“We had such a great experience with Ashley and Michael watching our dog! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt totally at ease. Ashley sent us photo updates throughout the evening, and Copper looked so happy and relaxed! It was clear he was having a wonderful time! We’re so grateful for their care and would absolutely trust them again with our pup!🐶🤍”
“Julie was so wonderful with our two fur babies! We loved all the updates and pictures we got! We could tell our dogs were very taken care of and loved. Thanks so much Julie! We look forward to using you in the future! :)”
“Ashley was so awesome!!! She obviously has lots of experience with dogs, and our dog benefited! She sent lots of pictures and videos, which we LOVED. She was fun to talk to when we dropped off and picked up, and she was just fabulous all around!! Can’t recommend any more than 5 stars, but I’d do 6 if I could.”
“This was our second boarding with McKenna and Justin. They were extremely accommodating to a schedule change we had and were great with communication. We got updated on our pup with pictures every couple of days. He came home happy which we love to see. We love working with them and Oliver is always happy to see them.”
“First timer for using Rover and cannot believe how great Melissa was. She treated our pup like a member of their family and sent cute pictures to give us updates. We didn't feel like we had to worry at all. We will definitely be booking boarding for our pup with Melissa again!”
“Danii has taken our dog a few times now, including for a multi-day stay. Our high-energy dog (1-year-old) returned happy and tired from a lot of play. Danii took special note of our dog's personality and gave her a lot of personal attention. We will be grateful to leave our dog with Danii for an upcoming vacation.”
“Shannon and her family were fantastic to work with! They took our 5 year old Aussiedoodle and teeny kitty for us. She was very responsive, communicated well, and loved our babies like we do. Will definitely use her again!”
“Our husky and mini American Eskimo had a great time with Jason! Very responsive sitters and they made sure to keep us updated with plenty of pics and videos. Their husky provided ours with a great exercise partner!”
“Such a great family. They took amazing care of my little guy. I was sent pictures of how happy he was. I would recommend Cara to anyone who wants their fur babies to have love & happiness during their stay.”
“This was the first time leaving my dog ever and Katie was absolutely wonderful with my French Bulldog Adonis. He can have trouble with other dogs at times and can be a bit Moody. She sent me updates each day with wonderful pictures of my sweet boy just smiling. I felt so comfortable and knew that he was being taken great care of. If I ever have to board him again I most definitely would use Katie again”
“Rebecca did an incredible job taking care of our Mowgli. We got status updates, pictures and video so we knew how Mowgli was doing. Our pup loved their dogs and we will for sure book with Rebecca and her family again.”
“Alicia and Mikel were amazing sitters! Firstly they took our dog at the very last minute, the same day I started looking. They were willing to watch my difficult dog after a meet and greet, which was great as he is a rescue and has some issues with strangers. Every day they sent updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease, as this is the first time he's been away from us since we got him. They were even flexible with the booking date as I came home early. I will definitely be using them again when I need to go out of town. I really appreciate the professionalism and the care of my baby.”
“The family took such great care of our dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. They sent us pretty regular updates with photos and our girls looked so happy and healthy. When we picked up the dogs, they were of course happy to see us again but they almost seemed sad to leave Madilynn and family too. We absolutely plan to book again for future trips.”
“Mellisa was wonderful, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of my dog. The minute we got there, my dog and hers were happily playing and I knew it was going to be great! I would 100% recommended!”
“Kimberly was really great with Sampson. It was his first time staying with someone that wasn't family. The pictures she sent were wonderful. I will use Kimberly for any future stays Sampson may need.”
“Kelsey was the absolute best and took such great care of our dog. She was proactive in updating us with photos and her kids had so much fun keeping our guy entertained. It felt good to go out of town and really not have to worry at all because we knew Kelsey was on it and taking the best care of our pup.”
“Marina did an excellent job on taking care of Harley. She went beyond what I expected. Took Harley out for walks, and even took Harley to her favorite dog park. Keept me updated and sent pictures. I highly recommend Marina.”
