“Katie and Jeremy were wonderful, loving, and accommodating sitters. They sent photos of my dog every day and it warmed my heart to see that Maggie was happy and healthy. I would highly, highly recommended Katie and Jeremy to anyone.”
“Roxy had the absolute best time at Joseph and Andrea’s. I have a really hard time leaving her, but immediately felt less anxious upon meeting Joseph and seeing the awesome setup they have for dogs at their home. They made Roxy a little part of the family for the time they had her, and I genuinely didn’t have to worry one bit. Thank you again!!”
“Another wonderful stay with Maria and Jose! They receive my highest recommendation! I am so grateful for their daily communication with pics and videos. Their attention to detail is exceptional! It is a huge comfort knowing that my pup is in the best of hands when I travel. Thank you again, Maria and Jose!”
“We had our small pup, Tinkerbell stay with Vicky for 4 days & nights. She was so good with Tinkerbell, we were so impressed how much time & attention was given to our sweet Tink. She went on 3-4 walks daily, had children to enjoy, many videos & photos & they had toys to play with. Tink had a great vacation too. We loved Vicky & would highly recommend her for dog walking & boarding! Thank you Vicky, Tink can’t wait to come again for a visit with you & we appreciate your excellent care with her. Debbie & Tom”
“Jennifer is an amazing sitter! She was so attentive to our dogs needs and we felt so comfortable leaving him for the weekend. She updated us with pictures and messages letting us know what was happening. We will definitely be asking her to watch Ash again. I cannot recommend anyone more!”
“Our two big labradoodles loves this place, which we call “the camp.” Lists of other dogs and open space, and we can tell how much Melissa and her crew love and care for the dogs. We are so happy to have discovered this camp for the dogs when we travel.”
“Brody was an excellent choice for Pepper! We needed to keep her calm and limit her movement due to medical restrictions and we felt she was extremely safe in Brody’s care. He went above and beyond to ensure she was safe and comfortable and I would 100% bring any of my pets back to him in the future!!”
“Nancy and her husband are really nice people. We really enjoyed meeting them. They took wonderful care of our fur babies on their mini farm. Our dogs got to meet an Alpaca, goats and chickens for the first time and play with their dogs. The really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Nancy was great at sending great pictures of their activities.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Jessica and Jack’s care of Blue and the overall experience. They were super responsive, friendly, helpful and accommodating from the first time I contacted them until the end of our dog’s stay. Jessica sent pictures and/or videos every day and so we didn’t have any concerns or worries during our time away. Very grateful for the love and care they gave our Blue- highly recommended!”
“While visiting Asheville, we needed someone to take care of Happy meanwhile we had dinner at a not pet-friendly restaurant -- and we were very pleased with all the love (and message update) Terri gave our furry daughter. We dropped off and pick up Happy at Terri's farm, and get to know two of her beautiful dogs.”
“Richard was watching my puppy when hurricane Helene hit. Despite the chaos and crisis he stayed in communication as best he could and kept her safe the entire time I was gone. Words can’t express my gratitude. Aside from that, he was very accommodating of her puppy needs and took great care of her.”
“Michelle was a fantastic dog sitter! She was kind enough to accept Mr. Pibb at the last minute when we were in a pinch, and she and her daughter went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and at home! She sent several videos and photos every day with detailed messages about how the day went, and what all they did together. Mr. Pibb got lots of snuggles and play time while he was there. I could tell he was really enjoying being there in the videos which helped me not have to worry about him at all! He was in very good hands with both Michelle and her daughter. Thank you Michelle! We will definitely book with you again in the future!”
“Highly recommend!! When I brought my dog Finn over it was immediately clear Micah was experienced and knowledgeable with dogs from how the intro was handled (both to her sweet dog Koda and the property). Updates with pictures never left me guessing how Finn was doing. Micah went above and beyond taking him out for engaging activities and exercise - will definitely be reaching out again next time I’m out of town!”

“If you want to leave your furry friend(s) with folks that will treat him/her/them like one of the family reach out to Ann & Jaren! This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Opal. The experience could not have gone better. The initial meeting with Jaren, drop off, communication during the week, and pick up was AMAZING! We received pictures and videos of her playing and being cuddled. We could tell Opal was having a blast with her new friends, which allowed us to relax with no worries. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
