and many other dogs to play with. Elaine kept me updated on Bailey’s status and activities every day, including photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was traveling. Very convenient to Portland Airport, so I will definitely board here again next time I’m flying out of PDX.”


“Desmond and Dayna took care of my fur baby very nicely while we are gone for vacation . They are very friendly and awesome people and highly recommend!”


“My dog Copper had such a good time during his week of boarding with Sijie and Cameron! He took to them immediately during the meet and greet, and I could tell right away I would be leaving him in the most loving, capable hands (and laps!). While I was away, I received lots and lots of pictures of their daily adventures, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. It was obvious that Copper wasn’t just being taken care of, he was having a blast and loving every minute! I came back to a happy, relaxed dog who had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking Sijie again!”


“Debbie is the best! My senior lab Luke is picky about other dogs, but he is always happy to see Debbie and her dog. He is happy when he comes home, and I feel confident he is safe and in good hands when I am away. Debbie is very thoughtful and sends updates and photos to ease my mind, which I really appreciate. Debbie will always be my first choice when I need to board my dogs.”


“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”


“This was the second time ysong Rover. Our first was god awful. I was hesitant but Haleigh was reassuring that she was going to take great care of my pooch! All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Emily. Coconut was comfortable very quickly, which was a relief. Emily also sent us immediate feedback so we could start our vacation worry-free. We got lots and lots of pictures - so fun to see Coconut zooming around the yard or crashed out on Bowie's bed. Also- I made a mistake on the booking dates, paying for one extra night, and Emily caught the mistake and fixed it immediately. This was my best experience with Rover yet. If she's available, I wouldn't use anyone else!”


“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”


“Elaine had great communication with me throughout our dogs’ stay, provided photo and video updates daily, and overall seemed to treat our pups quite well. My younger dog came home TIRED from all the play with other dogs Elaine was watching at the same time. Easy pickup and drop off process.”


“This is the place for your pet if you are looking for a worry free time away! Maggie loves her time with Christine and Steven and we know she's safe, loved and well cared for even when we are out of cell and internet service. Maggie gets pampered with walks and play time and maybe even treats she doesn't get at home. She shows she loves being with Christine and Stevem because when we take her to them and make the last turn to their house, she gets really excited!”


“My two Havanese are sweet pups and a little sensitive. I knew from the first time I met Lindsay that she was the one for us. She knows dog behavior and made them (and me) feel at ease in her home. I'll be planning my vacations around her schedule! And her dog Earnie is a big sweetheart. They sometimes don't like big dogs but he's so gentle. Lindsay sent pictures and let me know how things were going. I'm so happy we found her.”


“Ashley was amazing! She took care of my two untrained puppies for almost a week. She sent updates everyday and was super communicative. I highly recommend her for any of your dog care needs. Very professional and my puppies came back better trained than when I dropped them off! I am so lucky I found her <3”



“I highly recommend a doggie vacay with Holly. Rikki came home seeming just like she would any day we came home. Just happy to see us. Holly was quick to respond every time we contacted her, sent plenty of photos, and accommodated Rikki's complicated meal routine. She also got to ride in the car and go to the park! Yay! Thanks, Holly! Rikki says send Avery licks! ”


“Susan and Hal took such good care of our Pomeranian, Doc. We could really relax knowing that he was in a safe and caring home. We were very confident with their experience and skill. We could tell that Doc loved the place even after just a short meet-n-greet because he eagerly went up the back stairs when we dropped him off. Susan sent a photo and status report every few days to keep us updated. I'm sure Doc can't wait to visit again!”
