“Gianina & her family were so great to my pup. we recently moved and I was really nervous leaving him while I left town. They sent photos daily which eased my discomfort but also helped me see how well Sutton settled in to their home and it brought me a lot of ease to see how comfortable he was so quickly. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“This is our third time having Mary board our cats and we’ll definitely be continuing to use her! Mary takes great care of our cats and we appreciate how much time she spends hanging out with them while they’re with her. The boarding space is beautifully set up with all the things a cat could want: big window with a cat tree for bird watching, toys, cozy spots to hide, wall mounted platforms, and much more! Mary has a ton of cat experience so we always breathe a sigh of relief when she’s watching them because we know they’re in such good hands. We highly recommend Mary if you’re looking for somewhere to board your cats!”
“5/5 🌟 Olivia was friendly and flexible from the beginning of our encounter. They took great care of our 65 lbs goldendoodle and sent us daily updates. We are so happy we’ve found a reliable dog boarder so close to home.”
“Cindy was terrific to work with. We had a complicated situation involving a dog, a heart patient and a family member 1/2 a continent away. Cindy was wonderfully flexible in helping us by taking care of our dog without knowing how long her help would be needed. Daily pictures reassured us that at least one member of our family was in great shape. Thanks Cindy - we'll be back.”
“Jenna and Kristen are wonderful dog sitters! I was able to leave my 3 year old miniature dachshund (she has a bit of separation anxiety and is medicated) with them somewhat last minute and they were super accommodating. My dog loved her time there! When my dog ran out of dog food, they let me know right away and asked if it was okay to feed her their dog food. I received pictures, updates, and at pick up my dog was limping a little bit, and Jenna and Kristen checked in with me immediately stating no incidents occurred but likely she was just exhausted and due to her small size and lack of exercise, this was common. Within a few days she was just fine. Already have my next stay booked! Thank you so much!”
“Harper took absolutely the best care of our dog, Milo. She kept us updated about Milo's daily schedule and activities, making sure that he is getting enough exercises throughout the day, and treated him like her own pet during the 4-day boarding. I would recommend Harper to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter who can take great care of their fur baby!”
“I really appreciate Natallia watching ALL 4 of my cats. She did a fantastic job. They were spoiled and they did not want to leave her home. Natallia provided me pictures and updates of my fur babies. I had peace of mind while they were under her care. I highly recommend her.”
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
“Our dogs had a great time with Izzy and his family. This was our second booking and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs were so happy during and after their stay. Izzy sent updates and pictures which was appreciated while I was out of town for work. Thanks again Izzy!!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Angélica and her family took wonderful care of Jarvis. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, including his medication schedule. They sent lots of photos and made sure he was comfortable and happy. They even provided toys, a bed, and food and water bowls when I forgot to bring mine. Jarvis loved playing in their backyard. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“Shuvashna took great care of Yogi!! She is very trustworthy, reliable and flexible with our dog's needs. It's rare to find a dogsitter who genuinely cares, and Shuvashna showed us that and more. We feel lucky to have found her (recommended by a friend). She deserves 6 stars! Thank you Shuvashna! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.
“Lea is great! Vino immediately adapted to her home which is beautiful and totally setup toprovide a loving and safe environment for your fur baby, and you can tell her hubby is great with dogs too. I got lots of pics of my baby while I was away. She even got him to smile. Consequently I smile! Will def rebook!”
“Christina has been wonderful with my dog, Tummy. Sent couple of pictures to update me and my dog seemed comfortable. Easy to talk to and I’m definitely going to book them again.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute event I needed to attend so when I found Laura was local and had availability for a last minute boarding appointment I read the other reviews and decided to book with her. Nala was very well taken care of. Laura sent updates and photos throughout the day. My dog also takes heart medication so it was important to find someone that was comfortable with an older dog as well as one that has to take medication. If you are looking for someone you can trust and who will treat your fur baby like family I would highly recommend Laura.”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”

“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”
“I am beyond impressed with the care that my cat, cookie received from my cat sitter while I was away. It's evident that Supriya went above and beyond to ensure my cat was not only well-fed and safe but also showered with love and attention. The daily updates and photos provided me with great peace of mind. I'm incredibly grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend their services to any pet owner seeking top-notch care for their furry family members. Thank you so much!”
“Demi took EXCELLENT care of my kitty Brenna while I was out of town for a little less than a week. In addition to following all of my care requests, Demi went above and beyond even straightening my living room and kitchen while I was gone. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
“Kim was an excellent cat sitter providing comprehensive care and full narratives of her visits. We have multiple cats that are still integrating and required some extra efforts to keep separate - she handled the situation with poise and ease. She gave all cats a lot of love and TLC, and kept the litter areas clean. Kim was very sweet and provided exceptionally detailed descriptions and images of all cats - we could tell Kim was engaged and appreciating each cat's unique quirks. Highly recommend for a cat sitter.”
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
“Elena is very communicative and friendly. During her drop-in visit she spent time with our cats and took care of their food, water, and litter box needs. I really enjoyed all the pictures she sent me. We will definitely rebook with Elena again.”
“Dani is the best sitter a cat mom can ask for. She took amazing care of our two boy cats, letting the shy one get accustomed to her at his own pace and making sure the naughty one didn’t make our house too messy. Will definitely book again!”
“I recently used Rover while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care Denise provided for my cats. She visited every other day without fail and made sure they always had fresh food, clean water, and spotless litter boxes. My cats are known to be a little pee-pee–prone, and she handled every accident with so much patience and professionalism; truly above and beyond what I expected. What I appreciated most were the detailed updates and photos she sent through the app after each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind to see my cats relaxed, fed, and comfortable while I was away. Knowing they were in such capable and caring hands made my entire trip stress-free. Denise delivered exceptional service from start to finish, and I’m genuinely grateful for the care she showed my pets and my home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: 30 + years caring and training exotic and domestic animals in a professional setting. I am recently retired so I have flexibility in my day to visit your pets and take them for walks while you are busy at work. I understand the pressure of work life and trying to care for your pet. I will always have safety front of mind and never allow other dogs to interact with your dog unless they are showing good behavior. I can take care of cats, dogs , birds or other exotics. I will treat your pets as my own and give you the peace of mind of knowing your pets are well cared for. I am mostly available in the mornings and early afternoons but will work with each client depending on their needs. I do require a meet and greet before accepting new clients so please contact me to set that up so I can meet you and your pet. I am experienced in animal health care and can respond to any emergency that may come up while I am responsible for your pet. I will take photos when we are out and about and send them to you so you know I was with your pet.
“Gianina is amazing! Every time she watches my cat he is excited to see her and comes out to greet her. He never comes out for anyone but us, and now her. We are so relaxed now when we travel knowing he has her.”
“This was my first time with Shiji and he was absolutely amazing, following each and every instruction and checking in with me when my cats refused to eat, went above and beyond to take care of other things kike checking litter, changing water and even playing! I trust them with my cats and my cars trust them as well”
“Dean was available to watch my goldendoodle d’Auggie with very little notice. Both d’Auggie and I were very happy, d’Auggie especially so. Dean is not only extremely attentive and sensitive to d’Auggie’s needs, he’s also prompt, extremely neat and considerate. Dean’s been watching d’Auggie for years now, well before Dean joined Rover, and the trust that I have in him was earned through his attentiveness, dependability, precision, care, and obvious affection for d’Auggie and general love of animals. I’ve hired Dean in the past not only to walk d’Auggie and his brother, but he’s always the first person I turn to for boarding. Always 5 stars!”
“Rawnna is awesome! She took care of our three cats for two weeks, and they seem so happy and well-taken care of! She was totally understanding of my anxiety about having a new person in my house, and sent the best photos of them playing every day. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I use to work at a pet hotel, and loved ensuring that the pets got what they deserved, care and attention. Not every pets the same, I helped shy ones get a bit more comfortable in the chaos that is playing with other dogs. I’ve provided necessary meds and ensured pet environments stayed cleanly. If I’m not willing to play around it it’s not done. Have great experience with dogs and cats. I’m open mostly to Monday through Friday: 8am to 6PM. Can be flexible later as one offs, nights are extra. Unfortunately not offering weekends at this time. Providing companionship to your furbabys while you’re out. Giving them lots of cuddles, attention, feeding, and definitely a few walks depending on dog breed and mobility. Meds need to be discussed.
About: I've been caring for cats for over 8 years and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether your cat is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who requires extra attention, I provide patient, loving, and individualized care. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery after surgery, and following special care instructions to ensure your cat stays healthy and comfortable while you're away. My experience includes feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, enrichment activities, and providing companionship that helps cats feel safe and secure in their own environment. What sets me apart is the genuine love and dedication I have for cats. I understand that cats are more than just pets, they are family. My own cats are treated like my children, with endless love, attention, and care, and I bring that same level of commitment to every cat I look after. I take the time to learn each cat's unique personality, routines, and preferences so they can feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own cats.

“Cindy was such a great sitter. Winnie was super excited to meet her and seemed immediately comfortable. They had a day running around town and resting at the house. I’d definitely ask Cindy to watch Winnie again!”
About: I have been providing home-style dog boarding and pet care since 2017, with over 9 years of hands-on experience. I also worked for two years at a professional dog boarding and daycare facility in San Francisco and have experience in animal rescue. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, especially puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs with anxiety or special needs. What sets me apart is my small, home-based care approach. I only accept 1–2 dogs at a time, which allows me to provide full attention, a calm environment, and truly personalized care for each dog. I am patient and attentive, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s personality to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I stay at home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, so caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. I take dogs out for walks, feed them, and spend time with them every day. I only accept a small number of dogs so I can give each pet plenty of attention and care. Home-style care in Castro Valley. Only 1–2 dogs at a time, never more than a small pack — so every visitor gets personal attention and a calm, consistent routine. Quiet indoor spaces to nap, multiple walks outside each day, and free meet-and-greets before any stay. I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and more since 2018 and specialize in small and medium dogs under 45 lb.
“Our dogs loved being with Jenna. When we dropped them off, they ran to the door and scratched to get in. They have a safe yard and lots of comfy couches. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Yonkyu was great! My dog is a senior dog, gets a little nervous but I could tell she was in good hands. Received pictures that made me feel at ease. Easy to find, friendly and my dog was well cared for. Thank you!😊”
“Alex is delightful to work with. He always greets Winnie with a smile & has a positive attitude about her separation anxiety, which sets me at ease. He shares updates at pick up and sends a few photos during the day. I’m hoping to continue working with him!”
“Harper was amazing! She was very flexible when my schedule changed and I had to pick up Rusty a little later than planned. She also sent pictures and videos of him playing with his new buddies. She’s super sweet & I felt very comfortable having her watch Rusty! Highly recommend!”
“My dog liked Christina right away. I don’t know that was her aura or warmth.. Anyways I was at ease right away to leave my dog Lucky with her. Christina took a good care of her and held Lucky as her own. Also, I appreciated that she took a lot of pictures how Lucky was doing. I was happy to leave my dog at her care.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Angela yesterday who was incredibly kind, prompt, and kept us fully informed with updates through the day. Olive was fed exactly on time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. We highly recommend their services!”
“Natalia is a great care giver to my dog. She walked my dog for a long time which my dog loved and enjoyed accompanying to my dog. I’ll ask her again. I would appreciate more pics if I could ask. Overall, she is great.”

“Tatiana is a nice, sweet, and pleasant lady. She welcomed us even though I was late for a scheduled drop off time. She answered my questions right away and I understood how she spent her day with Tatiana’s care. She took my dog out to the park and walked her around the park. I know my dog enjoyed staying with her because she seemed tired when I picked her up and went to sleep right after we got home.”
“We (Soba included) love Shuvashna and can’t recommend her enough! Soba has a blast, is loved, fed and we get amazing photos and videos. We don’t feel as guilty taking trips because we know he has the best time at his home away from home :)”
“Our Rogan had the best time and made himself right at home from the pictures we were sent. The communication, pics and kindness were highly sweet and we look forward to Rogans vacation there while we are on our own.”

“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being.

Monty is always happy to see you and enjoys your visits.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.
About: I have over four years of experience caring for pets—from a small, nervous Chihuahua to a large, restless Husky. My greatest experience has been with my own pet, who has been sickly since birth and requires special care. She is currently in Mexico with her dad; I have missed her so much that I decided I could channel that feeling into helping and caring for other owners who—just like me—view their pets as part of their family. My main goal is for both parents and pets to feel calm, safe, and happy. I have a job in the afternoon-night and I think I have enough time to help you take care or walk of your pet Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home or during walks. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, leash requirements, and any special care needs. I double-check doors, gates, and secure all entry points before and after visits to ensure the pet is safe at all times. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and stay alert to surroundings to avoid any potential risks, such as other aggressive dogs or unsafe areas. I prefer walking in safe, familiar neighborhoods and avoid high-traffic or dangerous situations. I also monitor the pet’s behavior closely to make sure they are comfortable, calm, and not showing signs of stress. If anything unusual happens, I communicate immediately with the owner so they are always informed.
About: I have years of veterinary medicine experience and have unexpected free time to take good care of your cute family members. I am trained on various diseases and emergency situations. I am able to care for pets at their home. I will ensure they are fed on time and they get potty breaks as the owner requests. I have a beagle at home which I take good care of and have my family to help take care of her should I be hired to go to a client’s home to care for their pets.
About: I’ve spent 5 years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors.

About: I have two dogs and two cats. I’ve done dog walking since early middle school and pet sitting for two years. I love animals and have for a long time. I’ll bring treats and spoil your furry friends! Walks, cuddles and playtime are my specialty! I just finished my semester of school and am pretty free for the summer! I love excuses to go out of the house and go on walk adventures with dogs or cuddles with your cat (or walk them if they like walks too!) For walks I like to double leash just for added security and safety with dogs. I can swing by during set times you want me to be there, give food and play or go on walks. If you want me to house and pet sit I will bring my own stuff to keep myself entertained and maybe a few treats to share with your furry friends.
About: I have worked in a dog boarding facility, always taking care to clients both humans and pets including love and care of all. Feeding, bathing, love and tender care are just some of the things I have done here as well as care for elderly, pups, and disabled dogs. I am pretty open and available throughout the week and weekends. I do have my own cat so I need to make sure I tend to them some time in the day. Safety, care, and love as well always on alert for danger or potential threats. I am always putting my all in and love building rapport and relations with my clients for best outcome and safety.

I have cats of my own and don’t want them to be stressed.
About: I am a true animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for pets and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I have meaningful hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, Antares (3) and Draco (7), back in Peru. They were an important part of my daily life, and through them I learned the value of consistency, patience, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with dogs of different ages and temperaments, and I always focus on creating a calm, loving, and structured environment. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to routines, or giving them extra attention and affection, I make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I recently moved to the U.S. and am excited to begin my journey on Rover. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and truly committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I will always do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s specific routine, whether that includes regular walks, feeding schedules, or just companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while they are in my care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like a task—it’s a part of my day that I truly look forward to. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, and get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime. I also give them lots of attention and affection, while respecting their personality and boundaries. In a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and keep everything clean and organized. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they are away. My priority is always the pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“5/5 🌟 Olivia was friendly and flexible from the beginning of our encounter. They took great care of our 65 lbs goldendoodle and sent us daily updates. We are so happy we’ve found a reliable dog boarder so close to home.”
“Cindy was terrific to work with. We had a complicated situation involving a dog, a heart patient and a family member 1/2 a continent away. Cindy was wonderfully flexible in helping us by taking care of our dog without knowing how long her help would be needed. Daily pictures reassured us that at least one member of our family was in great shape. Thanks Cindy - we'll be back.”
“I really appreciate Natallia watching ALL 4 of my cats. She did a fantastic job. They were spoiled and they did not want to leave her home. Natallia provided me pictures and updates of my fur babies. I had peace of mind while they were under her care. I highly recommend her.”
“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.
“Rober's calm demeanor and patience, with both us and our energetic adolescent Rottweiler are highly appreciated! He's got a space well built to accommodate several dogs and still allow safety for those needing separation. We trust him and will continue to favor him as our furboy's caregiver when we're away!”
“Sameer, Reyna, and their kids are pretty much Helo's second family! By now, he knows the drill. This recent visit we dropped him off and Helo just walked casually into their house, laid down and had a face like "I'm in good hands, you can go now." We always feel at ease when we drop off our pup because we know he is very well taken care of. Helo comes home happy, well-played, and always excited to come back next time. I try to book well in advance because Sameer and his family get booked up so fast since everyone knows they are amazing dog lovers and care takers! Sameer and Reyna, we will forever stay and be your repeat customers!”
“Although I boarded my pup for a short trip, Socorro took amazing care of him. Communication was great, I received multiple photos of my goofball, and I can tell he was really happy to be there. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you so much for watching JJ!”
“Estephanie and her family were incredible and took very good care of Rio. We received great updates and photos of all the doggos everyday. Thank you so much Estephanie! Rio would love to be back with you and your lovely doggos 😊”
“Minfang is very nice and accommodating. I was super anxious at first since it would be the first time my dog is gonna be staying with a someone who’s not a family member. But Minfang’s aura made me confident that my boy is gonna be fine. She sent me a lot of pictures and when I picked him up, he was a happy boy. I’d get her again for sure.”
“Paco stayed with Dean while I was out of town for the night and I could not have asked for a better person for my baby to be with. Dean was professional, warm, detailed and easy going starting with when I inquired about his availability all the way though the night Paco was in his care! Dean eased my concerns about my pup’s separation anxiety and sent me pictures and updates about him during his stay. It was clear how comfortable my dog was with him. Dean is a gem. This was the first time I’ve had anyone other than my family watch Paco and Dean is now part of that short list! Thank you!”
“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”
“Sultan seems visibly upset when I pick him up, indicating the amount of fun he has 😁. Jokes aside, we feel so relieved that we have Ashu to take care of Sultan.”
“Patches and Azula have a great time with Ching and her family. Ching is in constant communication and sends many videos and pictures. She takes care of our pups like her own! Definitely recommended! Hope she will have Patches and Azula in the future.”
“I had such a great experience boarding my dog, Skye, over Thanksgiving week. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Skye immediately felt comfortable, and I could tell he was in good hands the entire time. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it was clear that Skye was treated like part of the family. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarding. I’ll definitely book again in the future!”
“I’m very attached to my dog so I’m always nervous having her stay with other people. We just moved to the area and I am so glad I found Angela and Josh! I can tell they really care about all the dogs since the first interaction with them. They are very professional and detail oriented in my dog’s care. Hazel told me she had so much fun at their house and can’t wait to go back! I also LOVE the pictures and videos. Makes me feel at ease when she’s away from me.”
“This is the first time I left my little pupper - Phoebe, with Jackie and Jannalea, for 5 days. They have been excellent from the start of our conversation- they proposed a meet and greet, which I always prefer, and then told me in details about their boarding experience. They asked every detail about Phoebe so as to help make her stay experience excellent. Phoebe can be skittish of meeting new humans, but Jackie knew very well how to comfort her. During the stay when I left my dog, she was of course upset to see me leave, but in no time she made their home her own, because Jackie and Jannalea treated her like their very own pet, of course. She slept on the bed with them, got lots of cuddles, play, and had other dog to give her company as well - Phoebe loves every dog she meets, so that is definitely a plus for me. Jannalea and Jackie kept me posted about Phoebe on daily basis with photos and updates, which really comforted me. Phoebe looked visibly happy and relaxed in every pic. In fact when my husband went to pick her up, it seems Phoebe was upset to be leaving Jackie and Jannalea’s place. I’m so very happy with the mother daughter duo, and can say with full confidence… we are gonna be your repeat clients. Thank you for showering my pupper with so much love and care ❤️”
