Love the whole family! Maisy had a great stay with lots of walks and love. We had great communication regarding drop off and pick up times. Looking forward to scheduling another stay for Maisy.

Patrick and Doh were great sitters for my two dogs! They made my nervous blue heeler comfortable very quickly (not easy to do!). They were very communicative, and the photos they sent were great! I will definitely contact them again the next time I need to leave my dogs. Highly recommmend!

Ali and his wife are incredible caretakers for animals in their care. I got pictures every day of my dog. It made me feel secure in her care. I recommend them highly.

Rebecca is the most responsible, caring pet caregiver I know. When she was last at my house she spent so much time engaging with my cat and keeping him entertained. He was glued to her the whole time she was here. He ended up escaping while she was here (we had just moved into a new house and I didn't know one of the doors didn't latch closed) and she dropped everything to help me find him - and was in fact the one who ended up finding him outside! Rebecca is also skilled with caring for animals with special needs. Her dog Sylvie developed a terminal health condition and when she was finally able to obtain an accurate diagnosis, did a massive amount of research into it and adapted her care so successfully that Sylvie's quality of life improved tremendously. She built a bailey chair for her and carefully fed her each meal, often cooking her the only things she would eat. Sylvie stuck around much longer than expected purely because of the meticulous and loving way Rebecca cared for her. In short, Rebecca would always be my first choice to care for any pet of mine regardless of circumstance. She has such a genuine love of animals and attention to detail that would allow any pet parent to rest easy that their instructions are being followed and their pet is being well looked after, and well loved.

Our dog just stayed with Patti and family and had an amazing time! Patti’s daily messages and photos were great, and reassuring. It was clear to us that she was being well cared for and that our dog was in a knowledgeable, experienced and caring home. We’ve already booked again and will continue to do so! Thank you, Patti!

Everything went swimmingly. I had to extend the stay, which happened to work out, and Heidi was very accommodating. Walter the dog was very happy during the stay and treated Heidi with affection, knowing her for only a couple of days. Cheers.

You know when you fear your dog doesn't want to come home that you have found a good sitter. We really lucked out with Emma. We needed a last minute sitter for our poodle whose usual sitters backed out last minute when she needed extra care after breaking her toe. Emma didn't bat an eye at the double cone, splinted leg, twice daily pills and activity restrictions. We got daily updates and Stella didn't even need to wear her cone because she had such great supervision and attention from Emma. I'd love to keep her a secret but I also want other pups to have a great home-away-from-home experience.

Amy was awesome!! My dogs enjoyed her family so much. All the basics were met as indicated in daily pictures. But in addition my pups were showered with love and attention from the minute they arrived to the minute we left. Taz and Darby got along great with Amy’s dog Mayzie and now they have a new friend. I will definitely book with Amy again. The care she gave my pups put me at ease while on vacation!👍

So excited to have found Allison Nicole. Sophie came back so happy from her stay. Allison provided photos and texts consistently while we were away, alleviating any fears we may have had as this is the first time we’ve hired her. Communication in the scheduling was great too. Pricing is competitive in the area. Would totally go back and absolutely recommend.

Michael was very easy to deal with and treated Linda very well. He was very prompt and accommodating to our last-minute booking. Linda was a little nervous at first and he took extra steps to make her feel comfortable being a small dog with big dogs. He provided regular picture and text updates. We will definitely be booking with Michael again..

This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!

John took excellent care of my dog, Arrow. We had a meet and greet to make sure this was a good fit, and Arrow stayed with John for a day. Throughout the day John sent me pictures of my boy, having fun, and when I picked him up I could tell he'd spent the whole day happy and engaged. I'll be booking with John again whenever I need a sitter!

Karl has watched my dog, Willow, for over a year, and I can say with certainty that there is no one more perfect than him to be a dog sitter. He has a large, fenced-in backyard where the dogs can run around and play all day. When we're away, he sends us videos of her having the time of her life (she’s always a bit disappointed to come back home!). Taking care of these dogs is his passion, and it truly shows in how happy Willow is with him! I could not recommend him enough.

Julia and her children were great to my dog, Charly. It was the first time I left him with anyone and I was nervous about leaving him. Julia was very pleasant and even met Charly and I before his stay so I could see how he interacted with her and if she thought she could handle him. Julia was sensitive to Charly's needs (he is a tripod). She and her children were very affectionate with him and made him feel at home. She sent me pictures and messages daily, upon request to let me know how Charly was doing. Unfortunately, he was a little homesick at first and didn't have his regular appetite so Julia gave him chicken and even went to the store and bought the brand of canned food that I told her I sometimes feed him at home. She was very flexible with my schedule when dropping him off and picking him up. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone and I would also book with her again!
