“Julie and her husband watched our dog for 8 nights. We had a meet and greet prior to drop-off and I felt very comfortable with leaving my dog with them while we went on vacation.

We will definitely board with them again.”

Alyssa S.
“I am Alyssa’s sister and growing up she’s always had a passion for caring for animals whether they were hers, friends or family, and even strays. I believe Alyssa would be a great sitter because not only does she love animals, she makes time to research the proper care such as toxin foods/chemicals to ensure your pup is healthy and safe! Not only does Alyssa take time doing her own research she’s attended school in Veterinary Science to excel her learning and is a certified veterinary assistant. Not only does she take the time to educate herself, she works with dogs hands on everyday as a dog groomer. This proves she is trustworthy and knowledgeable in dog handling all while trying to build the best relationship with the owner and pup.”
