Yvonne and her family took amazing care of our 3-year-old golden retriever! She was very communicative throughout his stay, and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. She took him outside for lots of play time and nice walks, which he loved. It was truly like he was part of their family for the weekend. We knew our dog was safe, happy, and loved during his time there! We had such peace of mind on our trip knowing he was in great hands. Thank you again!

Liza was amazing! Our dog Scooby stayed with her for 5 nights and she sent us daily photos and updates. It looked like he had a great time there. He seemed to want to stay when I picked him up!!! When ever we travel Liza will be the first option to take care of Scooby!

Ashley did a fantastic job! We only left our dog with her for a weekend but he seemed like he didn’t want to leave when we went to pick him up! Ashley’s dog Ruby was so sweet and friendly, they got along great. We got lots of updates and pictures and I would certainly recommend her to others :) thanks Ashley!

Angelina took great care of Lucy for their day together. She sent multiple photos during the afternoon and is great with her communication. Lucy came back happy and had a great time playing with her pup. I’ll definitely use Angelina again in the future.

Jane was so great! We met up before the booking to ensure our pup would feel right at home. He got plenty of walks and play time! When I picked him up, I knew how happy he was. This is the first time he didn't try to bolt to the car to go home from an over night stay! Thank you, Jane!

This was our first time leaving Sailor at Kate's house. I was a little nervous about it, because Sailor gets anxious and sad when we leave her anywhere. However, it turned out this was the perfect environment for her. She warmed up quickly and had a splendid time with Archie (their goldendoodle) and the whole family! I love that they only take one dog at a time. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and videos. They are flexible, attentive, warm, and kind. It was the perfect home away from home for Sailor.

Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.

Charles and Annie took good care of our 12 year old border terrier, Lexie. They sent photos and followed my instructions about diet, walks, and water intake, and were sensitive to an older dog's needs. They were great about communicating with me. Lexie was happy and didn't need any readjustment when we arrived home...that's always the best sign that she has been well cared for!

Kaylee was awesome with our ~90lb dog. She always sent pics and updates. We were never worried during our vacation because she kept us posted. Our dog gets very nervous when we leave and so she added extra treats to his food to make sure that he eats. It was very kind of her. Her dog and cat were comfortable with our big dog as well. Highly recommend her. Will certainly go to her again.

I’m always jealous of my dog when I drop her off for boarding with Evan. The setting is so beautiful with the pond right there, beautiful tall trees and plenty of trails for adventures. During the week Evan sent pictures multiple times a day and quickly responded whenever I reached out. I really appreciate that he only takes one dog at a time because my dog is big and can be a lot to handle. Would recommend 10/10.
