I just picked up my little dachshund, Lacey, from Kathy's house. Lacey spent the week at her house and I could tell when I picked her up that she had a great time. She was happy and healthy and really was affectionate toward Kathy. Kathy's house is immaculate and has enough room for the dogs to play, and she has her own dachshund who is quite friendly with Lacey. I enjoyed the daily updates and pictures and the video that I received from Kathy while on my trip. She is a kind and caring person and loves her animals as well as yours. I would recommend her as a pet sitter and will certainly use her again in the future.

Jamie and her family were amazing. She takes the best pictures and my fur baby absolutely loved her family. She was so understanding and patient with me. I couldn’t have found anyone better family and I’m so grateful for her.

I was extremely nervous about leaving my puppy with someone for the very first time ever, however Corey made this over night stay very easy and stress free! He was very calm with Chico which made it this experience so awesome! Chico had a ball! All hands down I would recommend Corey!

I was scrambling to find dog boarding when my friend canceled on me at the last minute. I had no backup plan and actually thought I’d have to send my dog to a kennel for the week. Luckily, as I was looking up kennels, I found information on Rover. So this was my very first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Turns out, there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Rover is very easy to use and I was able to find Julie & Kenneth N’s information. After seeing/reading the positive reviews I made immediate plans to meet them and have them meet my Husky, Max. When Julie & Ken arrived, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, they love dogs. I was able to book Max to stay with Julie & Ken for the entire week that we were on a family vacation. As promised, I got daily emails (with pictures) of how Max was doing and Julie even let me know how helpful Max was in the kitchen — by being watchful to ensure Julie didn’t drop anything while preparing lunch. I loved all of the text communications I received — Max was smiling in some of the pics. That put me at ease too. If you want top notch boarding for your dog, then I highly recommend this dog-loving duo. Your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy with Julie & Ken. In the future, whenever we need dog boarding, Julie & Ken will be my very first choice. I am sincerely grateful to them for their excellent care of Max.

Our pup was well cared for during her week with Orly and Omar. She got to socialize with other dogs and came home tired and happy. We received lots of photo/video updates throughout her stay with them as well!

Shelby is such an awesome spirit! I got called into work and she took my Golden Retriever Lilly last minute and made her feel right at home. Im very picky about who watches my fur baby. But after meeting her I was certain my Lilly would be loved and spoiled like I would treat her and she did. Shelby has a sweet dog named Wrangler and they hit off very well. She sent pics and vids all day showing my doggy having a great time chilling with her. I look forward to booking her more in the future.

AWESOME. Geneive was more than accommodating for my last minute 7 day trip. She helped me when I was in a bind. From the moment I met her I know I was leaving my dogs in good hands. She sent me pictures every day and took them on numerous walks to the park in addition to their huge back yard for them to play in. I didn't pack enough food and she without hesitation hooked them up with the same food they had been eating so I wasn't stressing while away. Family is very caring also. MOST DEFINITELY will go back again next time my pups need a place to stay.

Emma & her husband are amazing! They both treated my sweet pup as their own. They kept me updated from as early as the day he got dropped off to the morning of pick up with sweet pictures and videos I will cherish forever. I couldn’t have found better people to trust with my fur baby.

Catina was wonderful with my dog. She sent me pictures and updates daily about how my dog was doing. He has separation anxiety and she made sure to take care of him like he was her own dog. My dog also enjoyed playing with Catina’s dog while she watched him. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town.
