“My dog had a good time with Kalista and he felt very happy after the boarding. My dog is very active and sometime cause me tons of headache, and Kalista is happy to stay with him. She also gave me feedback on how my dog was doing during the stay. I would definitely recommend her and would like to choose her again if I need dog boarding service.”

“Cameron was amazing! He took our (very) energetic pup at the last minute and made us feel very good about leaving her with him, his partner, and their own dog. He sent pictures and updates and was very responsive during the 24-hour stay. Upon pick up, he even gave us some training tips that will be sure to help us a great deal. We *highly* recommend Cameron!”

About: Growing up I always wanted a dog. I finally made that dream come true as a parent for my two boys. We got our first dog 10 years ago (Charlie, the Beagle) and got him a companion (Zoe, Pug mix). Charlie has recently passed on, but Zoe would love to have your dog visit! I work from home and can be very flexible with your dog's needs. I can walk your dog and can let them outside in our yard which has a line where your dog can be attached and roam freely. We have a line outback that allows your dog free (but tethered) access to our full back yard. Your dog is welcome to all areas of the home and our bed at night if that's what s/he is used to.

“Ricky is in the best possible hands with this family! I was out of the country for a week, and had complete piece of mind. Received daily photos and messages. The only issue is, he's not sure if he wants to leave this family when I pick him up!! :)”

“Ben did a fantastic job with Norman! He was very flexible with our schedule and Norman seemed to have gotten a ton of attention and love while we were gone. We will definitely be using Ben again!”

“It’s always like a doggy vacation when my dog stays with Valarie!! She loves it there! She loves playing with her dog mishu and we get plenty of updates and pictures while we are away!”

“Robert was easy to work with, accommodating, and he sent pictures and updates on a regular basis. Our dogs seemed comfortable and happy during their stay, as evidenced by multiple photos of them making themselves at home on the back of his couch and sprawled out on his bed. He's also got a fun sense of humor. We'll book with Robert again.”

“Louis loved his time with Matthew! He sent daily updates of Louis which was great. We will definitely be using Matthew as a dog sitter again!”

“Shay did an amazing job with our pup, Max. She sent so many pictures and updates, which was great because we missed our pup so much! He had sooooo much fun with her, loved the walks they went on, and all the attention he got! I know who we’re calling when we need a boarder! Thanks so much Shay!!!”

“Samantha sent pictures of our dog every day and Carter seemed very content with his stay at her house for over a week. Samantha is very cummunicative.”

“The short version: Drew is an absolute gem & I will rebook with him any and every chance I get. Above and beyond. I was a bit nervous about leaving my Aussie, Jasper, who is high energy and a velcro dog. All of my fears disappeared when I found Drew. Jasper ended up making a wonderful friend; he had a fabulous time playing and socializing with Drew and friends. He was even a little sad to have his vacation at Drew's house end. Your dog will have such an amazing time and you will be able to be away from your pet with peace of mind. The long version: My Aussie Jasper and I have not spent much time apart and he is very much a mama's boy. I had attempted boarding Jasper with my vet's office doggie day care facility, but it proved too overwhelming and overstimulating for Jasper. He had a terrible time and it left me feeling even more anxious about leaving him again. Summer came and I had a trip planned with a friend. I was a wreck thinking about what to do with Jasper, procrastinating and imagining horror stories. After exhausting friends and other people who felt "safer" than someone from the internet, I found Rover and I'm so glad I did. Rover introduced me to Drew. He already had great reviews and everyone boasted about what a good time their puppers had while vacationing with him. As I looked over his profile and read more reviews, I quickly placed him at the top of my list and I contacted him along with a few other people. I felt like I had impossibly high standards for anyone watching my fur baby, but Drew made them all look easy breezy. From the very beginning Drew was kind and welcoming and calm. He responded to my request quickly and provided a timeline for when I could expect communication from him. He obliged my desires for a meet and greet, which, admittedly, I wanted more so to get to know Drew better than to introduce him to Jasper, though that was also part of it. As we walked around Drew's neighborhood, I was delighted to learn we shared a similar work and activity flow, which meant Jasper would remain on a very familiar schedule. He asked so many thoughtful questions about Jasper and our routine, all with the intention of understanding what he would need to do in order to provide Jasper with a similar experience as he would have at home. I could feel just how much Drew genuinely cares about his role as doggie vacation guide and also his genuine love for dogs. I could've cried tears of joy. I couldn't believe I had found the perfect person to watch Jasper. Jasper was so excited to see Drew again. He was ready to hang! Drew sent me updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring. With me, Jasper gets quite a bit of exercise every day and I worried he might be too rambunctious with someone else. Drew took Jasper on long walks and scheduled doggie play dates providing Jasper with lots of physical and mental exercise. Jasper stayed on his regular schedule and transitioned seamlessly between houses. Drew kept all of Jasper's things organized, even going as far as cleaning and sanitizing some items. Drop off and pick up were so smooth, it was like we had done it 100 times before. Jasper came home exhausted after all the fun he had at his new friend Drew's house and, believe me, he would have stayed longer if he could. I will book Drew every chance I can. He is a wonderful person, so genuine and caring. He will think of your dog like they are his own family. You couldn't ask for better.”
