“I recently boarded my dog for 5 nights, and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Shayna. She’s caring, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Bowser in her hands. We received updates and could tell he was getting plenty of love, attention, and exercise. He was happy, healthy, and well cared for, which gave me peace of mind. I truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely use her again when I can afford it.”

“First time using Rover. My Remy enjoyed his stay with Warren especially his fenced-in backyard where he can roam around freely. He sent us pics and videos of his stay so we are confident that he is being taken care of. We'll definitely use him again. We highly recommend him.”

“This was Tilly's second stay with Isabel. Judging from the photos we received, she had again a wonderful time playing with Isabel's dog. Glad to have found such a wonderful dog sitter!”

“Madison did a fantastic job! Bucky seemed so happy and she gave us daily updates so we wouldn't worry about how he was doing... including some great pics! Thanks again Madison!”

“Shannnon was amazing with my boys! I’ve never really left them with anyone but family and she made me feel like they were her family! She sent lots of photos and updated me throughout their stay! I would be happy to let my dogs go stay with her any time I needed! The dogs didn’t want to come back home when I picked them up!”

“Keith & Rebecca took great care of my pup who has been very anxious/stressed in other boarding situations. He came home relaxed and at ease. Will book again in the future!”

“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”

“Danielle was awesome! It was our first time leaving our 4 month old puppy and we were nervous. Danielle made us feel so comfortable about it all. She was warm and welcoming at drop off, gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and totally put our minds at ease. Our pup came home as happy as we left him. Her family gave him all the love and snuggles as if he was their own. Thank you so much Danielle!!”

“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”

“Paula and Bill (and Marty!) were absolutely wonderful. When another solution fell through at the last minute, they quickly stepped in to care for Loki during a family event with very short notice. Their warm and caring personalities put me completely at ease, and their home is lovely and welcoming. The attention to detail they showed in caring for him was exactly what I needed during a stressful time. They turned what could have been a difficult situation into an absolute relief. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“Gail provides excellent dog sitting service with so much care for your dog. She knows a lot about dogs, keeps you updated daily with the pictures she sends and walks your dog. I highly recommend her and I would use her service in the future if I need someone taking care of my dog.”

“We had a great experience with Corey from start to finish. From the initial meet‑and‑greet, Corey was friendly, communicative, and took the time to understand our expectations for the care of our Fergal. During the stay, Corey shared updates on how Fergal was doing, and at pick‑up he provided feedback on how the stay went, including little details about Fergal that made it clear he genuinely paid attention and cared. A stay with Corey doesn’t feel transactional — it feels personal, it’s clear he truly cares about the dogs he looks after. He’s quick to respond, communicates well, and does his best to fully understand and deliver on expectations. Fergal was comfortable and well cared for in Corey’s home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”

“Shellie is so sweet. She made sure Sawyer felt right at home. They went on daily walks, played outside and had snuggles in the evening. Shellie asked all about Sawyer, his likes/dislikes, his schedule and made sure to get to know him and us before he stayed. I really appreciate her attentiveness and will definitely use her again.”

“Kelly was so great with squishy! She took such good care of her and sent us pictures every day. She made sure to follow everything! My puppy even cried when we were leaving Kelly’s house after picking her up!”

Jenna is great! This is our second time booking with her and our first overnight booking. She is responsive and sends plenty of update pictures. Our pup is a former puppy mill mom and can still be nervous about odd things but Jenna is considerate of her quirks and is willing to try a few different things to make her feel comfortable. Thank you!

We love using Wyatt to watch our boys. They always come home well cared for and TIRED. He always sends us updates during their stay, is super friendly, and can say he genuinely cares. Definitely recommend boarding with Wyatt. 5/5 stars. Will continue to board with him.

Our pups had a wonderful weekend and were very well cared for! Taylor has the perfect pup friendly neighborhood & fenced back yard. She was extremely kind and communicative. We felt extremely comfortable that our puppy and senior lady were in good hands and enjoying their stay! Thank you!!

Sarah was very professional and attentive to the needs of our dog while we were out of town. Our girl is very anxious and frightful, it had been a challenge to find a pet sitter that gave her the attention she needed to feel safe. Then I found Sarah! Sarah did a thorough intake, went over our daily routines and was very open to planning a meet and greet. She was patient and so gentle, we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. We appreciated that she sent daily updates and videos. Unfortunately our flight was delayed but she was easy going about our late night pick up. Sarah even took time to send us details about how she worked with our dog to help her stay calm and regulated while away from home. We are so glad that it went well and will request her keep our pooch the next time we go anywhere. THANK YOU SARAH!!!

The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!

Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍

Hailey was absolutely wonderful , took such good care of my dog Klaus, sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away, Honestly I would of never felt comfortable Leaving Klaus if it wasn’t for Hailey ,she literally is amazing with him , She made my dog feel like Family and he had a blast playing with his new Pal pilot , I’ll be using Hailey again, I highly recommend !

Mallery was fantastic! She cared for my pup while I was gone for a weekend trip and when I got back to pick him up he didn’t want to leave her! She sent me updates daily to let me know how he was doing, which always eases my mind while away from him. Will definitely be using Mallery again!
