Blythe did a great job watching our senior dog Charlie while we attended a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. Her flexibility, communication, and occasional updates were much appreciated, especially given the fact that he was getting over some stomach issues the same week and she needed to give him some meds during his stay. His stay with her went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend her to future clients!

We were so anxious about Major's first ever Rover stay, but Lila really put us at ease. Major connected with Lila as soon as we entered her house and it was easy to see her ability to connect with animals. He followed her around and didn't immediately try to follow us out to the car when we went to get his stuff. Lila sent us photos and regular updates while we were away on vacation. When Major's stomach began to bother him, she didn't hesitate to contact us and confirm the need for administering his medication. She was active each day with Major, which is crucial for burning off some of that boxer energy. It was clear by the end of the visit that Lila loved Major as much as we do and would gladly have him stay with Lila and her family again!

Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!

I could not be more impressed with Cyndi! My dog Finley absolutely loved her, we got so many pictures, I did not worry about him for a single moment. We have a long stay coming up next week, and doing a “trial night” was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves!

I felt SO comfortable leaving my dog with Sarah (and her adorable pups). Sarah communicates quickly and thoroughly, and she shows true compassion for my guy. She was happy to give him medication and also meet his quirky needs. And he had a blast, I know.
