“Energetic border who clearly loves dogs and has 2 of her own that clearly welcome another into the pack. Dog comes back wiped out from walks and playtime at the rural house with plenty of room. Can't recommend Hailey high enough.”


“Jina and her family are wonderful people who care so much about animals. It was a huge relief to have them watch our two dogs while we were out of town. Absolutely trusted them to keep our boys safe and out of trouble. :)”


“Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!!”


“Michelle, Lino & Nico were very nice! They took care of my pup and made sure he was enjoying his stay. When I picked up my pup, he looked so happy! Thank you for your amazing care!! I would definitely come back to Michelle, Lino & Nico for their service.”


“Ximadra took excellent care of our two English Bulldogs! She sent us daily updates with photos and videos. We definitely plan to contact her again next time!”


“Her professionalism and genuine love for animals made Tulip and I feel comfortable righy away. Adi took the time for us to do a meet up before hand and while away she sent pics/updates which put my mind at ease. When I picked Tulip up it was obvious she had loved her stay. Thank you for taking care of my girl. I’ll definitely be keeping in touch.”


“Joselyn took great care of Sebastian! I appreciated the messages and photos to let me know how his stay was going, and it always looked like he was having tons of fun. Highly recommend!”

“My dog boarded at Karina’s house for 1 night. I met with her prior to introduce my dog and tour her place. Karina is awesome and very accommodating! I will definitely board my dog again. Thank you!”


“Lillie was the absolute best. She was very communicative and Buck completely warmed up to her and her fury pets. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again”


“Our Bailey had a vacation of her own at Kristal’s home. She was given lots of attention and enjoyed a perfect backyard oasis. Kristal sent pictures everyday and communicated quickly and kindly. We did not have one worry! We will absolutely send Bailey on her mini vacation to Kristal’s home again.”


“Friendly and flexible!! Paulette was great to our pups and bent over backwards to take care of us despite our last minute notice for the holidays. Will rebook!!”


“Nelson was great with my pup kids, we got updates regularly and took care of Andy and Shadow as if they were his own. I would recommend him and I can’t recommend him enough.”


“Kimberly took special care of Del, my dog, who has trust issues coming from a hoarder situation with little contact with humans. Her taking one dog at a time is a plus for Del or most dogs who are needing to board. Her dog, Daisy, is sweet and non threatening. Kimberly gave the space Del needed when he was with her and Daisy. If I need Del boarded in Merced I will use her again.”


“Kristin and Javier took such amazing care of our pup Peter Barker. He absolutely loved Watson and every minute of his time on his vacation. They were great to send us lots of updates and adorable photos. We truly were scared to leave Peter but knew he was in great hands. I would highly recommend them for any sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”


“This was my first experience leaving my puppy for a long time period. When I dropped him off Joni was so nice and walked me around their house and explained everything to me and kept ensuring me that he would be perfectly fine. I got updates from Joni almost every other day on how he was doing and what he was getting himself into. When I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave his new friends. Joni was nice enough to bath and dry him to get out the dirt that he had been playing in. All in all, Hercules had a great time and I felt comfortable having him there, will definitely book again for the future.”


“Awesome boarding experience! I really appreciated the frequent pics and videos. I felt that my dog was safe and happy at Tracey's farm! Will definitely contact her for future needs!!”


“Thank you for having Wolfgang at your home, he seemed well-adjusted and happy while we were away! I am happy he was able to make friends! The updates and pics sent helped ease my mind about leaving him to go on holiday.”


“Jori is an absolute dog lover! She is patient, kind, and highly responsible. Her dog, Duncan, is super sweet and will love playing or snuggling with your dog. My dog adores both her and Duncan and is always thrilled to see them. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Our golden doodle had a wonderful time at Nikita's! She sent pictures and messages every day, which always put me at ease. She supplied her with toys, and treats to keep her occupied, and unstressed, even sending a favorite back home with Sadie! Nikita is the perfect dog Mom sitter! One of the best things, is she only takes a couple extra dogs at a time, so she is able to give undivided attention to them! Thanks so much Nikita!!”
