Dog Boarding in Benevola

This was my first time using a pet sitter. I've only taken my high anxiety dog a handful of times to a local boarding facility for 2 or 3 days at a time maximum. So to leave my dog with a stranger for 2 weeks where I'm at a different continent, was nerve-wracking to say the least. Ive met up with a few sitters on here and I can say that from the start Renee was very welcoming, knowledgeable, understanding, and had great communication. She voluntarily mentioned things like having an emergency vet nearby, thinking through other dogs that she'd be looking after at the same time and how all the dogs would fit together. She was asking all the right questions to learn about Trudie's routine and how to have her stay be as comfortable as possible. While I was away on vacation, she would send me daily updates on how Trudie is doing with accompanying pictures. She shared how her eating and potty habits were truthfully (which were all expected given how anxious my dog is and the new situation she's in). I was just hoping that Trudie would not be freaking out the entire time, I would have called that a win. So seeing pictures of Trudie on her back getting belly rubs was just beyond anything I could have hoped for. I truly felt comfortable while being thousands of miles away that my dog is in great hands. I rarely ever write reviews, but Renee truly deserves the recognition.

This was the perfect situation for my anxious 10 pound rescue. Adrianne and her husband were so patient with Maddie and understanding of her fears. It was the first time leaving her due to her anxiety but knew it would be best. I am truly so fortunate that I found this couple. The yard was perfect and they had a small dog for Maddie to connect with! I highly recommend them to care for your fur baby!

We love Arlene! She has been so amazing with our high energy fur baby. He always has an great time and I know he is well taken care of when she watches him for us. We highly recommend her!

Mandie took amazing care of our dog! We took a last minute trip and needed boarding for our dog, Mandie had great communication and was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet on short notice. She sent updates and pictures of our girl each day letting us know she was well taken care of and having a great time. Our dog and her’s became fast friends. Highly recommend Mandie for boarding services, we would definitely book with her again for taking care of our dog!

Terri was fantastic with Lenny! He felt right at home and had lots of playtime outside. We would definitely book Terri again. Thank you, Terri!

Satsuki stepped up and took over care of Gunner when we needed her most. Sunner settled in and she used her knowledge to calm him down and get him eating when the other sitter couldn't. Gunner returned to us healthy and happy!

Hugo was so well cared for while staying with Ruth. He seemed at ease immediately and seemed to have a wonderful time while staying there. We received daily updates and photos, more than we even expected. The communication was excellent throughout, and it made us so at ease and able to focus on our trip, knowing that Hugo was being cared for and that if there were any important updates we would be promptly informed. Hugo had an excellent time for the entirety of his stay and we loved seeing him hanging out with Tazzz and generally being cozy and comfortable. Hugo was treated with care, love and attention and really seemed to like being there. When I picked up Hugo, he was excited to see me (and I got a nice video of the experience!) and then he was so calm and happy on the drive home. At home he seemed relaxed and genuinely refreshed from his stay, which really reinforced our feeling that he was in good hands. We would definitely have Hugo stay with Ruth again. Thank you for caring for Hugo!

Joanne graciously took in our dog on short notice. Her own dogs and cats were delightful and they all got along really well. We felt very good about leaving her there, as Joanne is knowledgeable and caring as well as experienced. When we picked our dog up after our trip, she was happy and healthy and high spirited. It was a great experience and we plan to book Joanne again in the future.

Kacy and Justin were very flexible and responsive with us. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Filbert with them again. Our dog was well taken care of, had a yard to run around, and we received daily updates. Ours is an only dog, so having their friendly dogs around was good for helping to socialize him.

I may have said it before, but it is so nice not worrying all week about our dog when we are away. Wiley really loves it at Barbara's house. Her communication is great! WILL use her again!

Rene was very kind and her home is very lovely and relaxing. You can tell she a Has a love for animals which is a good thing. I never used Rover before or left my cats anywhere for that long, but I'm glad I did. I only needed a place for my two cats for a few hours. I would use her again, especially if my cats need somewhere to be overnight. I know she will take care of them and that they will be safe. Thank you, Rene. :)

Highly recommend! Marne was easy to communicate with and kept us updated regularly by sending pictures every day. It gave our family great peace of mind knowing Myers was well taken care of! We would certainly use Marne again.

Jennifer was amazing! I urgently needed last minute dogsitting on a holiday weekend, and not only was she able to help, she was on top of communication, I got pictures of my pup enjoying herself! I picked up a happy and healthy dog, excited to see me after a 4 nights stay, I would def trust Jennifer with your dog

Laura was outstanding! To come to her for the first time, when finding a new sitter for my dog Kenzie, she was super quick, easy-going, and welcoming. She provided plenty of updates and Kenzie loved playing with her dog Gin! Only sad thing was seeing Gin whining when we were leaving, but we will definitely be going back!

We are so glad to have found Rina for watching our dog Hazel. She had lot of fun with their dog Gigi. This is our first time leaving our pet with anyone and will definitely consider Rina for our future dog sitting. We cannot recommend her enough.

Linda was absolutely wonderful! I loved and appreciated the regular updates sharing how my pup was doing! You could tell she cares and loves each dog as her own and is attentive to their individual needs! My dog was also exhausted when she got home! A great sign that she had a great time!

Iesha was great! Her family and home were welcoming. She was responsive and sent updates. She worked extra hard to make sure my senior dog was comfortable.

Bella’s stay with Christina went perfectly. She played with other friendly dogs in a very large yard in farm like setting. She came home in great condition clean with no ticks, fleas, etc only problem is that she seems bored now and may have had too much fun. Thanks Christina!
