“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”

“Elizabeth and her family were such wonderful dog sitters. We have a senior dog with special needs, and they took very good care of him, giving him lots of attention and care. We very much appreciate the special care, attention, and communication. We received regular updates and if there were any health concerns, we knew immediately. I had peace of mind knowing our senior dog was well cared for and monitored closely.”
“Katrina was so great to our pup! He loved his time with her. Katrina was very detailed with her daily updates, which made me feel less nervous with leaving our pup with her. She took such great care of him. We would definitely book her again!”
“Ashley goes above and beyond for pets & their owners- dog parks, long walks, frequent updates, pictures & more! My dog can be a little anxious and he feels so comfortable with Ashley, which is a real testament to her care. Ashley has watched my dog for up to two weeks and it’s a relief to have him in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her services!”
About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup. We keep small playgroups of 15 to 20 dogs. We take hourly potty breaks, have toy playtime, outdoor mini pool pawties in the summer to keep cool, and so much more!

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

Tessa is wonderful! This was Georgie’s second stay with her, and she sends just the right amount of updates so I can enjoy my vacation without a worry. Georgie is always thrilled to see me when I pick him up…and then immediately passes out from all the fun he’s had 😊
Naomi was AMAZING with Simba! From the very start, it truly felt like she cared for him as if he were her own. She kept me updated constantly, sending me pictures and little notes about how he was doing, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell Simba was happy and comfortable the entire time he was with her. She went above and beyond in every way, and I can’t thank her enough. If you want someone who genuinely loves and cares for your pet, Naomi is 100% the one. She’s the best! 🙌
So thankful we left Olive with Camila! Olive wasn’t feeling well, and Camila took great care of her – and kept us updated the whole time so we wouldn’t worry (too much). She is responsive and adaptable, and we will definitely trust her with our pup in the future!
This was our first dog sitter experience, and Andrew was nothing but amazing. We usually do dog boarding and Andrew surpassed everything we have ever experienced. The constant communication reassured us. We received multiple pictures a day with updates on how he was doing. Our dog was very well-taken care of and loved. He took care of our dog’s specific diet, gave him lots of attention and cuddles. We were worry-free and were able to enjoy our vacation to the fullest knowing our dog was in great care. We will definitely book Andrew again. In fact, we’re reluctant to write a review for the fear of Andrew being too busy and booked up for our future vacations!
