1. Leo B.

“Leo gave my dog an amazing vacation while I was on vacation! I received daily pics and videos that gave me peace of mind while away. My dog went hiking and did many activities to keep her happy. I would highly recommend Leo as a sitter. Most importantly, he cared for her very well! Thanks Leo!”


2. Ashley M.

“This was a great experience for our dog Lily, and therefore for us as well. This was our first time leaving our 3 year old golden, so we were a little apprehensive until we met Ashley and her 2 great dogs. We were gone for over a week and we never worried about our dog; we knew she was a good hands and getting lots of attention and great care. Ashley sent us pictures, videos, and updates. This was the first time Lily really had extended play with other dogs plus Ashley's kids; it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and probably didn't want to leave :-) Couldn't have asked for better care or a better experience. We highly recommend Ashley and hope to use her again soon!”


3. Monica M.

“My dog augie loves going to Ricks! I am a nurse and I work odd hours, and he is always so accommodating with my pick up and drop offs!! I can’t recommend him enough!”




6. Dana S.

“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”


7. Megan S.

“Megan and family were great with Rue. They kindly opened up their home for Christmas. Rue was a good boy, loved their dog and kids but he especially loved Megan. I will definitely be reaching out to Megan next time. Thank you so much for taking care of my good boy. I appreciated the communication and pictures you shared.”




8. Kathleen K.

“Kathleen took such good care of our puppy, we joked that she might not want to come home! She took our puppy on daily walks, always made sure she was comfortable and was a really great communicator. We received pictures and videos daily of our dog’s activities, which we loved. Thank you, Kathleen. Highly recommend.”


9. Ryan N.

“Ryan is absolutely wonderful, I almost want to gatekeep him. You can tell how much he just loves dogs, my dog has a great time with him at the park and we appreciate the picture and video updates! I get so nervous leaving my baby but feel better when shes with Ryan and his dogs”

11. Rachel & Mike H.

“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”

Amanda sent wonderful pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Chase will definitely be staying with Amanda again in the future!”

I was able to relax and not worry and enjoyed my trip. I will definitely be booking them again!”


19. Valerie Lynn W.

20. Nelia & Brett M.


“The communication before and during the stay was excellent. It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!”
