“Happy to have found Kelsey and this is the third stay for Jammy with them. Appreciate all the care they took for Jammy and will recommend them :)”
“Marcy was great! Cooper our rambunctious 1-1/2 year Ridgeback had a blast! Daily videos of his antics with the other dogs showed lots of dog fun happening. He visited for a week and seemed lonely for a day or 2 when he got back home. He will be back!?”
“Moxie’s first overnight stay was great! Amy’s so accommodating and treats our girl like family. So happy our pup has somewhere she’s comfortable to stay”
“I could not have asked for a better dog-sitter for my sweet Ellie. Tyler was very communicative and trustworthy from the very beginning, and bonded with Ellie right away. He sent updates and photos very regularly, and was incredibly responsive to Ellie’s needs and personality. He even taught her a new trick! I had no doubt that she was happy and comfortable and very well cared for the entire time I was away. I will definitely be asking Tyler to dog-sit again !”
“Kelly & Natalie looked after my 3 month old lab puppy Huxley. They had excellent communication providing updates, pictures & videos every day. They took him on many walks & adventures. He made great friends with their pup Skookum. Huxley was one tired pup when he got home. I would highly recommend and would absolutely book again for future puppy care.”
“Lindsey was great, she took our dog on a last minute notice and took great care of him. He had medication to take and she gave him all of it everyday and sent us pictures while we were gone”
“Sara was amazing! She kept me updated with plenty of messages and pictures. My dog was happy and tired after the visit, which is always a great sign. I would definitely recommend Sara and will be booking her again in the future.”
“Karin is fabulous! She took Exceptional care of my animals! She is very professional, caring and kind. I felt peaceful knowing my animals were in her care.”
“Kristine was awesome! Would book again anytime 🥰”
“Coraline & Valentin were great watching our dog for a quick day trip! We appreciate their responsiveness, willingness to do a meet and greet and taking care of our pup.”
“Our two dogs had a great time with this couple. Sent daily updates to us which we appreciated. Nice back yard to run about in. Took them on an adventure walk as well. Well cared for by all appearances. Would absolutely use this couple again in the future.”
“Linda obviously loves dogs and took such good care of my pup. Her facilities are outstanding, very clean and well organized. She is who I will be using going forward with my new dog.”
“Sjako and his family took wonderful care of our little Emilio. His kids were so sweet and gentle with our dog and they took Emilio out for a hike as well. We appreciated the great communication and the photos of our dog while we were away. Thanks so much!”
“Janice is so great with our anxious, reactive dog who needs a little extra TLC. Our dog remembered her and knew exactly where to go when we dropped him off and he was happy and calm when we picked him up. Janice is our go-to sitter whenever we are travelling on Vancouver Island.”
“My pampered pooch is with me all the time. So when I needed care for my dog, I needed someone special and AMY was the person who did a perfect job, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away. Daily updates showed multi-pics of Minnie out in nature enjoying herself or relaxed after a fun time of play with Amy. My dog had someone 24 hrs a day. She was treated as special and that was important to me, as she is! Highly recommend Amy. Also, pickup was so easy. All belongings packed and Amy waited at the door as we text back and forth. Communication and response time also excellent.”
“Our pup was with Rejan on the hottest day of the summer so far. Rejan took the dogs for a swim to cool off and was patient with Glory’s lack of enthusiasm for the water. Rejan also gave her a good brushing to get rid of the burrs that are everywhere right now.”
“Ting and her family took wonderful care of Lewis. I received regular videos and photos to show me how much fun Lewis was having with her dog Cookie. It was easy to see how happy Lewis was! Lewis had lots of walks, a hike, and lots of play. He looked very much at home! I highly recommend Ting and her family and I am grateful to find a family I can trust to host Lewis with such care. Thank you, Ting!”
“Most amazing experience far better than boarding in a kennel . Shane is very knowledgeable even taught my dog some new tricks and manners in his short stay with her . 10/10 recommend if your looking for alternatives to boarding at a traditional kennel .”
