“John was super prompt in responding to my initial query about dog-sitting, and incredibly communicative while we were away. It was wonderful to receive daily pictures of my dog running around in his yard with his dogs. I recommend wholeheartedly!!!”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“My 4 month old pup loved staying with them for four days!! They sent me so many pictures and videos to help ease my first time being away from him. They were patient with his puppy energy and took great care of him! I will definitely be reaching out to them for future boardings! Thank you!!!”
“Marine and Roland immediately put our minds at ease with their pics of Emma and all the attention they gave to her at meet and greet. They stayed in constant contact with us and we knew Emma was in good hands and looked very relaxed and comfortable. Highly recommend Marine and Roland for any pet watch. Will definitely use again.”
“We can't thank Natalie & Patrick enough for the great care and love they showed Ziggy while they were watching him! They provided us with great updates throughout his stay with them. It was so nice to know that our pup was in great hands and having a great time. Their dog is also a great companion and Ziggy had a blast having a friend to hang out with during his stay!”
“Could not recommend Kayla more. My dog is getting up there in years and needs more specialized care, and I felt super comfortable leaving her with Kayla. She clearly has a ton of experience and, just aa importantly, absolutely loves dogs. She also sent tons of pictures which I always appreciate.”
“Wonderful people and place to watch our dog. He’s big and full of energy and they have space for him to run, dogs to play and people to love on him. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”
“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”
“We met a few weeks earlier because Gigi is a nervous little thing. Amanda was great. Sent an update a few hours after we dropped Gigi off. Love to be able to use her again should we ever need to”
“Christopher was an excellent sitter for our elderly dog Emilie. This was our first time with him, and he was super flexible with our constantly changing schedule. He sent photos daily, kept us informed about how she was doing, and when my husband picked her up, she did not seem anxious to leave. At all! The home is lovely, nice big fenced yard, and their dog is a sweetheart.”
“Second time using Brooke and will use her again as often as I can. She's fantastic. Smooth pickup/drop-off, great communication, and just makes everything easy. On top of that, my pup has a great time hanging with her dog Bailey and going on long daily walks. She brought me back a tired and happy pup! Thanks Brooke!”
“Great communication and wonderful accommodations for our senior pup. Sent photos daily. Exceedingly kind demeanor (if I was local, no doubt I would grab a beer with him). We really appreciate that he sits one dog at a time.”
“I'm so happy and grateful for Chelsey to take care of my rather demanding dog, Ziggy:) Her household is filled with love. Hearing and seeing that Ziggy had a great time with her kids and pets gave me a big relief. I highly recommend her care for anyone looking for a lovely and caring place to keep their pets. She shared pictures of Ziggy throughout his stay:) THANK YOU!”
“Emily was simply the BEST! From the very first message, she was very communicative, flexible and so responsive. Through my dogs stay, she send pictures and updates. It seems like he had the best time!! 10/10 recommend Emily and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Sarah was as fabulous as all of the reviews I read said! Her home and property are so welcoming and every dog's dream: Plenty of room to play! Sarah is kind and really seems to love dogs, and she gives lots of attention. My Walter immediately went to bed as soon as I picked him up from his two nights there, he was so tired from all of the fun! I especially loved the photos Sarah shared with me of their morning walk- it was nice to see Walt enjoying himself. I can't recommend Sarah highly enough!”
