“We could not have imagined anyone better than Mimi and Terrell to have watched our sweet Nico. They truly treat their pups as family and extended that to ours. Throughout the week we received constant updates via photo and video and could tell that Nico felt right at home and loved being there so much. We will choose them anytime we need someone to watch our pup because we know he will be safe and loved there always.”
“Kimberly was super good with my dog Phoebe, sent daily updates and took great care of her. She was very accommodating and worked around our vacation schedule. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Dillon was great! I’ve never left my puppy before but he made sure to send me pictures and updates during my mini weekend trip. He let my Bo play with his dogs and took him for walks. He’s someone Id recommend to others and will definitely use him again.”
“Caitlin was phenomenal. My little dog has a complicated food and medicine regimen. She cannot walk. What was also really great is that Prin, who loves attention, got a lot of it. She and the cat bonded quickly. Caitlin's children loved Prin, and showered her with love. I asked Caitlin if she would give Prin a bath, and she did. Prin has a sore on her leg, and Caitlin did a wonderful job of keeping it clean. I highly recommend Caitlin.”
“We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.”
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“We were able to rest well on our vacation, knowing our senior dog was in good hands. Jackie was attentive to her needs and made sure she was loved on while we were away.”
“Danielle loves animals and you can tell! She was wonderful to work with and kept us up to date on our Daisy with great photos and stories. Go with Danielle—she’s a sweetheart!”
“Taylor is truly a gem! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. Her home and yard are not only clean and welcoming but also perfectly set up to be dog-friendly and safe—Diamond and Tiny felt right at home. She kept me updated with frequent communication, sending the sweetest videos and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Seeing my furbabies relaxed, playful, and happy in her care really meant the world to me. I could tell they enjoyed being with her—and that’s all the reassurance I needed. I didn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pups like family, I can’t recommend Taylor enough! —Litisha”
“Brian took care of my 6 month old puppy over Labor Day weekend. He sent pictures of her playing and going on walks. She was allowed to snuggle in bed and make herself at home. I would definitely use him in the future to care for our fur baby. Thank you Brian!”
“Miranda came through for us in the last second when someone cancelled 2 days before our trip. Appreciate that so much. She sent constant updates of the pups and what they were up to and my dogs came and crashed which tells me they had a blast based on the pics and how tired they were :) Thanks Miranda!”
“Alex is a sweet and kind person. I’m grateful she was able to accommodate Pepper for the length of time I needed. This was the longest I’ve had to leave him but after receiving information he was adjusting, I was at ease and knew he was in great hands.”
“Zeus seemed like he did not want to leave when it was time to pick him up lol. Bina was wonderful. The daily updates abd pictures were awesome. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Tammy was amazing! Our dog loved hanging with her sweet and playful dog, Bugsy, and lounging with her cats. We got daily updates which helped us feel relaxed while we were away. We will definitely use her in the future. Thank you for everything!!”
“This is the second time we have used Peggy to watch our dog, and he was excited to see her and her husband. She will be our go-to for future boarding needs. Our dog was well cared for, and Peggy sent daily text updates.”
“Pallvi and her family were great with Teddy! He had some last-minute medical issues and they were fabulous about adjusting their care to administer medication and keep an eye on his health. They were prompt with their communication and Teddy came home tired and happy. Thank you for taking such great care of Teddy!”
“Lizzie was a perfect caretaker for our 7 year old golden doodle! She sent pictures, videos and communicated the perfect amount during our dog’s stay. We will booking with her again!”
“Last minute trip out of town and Keith was able to watch our dog. Very professional. Discussed her routine and likes/dislikes to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Very flexible on pickup time, which saved us a trip. We will use him again without hesitation. Thanks Keith!”
