Dog Boarding in Christchurch

Karen treated my dogs as if they were her own. I feel very comfortable recommending her. I received pictures of my very happy dogs often which really put me at ease. I drove approximately an hour to pick up and drop off and it was worth it! Karen has a dog of her own that is friendly and playful. It was a pleasure working with Karen and I will use her again, and again.

Dolly seemed happy and in good condition when I picked her up. She greatly enjoyed the yard and got along well with Teona's Peke. She also loved Teona's toddler son (Dolly loves all babies and kids).

I still need to update my dog’s profile because our precious Koda passed away suddenly in June and we got a new German Shepherd, Maverick, rehomed with us in September. I didn’t expect to have to leave him with a sitter so early on— but we had a funeral to attend out-of-state. With only a month of experience with Maverick—- I wasn’t sure how he’d be with a sitter and her dogs. Robin acted unphased when he barked at her and when he initially had a tussle with her dogs. That’s what I needed. Robin was calm with Maverick and followed his feeding requirements. I would say she even spoiled him! He was happily playing with the other dogs when I came to pick him up. I would definitely use Robin again.

Paul & Terri, their family and their cats took exceptional care of our two pugs, 14 yo Molly and 7 yo Sunshine. Molly doesn't see or hear much anymore, so we were a bit worried about her, going in, but she seemed to form a kind of fun relationship with Bear, Paul & Terri's cat. We failed to provide enough food for the duration, so Paul & Terry went to the store and bought some rather than feeding the dogs something else withouht telling us. Very nice, thoughtful people. We'll definitely look them up again when we travel!

Janeen and her children were very good with Chloe. We would definitely book again.

Nia had a fun time with Ryan and Stephanie family. Ryan shared very clear instructions for getting there. Nia was at home when she saw Stephanie and ran around their yard. Ryan also shared pics of Nia regularly with her watching Golf with him. Would highly recommend Ryan and Stephanie to anyone going to Williamsburg area.

Victoria was an exceptional dog sitter. She was very communicative, flexible and was very attentive to our dog. I’d highly recommend her!

Sandra was great. We loved how she treated our dog Duke like he was part of her family. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Duke. We will definitely rebook with Sandra the next time we need someone to watch Duke. We couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Sandra.

We are "Out of towers" vacationing In the local area. We needed to room and board are beloved Min Pin puppy, who is about 3 months old and full of energy. Using Rover for the first time we (husband and I) were very apprehensive. We have a puppy just getting used to us, He still needs the last round of shots...so socializing was at minimum. The pup knows his name except when he isn't distracted. Guess what... HE'S ALAWAYS DISTRACTED!!! So we were so afraid of him getting loose and running away. Though the Min Pin training is coming along he is still a puppy. We were also afraid of all his training going out he window over a weekend stay with complete strangers. After speaking with Ethel all are worries started to disappear. She patiently answered all our questions and gave suggestions to make his stay easy on all of us. She garranteed she would treat him as her own...And she did. We received multiple pics of our Min PIN having fun, playing and sleeping. We gave her a puppy schedule and after picking him up it appears Ethel stuck with it because there have been no problems. I can't say enough about help and ease of mind we received by using Ethel. If you're vacationing or live in the local area go with Ethel for "peace of mind". Thanks again Ethel!!!

Yadira was so accommodating. We arrived late and she was very understanding. Her home was well set up for animals and Maggie came home happy and obviously well cared for. Maggie actually ate her food on her first morning there, which is unusual for my anxious dog when she is away, so I know she was comfortable there! Yadira sent pictures throughout Maggie's stay, which helped put me at ease as a first time guest. If I'm ever back in Williamsburg, I would definitely use Yadira again and I highly recommend her!

I was so lucky to have found Lana and that she was available to watch my 2 Goldens for 10 days. She is SO sweet and a true dog lover - she will take care of your pets like they are her own! Lana is easy to communicate with and sends lots of pictures and videos. My pups loved her big yard, playing with their dog Tucker, snuggling with her daughter, and just overall getting lots of love. I know my pups miss being over there! I would definitely have Lana dog sit again if we go out of town. Highly recommend!

Anabelle was WONDERFUL! Her home is extremely dog friendly and she has a sweet black lab ready to play--Sally had a blast! My dog fell in love especially with Anabelle's husband apparently :) They are both clearly dog people and were incredibly accommodating. Have already book more visits!
