“Haley was wonderful with our dog Cody. She sent daily updates and was very responsive with questions when setting up Cody’s stay. Cody was in great hands during his multi-day stay.”
“Eleanor has been an excellent care taker. Rocky had a blast ?, enjoyed his time. She shared lots of photos and videos of rocky. We are sure to ask her again for her excellent service when needed.”
“I would leave my fur babies with Bethany again in a heart beat! She and her son took excellent care of lily and Liam. They had a great time snuggling with them and they were able to meet new fur friends which they really needed since they don’t get a chance to play with other dogs since this messy Covid started!”
“Adriana is not only an amazing dog sitter but such a caring person. She completely went out of her way to help us in a pinch. She took great care of Max sent plenty of pictures with updates throughout his extended stay. Your pup will be treated like family here. We are repeat visitors and will continue to use Adriana for all of Max’s boardings.”
“Joseph and Alexandra have taken amazing, above-and-beyond care of my dog. She is so happy when we go, and loves playing with their dogs. They are excellent communicators and we get frequent updates when she is there. I’m so happy that our pup has found a home away from home.”
“Simone is wonderful. She treats our schnauzer as part of her family. We have depended on her to care for our pup several times and will call on her repeatedly in the future.”

“Misael did a great job with our two large german shepherds. He sent me an update daily and took them on numerous walks. He was even willing to let us pick them up late at night since our flights came in late. We appreciate him and would recommend!”
“Natasha was amazing, I was extremely on the edge as my stay was a longer stay.She ensured my dog was comfortable and followed up and provided daily updates.I will soon be rebooking. So glad I found her. Thanks a ton Natasha.”
“Erin and her family were wonderful and took such great care of Sammie. We were kept updated and pictures were sent a few times a day which we loved as well as the morning video. Erin is great with giving Sammie her medications and getting her to eat all of her food which is sometimes a challenge for Sammie in new environments. An all around great experience, we look forward to having Sammie stay with Erin again!”
“Ashley watched our puppy for 8 days and took exceptional care of him! He's a little nervous/fearful but seemed so comfortable with Ashley. We got lots of pics and updates and didn't worry about him at all. I'd absolutely recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Wally had a wonderful time with Charlie & his humans Bule & Justin! He’s a return visitor and is already dreaming of his next play date with Charlie!! Great communication and all around fantastic experience. Thanks Bule, Justin & Charlie 🐶❤️”
“Megan was great! We came from out of town for an extended stay, and wanted to take a one day excursion without our dog Bentley. Even knowing it was likely to be a one-time dog-sitting opportunity - or at least very occasional - Megan was very responsive, arranged a meeting with her dog in advance, and when the day came, the two dogs and Megan all got along great! Bentley seemed happy to see us but reluctant to leave when we picked him up! And we got a lot of feedback and pictures during both days of his one-night stay. If the opportunity comes up again, we'll definitely turn to Megan again, too!”
“Bridget went above and beyond loving and caring for our 2 dogs for a week. We had constant pictures and updates and felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were happy and safe. Her fenced in backyard was large and beautiful, perfect for running around! Our pups enjoyed couch time and cuddling up in bed at night…just like at home! Overall a great experience with Bridget…highly recommend…we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in good hands.”
“We left our 20 month bullmastiff with Denise for a week. From the moment we met her we were comfortable. She has a great fenced in yard and appears tuned into her charges. I would most definitely leave Rocco with her without hesitation. .”
“Was great experience, Leigh took care of Milo very well and her family were very welcoming to Milo , he loved them all and they did , he was happy . For certain I will use her again when needed and I recommend her to others .”
