“Joan is the best. She sent me daily updates and pictures of my baby. I hate being away from Randall, as many pet owners do, but it definitely gave me peace of mind having him with Joan. I knew he was being well taken care of and having a good time! Joan was responsive and easy to work with as well!”


“Duane and Lauren were wonderful to work with and took great care of our two dogs!!! Their communication was terrific and they were very flexible. We would love to have our dogs stay with them again!!”


“Kaycee was very helpful at our meet and greet, we hung out in their yard for a bit and she explained their setup and routine. She sent pictures while Ollie was boarded, which is much appreciated, and accommodated Ollie when he needed company overnight.”


“Al and Hannah were phenomenal! They were very responsive and sent a lot of updates through my dog's stay. It made me feel very comfortable leaving Cas with them, and I absolutely will again if the need arises. Highly recommend!”

“Hope provided excellent communication and highly knowledgeable care for my senior dog. He felt so comfortable with Hope and they bonded during his five day stay with her. I was impressed and inspired by Hopes knowledge and attentiveness to detail. She keeps a regular daily routine that gave my dog so much reassurance and predictability, he quickly adapted. Hope was so dependable which gave me tremendous comfort while I was away. She quickly figured out his personality and his quirks and accepted him with humor, respect and love.”


“My mini poodle absolutely LOVES going to Camp Laura! Penny stayed with Laura recently for several days, and Laura took such amazing care of her. Penny got to walk and go to the dog park daily, play with Laura's pets and sleep in comfort each night. I never worry when Penny stays with Laura because Laura is so kind and caring. We will enlist Laura again when we need a safe and happy place for Penny! Thank you, Laura!”


“Our dog Lucy thoroughly enjoyed her short stay w Robert! Her owner was so happy w Roberts ability to watch Lucy as a last minute request. This was my first time using Rover and Robert was super helpful w assisting me to navigate the system and figure out what service I actually needed. I would definitely use Rover in the future and Robert if available. His rates are very reasonable!!”

We look forward for to using her again.”

From start to finish, we had a great experience working with Nick. He is very responsive and was happy to answer any questions that I had. I also had a great time out of town knowing that Kylo was in good hands. Kylo had a blast playing with Nick's dogs, and I was happy to bring home a worn out pup. I definitely plan on booking with Nick again!

Katherine is delightful, and very responsible! She took great care of my dog! Poppy was very happy. Katherine has great communication skills, sent a lot of updates with cute pictures, and was flexible about the last minute booking. Would definitely re-book with her!

Mikaela was so great and super flexible! Estrella was prescribed medications right before her stay and Mikaela handled it like a pro! She also sent updates and photos which was much appreciated. We truly felt like we could trust her and Theo to give Estrella the best care while on vacation, which was a huge relief. We are looking forward to have Estrella stay with them again!

My mini poodle absolutely LOVES going to Camp Laura! Penny stayed with Laura recently for several days, and Laura took such amazing care of her. Penny got to walk and go to the dog park daily, play with Laura's pets and sleep in comfort each night. I never worry when Penny stays with Laura because Laura is so kind and caring.

Zeppelin and his owners are beyond elated to have found Hannah and her doggies for boarding! From the meet and greet to pickup, we could not have asked for anything better. Hannah is intuitive, patient, kind, and has well trained doggies! She made sure to double check any special needs or requests and was very communicative during Zeppelin's stay. The pictures shared and behavior of our dog during drop off and pickup let us know he felt right at home. Hannah will be top of our list when looking for future care!

Kara was amazing with our puppy, Marty! We had a last minute change shortly before our trip and needed to find someone to care for our puppy. Kara was able to care for Marty and he did great in her home! She handled his puppy related behaviors without issue. Kara communicated with us throughout the week and sent us regular updates. We will gladly send Marty to stay with Kara again in the future!
