“Kelly was awesome for our girls first stay away from home. She updated me throughout our 3 days away so that I had peace of mind and knew they were being well cared for. They came home happy and tired! Thank you Kelly!”

“Melissa was very flexible and communicative. My dog stayed with her for an overnight on New Year’s Eve. She sent me 2 pictures of him which was very nice. Simple and easy and my dog came home happy”
“I was looking for the boarding for my dog when I visited my parents. I found Jenn and Brian. I was skeptical about leaving my dog with someone I haven’t met until the day I dropped him off at their house. They were wonderful to my dog. They have three dogs and they all get along well. I felt better about him being with them. They are wonderful people! They were very kind and caring for my dog. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Carol was wonderful with Star. Being an old dog I have not left her with a non-family member in a long time. I felt very good leaving Star in Carol's care. Star even snuggled with Carol's other old dogs. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Kim is fantastic! You can rest assured you will be leaving your pet in a house full of love!💕Barkley enjoyed her stay and even made a new friend! It was also nice to receive daily photos of my pup to put my mind at ease. Will definitely be booking again 😃”
“I want to start off by saying that Dani did an amazing job! She was extremely flexible with her schedule and responded to my request very quickly. This was my first time leaving my 11 month old Mastiff with someone other then family;needless to say, I was very nervous. As soon as I arrived she came outside and made me feel extremely comfortable. We went on a small meet and greet walk and Dani showed a very genuine interest in Miles and his habits. Her facilities are perfect for any sized dog. Once I left, she would send updates and pics letting me know that my baby was having a good time. I only used Dani for 1 night and I woke up to a text from her the next morning saying everything was alright and that Miles slept well, which was extremely reassuring. I can not say enough good things about Dani. We will definitely be using her again soon! Thanks Dani!”
“Jessie took great care of my puppy Archie. He sent pictures and it was obvious Archie was having a great time. He has a nice yard and the dogs get to play outside a lot, too.”
“Beverly has been absolutely amazing. My dog loved her and her husband the three days she stayed with them. Beverly was very flexible with us and responsive whenever we texted her. We also enjoyed all the photos she sent us while we were away.”
“Over the holidays we entrusted our dog, Pliny, to the care of Chelsea and Derek. We couldn't have been more happy with their care, their attention to detail, and the overall process. My husband and I met them twice prior to the holidays to get comfortable with the arrangement and they were more than willing and accommodating. Consistent and clear communication while we were gone along with photos were really appreciated. While we missed Pliny dearly on our trip, we felt comforted that he was under great care. Pliny returned home happy and clean and quickly adjusted back to home life. This is the best dog care experience we've had so far and we will absolutely continue to trust Chelsea and Derek for future trips.”
“Mindy took great care of my pup when we couldn't bring her on vacation with us. She had a great time with her new cat friend, and came home to us happy and healthy.”

“Erika took great care of our dachshund Penne Linguine! She had a dedicated area for our “little princess” and made sure to give her lots of attention, walks, playtime. We received several photos and video of Penne having a great time on her “vacation”. Thanks guys!”
“Sarah was awesome! She was available on a pretty short notice and sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend. Sarah and her family are all dog lovers and very friendly. I highly recommend her and if I'm ever in need of a dog sitter again, she's first on my list! Thanks again Sarah!”
“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”
