Evan (and his wife) were very easy to communicate and work with. Tako was happy and healthy and excited, as usual, on pickup. Thanks so much.

Andy took great care of my puppy! Not easy with a 5 month old golden doodle, but Bixby had many walks and a backyard to spend this energy. It was a good experience for him to socialize with Andy’s daughter and other dogs he dogs sits.I appreciated the daily pictures and videos. We won’t hesitate to reach out again.

Noah is the best! He goes above and beyond caring for our dog. We have never left our dog for an extended period of time with anyone other than family but when we couldn't bring our pup with us on a trip- we knew he was in the best hands! I would recommend Noah to anyone! 100/10!

Katherin was AMAZING with Wrigley, so thoughtful and attentive. We received very thorough updates and she was quick so ask any questions she had. We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!

Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This was my first pet boarding with neighbor Alex. Our meet and greet was wonderful, and I knew then my fur baby, Lexi, would love staying at his home. Alex and Lexi enjoyed one another during my recent trip. Alex even got Lexi to eat during what is normally a hunger strike when staying with new sitters. I’ve already booked my 2024 trips with Alex keeping Lexi. Unfortunately my previous boarding facility just lost a client!

Michael did a great job with my little rescue Yorkie, Gracie. He sent pictures and updates on how she was doing and was very communicative throughout the process. Gracie is a velcro dog who is very shy and anxious around new people and dogs. She seemed to acclimate to Michael and his daughter quickly which I could tell in the pictures. She had been very content and happy once since I picked her up. Will definitely be boarding Gracie with him again in the future.

Bridgid was phenomenal. Our dog is standoffish with new people, but by the end of two days with Bridgid he didn’t want to leaver her. Her years of dog ownership really show and she projects calm, confidence, and flexibility. She handled a complex med schedule like a champ and truly went above and beyond. She may be new to Rover, but don’t let that fool you - she is truly one of the best you will find.

Kasia is fantastic. During our black lab's boarding this weekend, she kept us in the loop on everything with lots of photos and video updates throughout our trip, so we always knew our pup was happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. We came home to a relaxed, happy doggo and never had a moment of worry while we were away. If you're looking for a boarder you can fully trust, Kasia is it. Highly recommend!

Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.

Every year I go on an important week plus business trip around Memorial Day. My most anxiety producing issue is finding the right person to take care of my now 13 1/2 year old doxie mix Bridget---who is very attached to me, my BFF, who can have some separation anxiety, but manages extremely well and is pretty amazing for her age. It's hard to to book over the holiday and can be hard to find someone in my neighborhood, Georgetown. I wasn't having a lot of luck, but when I found Omar, I knew my luck had changed! He responded quickly and told me he loved animals more than people, especially dogs, and after Bridget's stay with him, I know this to be true. He provided the companionship and extra-ordinary tender loving care that Bridget needed to be secure while I was away, especially for an older dog. It gave me peace of mind. I loved seeing my videos of Bridget while she was on her walks or just being comfy at home with Omar in his immaculate house. Omar truly is an animal whisperer and I would highly recommend him to take care of your very special member of your family.

Michael took the best care of Chopper! Michael was super easy to work with, provided lots of pictures of Chopper’s day, and overall treated him as his own. Chopper has lymphoma, and Michael and his family were so good with him! Chopper absolutely loved his stay, and we would definitely book another stay when we head out of town next time. Thank you, Michael and family, for taking such great care of Chops!

Thi did an amazing job watching over Taro for me for the weekend. She provided me cute daily updates of my pup that reassured me he was in very much good hands. I could tell he had gotten comfy with Thi even learned to properly roll over with her (its his favorite trick now lol) Thank you so much again! I was pressing time trying to find a sitter and I am very happy to have found her. I will definitely be booking with Thi again in the future. 🥰

Jackie was such an amazing care taker for my boy. He unexpectedly got sick right before the visit and she went way above and beyond trying to ensure he was taken care of and was eating and taking his meds. She gave me such a peace of mind during a really stressful and unexpected time. I would absolutely trust her with any animal needs!!
