“I have boarded my dog with Kristy twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times! My biggest issue with conventional boarding facilities was that no one seemed to be able to give Rocky his medications correctly, but Kristy has been on top of it. She communicates well, sends pictures, and updates frequently. Rocky is an anxious dog and can be very particular about his space, but Kristy didn’t have any issues with this and knows dog behavior well. As long as she’s available I’ll book in the future!”


“Thank you so much for watching my babies. They were so well taken care of. She is excellent at this and has the perfect setup and land. My dogs were so happy there and I'll gladly use her every time.”


“We could not have asked for a more perfect sitter for Axel. Shawna was very responsive to all communications. She took extra care to ensure his safety and we had no concerns with knowing he was well taken care of.”


“Skylar & Trey were very warm & reassuring when I had to leave my 14 year old Bichon, who’s never been boarded, for almost 2 weeks. They responded promptly to texts & sent lots of pictures of my pet while I was vacationing.”


“This is our first time with Sandra. We are extremely happy with her level of care and affection for Coco. She sent great pictures and admitted that Coco slept with Sandra…which we know Coco relished. We definitely recommend Sandra and we will have other opportunities for Coco to enjoy Sandra and her two dogs.”


“Brittany was great! Murphy had a great week with Brittany and her family. She always responded very promptly whenever I needed to reach out and she provided updates on how Murphy was getting along while we were gone. We definitely plan to use Brittany again in the future.”


“I highly recommend Avonleah! My Luna girl had the best time playing with her family and Blue! She sent frequent updates and photos each day. I will definitely be rebooking!”


“We had just adopted our dog and had to leave for a week long trip. I wasn’t sure how it would go but felt much better after meeting Hannah and her husband. Our timid dog had no problem going with these kind folks! I loved getting the photos and little updates throughout my trip. We will be back when travel comes up again. Thanks, Hannah!”


“As far as I can tell, Frances did a good job She wasn't good with sending updates or photos. I didn't know when she arrived or left. So late that night, I was concerned something happe.ed and my animals were alone. I messaged and received a response the next morning. She was good at communicating on Daturday but I don't know if she left early, late or on time. The water bowl was empty anf most likely had been for a while because it had been k locked over, which is what one of my girls diesn when its empty to say she needs water. With the time I got in, it would not have been empty if Frances left when she was supposed to amd had checked the water bowl.”


“Trey greeted us and invited us into a very nice home that we were sure our puppies would love to spend a few days. We received pics during their stay and were very much at peace with how they were being cared for. He had them and all their stuff ready when we arrived and they as happy and healthy as when we left them. Trey is all you can hope for when its necessary to board your kids (you know what I mean).”


“Ivey took kiwi after I book very last minute. She shared pictures. Her house was very clean, organized and smelled good. She has two pups that were well behaved and played with kiwi. :) thank you Ivey!!!”


“Melissa was amazing. I’d never boarded my dog before and was a littler nervous. She seemed very confident when we met and I could tell my dog immediately respected her. While I was gone, she sent me pictures and updates of how my dog was doing. I can tell he enjoyed his stay with her and was taken care of. She even gave us a handwritten card saying thank you! I’ll definitely be reaching out to Melissa again if I need someone to watch him.”


“Shaney was very accommodating and Trax had a great time staying with her family. She has a nice fenced in yard for him to get oof-leash exercise. She seems to truly love dogs and my pup was very well cared for.”



“This is the third time we boarded our lovely Coco at Lauryn’s place. I am writing this review because Lauryn did a great job caring for Coco, a picky eater and attention seeker. We tried multiple places to board Coco in the last 6 years, but every time, Coco gets sick because they cannot feed Coco. We will use Lauryn’s service every time we need to board Coco.”



“Really appreciated this sitter. She sent frequent photos of my dog and it looked like he was having a blast with his “friends.” Would definitely recommend to others and use again in the future. Thank you!”


“Deb was absolutely amazing! We got updates daily and our Zola was so happy playing with her new furry friends! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby!”


“Andrew was terrific! We will definitely use him again. We received photos and updates each day, he answered tons of questions and was so patient with us. I have total trust in him and are so happy to have a place for our fur baby to go when we can’t be with her.”
