“Highly recommend! I made a last minute booking that Kaylee and Nick accommodated. Very polite and sent me daily updates. Skaar was wiped out for 2 days after his visit! Will definitely book again. Thank you both!”
“Jenny and Remy were the best! They took such good care of Clyde & Franny! They got to play & got tons of snuggles. We got phots and videos (made this fur mamas heart so happy)!”
“Thank you for accommodating us on short notice for a family funeral trip. Our dog was well loved and cared for in our absence. We can tell he had lots of fun too! We will reach out next time we need care for our four legged buddy.”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter for Cooper! Rachel was very responsive and sent a couple pictures a day. She let me know right away that he had settled in so I didn't worry. Walks, exercise, games--she did all the things he loves! Worked with us schedule-wise for drop off/pick up. I hope she will be available next time he needs a place.”
“Shaun and Katie were great with Reesie. I received pictures throughout the visit showing how happy and well cared for she was. Will absolutely be using them again! Great Rover find!”
“I really appreciate the attention Chester got from Angie, and her dogs are sweethearts that Chester got along with just fine. I appreciate the photos sent too. Angie clearly loves animals, and made Chester feel very welcome in her home.”
“Eric watched my dog Tom over Christmas and New Years and did a great job! He updated me and sent me pics during the entire stay. He is very reliable and trustworthy. His dog also gets along well with other dogs and was a perfect playmate for Tom. I recommend his services to everyone and will be using him again.”
“Kaylene was a wonderful host & made my dog feel right at home. She was very accommodating & kept an open line of communication the entire time, it was a great peace of mind. We plan on using her again for many more future boarding needs”
“Chelsey took great care of Annie and provided great exercise opportunities for her. She also sent updates and pictures while Annie stayed with her. I would recommend Chelsey to others and wouldn’t hesitate to have Annie stay there again!”
“Sonja & Tim are great and easy to work with! They send pictures and video updates for Goji throughout the stay. We can tell Goji had a great time there! Will definitely rebook again in the future and highly recommended!”
“Emily was awesome to work with to meet our needs as a first timer needing dog sitting and with the meet and greet with Daisy! Daisy’s 5 day stay with Emily was great! We were very satisfied.”
“Deirdre was wonderful! She was very patient with us (we were late for our initial meeting) and with our dogs. She was very flexible when it came to drop off and pick up. Our dogs seemed very happy when they came home. Typically they are stressed when they come home from a boarding overnight and that wasn't the case this time. We would highly recommend her services!”
“Savannah was quick to communicate and accommodated our schedule. Norman settled in right away and even snuggled with her dog! Savannah is very patient and great with animals. We hope to be back in the future.”
“Allen did a wonderful job taking care of our girl and was very responsive to messages as well as flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely love to book with Allen again ?”
“I don't even know where to begin! This was the absolute best discovery for myself and Sammy Sue. Everything about Nicole's care was top notch. My dog has never come home so well adjusted and behaved from me being gone. Her fenced in back yard was an absolute life saver and Nicole's loving nature made Sammy feel right at home instantly. If you want your pet to receive %100 loving care while you are away then this is the place to take them! 5 stars all the way!!!!!!! We will be back for sure, as I will never board my baby girl again! So glad we found you Nicole!!!”
