“We have a 5 month old puppy and this is the first time we’ve had to board her. I was very nervous to leave her but Ivan was awesome. He was very attentive and tried to keep to her normal routine. He also shared many pictures over the days we were gone. I would definitely go to Ivan again.”
“Michael watched our dog, Atticus, for two days while I was out of town. He provided me with consistent updates with pictures and he walked her twice a day.

Thank you Leticia for showering Miles with love and affection! Miles came home happy and we look forward to having him stay with you again ❤️.”

We’ll definitely use her services again! Highly recommended.”

“Drop off & pick up was super fast and easy. Benedict & Kristina are very responsive and sent multiple updates and pictures! Nala had a great time with them! Would definitely book with them again.”
About: We are a family of four who loves dogs. Our lives center around our healthy 5 year old lab retriever Texas who spayed and updated with her shots. We live in the beautiful hills of Belmont and have a deck for dogs to sunbathe on and a fenced yard to play and get their wiggles out. I’m a dog walker so what better than walking two dogs versus one! 7am potty break, 7.30am Breakfast, 8-9am morning play, relax/sunbathe (dogs 😊), 10-11 am bathroom break 4pm - dinner, 5-7 pm walk , lights out -10.30pm Before boarding it’s imperative that we meet the dog and the dogs meet each other. Smaller dogs get very defensive affront large dogs and since we have a large dog I’m right now restricted to large dogs only. Our fenced yard is a perfect place for dogs to play and have fun with the gazillion toys we have. We also live 5min away from a dog park so if your dog is friendly and has a good recall that’s another place we can have fun. I take time to build and earn the dog’s trust - some treats go a long way. I check their paws after playing to ensure nothing is bothering and also keep a keen eye on any scratching or biting.
“Kelly kept our dogs safe and happy during our time away. She provided frequent updates, photos and videos so we could see our pups enjoying all of their daily activities with her. She was very quick to reply if we had any questions or concerns. She maintained our dogs’ regular schedule and they adjusted easily to their stay with Kelly without any issues. Her place is super clean so we weren’t worried about our dogs getting into anything dangerous. When our trip was unexpectedly cut short for reasons unrelated to the pups, Kelly took the initiative to contact Rover and modify our booking so we wouldn’t be charged for the days we originally booked but were no longer using. We will definitely book with Kelly again for our next trip!”
“This was my first time to receive service from Minori and it was amazing experience. Exceptional is an understatement! Her attentiveness and the way of taking care of our dog Marshall are really commendable. She constantly update us by sharing videos of walking to pee, having fun time playing with him and giving him treats. It really allowed us to feel relieved and fully enjoy our trip. We would be happy to entrust our beloved pet to her experienced hands again in the future. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to her family for their exceptional love and care towards our fur baby and welcoming our boy into their home. We feel incredibly blessed to have met you all. Thank you! * I definitely recommend Minori to be your pet sitter, she will go above and beyond and give love to your pet as if it’s her own!”

Andy has taken care of our 3yr old golden retriever for two long trips now. He is trustworthy and our golden retriever does so well when he is with him. He gets lots of walks and outdoor times, eats well and is well behaved. Andy also sends lots of photos and videos everyday.
The best service you could possibly ask for. My puppy had some of the most fun of his life staying with Ivan! He got playtime all day, Ivan was super patient with him during his training phase, and I had zero worries. I absolutely recommend Ivan for a high-quality experience and second home for your dog.
Yoko helped to take care of my dog for the last 3 days and she was AMAZING!!! So kind and thoughtful, and I could tell she really loves dogs! She treated Bodo as if he was her own. She took him for long walks and sent tons of photo updates. She is super sweet and kind - I highly highly recommend her!
Michael was fantastic! This was the first time I had left Bojangles for more than an overnight and I had no cause to worry. His communication was constant, and when I picked up Bojangles, it was obvious he had been well cared for. Will definitely be using Michael again.
Debbie is nothing short of an amazing, caring pet sitter. She is the first pet sitter we have ever used and she has set the bar so high. She made our highly sensitive, human-centered doggie so comfortable and at ease. She followed Abby’s schedule and she was so perceptive in my nerves for leaving Abby. She set my mind to ease. Debbie was so patient with our dog’s fear of elevators — and guess what? Now, our dog is no longer afraid! Debbie sent daily pictures and texts. We will definitely be repeat customers ! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!
