“I am confident that there is no other dog caregiver in this world who cares for dogs as much as Thea does. After several successful daycare experiences, we tried boarding with Thea for the first time. Chester's first boarding experience was undoubtedly excellent. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Thea, who always provides an even better experience than we could have imagined.”
“This is the second time we brought our dogs to Donna and they ran to the door! It's like summer camp. She brings the dogs on walks, and to the park.

We will definitely be using Marianna again!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! D’Artagnan and his wife cared for our two dogs as if they were their own, giving them so much love, attention, and reassurance. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly felt completely at ease in their care—which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. He also shared thoughtful advice and insight that helped us better understand our dogs, and his knowledge of dog behavior is truly impressive. We’re incredibly grateful to have found them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members!
Michelle is a wonderfully kind dog sitter who truly understood Mochi’s personality. She was incredibly thoughtful—even bathing Mochi late at night and double-checking the sleeping arrangements to ensure everything was just right. Her own dog, Sam and Mochi happily played and napped together; Michelle sent me heartwarming photos every day. Although this was my first time asking her for Mochi’s boarding, She did a great job taking care of my dog. If schedule works I would like ask her again !
Thank you so much Beth and family! We really appreciate you and your family caring for our little love Copper. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We received regular photo updates and sweet messages during our trip. Copper looked so happy! It was comforting knowing she had a wonderful experience being a part of their loving family! We will definitely book with Beth again! - Mariellyn and Michael
Dar took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away! They seemed very happy and comfortable during their stay and were clearly well cared for. Dar made sure they got plenty of walks and lots of time outside, which they absolutely love. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Dar to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter, and I would happily have my dogs stay with Dar again!

Moose loved his time with Rhondarose! It was clear during our meet & greet that she is very knowledgeable & experienced - we're lucky we found her! She provided loving care, excellent communication with many daily pics, and lots of playtime & snuggles. Moose had a GI issue and she knew exactly how to care for him & keep us updated. Rhondarose is a rare find & we will definitely board with her again. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Moose!
Cindy and her family took such good care of Aslan this past week! They so graciously accepted Aslan even when they had just gotten a brand new puppy, so Aslan got to play big brother for a whole week! Cindy sent me so many pictures and videos everyday! I picked up a very happy and tired pup at the end of our trip! Great family to trust with your dog!!
Ellie and her husband watched Kody for 5 nights at their house, and this was the first time I'd been away from Kody for more than about a 12 hour stretch. I was pretty anxious about it but Kody was comfortable around them from the very start. Ellie gave me updates once per day and by the second day, Kody seemed to feel at home with her which was a huge weight off my mind. She was also very accommodating of his/our routine and she did everything she could to allow Kody to feel comfortable during his stay with her. I'd book with her again in a heartbeat!

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
