“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”

“Carla was very flexible to a last minute cancelation we had from another Rover boarder. She was not only highly communicative with pictures but also was so accommodating to special requests. We will be using her in the future.”

“Mila provided excellent care of our little princess. From the initial meeting to the completion of our pets stay we were at ease and knew our pet was in qualified caring hands. Thank you Mila we will definitely be contacting you in the future!”


“Felice and her family took great care of Ollie and she kept me posted every day with photos and comments of how he was doing. I felt that he was being treated like a member of the family and he was very happy (and tired!) when we brought him home. Ollie looks forward to his next visit. Thank you, Felice!”

“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”


“Jim and Mary took excellent care of Milo as usual! He’s a very anxious dog but does very well in their care! They sent lots of pictures so I could see how he was doing. I didn’t worry about him at all while I was away!”

“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”

“Sammy had such a great stay with Jena at The Doggy Den 🐾 She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and he clearly had the best time playing his heart out lol. Communication was always prompt and professional, and I really appreciated her letting me know whenever she had to step out briefly. The space is calm and beautiful with a huge fenced-in backyard, and she even kept Sammy in his familiar sleeping setup. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care—we’ll definitely be booking again soon 💛”

“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”

“Our experience was great. Blue was very comfortable, this was his 1st time being with a sitter and I would leave him with Erika again. I was probably more anxious than he was but Erika sent me pics to reassure me that he was settling in nicely.”

“We could not have asked for better sitters than Brittanie, Ryan and their family! They cared for Sarge like he has been a part of their family for years. We received lots of photos of Sarge while we were away and it was obvious that he was having a great time! We will certainly be reaching using Brittanie and Ryan again to care for Sarge while we are away!”

“Steven was an incredible host for our retired greyhound! He is incredibly communicative, thorough, and clearly cares deeply for his canine guests. He creates the perfect environment for a dog that prefers some peace mad quiet.”

“After multiple sitters canceling, I found Rover and Danielle, who was happy to watch Remi at the last minute. The universe knew what it was doing, as Danielle and Remi bonded the moment they met. As he spent the majority of his life as a puppy mill papa, Remi can be challenging. As a teacher and a mom, Danielle had the skills and patience to work with him. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and it was easy to see the Remi was happy and content. I’m fairly certain Remi didn’t want to come home !! We couldn’t be happier to have found someone to care for our dog like one of her own! Next time we need somebody to care for our pup, she will absolutely be our first call!”

“Ariel is an extremely dedicated and kind dog sitter. When our pup was homesick and struggling, she did everything in her power to provide love and security for our dog. She took the dog on long walks to get out the energy and even went out of her way to purchase bones from Petco for our dog to chew on. We are so appreciative.”

“I've got two special needs dogs, both with vision problems, and one with epilepsy. Andrew took wonderful care of the dogs, was very communicative and sent pictures and videos where they looked happy every time. Can't recommend him enough.”

“Lonnie was fantastic with our dog and very accommodating. He has a great yard for dogs to run and play with them and you can certainly help loves having them around. 10/10 would recommend and use again.”

“Casie was the absolute best! I used her twice and both times I was extremely happy. Luna is very scary and doesn’t always open up to everyone. She welcomed Casie right away and even took pictures w her. I loved all my updates and my pics she looked so cute in them. Casie even brought in my trash can for me which she didnt have to. She’s the absolute best and I will definitely use her again!!”

“Excellent communication. Warm personality. Clear affection for the four legged folks. Emma attended to my two feline housemates with home visits over an approximate two week period. From the observations in the reports, she clearly took time to get to know what are two different personalities, one rather forward and affectionate, the other much more reserved but ultimately also affectionate. She correctly described certain of the behaviors and personality quirks of both. I am confident that the fundamentals of feeding and litter clearing were attended to as well. Nala, Abe, and I recommend Emma without reservation.”

“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”

“Love Rodney & Marissa, professional, provided clear instructions and they obviously love, love, love animals. My dog Bailey warmed up quickly and in every picture she was in full sprint, running leash free as she loves. She enjoyed the other dog’s company as well. Rodney & Marissa kept in communication with Bailey’s hovering Mom and Auntie. So happy and pleased with the service provided. 🥰🥰🥰”


“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”

“Although it didn't work out with my situation for recurring daycare, I felt my dog was cared for very well. Jasmin was very attentive and shared lots of photos throughout the day. Thanks Jasmin.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”

Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”

“Theresa is exceptional! We were a bit nervous to leave our boy, Otto, for the first time. Daily check ins from Theresa put us at ease. It was clear from the pictures that he was as comfy and happy as can be in Theresa’s home. We will definitely be reaching out to Theresa next time we have to leave our boy in good hands.”

“Cheryl was amazing! We constantly received pictures and videos of our fur baby and never had to wonder how he was doing. She was also very accommodating of us when we were late to pickup due to our flight being late. Highly recommend!”

“Josephine is such a great pet sitter. She sends updates with photos and videos and she made sure Oreo was comfy and happy! Oreo enjoyed his overnight stay! I highly recommend Josephine if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”

“We have two English Mastiffs and this was our first experience with Boarding. Our girls have always been watched at home and they’re a big pair of ladies to accommodate, so we were a bit apprehensive. At our meet and greet Heather was fantastic. Her experience shined through; she was easygoing and patiently answered all of our questions. We decided to have a “dress rehearsal” overnight and it was a hit! The girls had a great time, we received loads of pictures and updates and when I arrived for pickup our girls were both relaxing in the den. If our girls were at ease then we’re at ease. We highly recommend Heather.”

“Virginia and Steven were great with Bonnie. They were very understanding and patient when my travel plans slightly changed and I needed to change my pick up time. We had a small issue with Bonnie’s food, and they went out and found a replacement for her!”
