âDanielle had my two ECS for over a week. One is 13, one will be 2. Father and son. While we were away, she kept in contact and sent photos. When we returned, the boys were happy and looked very well cared for. Danielle is a good choice and we have booked now for two more long trips and one two day with the addition of a Golden Retriever buddy.â

âHeidi has a perfect set up for our pup and she was very friendly and kept us up to date with pictures. He made a dog friend and had a blast, came home tired from all the fun. Canât go wrong here!â


âFitz loves staying with Marna! She handles socializing with other doggos like a pro. And she keeps us from worrying about him by sending updates each day.â

âKimberly was absolutely fantastic!! She sent lots of pictures and had great communication. I could tell she took excellent care of my doggo and he was so happy at pick up. He has his quirks, but she clearly knew how to handle them and was completely unbothered by them. Will definitely be using her again when back in the area!â

âChristina took great care of our dog! She provided fantastic photos and updates so we felt at ease. Itâs clear how much she loves animals; highly recommend and will use her again in the future.â

âKrista was very caring and nurturing towards our five month old pup. She kept us up to date with messages, pictures and videos of his well being during this process with our very attached and anxious pup. Auggie was very affectionate towards Krista at pickup. Could not have asked for a better person to take care of our sweet Auggie. Highly recommended!!! Will continue to use Krista.â

âLily was wonderful! She sent many great pictures of my pup having so much fun. We are looking forward to having her watch Lucy when we go on vacation I am confident Lily will take great care of Lucy while we are away.â


âAmy was great with my two Bernedoodles. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and she made sure to send lots of pics that made me feel better. She was great at communicating and I would definitely board my dogs with her again.â

âBaxter had such a great stay with Anne, we love her. This was my first time boarding him, he's a nervous but very social young rescue. He had so much fun playing with Anne's dogs and was so comfortable with Anne. There is a beautiful yard and a very comfortable house they have the run of. I got lots of pictures and updates! We'll definitely be boarding here again!â

âAmanda took great care of Nugget during our vacation week. Her entire family, including their dog Rosie, welcomed him and made him feel at home. We appreciated the photos and messages Amanda sent us throughout the week. Her frequent communication gave us peace of mind knowing Nugget was well cared for. We look forward to his stay next summer. Thank you Amanda!â
