“Stacey gave wonderful care to my dog Sally. She kept me informed on what Sally was doing, and sent multiple pictures each day. Some videos were also sent. I could tell that Sally was happy and content in her home from the pictures and videos. Stacey gave Sally special treats per my instructions, and sent home her food/water dishes and treat dispensers all washed ! She and her family gave Sally a lot of love and attention, which was much appreciated by both Sally and myself.”


“Kristen was great! We will definitely use her again. Very easy meet & greet, immediately felt at ease leaving our pup with her. We got plenty of updates on our trip and everything went great.”


“I have used Rover for many years now and Polina has been the best. Between the fast responses, last minute confirmed bookings for my pup and the amount of love and attention he gets while in her care goes unmatched. I would recommend her to everyone and I will continue to use her for all my bookings moving forward!”


“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”


“Left my dog for two weeks. From the daily videos and photos that Yan was sending to me, it was clear that my dog was doing great. Will bring my dog back again next time I travel!”


“This is Zena's second time with Sam and she loved it. Sam is great with Zena. Sam is aware of Zena's triggers and needs. Zena had a full yard to hunt and play in. Sam sent videos and pictures daily and of Zenas activities and communicated in a friendly and timely manner. Zena loves hanging out with Brown Dog! Without a doubt, I will make more reservations. Thank you Sam!”


“Maypud was absolutely great. She kept me informed about Zeus and sent pictures and Zeus was able to play outside get water whenever he wanted. I would absolutely use her again when we go out of town. We can tell that Zeus had a great time.”


“Luna seemed very happy and comfortable with Christine, Matt, and their family. I enjoyed the text updates and photos because I worried Luna was nervous. Wonderful to work with and excellent communication!”


“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”


“Eden takes such good care of my baby girl. I am 100% confident that she is treated with love and nurture with Eden and Gal and Cruizy. She even knows her little quirks and her doggy terms. Luna and I thank you!!!”


“I had a surprise hospital stay and needed to find a safe place for Minnie for a week. Leah and her family were so cooperative, sent pictures every day along with some delightful comments. And she was so good to accommodate an early drop off and a few extra days. Such a nice home. Minnie went right to Leah which doesn't happen often so I knew she was in the right place. Will definitely use Leah again...it was a relief not to worry about my Zen pup.”


“We have used Donna 2ce now and will use her services again. It is obvious she is a dog lover the minute you step in her home! She is easy to work with and our boy was well loved.”


“Irina is AMAZING! I am very selective and picky when it comes to choosing a sitter for my dog but she went above and beyond. She sent me picture updates throughout the day and made sure that my dog was entertained. Thank you Irina! :-)”


“Kristin was an absolute delight of a River! So unbelievably accommodating and a perfect fit for our pup! She sent daily photos and took the best care of him. We will be using Kristin for our next dog boarding needs!”


“Best family we could have left our girl with. I think she was a little sad to come back with us! Attentive and kind people that sent us regular updates. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
