“5 stars for our experience with Mariola. She’s super communicative, so friendly and warm, and I know made it feel like a 2nd home for our dog! She offered helpful tips after observing his behavior for a few days. Her updates brought me so much joy each day. If we go away for an extended vacation again, I know exactly who to bring him to!”
“I cannot recommend Danielle enough! She was the perfect dog sitter for Nova while I was away on my bachelorette trip. Danielle went above and beyond to care for Nova, keeping me updated daily and even surprising her with a lovely dog vest. Not only did she pamper Nova, but she also gave her a bath, leaving Nova smelling amazing and with soft, fluffy fur. I truly appreciate Danielle's exceptional care and attention to detail. I would rate her 10/10 and wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Zoe with Wenxin and her partner. We’ve been dealing with some allergies and they helped us keep up with her probiotics and cleansing foam. Zoe was well exercised and came home fully relaxed. They also went above and beyond with dropping her off at our house since they were in the neighborhood that evening, as well as supplementing her food when I forgot a meals worth. Highly recommend especially if you want your dog treated like family!”
“Marlene was wonderful! She was very responsive, kind, and reliable. We met before, so she could be introduced to and ask questions about Birdy. She has a great home environment, and I definitely felt like my pup was in great hands. I would be more than happy to work with Marlene again (as would Birdy!)”
“Madeleine was awesome with our two year old American Bully Nala for an overnight. Nala got very comfortable with her and we are now doing an extended four nights with her.”
“Cassy and Kizemt were awesome! We had difficulties with our previous dog sitter, so were a little skittish leaving Merrick to go on vacation for over a week. Cassy met with us ahead of time so that we could get to know her and her pup. During our trip, Cassy sent us regular photos and videos of Merrick having a blast on hikes and adventures--he definitely got a little vacay, too! She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Everything about the sitting was fantastic. Cassy is incredibly friendly and easy to be in contact with. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Hope was recommended to us by another great Rover sitter, and we are really grateful. Hope is so friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. She made Coconut comfortable immediately. Her little dog Rocky is adorable and super friendly. Coconut loved going for walks and playing with Rocky's toys. Hope was great with sending text updates as well as photos and videos. Here's hoping Hope doesn't get too busy to have room for Coconut the next time we need her!”
“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”
“Could not have asked for a better accommodation and care for my pooch! Patrick communicated and provided updates and photos daily and I could see that my dog was well-cared for and loved. I would definitely recommend him to all other pet parents! Thank you, Pat!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lily and Roo had a great time last weekend with Eiko and her family! They got tons of love and were well taken care of. Thanks Eiko for everything - I’m sure the pups are looking forward to the next visit!”
About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
About: I am compassionate about dogs and truly want them to enjoy themselves in my home. As an animal shelter foster volunteer, I am particularly experienced in helping shy dogs relax! I WFH from Monday to Friday, so I provide breakfast and a AM walk just before I start my work day. During the work day, I provide potty breaks in my private, fully fenced yard. After work, I can provide a PM walk, dinner, and evening cuddles! Your pup will have my 15lb dog as a buddy during the day while I WFH. They have access to a fully fenced private backyard to play and sunbathe. Our home is focused on providing a calm and peaceful environment for your pup to relax and enjoy.
“Robert was absolutely wonderful with our girl Phoebe on her first overnight! We were a bit apprehensive as Phoebe has separation anxiety but she was happily occupied with multiple walks and so much love! Robert's level of conscientiousness is unmatched and we completely entrust him with Phoebe's health and safety, including keeping her away from other dogs so her reactiveness isn't triggered. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Ashish and family boarded Penny for a week while I was traveling. They sent me lots of pics of how much fun Penny was having with the family and I wondered if she would even want to come home 😆”
“Joann is a wonderful Rover. We did a meet and greet at her home a few weeks prior to Jackson’s stay and she was very thorough. She’s experienced and professional. She sent updates with photos and took good care of our boy! We’ll book with her again!”

“One word: AWESOME! Vivian was an amazing caretaker not only for our cat Luna, but for our backyard chickens too! Each visit we received a bunch of photos of both Luna and our chickens and Vi also came over before our scheduled visit to go over all our instructions. Would DEFINITELY book again!”
“Crystal did an outstanding job taking care of my two spoiled cats while I was away for the holidays. I really appreciated the attentiveness to detail, the excellent communication, and the effort to establish strong rapport with my pets (one of whom is very shy and fearful). Highly recommend Crystal!”
“William was great and easy to work with. I'm new to Rover and appreciate that he was willing to do a meet and greet before I left my little buddy in his care. He (and his kids helped) took great care of Gregory, and he was very communicative and sent a ton of photos.”
“Shuhan took great care of our two cats over the holiday weekend! One of our boys was recently diagnosed with diabetes and so requires 2x daily insulin injections and a little extra monitoring, Shuhan was incredibly considerate, caring & attentive to my boy! Our other cat, Fig, is p sassy & selective with his love, he seemed to really warm up to Shuhan!! Both cats were happy & relaxed when we got home, and Shuhan left the house in great condition, even stripping the bed for me!! Will definitely be booking his services again!”
“Tanzie took my booking pretty last minute, I was grateful and very considerately offered a quick meet and greet. My Sav took to her immediately She kept me well informed daily and I know Sav was so happy to see her. Having Tanzie take care of Sav made my time out of town so much easier!”
About: hi! i’m supriya :) i’m a cat mom to a sassy & cuddly tortie named tiger :) i’m experienced with all the basic caretaking for cats — including feeding dry & wet food, refilling water fountains, cleaning litter boxes, cleaning up messes :,( & giving lots of cuddles <3
“Ana was great again watching our kitties while we were away. Appreciated all the pics and could tell our kitties really enjoyed getting cuddles and playtime. She was also thoughtful and was quick to bring up any small details she noticed (like any small deviation in our cat’s BM). And always very communicative on when her schedule changed.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have a few years of experience helping take care of them. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walking, feeding, and general care. I’m responsible, patient, and pay attention to each pet’s needs and routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available anytime on weekends and from noon to 3pm Monday through Friday. I have a consistent schedule and am very reliable during these times. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while always keeping the area clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will communicate with updates if needed.
“Amelia took wonderful care of my cat, Elodie. She was very attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire booking. She sent me daily photos and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated how carefully she followed the care instructions and asked thoughtful questions whenever she noticed something or wasn’t sure. It showed how much she genuinely cared about Elodie’s wellbeing. Elodie can be a bit shy, but Amelia was patient and gentle with her, and it was clear from the photos that Elodie felt comfortable around her. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave. I would absolutely recommend Amelia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Amelia!”
“Kirsten is absolutely amazing and I will reach out to her whenever I need a cat sitter again. She is extremely attentive, caring, responsible, and willing to go the extra mile. It is also clear she loves animals, which is very important to me when choosing a sitter. Our cat Mira was having litter box problems and Kirsten was open to even bathing the cat on her own! She also provided great communication and pictures throughout the entire process, and always let us know if she had any concerns about Mira's health (Mira is FIV-positive so her immunity is low, making her prone to contracting diseases). Overall, highly recommend!”
“Rong is fantastic! She’s taken care of my kitty a couple of times now and always does a great job. She’s been super accommodating to last minute schedule changes, and is always kind and thorough. My cat loves her and I feel so much better leaving knowing Rong is watching her!”
“Autumn took care of our kitty for a week and was so great! She is super communicative and responsive. My normally very shy kitty was crawling all over her within seconds of her arrival so she is clearly great with animals. Will definitely book again in the future”
“I highly recommend John and plan on hiring him again. I have 2 difficult, previously feral cats and he was ready to accept their anxiety, indifference, and their rudeness. We had to change our schedule 3 times because of other family members catching Covid, but John rolled with the changes, showing an accepting and professional attitude. He totally gets animals and the flaky humans who have to change plans. Thank you, John!”
About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember—growing up, I was the one who found and cared for neighborhood strays, helping them feel safe and eventually find homes. I’ve had many cats of my own over the years, and each one deepened my understanding of their unique personalities and needs. After losing my last cat about six years ago, I realized how much I missed having them around. Since then, I’ve regularly cat sat for friends and family, which has been incredibly fulfilling. I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy earning a cat’s trust and making them feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Natalie was a great cat sitter for my 16 year old hairless cat. She was thoughtful, reliable, punctual, and followed instructions perfectly. The photos of him licking his chops or emerging from his blankets were so cute! Thank you so much Natalie! I plan to call you again.”
About: I provide dependable care for cats of all personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication routines, and providing companionship while owners are away. My goal is to maintain your cat's normal routine and create a calm, stress-free experience in their home environment.

“My sweet puppy was warmly welcomed by Emily and her 2 daughters. Emily has a dog who got along beautifully with my puppy! When I picked up my pup she was happy to have had such good care. Emily sent me pictures of the two dogs. She communicated well with me both in person and by text. I will most definitely ask her again to watch my pup!”

“This is our second time booking doggy day care with Danielle and her dog Nala. Danielle does a great job. She keeps our dog safe and well entertained. We appreciate her updates of messages and photos throughout the day. Looking forward to the next time.”
“Eve was absolutely amazing. She took so many videos of my puppy Aurora. She’s so sweet and quirky. We hung out for a little while after I picked up my puppy and we just laughed and got to know each other. It was an overall amazing experience from her charisma to the way that she absolutely loves dogs as if they were children.”
About: Berkeley Humane Society and Oakland Animal Services volunteer, trained with dogs of all temperaments. I also dog sit for family and friends, and love building trust and keeping routines consistent. I focus on quality walks, not quick outings. When appropriate, I take dogs to East Bay spots like Point Isabel, Albany Bulb and Berkeley Marina for space and stimulation. For drop-ins, your dog will get lots of attention, movement and care. I walk my dogs daily, often on longer outings. I adjust pace and distance based on your dog’s needs. Dog care is my priority right now. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I have flexibility and I can accommodate longer walks or extended visits I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs will always be on-leash and handled either full attention and control. I stick to your instructions and keep routines consistent
About: My goal is to provide a stress-free stay-cation for your dog , giving you the peace of mind you need to have a stress-free vacation! When I think of dogs, I think of the lessons that I've learned from them over the years. Lessons in silliness, patience, exuberance, empathy, and unconditional love :] I do have a business partner, a 10 year old retired service dog named Kizmet. He comes with me virtually everywhere and is extremely patient and great with other dogs. He and I work together to make all of our guests feel welcome and safe while their families are away. I grew up with a puppy of my own and in high school, I boarded my friends' dogs. I began dog sitting in college. I am a dog walker and sitter to dogs of all shapes and sizes. I absolutely LOVE my job, and there is rarely a day when I am not excited for work! I am very patient, firm, and kind with everyone I meet, and this extends of course to my canine friends. I have experience walking many dogs at a time, especially off-leash. I always take a hike midday, as well as a couple shorter outings around the neighborhood in the morning and in the evening. I love the dog-friendly trails at the Bulb, Marina, Pt Isable and Tilden Park. I also love to take the dogs swimming when possible! I think its important that dogs get socialization time with other dogs, in addition to physical exercis and mental stimulation. My ultimate goal is to reduce as much anxiety as possible, in order to maximise fun. Kizmet is a black lab/pittie mix who loves smooches, snuggling, and swimming. He gets along with everyone. He also adores kids. As a dog owner myself, I am committed to providing your sweet furbabe with the care I would want Kizmet to have in my absense. In the future, I hope to found my own working dog training center. I know that my pup has helped me so much already, and I would love to provide similar deeply rewarding experiences to others in need. I currently work from home, so I am around and available at all times. Your fur baby will only be alone for up to 3 hours at the most! I have a small fenced yard with plenty of shade. My pup enjoys sunbathing and having spirited exchanges with our squirrel neighbors. Everyone is welcome on the bed and furniture :] I create a safe space for my animal friends by ensuring they have enough personal space, letting them set the pace of interaction, and making sure they feel confident and supported.
“We asked Juyeon to look after our dogs, Ella and Andy, for a single day, and we’re pleased with the experience. She was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since we needed to drop them off early in the morning. Juyeon took great care of Ella and Andy, giving them short walks 6 times throughout the day, which was very thoughtful given they weren’t in the mood for longer walks. She kept us updated, was quick to respond, and gave us peace of mind. Overall, we’re happy we asked Juyeon to care for Ella and Andy, and we’d love to have her dog sit for us again in the future.”
“Vito loooves Mariola and Lux! He had a great time staying there for the day. Mariola is attentive and patient and provides a safe and relaxed environment. We will definitely have Vito stay with her again.”
“Yagmur did a great job with my husky, Alba! She was friendly, communicative, and shared a lot of updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated, especially since it was Alba's first time with dog boarding.”
About: I’ve always grown up with cats and dogs since I was a little kid. I believe in pet therapy. I’m here to support you and fur baby when needed! I’m currently on break from my work at a school site where I would bring my dog to work with me. :) I work remotely as a very part-time freelancer so I’m home each afternoon. My apartment is very pet friendly with tons of toys, treats, sofa covers, etc. I also live within walking distance of multiple gated, community parks.
“Sarah was amazing! Very kind and communicative. My 10 year old Australian Shepherd was comfortable and at ease with her and in her home. Very glad to have booked with her!”
About: Hello! My name is Hyesuk, and I am a reliable and caring dog sitter who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs.

“If I could give 6 stars I would. Kianna and the kids treated Charlie with care and kindness. They played til he dropped. Normally when I pick him up from days care, he’s ready to go, not today. I think he was upset he was leaving. :) I will be booking again. Thank you Kianna.”
“Dylan and his family were amazing! Pancho enjoyed spending time with other pups. Something that as an only child he doesn’t get to do very often. Pancho was a bit constipated at the time of drop off and Dylan kept me in the loop and tracked any updates. I also received many photos and even a video of Panchitos adventures.”
“Our furry old man loved the snuggles, scratches & pets so much that he didn't want to come home with us during pick up! Yeon is very sweet & friendly, responds very quickly to messages & kept us up to date with pictures. Thank you so much! 11/10 definitely would recommend!”
“Laura took such great care of Roscoe while we spent the day in the city. She provided regular updates with photos, and Roscoe appeared to have a fantastic time! He didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! Highly recommend :)”

“James was totally responsible, always arriving on time, taking our Ginger for full hour walks. Ginger has always been crazy excited when James arrives. I love getting the route they walked and a photo at the end of the walk. We’ll be calling on James whenever we need a caring fur babe walker.”
“Erika is an excellent human being and fine dog walker. She shows up on time and gives my little dog the exercise she needs. She is sensitive to Annie's quirks. I completely trust her and feel very fortunate to have Erika helping me with my pup.”

“I needed a dog walker for my young working line German shepherd. My husband was staying home with the dogs while I visited my family, but he can’t walk far enough or fast enough to keep my baby entertained and exercised. I was delighted that Shuhan wasn’t deterred by barking when he arrived for a meet-and-greet, so we booked him. He arrived on time every day, didn’t mind dealing with foxtail nets, and returned her ready for a nap. We will definitely call him next time!”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs from puppy through adulthood over the last 20 years and have given tens of thousands of walks. Charlie was a stubborn and happy Basset Hound, and Teddy was a big, lovable, and strong Great Pyrenees who unfortunately passed early last year. I recently moved to Berkeley, and would truly love to have fun putting my dog walking skills to use with your pup. Able to offer same-day evening requests as well as any other time of day with 1+ day notice. Also able to give long 1+ hour evening walks at $25/hr! I don’t have space at my home which is my motivation for helping and spending time with local dogs on Rover!

You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same care I would give my own.
“Samantha did such a great job with both our senior large dog and our small puppy. She walked them and fed them and followed all of our instructions. She was also very flexible as my schedule changed and was happy to accommodate our changes. I would definitely book her dog walking services again!”
“Tanze did a great job on her first walk with Milo and let Stella in and out of the house for a quick break. Even better, Tanze offered to come over and meet the dogs before the first walk making everything feel more comfortable. She is a good communicator and provided a good photo/video and description of the walk. I will use her again.”

“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”
About: I absolutely love all animals! Growing up, my family always had a minimum of two dogs at a time. Since I was young, I have been trusted by friends and family members to watch over not only their pets, but their plants as well. As an adult living alone, I have only ever had 1 cat at a time in my home, however, my plant game has grown to a bit of a jungle! On top of taking care of animals, I also LOVE a clean house and I take it upon myself to always leave people’s homes cleaner than I found them in! I’m currently looking to open my own business doing just that: Pet sitting and deep cleaning while folks are out of town. In my opinion, there is nothing better than coming home from a vacation or a work trip to a clean home and a happy animal! I have been working with Meowtel watching cats for the last year and have found it to be exceptionally rewarding. Recently, my sweet cat passed away and I left my demanding job. Due to these circumstances I have decided that since I have the time and opportunity, opening my home to board would be a great way to expand my offerings. I look forward to meeting this community and giving dog (cat, plant, etc.) owners peace of mind while they travel, get stuck working a double, or just want to support their companion with an extra afternoon walk. I left my extremely demanding job in December after my cat got sick. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. Since his passing, I have focused on taking care of pets and cleaning homes. This has brought me more joy than any demanding corporate job, and I hope I can continue to work in this capacity for many years in the future. My schedule is very flexible! I am an animal lover living in an animal free home at this moment. Because of this, I am open to boarding. I am not concerned with animals who want to sit on the couch with me or lay on the bed, but I will follow the rules of what they’re allowed to do at home if you prefer that. My home will be their home, and I will do everything to make sure that they feel safe and cared for while in my hands. I’m an active person and love taking long walks and hikes. So, if that’s something that your dog is into, I am happy to schedule an adventure that meets their mileage needs! On the contrary, if you have a small dog or one who just wants to go out for a stroll around the block or to do their business in the grass, I’m happy to do that too! I have a small unfenced side yard to accommodate. I live on the second floor of an apartment building with no elevator, so if your pup is not able to do stairs and is too heavy to pick up, my home wouldn’t be a good fit.
“Robert was absolutely wonderful with our girl Phoebe on her first overnight! We were a bit apprehensive as Phoebe has separation anxiety but she was happily occupied with multiple walks and so much love! Robert's level of conscientiousness is unmatched and we completely entrust him with Phoebe's health and safety, including keeping her away from other dogs so her reactiveness isn't triggered. We couldn't ask for more!”
“Joann is a wonderful Rover. We did a meet and greet at her home a few weeks prior to Jackson’s stay and she was very thorough. She’s experienced and professional. She sent updates with photos and took good care of our boy! We’ll book with her again!”
“Maria was great with my poodle mix pita. She sent me updates and pictures. Her house is very clean and tidy. We will be booking with her again. Great experience. Thank you Maria!”
“Our Luna girl stayed with Adam and Julie for over a week and this was herfirst stay with them. We did do a meet and greet a couple months before the actual stay so we had an idea if Luna liked Adam and Julie. Luna is normally a fairly reactive young puppy like adolescent with frequent barking and lungeing at people and dogs that distress her which can be many people and dogs. We went to their home for the meet and greet and Luna was fairly comfortable with Adam and Julie right off the bat. That was definitely a good sign. Two months later and Luna now 2 months older and more mellow has her stay with Adam and Julie. We picked Luna up after our trip and she was happy, playful, and reacted like she had a good stay. Julie and Adam gave us a full report and it seems everything went well. We got a daily picture of Luna sent via text which made us very happy to connect with her. Thanks to Adam and Julie for taking good care of our girl while we were on vacation.”
“Megan and Jenny were fantastic! They communicated multiple updates throughout the day — every day, and multiple times — with photos. They made sure Pancho was well taken care of and enjoyed a variety of activities. They were responsive, attentive, and kind. Drop-off and pick-up were efficient. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be repeat customers.”
“Very responsive and gave me lots of updates about how my dog was doing during his boarding stay. My dog came home happy as can be and looks very well cared for and based on the pictures had an awesome time with Alexis.”
“Timothy and his family was absolutely an amazing rover experience. They sent daily updates and made sure he got all the love while I was away. Their dog coco was also so sweet and an amazing companion for Eddy; he loved her! Would recommend and definitely will be booking again!”
“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”
“Jeff & Beth and his children are great sitters. We’re so grateful to have found them! They sent multiple pictures and messages letting me know how our dog Luna was doing throughout her stay. They made the drop off and pick up so easy which is a huge bonus! And Luna came home happy and healthy! You can tell that they really enjoy looking after dogs. They are just really nice people!”
“Truly such a great experience for my dog. Stephanie was so nice and flexible with my schedule. I needed a last min booking and Stephanie truly went above and beyond to help accommodate and give my dog a great time. She exposed my pup to some new activities, like bike riding, which he loved!! It was also my pups birthday when she took care of him and she even gave him a little homemade peanut butter lick mat to celebrate. You won’t regret booking with Stephanie if you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like her own! :)”
“Nasreddine was a reliable and loving caregiver to Ernie! I loved the many photo updates she sent me, and it was clear he was happy and cozy while we were away. I recommend Nasreddine and would definitely work with her again!”
“Alex kept my golden retriever for a week and left me feeling GREAT about the boarding. From the daily pix & videos, it seemed that Alex integrated Mika into her family life completely, even having her at their backyard easter egg hunt! Mika got lots of play time & tons of petting, played with her daughters at the playground across the street, and did her napping right under Alex's feet when she was working. Such a great feeling to know your dog is well cared for when away. Thanks so much Alex!”
“Her and her partner are excellent they took my pup in and she was so happy playing with their pups thank you guys and if I need people to watch my do I will always request yall.”
“This was a wonderful place for my year old Havanese. There were two small dogs living there and she could play as much as she wanted to. They went above and beyond: combed her long hair, washed her bed and blanket and her stuffed animal, Lamb Chop. I will be using them again. There was a nice grassy backyard, but Leon also walks them several times a day.”
“Once again, Ben and his family too such good care of our dog Hank. Ben and his family treat Hank like he’s one of their own. From the moment we drop him up to when we pick him up we can relax knowing he’s in excellent care. We couldn’t recommend Ben and his family more!”
