21. Michelle A.

“Charlie was well loved and attended to. I know this because it took him almost 3 hours to come sit with me. I think he was sad to leave his new friends. Michelle was kind enough to send daily pictures of Charlie making himself at home. She was perfect for his first time sleepover without mom.”


22. Lucille P.

“We boarded our 2y old whippet, Willow, with Lucille for an overnight. As a nervous parent, I couldn't have felt more confident in the care I knew Lucille would provide for Willow. She and her husband David are such lovely people, and they have a warm, welcoming home. Willow immediately took to her home away from home. Lucille took her outside frequently and went on multiple long walks with her. I left instructions for Willow's diet, snack time and bedtime routine that she followed to the letter. I can't say enough good things about the care Lucille provided, and we will definitely be boarding with her again - likely within the month!”




23. Emily F.

“It was great. Sadie needed a day to recoup from all the fun she had with Bo. We are in process of trying to book another stay for Sadie.”


24. Jodie H.

“Jodie took excellent care of my dog, Gremlin. She made sure he was walked and well-fed. He received a good brushing, along with a change of outfit. Jodie treated him like he was her own. We will definitely be booking again soon!”




25. Rebecca N.


“Felt very reassured leaving my dog Alba in Becky's home. Very welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. When we went back for drop off after the meet and greet visit, it was obvious Alba was excited to return. She was allowed to roam the house, sleep wherever she preferred, and had several walks per day by Becky and her husband. At pickup, she was calm and happy, not stressed at all. Will definitely be visiting again!”


26. Donnie P.


“We bring our husky to Donnie on a weekly basis. Our pup is always excited to go and is always happy when we pick him up. Donnie is communicative and flexible, which is something we are grateful for.”


27. Phillip G.

“Philip and Chelsea were amazing with our dog Cooper! We were a little nervous, since this was Cooper’s first time away from us. Though Cooper was nervous at first he warmed right up to Philip and Chelsea and the other dogs that were there. We loved the pictures and updates we got about Cooper’s visit. I highly recommend having Philip and Chelsea watch your dog. They are great with dogs, have an amazing space for the dogs to play and take such good care of them. I will be booking them again whenever I need someone to watch Cooper while we are gone.”


28. Lorraine A.

“Lorraine is wonderful. She sent pictures of Sophie hanging out with Xena showing her having a great time. I will be booking with Lorraine again.”


29. John K.
“John and his kids took very good care of my dog Negan. Flexible pickup and drop off times. Updates on how my dog was doing over the weekend and included pictures. Negan came home tired from playing with the dogs and cats. Definitely will be using John as our dog sitter in the future.”


30. Shankar M.

“Shankar and his family were very accommodating with our dogs needs and took great care of her while keeping us well informed of everything that went on each day and sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely board with them again!”


31. Susan P.

“Sue and her family treated Koda like he was one of their own! He was so loved. Sue sent us daily updates and pictures while we were on vacation, which put us at ease. We’re so happy we found Sue and look forward to having Koda stay at Sue’s in the future! Thank you so much!”


32. Jaden N.
“I am so grateful to have been connected with Jaden! She is amazing! My dogs love her and she truly has a way with animals. Thank you for helping us with our fur babies with such short notice. We would recommend you to anyone in need of some help with their animals.”


33. Christine B.

“Our pup, Dobby, loved her time with Christine. We received regular updates and photos, and the pupper was so happy the entire stay. Highly recommend!”


34. Amanda H.

“Amanda and her family were so wonderful with Rocky and made me feel so comfortable leaving him. She sent me adorable pictures of Rocky being taken care of so well. I could tell he was happy and cared for.”


35. Cherie Q.

“Cherie took such amazing care of Mango, and we will continue to use her going forward! Amazing fenced in backyard- Mango came home happy and exhausted 🥰”


36. Monica P.

“Monica took care of my little (rescue) rat terrier overnight. She did an excellent job! My dog is anxious and Monica was very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures and kept me informed about my dog's experience throughout the stay. I am looking forward to my next booking with Monica!”


37. Hannah & Drew C.
“Hannah and Drew are the best! Our girls were so comfortable and had a wonderful time with their pups, a home away from home. See you guys again soon!”


38. Nicolas M.

“I highly recommend Nico and Marta, next time you're in need of a dog sitter. The communication was great with sending texts, pictures and videos. They even went the extra mile giving my dog his medication. My dog felt very much at home. Thank you very much!”


39. Rachael L.

“My two dogs enjoyed their stay with Rachael and her family. It is a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, and her two dogs are great! Outside time, sofa time, just perfect. We'll be back!!”


40. Robert V.

“Millie appears to have enjoy her time with Robert. He seems to care very much for the dogs in his care. I lover the personal attention and photographs he shared throughout the day while tending Millie. I will be using Robert going foward when needing to board my babe.”
