“Michele was wonderful! She sent darling pics of all the fun our dog was having walking near the beach and playing in their backyard. I can highly recommend Michele and will definitely use her again!! 5-STAR!”
“Melissa and Kellie were wonderful! Maggie got so comfy so fast she even made sure to give some lovings to them before jumping in our car to leave. We felt some comfortable going on vacation with Maggie in their care and would love to book with them in the future even though we don’t live in the area.”
“Marcia did an excellent job taking care of Tuka! I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her family both when I left him and picked him up. Loved all the pictures she sent! We will definitely use her again!”
“I’m so happy we found Karen, she takes such amazing care of our Goldie and sends us lots of updates. It definitely calms our anxiety (which is high!!) when we have to leave her! It’s also such a relief that Goldie has Juni to hang out with, such a sweet girl.”
“Karissa was an amazing sitter for our dog Benny! She was super communicative from the start. We did a meet and greet to make sure everything would go ok beforehand and she asked plenty of questions about Benny’s care and routine to make sure he’s be happy and comfortable. She updated us throughout his stay and sent photos of him happily walking around out and about, as well as relaxing inside. It’s clear he had a great stay! Thanks Karissa!”
“Karen was great! Our dog had the best time and made lots of new friends. Karen provided daily updates and was very communicative. I hope we can use her again, and would highly recommend to others!”
“Anna was amazing! She was so flexible with timing and easy to get a hold of. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated! My pup seemed very comfortable and safe with her!! I would definitely recommend Anna!”
“Julie was great! This was the first time we left our dog Bitsy with a sitter, and Julie kept us constantly updated, putting our minds at ease. She took great care of her, and Bitsy enjoyed the beautiful house and fenced-in yard.”
“Phoebe loved Andrea & Bob from the moment she met them! She made herself completely at home right from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos throughout her stay and could see how happy and well cared for she was. We've already tried to schedule another date with them!”
“Ruby had a great time at Caitlin B.’s house. She got along well with Caitlin’s dogs and loved hanging out with her sons. Caitlin is a very special woman who is kind and loving and is so easy to work with. It was a pleasure to meet her and trust Ruby to her care.”
“Millie had a terrific weekend. A shy dog, Maria took the time to integrate her into her family activities. She came back happy, bathed and exhausted from her weekend. Maria was also very accommodating with our schedule- we dropped off early and picked up earlier than planned. She was gracious and helpful. Maria also sent great pictures of Millie from her weekend - which were passed around the table at the graduation dinner.”
“Stephen took extra sweet care of my bulldog Stella. Fantastic and frequent communicator, I truly appreciate the updates and pictures of Stella throughout her stay. 100% would recommend Stephen and consider for future Cape boarding needs!”
“Harlow had such a great stay with Caitlin! Caitlin kept in strong contact with us throughout Harlow’s stay, which was very nice. All in all, a super great experience!”
“Another great stay! My dog likes going to Marc's so much that it's a vacation for her, too, when I go out of town. She is getting a little older and has multiple medications. Marc is very committed to understanding and meeting her specific needs. He takes great pictures, and even put a coat on her for chilly walks. (I had forgotten to bring her coat.) He was very understanding with a delay in her pick-up time. He's the best!”
“Alyne was a great host for my dog, Bella. When you see how relaxed a dog is after a stay, you know the host treated your dog well, as was the case with Alyne. Bella seemed to get along with her dog, Bruce, which made the stay even better. Bella had lots of room to run around. I would definitely board Bella with Alyne again.”
“Madaket was fantastic, we arrived at the property and my dog Olympia started sprinting around with her dog Millie. The property was also very large, which gave Olympia plenty of room to enjoy herself. Madaket sent several pictures and videos throughout the day. There is nothing better than feeling confident that your dog doesn’t miss you because you know they are having such a good time ?! I’d be happy to leave Olympia there any time! Plus she gave Olympia a little blue bandana ?”
“Margie is the best pet sitter ever. It was love at first sight with her and my most 70lb, strong sporto dog (who is also sensitive and hates being alone…). She kept in such good contact with me, took Hugo on amazing walks, sent me daily updates and photos (with my dog calmly smiling!) :) . If my dog could talk, he’d have asked to stay with her forever! I think we both made a lifelong friend. Thank you!”
