“Crystal took great care of Bailey during an extended trip. Bailey is a senior pup and has special needs. Crystal handled her meds and was flexible with her rhythms. Crystal was very responsive to Bailey’s needs and very communicative with us which helped us to have peace of mind on our trip.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. My dog received truly exceptional, thoughtful care from start to finish. It was clear she was treated with genuine love and attention, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the frequent updates—photos, videos, and little notes throughout the day that showed exactly how happy, relaxed, and well‑cared‑for she was. Those check‑ins meant the world to me and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and reassuring. My dog came home calm, content, and clearly adored. I’m so grateful for the level of care and communication provided. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, this is the sitter you want. Truly outstanding.”
“Kirsten was very knowledgeable and experienced with dog sitting and provided wonderful daily feedback. It put us at ease with her extended stay knowing that she was well taken care of. We would definitely use Kirsten again. Lulu had a great time!”
“It was stressful leaving our nearly 1 year old dog for the first time, but he seemed so comfortable and had so much fun staying with Zainab! She was very responsive and sent daily updates with pictures. I know Mason would love to stay with her again sometime!”
“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”
“Anna and Rob did the best job taking care of our pups sending daily pictures/updates and making sure they were well taken care of and loved while we traveled. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip!”
About: I provide dedicated, loving care that treats your pup like family, ensuring they feel completely safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you are away. I have years of personal and professional experience caring for various breeds and sizes. Comfortable administering oral medications and managing specific dietary requirements. I work from home with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet is rarely left alone. Our day starts with a morning potty break and breakfast, followed by an active walk or backyard playtime. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will enjoy constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and immediate attention throughout the day. Evenings include dinner, a relaxing wind-down walk, and plenty of couch cuddles before bed. I live in a safe, pet-friendly home featuring a secure, fully fenced yard. Your dog will have total freedom to run, fetch, and sunbathe safely outside, or relax right next to my desk while I work.
“Lenibel was awesome with our dog! The meet and greet went fabulous and the stay was above and beyond! Communication was on point with all that was going on along with pictures and video. I would not hesitate to use Lenibel again! We are happy customers!!”
“Quinn had a fantastic time staying with JB and his family!! JB was caring and attentive to Quinn, and put all of our fears to rest with his calm and friendly manner. We received helpful updates and pictures several times during the day, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommend this sitter!! We will be back!! THANK YOU JB and Summer!!”
“Daisy had an amazing stay at Daria’s - she was right at home there! We’re so grateful for the attention and care Daria provided Daisy. I’m pretty sure Daisy misses her already.”
“Wow Greg and Julie are amazing! I always got updates and they know so many training tricks from their background with dogs! 12/10 recommend! Plus my dog got to play with his first cat! Book them now!”
“Polina was lovely and took such great care of my pup. Long walks, great playtime, truly - she was in such wonderful hands that I almost felt guilty taking my dog home. Five stars!”
“Margaret and Tommy were very attentive and loving towards our puppy, Scarlett. Communication was excellent and we will continue to have them watch Scarlett when we are out of town. I highly recommend them.”
“We boarded with Sarah and Caleb recently and I can honestly say we had a 10/10 experience. They were both so knowledgeable and kind and made Nala feel at home. The property is beautiful and has fenced in areas throughout, we would definitely recommend them for all of your pet boarding needs.”
“Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!”
“A happy return customer here. Mocha has been an extended family member of Jill and Bill and a good friend of Apollo. She enjoys hanging out with Bill in the study room and helps Jill attend to house chores. Bill even brought a Xmas gift for mocha - how sweet! I am glad to find Mocha a broading home where she felt so comfortable and happy.”
“Qian was so great with our puppy girl Athena that we decided to rebook with her. She is so great with her communication and she is so nice. We were able to go on a second trip and Qian was great with Athena and our new puppy Apollo. She was so great with both of them. She sent us pictures throughout their stay and communicated so well with us. We really enjoyed and appreciated her throughout both experiences! With Qian we know our puppies are in great hands and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Sloane was super responsive to my messages both before and during Oliver’s stay. She sent lots of feedback and photos and just made our little guy feel at home. He was reluctant to stay initially but immediately got comfortable after she showed him the toy box. She even supplied a potty pad in her bathroom so he could get up during the night like he does at home. She spent lots of time taking home outside for potty breaks and even a sunrise walk. We would happily have Oliver stay with Sloane again.”

“Cristina cares for our cats as if they were her own! She helped us out in a bind. She communicated her availability in thoughtful detail and went the extra mile to strategize with us on how she could best care for our cats during peak drop-in hours. Cristina has quickly built relationships with our shy cat and our energetic cat alike! She has our highest recommendation.”

We highly recommend her and will definitely continue booking with her in the future!”

“Took care of our pup last minute when our other daycare plans fell through, and I’m glad it did because we would use them again in a heartbeat. Took care of our pup like their own and have a great environment for any pup!”
About: I provide dedicated, loving care that treats your pup like family, ensuring they feel completely safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you are away. I have years of personal and professional experience caring for various breeds and sizes. Comfortable administering oral medications and managing specific dietary requirements.

“Prada had a great time with Javarris and his family while I was away at the beach . Photos were sent while I was gone and she crashed and slept the moment I got her home. Will definitely be using again!”
“Cheyenne had a great first time staying with Alison and Tim. I got lots of pictures showing how much fun Cheyenne was having. I could tell that Cheyenne was treated like part of the family. We will be back again soon!”
“Zainab took good care of my anxious shiba for the day, and I picked up a happy doggy. She was gracious to book on short notice for the day before holiday. I appreciated the pictures she sent. Will book with her again!”
“What a great experience with Martine and her husband. They obviously made Bryce feel welcomed in their home … as by the second day he went straight to her front door and didn’t look back while I was leaving. Also want to “shout out” her willingness to be a bit flexible with the schedule … (I was meeting a friend locally and wanted to be able to enjoy Raleigh for dinner (which was awesome at The Plate). This pet sitting experience enhanced my visit to Raleigh !!!”
“Anitra was so supportive in taking my pup for an early drop off, it was great to see Sydney at the dog park right next to her home while I was studying for a big exam. Highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, attention, and consistency I provide. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for at one time, allowing for individualized attention, a calm environment, and plenty of affection. In our home, dogs are surrounded by love — including from my daughter, who genuinely enjoys helping care for them and gives them extra cuddles, playtime, and attention. With regular updates, clear communication, and genuine care, every dog is treated like family — never just another booking. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship—rather than leaving dogs alone for long stretches. I also have a small Yorkie at home, which helps keep our daily schedule consistent and structured, from regular potty breaks to walk times and meals. We’re lucky to have a nearby dog park that we walk to daily, giving dogs regular exercise, fresh air, and social enrichment as part of their routine. This established rhythm creates a calm, predictable environment where dogs can settle in quickly, while I remain available to supervise, respond to needs, and provide plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to minimize stress, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and preferred play or rest times. I treat each home with respect and provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so pet parents have peace of mind. In both settings, pets are cared for with patience, affection, and individualized attention—never rushed and never treated like just another booking.
“Very easy to work with, sent lots of photos, and took our dog all over for the day so she was very entertained and tuckered out when we picked her back up! We would definitely use them to watch our girl again!”
“Qian is great! She showed lots of love and care to my dog, sending many text updates, photos and videos. Toys, multiple trips to the dog park, and cuddle time on the sofa. My dog truly had an amazing time. I highly recommend Qian and will be surely be rebooking.”
About: If your pet could swipe right on a sitter, I’m pretty sure they’d pick me. I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 12, and honestly, it feels like I’ve had a leash or treat pouch in my hand ever since. From childhood pets to neighbors’ pups to friends’ cats who “don’t like anyone” (but somehow curl up in my lap), animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m new to Rover but not to caring for others pets. Why choose me? *A lifetime of experience: Growing up with pets taught me patience, intuition, and how to read an animal’s needs long before they can tell you. *Calm, confident care: Whether your pet is shy, energetic, quirky, or a total diva, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and understood. *Reliable and communicative: You’ll get updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and cared for. *Genuine love for animals: This isn’t a side gig for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. Your pet becomes “my” pet while you’re away. I currently volunteer with American Brittany Rescue and the AKC. I have volunteered with the Wake County Animal Shelter in years past. I have also owned and volunteered with 2 certified therapy dogs. We visited hospitals, nursing homes and schools. Our current dog is not a good candidate for therapy dog work, but we hope to participate with Therapy Dogs Inc. again in the future. Our dog and cat are both up to date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. If you want someone who treats your fur baby like their own and brings warmth, fun, and dependability to every visit, I’m your gal. Let’s make your pet’s day a great one. I request that dogs staying with us be up to date on vaccines and on flea and tick preventative. I currently work part-time from home and my hours are somewhat flexible. If your pet is in my home, I can take breaks as needed for feeding, potty breaks, and pats. Mon-Fri from 12-4 pm is less flexible for me if I am coming to your home to do a walk or potty break, as those are my busiest work hours. I will follow your provided schedule to a T, taking into account your specific routines, wishes, and needs. I understand it can be stressful for pets when their families leave, and I will do everything possible to ease that stress and make sure your pets are happy and relaxed. I am always super careful about closing doors, latching gates, and making sure everything is in order before leaving each home. Your pet's safety and well being is my number one priority. I have a very friendly dog that can accompany me on visits and walks if your dog would like companionship.
About: We’re an active, dog-loving couple who miss having a furry friend around - so we put all that energy into the pups we host. We raised a golden retriever for over 12 years, through eight different homes, which taught us how to stay flexible and make any space feel like home for a dog. We’ve also cared for the fur-babies of our friends and family over the years, so medium and large breeds are totally our comfort zone. Carleigh works from home every day, and John is home four days a week, meaning your dog gets tons of attention, playtime, and company. We’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, but we love having short-term four-legged guests to spoil. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because one of us is almost always home, so your dog will get tons of attention, supervision, and company throughout each day. We love taking breaks to go on walks, play outside, or just hang out with a furry friend while we work. Since we’re already active and outside often, adding a dog to our routine is fun and effortless. We treat every dog like a temporary member of the family. Our home is clean, calm, and set up to be dog-friendly, especially for medium and large breeds. We pay close attention to routines, instructions, and any quirks or preferences your dog has. We’re big on communication - you’ll get updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s play time, relaxing, or sticking to their normal schedule, we make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for from the moment they arrive.
“Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.”
“Paris was very easy to communicate with and was able to accommodate my last-minute extended hours daycare request for my dog Millie. Millie seemed well cared for and happy when I picked her up at the end of the day.”
“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
About: Hey there! We are Jesse and Diana and we live in the heart of Cary with our teenage daughter, 9 year old black lab mix Delta, 5 year old whippet Skadi, and 4 year old chihuahua Pepita. We also have two cats, Steve and Max who are 12 and 8 and are great with all dogs. Sometimes I think Max is more of a dog than a cat! Our dogs are good girls (spayed) and absolutely love to play! We have about a half acre fenced back yard that they can run freely in to get out all their zoomies. Both of our dogs are fully vaccinated and on flea & tick medication. We have had dogs all our lives and they have always been an important part of our family. We have experience with training certified therapy dogs as well. Our golden retriever, Molly was actively involved in working with Alzheimer's and dementia patients as a certified therapy dog. She passed away last year at 14 years old. She was a good girl. We understand all dogs have different needs and we will be extremely accommodating. Additionally, we work from home so your dog would never have to be alone. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions! We work from home, which gives us the time to be here for your pup! We also try to be very flexible with pickup and dropoff times to make it as convenient as possible. We have a completely fenced backyard (approx. 1/2 acre), which gives the dogs the space to run, play, and to just burn energy in a safe environment! They are never alone and always supervised when playing in the backyard.

“Sarahbelle was responsive and helpful during our initial engagement. Unfortunately, our plans changed at the last minute so I did not get to meet her but I will absolutely seek her out in the future if she’ll have us!”
“We’ve only had a couple of walks so far with Rosemary, and I’m already very impressed. Our beagle, Abbe, absolutely adores her! As soon as Rosemary pulls into the driveway, Abbe starts crying and wagging with excitement — she can’t wait to get out the door and run to her. I’ve watched them walk by the lake from my back deck, and Rosemary is wonderful with her. She’s patient and kind, but also firm when she needs to be — not a pushover, which I really appreciate. She communicates well, is always pleasant to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and skilled dog walker. — Jeff Basham”
About: Growing up with big dogs has taught me so much about responsibility and patience. I have been raised around a Rottweilers, Golden Retrieve and a Weimaraner, and people often say I'm really good with dogs because of it. I work in hospitality, where my schedule can vary from week to week. Even with the different hours, I’m super flexible and can handle any tasks that come my way. I ensure that I will do anything in power that I keep your furry friends safe. I also make sure doggies are well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention, regular exercise, and a comfortable, loving space.
“Rachel did a great job with Cookie. They bonded immediately. I received reports and pictures for each visit which was comforting. Rachel even added one more visit for me at the last minute. Definitely recommend her!”
“Sriya is so patient with Barney's "quirks". She not afraid to step in for him to get to know her and is firm when she needs to be. So thankful to find a walker/pet sitter willing to work slow in gaining his trust!”
“Kaylee was an excellent dog walker for our beloved senior dog. Kaylee always provided a nice note and picture of our dog after each walk to include letting us know if there were any health concerns during the walk. She was always responsive to messages and pleasant to speak with. We are very grateful to have had Kaylee as a dog walker and our only regret is that we didn't reach out to her sooner.”
“David took incredible care of our dog, Max, while giving him daily walks while we were on vacation. We will definitely hire him again the next time we go on holiday. Super nice, responsible caretaker who clearly loves dogs and made sure Max and we felt completely comfortable.”
“Kelsey has been walking my dog Lobo for a few weeks now. She's always on time and let's me know we'll in advance if something comes up. I look forward to receiving her detailed reports everyday. She also takes lots of great pictures.”
“Lori went above and beyond our expectations! I’m so grateful we found her and already have her booked for dog walking the next two weeks. She was highly communicative, sent many photos, and took great care of our dog who can be quite vocal but she seemed to handle the barking just fine :) my dog clearly adores her!”
About: I have grown up with big dogs in the house with all sorts of personalities! When I was 12, my family got a Sheepadoodle and trained her to be a therapy dog for our local community. I have range of experience from walking and running high energy dogs to hanging out with the low energy dogs on the couch! I am an Indiana University graduate and looking to take care of animals while growing my entrepreneurial skills. I just moved to Durham and I’m excited to explore more of the town! My schedule is flexible and I am willing to respond to your requests! I talk to and hang out with my family and friend’s pets like they are my own children! I believe that pet’s boundaries are just as important as ours and I will match the energy of your furry friend! Also, at every visit, I make sure to clean and organize the house better than I found it.
“Debora did an amazing job caring for our 3 year old golden retriever willow during her walks! She used great judgement and always made sure she had access to fresh water. She helped with keeping our home clean and treated our space with great respect. She was communicative and flexible, and we would love to work with her again!”
About: Over 20 years of experience of dog walking pet sitting - from puppies to older pups. Currently working towards certification to become a veterinary assistant :) I'm a teacher so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and walk your pets during the late afternoon and early evenings. During the school year I'm often available on Weekends and holidays. I am currently not hosting pets in my home as I have a grumpy senior dog prone to seizures if overly excited. At your home, I will follow any rules or boundaries that you set in place :)
About: I have spent al my childhood and teenage years at my grandparents farm house full of chickens, pigs, cows, geese, cats and dogs helping my grandparents. College, a baby and an apartment we lived in for several years did not allow me to have an opportunity to be a pet owner as well as a pet sitter, however, now as I own a house near a park and have flexibility working online, I am happy to help families who need to travel, spend a few days out of the house or need just a few quiet hours and space with watching their pets. I have my whole heart, time and space to make sure your pets are safe and happy while you are away. Lots of walks and balls throws are guaranteed. I am very good with those dogs who are picky with food and find my ways to finally encourage them to eat as well as provide those who are too much food motivated with a good exercise before they receive a treat. I live very close to the airport which makes a drop off and pick up very convenient. I am working online with totally flexible hours. Can walk with your pet as much as needed as well as spend an evening outside as we take our evening walk out in a greenway. I can also help to pick up your furry friend from home and drop them back if needed. I have a house with a fenced back deck and will follow instructions you would provide me with to make sure your pet receives all time and attention he needs. I’ll enjoy playing and running and as much hugs as your pet will allow me to do
“Kelly is a Godsend! She filled in during a bit of an emergency since I was in the hospital. She couldn't even meet me at first so I worked it out to meet with a current walker. She was immediately taken with Amilyn and Amilyn was as taken with her. You can tell in I'm mo all the pics”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around animals and truly believe they are family, not just pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and at different stages of life, including my senior dog Jacob (11). Having an older dog has taught me to be patient, notice the little things, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for as they get older. I’ve also worked with my dog Atlas, who has had some behavioral challenges. Helping him over the years has taught me that every animal is different and that trust, consistency, and patience go a long way. I enjoy taking the time to understand each pet and what helps them feel safe and happy. Since I have a multi-pet household with dogs, cats, and birds, I’m comfortable with different routines and different types of care. I know every pet has their own personality, habits, and needs. The biggest thing that sets me apart is that I truly care about the animals I look after. I don’t just show up to feed them—I want to build a connection with them, make them feel comfortable, and give them the same care and love I would want someone to give my own pets. Pet care is a part of my everyday routine. Every day, I feed my three dogs, two cats, and two parakeets, make sure they always have fresh water, and spend time playing with and caring for them. My dogs get regular walks and outdoor time, and I love taking them on hikes whenever I can. My cats get plenty of attention, playtime, and enrichment, and I make sure their litter boxes stay clean. I also care for my parakeets by cleaning their cage, refreshing their food and water, and giving them time to interact and explore. Because caring for animals is already part of my daily life, adding your pet to my routine feels. I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own pets. I care for every pet like they are my own because I truly believe pets are family. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love taking the time to understand what makes each one feel safe and happy. At home, I care for my three dogs, Jacob (11), Luna (7), and Atlas (8), my two cats, Stinky (5) and Kiwi (6), and my two parakeets, Suki and Dewy. My dogs get lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures like walks and hikes. Luna has had some behavioral challenges, which has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding that every animal learns and grows at their own pace. Seeing how much she has improved over the years has shown me how important love and patience are when caring for pets. My cats, Stinky and Kiwi, have completely different personalities, and that’s one of the things I love most about cats. I enjoy playing with them, keeping them entertained, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they have a comfortable and happy environment. I also have experience caring for my parakeets, Suki and Dewy. I’m comfortable with feeding them, cleaning their cage, changing their water, and making sure they get attention and enrichment. While I haven’t owned larger birds, I’m always willing to learn and make sure I understand each pet’s needs. When caring for your pets in your home, I’ll respect their routine and follow your instructions closely. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets because I know how much they mean to your family.
“Eliza has been an amazing dog walker for us! Our silly dog, who is sometimes shy around new people, absolutely loves her. Eliza always sends cute photos of their walks, and detailed updates about their time together. We really appreciate her and highly recommend her!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. My dog received truly exceptional, thoughtful care from start to finish. It was clear she was treated with genuine love and attention, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the frequent updates—photos, videos, and little notes throughout the day that showed exactly how happy, relaxed, and well‑cared‑for she was. Those check‑ins meant the world to me and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and reassuring. My dog came home calm, content, and clearly adored. I’m so grateful for the level of care and communication provided. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, this is the sitter you want. Truly outstanding.”
“It was stressful leaving our nearly 1 year old dog for the first time, but he seemed so comfortable and had so much fun staying with Zainab! She was very responsive and sent daily updates with pictures. I know Mason would love to stay with her again sometime!”
“Emily and Will are the world’s greatest pet sitters. I am very new to being a dog mom. They helped to ease my anxiety by having a pet met and greet, during my 5 day trip, they sent me pictures of my doggy, and my dog had a great visit all because of Emily and Will. I am so grateful for their compassion, patience, and empathetic pet sitters. I will use Emily and Will for future petsitting needs. You will be pleased with their services!!”
“Anna and Rob did the best job taking care of our pups sending daily pictures/updates and making sure they were well taken care of and loved while we traveled. We will definitely be using them again for our next trip!”
About: I provide dedicated, loving care that treats your pup like family, ensuring they feel completely safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you are away. I have years of personal and professional experience caring for various breeds and sizes. Comfortable administering oral medications and managing specific dietary requirements. I work from home with a flexible schedule, meaning your pet is rarely left alone. Our day starts with a morning potty break and breakfast, followed by an active walk or backyard playtime. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will enjoy constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and immediate attention throughout the day. Evenings include dinner, a relaxing wind-down walk, and plenty of couch cuddles before bed. I live in a safe, pet-friendly home featuring a secure, fully fenced yard. Your dog will have total freedom to run, fetch, and sunbathe safely outside, or relax right next to my desk while I work.
“Quinn had a fantastic time staying with JB and his family!! JB was caring and attentive to Quinn, and put all of our fears to rest with his calm and friendly manner. We received helpful updates and pictures several times during the day, which we truly appreciated. Highly recommend this sitter!! We will be back!! THANK YOU JB and Summer!!”
“Daisy had an amazing stay at Daria’s - she was right at home there! We’re so grateful for the attention and care Daria provided Daisy. I’m pretty sure Daisy misses her already.”
“Wow Greg and Julie are amazing! I always got updates and they know so many training tricks from their background with dogs! 12/10 recommend! Plus my dog got to play with his first cat! Book them now!”
“Polina was lovely and took such great care of my pup. Long walks, great playtime, truly - she was in such wonderful hands that I almost felt guilty taking my dog home. Five stars!”
“Margaret and Tommy were very attentive and loving towards our puppy, Scarlett. Communication was excellent and we will continue to have them watch Scarlett when we are out of town. I highly recommend them.”
“We boarded with Sarah and Caleb recently and I can honestly say we had a 10/10 experience. They were both so knowledgeable and kind and made Nala feel at home. The property is beautiful and has fenced in areas throughout, we would definitely recommend them for all of your pet boarding needs.”
“A happy return customer here. Mocha has been an extended family member of Jill and Bill and a good friend of Apollo. She enjoys hanging out with Bill in the study room and helps Jill attend to house chores. Bill even brought a Xmas gift for mocha - how sweet! I am glad to find Mocha a broading home where she felt so comfortable and happy.”
“Kimberly did an excellent job! She was a good communicator, drop off and pick up went very smoothly and the updates she provided while I was away were much appreciated! Thank you for taking great care of my pup over the holidays.”
“Adrienne and her family took great care of our Schnauzer while we were on vacation. They treated her like one of the family and she received lots of cuddles and play time. We did a meet & greet and drop-off/pick-up was really convenient. She sent us updates & pictures which my kids loved to see while we were away. We had a great experience and feel that our pup really enjoyed herself.”
“Paul was excellent in communicating during my dog’s stay with him. I appreciated the video and picture updates throughout the stay. My dog had a great time and easily warmed up to Paul. He really enjoyed being outside in the yard. I would recommend Paul to others anytime and would choose to use him again in the future.”
“Sarah was terrific. Very responsive to us and caring and attentive to our sweet dog. This was our first experience with Rover and it was a very positive one. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Evelyn is wonderful. When I drop Harper off and pick her up you can tell that she is being cared for with so much love. They go on activities together and I get daily updates. To me it looks like Harper gets very well integrated into Evelyn’s family and I am so grateful. We will 100% be booking again. Evelyn is our go to!”
“This was our second time using Mani for boarding, and our pup was absolutely thrilled to see her again — he got so excited when he saw her! It’s clear he had a great time during his last stay. He seems to really enjoy playing with the other dogs there, too. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog again. We really appreciate it!”
