We thought our energetic Border Collie mix might spend her vacation with Christine feeling sad and anxious, but Wiggly loved Christine's comfortable home and she especially loved socializing with the other canine guests. She played so hard with her new friends that Christine had to call occasional time outs! We will definitely book with Christine again.

I’m so thankful to have found a perfect place for my dog to stay for an extended period of time. Jax is a unique pup with his own tendencies and quirks. He is a bit high energy and grumpy but he was well accommodated and loved during has stay despite his quirks. He got very comfortable and it was much better then boarding him a facility!! I look forward to boarding Jax again!

Isabelle was very responsive during my older yorkie’s weekend stay and sweet to my shy pup. Her flexibility made coordinating pick up and drop off quick and convenient. I’ll definitely use Isabelle any time our girl needs taking care of when we’re out of town!

You'd be hard pressed to find a more attentive and loving Rover sitter than Heather! This is the second time I boarded my dog with her and she was just as much of a delight as the first time. With Heather, you can expect daily photo updates of your dog, quick responses to text messages, and a relaxing environment for your pet. I've already booked my dog's next stay with her!

Alyce took great care of our Henry and he really enjoyed himself while we were out of town. She was patient and kind with him, allowing him to break out of his shell at his own pace. We would definitely recommend Alyce and her sweet family & felt at peace and confident in her care. I know he also really enjoyed his time in her backyard.

Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard

Allie and Monty have built an extraordinarily beautiful bond with Aria, offering her a loving holiday family and an at once relaxing & refreshing vacation while we have to visit Colombia for 12 days. Allie is attentive and timely, responsive and responsible. We can always count on waking up and going to sleep with a cute video and multiple snapshots of Aria fast asleep or busy being mischievous. Both doodles, Aria and Monty found themselves synergically synchronized, a companionship in which we found further solace and soundness of mind, adding to Allie’s model guardianship. We cannot recommend Allie and Monty enough!

Nicole was a wonderful sitter for my Dingles - so much so that I wish I could give her more stars. This was the first time Dingles stayed with Nicole and I was a little apprehensive. But I soon started getting behavioral updates and great pictures. My dog looked happy with her new pack at Nicole’s’. I will certainly use Nicole in the future without any worries.

Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!

Grecia was wonderful! I'm very anxious about leaving my special needs dog with strangers, and due to my regular sitter being unavailable and a time mix up on my part, I ultimately had to leave my boy with Grecia for a week without ever having met her. She was receptive to my excessively detailed instructions, sent regular updates and pictures, and overall took amazing care of him. I'm so relieved to have found her!

Megan did a wonderful job with my dog Loki. She communicated very well and gave plenty of updates (and great pictures!) while boarding. I really appreciated the help and flexibility as I booked close to the drop off date. Loki seemed very comfortable and had plenty of walks with Megan. She was also diligent in administering my dog’s medication daily. I would be happy to book with her again!

Frederick was an excellent sitter for my Scotty, probably the best I could recommend. He was very caring and kind to my dog and fit his style and energy levels to Scotty’s needs! He is also great at managing anxiety in animals as I know my dog tends to have those issues. I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing a sitter!

Lidia and Luis were AMAZING! Both with our beloved fur-baby as well as with us. They were both very communicative and provided us with updates and pictures. We honestly have never had a boarding experiance with any other sitters where our little guy didnt come home either thinner, because he wasn't eating, or depressed, because he was missing us. Our fuzz ball came home from Lidia and Luis as if HE was the one that went on a cruise and ate from the buffet and played and enjoyed his time with Lidia and Luis everyday. We will definitely be calling on them again in the future for our pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Lidia and Luis for taking such good care of Charlie! <3
