Maverick had a blast and was well taken care of!! We loved getting picture updates!! Maverick has separation anxiety and tends to not eat while away from home but he did eat and had a great time!! He came home a tired pup which for him is good.

We had such a great experience with Matt! He watched both of our pups for over a week and did an amazing job. He sent regular updates with pictures, took them on multiple walks, and made sure they were happy and well cared for the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!

We love to travel with our cavapoo, but when we can't, it's so nice to have a place where we feel comfortable leaving him. Larissa is very reliable and genuinely seems to care for our dog. Would recommend her 100%!

We have complete trust in Todd & Maureen for our somewhat hyper female lab mix. I think she enjoys being there with the other dogs they have and where she can run in their back yard and yet stay indoors as she is used to doing. And I am sure she loves the AC on these very hot days we have had recently. We appreciate the pics and updates while we are vacationing. Highly recommended.

Erin was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. She sent updates and pictures every day and was quick to respond. She made sure our dog was eating (hand feeding) even though he was nervous in a new setting. Our dog had a fun time playing with other dogs in her backyard. Would recommend!

About: I saved a rooster when I was 8 and we had him until he passed. Love all pets but mainly dogs. Love lots of cuddles. I have three small dogs of my own and have a gate to keep separate if needed. They are very spoiled and under 13 years old. I have a small moveable fence in my back yard that is 3 foot high. My dogs do well with it. I have a crate for a medium dog if needed. I have several dog beds and lots of dog blankets. I keep them clean. I have wood floors with rugs and those little guys that are still learning potty training I have kitchen area that I put towels down not potty pads and I was them. I can bath them if needed.

Sage was wonderful with my three little dogs. She sent pictures/videos and kept me updated on how they were doing the entire stay. She was very understanding and patient with the doggie that we just rescued. Will definitely book with her again.

Great communications. It was clear the dog was comfortable and had fun. I was totally at ease and this was the first time I left him with a stranger. We had a meet and greet the week before and Archie was happy to return - dogs know! I know he would be good to go again and I would be confident of safe, loving and fun care.

Jason was quite literally the best. He was enthusiastic from beginning to end, willing and able to meet our 6month old puppy’s needs without hesitation, and went above and BEYOND expectations. The photos, videos, and text updates made us feel as though we were leaving our babe in better hands than our own! 10 out of 10 recommend. We’ certainly look forward to reserving him in future.

Cher is an angel and truly a blessing. She helped me out last second when I had to go into the hospital and suddenly had nowhere to put my baby for 4 days and I will never forget what she did for me. I know my dog had to have been terrible with her separation anxiety from me but Cher kept me updated and didn't even complain about some of Icey’s less positive aspects. Do not even consider booking anyone else in the area if Cher is available. Thats all I am going to say.

Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!

Claire did great with Sansa. She was accommodating for us, took great care of our dog, and sent us updates and pictures as well! Sansa came home and acted just like normal, so I knew she was perfectly comfortable and that says a lot for me. Would use Claire again for sure!

Jennifer and her family took great care of our pup and we are so thankful to them for that! When we encountered travel issues, Jennifer’s prompt replies and willingness to extend our dog’s stay and adjust pick up plans were so very appreciated. We would use Jennifer and her family for future boarding needs.
