Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!

Lori is excellent! Our energetic golden retriever stayed with Lori for a week. She greeted us at the door and allowed us to settle him in before we left for a week. She has a great, comfortable space for dogs, including a large fenced in yard. She has a friendly dog and was sure to introduce them slowly and safely. She made sure Louie was safe, even removing stuffed toys he might ingest. She takes the dogs for walks, including the dog park. She was a great communicator and even sent pics of the dogs playing. She also gave Louie a bath before we picked him up! We will definitely use Lori again. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Patty took fabulous care of our two dogs while we were in New York visiting our son at college. She went above and beyond making sure our girls felt right at home! We loved the updates and pictures and we very much look forward to having them stay with Patty the next time we are in the area! We highly recommend Patty!!

Deanne was great!! First, she immediately allowed us to bring our dog to her home to see where he would be staying. She did not judge him based on size and breed but rather on his temperament and his potential fit with her family. She asked great questions before his stay and kept me informed during his visit.(she even sent photos and brief video) This was a great experience for us and Lucido!! We will be using her services again very soon!!!!

The dog was happy and healthy when we picked him up, and we received a photo with update on Friday. I can’t complain, and I don’t understand the barking to know the dog can so I assume everything is good.

Candice was so nice and was easy to coordinate with. Her space was perfect for my dog and a plus that she let him on the furniture as he loves to chill out on the couch and bed. My dog seems to have a great time and I’m so thankful to have someone nearby.

If there were more stars that I could give Vera, I would do that!❤️ I was going on vacation for four days and needed to find a boarder and this is the first time that I have ever went away. I met and chose Vera and am sooooo glad that I did. She erased any anxiety that I had and was an AWESOME pet sitter!!!! She gives daily updates with photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. I will definitely use her again in the future for anything.

Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.

My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.

Katherine was amazing taking care of Bogey for the first time! She was super responsive during the booking process, and sent loads of photos throughout his stay. It was clear Bogey was sad to leave given what a nice time he had in Katherine's home.

After a daycare, we had our pup with Gillian and her pups for a boarding. He absolutely loved being there. She really makes the experience feel like home, and so do her precious fur-babies. We were worry-free knowing ours was well-taken care of, and his needs for cuddles were met (more than expected)! We would definitely bring him to Gillian again. Thanks for an amazing stay!
