Paul and his fiancée were amazing! Our dog was comfortable in their home right away. They cared for him like their own and I can’t thank them enough. Will definitely use them again.

I cannot recommend Kali for you enough! SHE IS A GEM! My first time sitting my dog was a terrible experience and I was terrified to sit him again but a family emergency popped up and I came across her profile. Her house is clean and she was so nice during the meet and greet, my dog Smokie adores her. Not only did she go over plans on what to do with Smokie while we were away but wrote down a detailed list of everything we told her which sits out in her home in case an emergency happened on her end that anyone coming to watch her own dogs and our dog would know exactly what he needed. She also provided us with all of her emergency contacts so we knew anyone who may be in her home. She also has close contact with the vets in the area if something should happen with our pet. She is amazingly organized and prepared. The dogs have plenty of space to roam and she even had a quiet room for the dogs that can’t roam if she had to pop out of the house and can’t bring the dogs. I will never even consider another sitter after booking with her because they all pale in comparison!

Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Oh my gosh, Shaky had the most wonderful time with Katie and her family. She came back in perfect condition and she is a dog with a delicate Gastro track. They even took her hiking with permission. Would recommend them highly as pet sitters! !

Caroline is very communicative & friendly. She invited us over for a meet & greet beforehand to ensure Lilly would be comfortable and would get along with her dog Louie. She provided great care for Lilly and sent lots of pictures and messages to let us know how things were going. I would definitely recommend her and will be bringing Lilly back again very soon!

Second adventure for Charlotte at their place and second great experience! I think Charlie would rather be here than home since she gets to romp around with so many friends and other happy doggos. If we go out of town, or if we just want to drop for doggy daycare, this is the place we will always check first!

I had such a great experience with Adaira! This was my first time leaving my kitten, and I was a little nervous, but they made me feel totally at ease. Communication was excellent from start to finish they checked in, sent photos and updates, and were quick to respond to any messages. It was clear my kitten was well cared for and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the extra attention and care they gave. I’d absolutely recommend Adaira to anyone looking for a compassionate pet sitter.

Our dogs, having never been boarded before, did well with James and family. My GSD is "fear aggressive" and James took right over when we got there. I knew she was going to be in good hands. And our new 5 month old poodle fit right in with the family. Our GSD loves kids and loved being with their daughters. They took the time to bathe and trim our poodle. They fixed the bad job I did on her! We will use James and family again. Glad we found James.

Maria and Jose took great care of our girl. They instantly made us feel comfortable and asked great questions to understand all her needs. They sent us tons of videos/pics throughout her stay which put us at ease knowing she was having a blast playing with their dogs and going on walks. I highly recommend them as they were great with our puppy.

If you want to leave your furry friend(s) with folks that will treat him/her/them like one of the family reach out to Ann & Jaren! This was our first time ever boarding our dog, Opal. The experience could not have gone better. The initial meeting with Jaren, drop off, communication during the week, and pick up was AMAZING! We received pictures and videos of her playing and being cuddled. We could tell Opal was having a blast with her new friends, which allowed us to relax with no worries. We will definitely be using them again in the future.

Lacie is amazing! Our 2 year old Cockapoo Otis has been going to her house for the past 3+ months for both day care and overnight visits. Lacie is kind and very intuitive with animals. She provided Otis with a wonderful home environment while we were away. He absolutely loves playing with her son and her own friendly pets. Thank you Lacie for all the wonderful care you gave our pup!

This was my pup Luna’s first time being boarded and Nancy went above and beyond all my expectations of what I thought pet boarding can be. She was able to accommodate Lunas specific needs, and put my mind at ease by keeping me present throughout her stay with pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting without me. Nancy’s patience, care and love she provided to Luna was very evident when I picked her up. I would trust Nancy to take care of Luna again in a heartbeat. If you’re ever considering boarding your baby, I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough! 10/10

Amanda did a great job caring for my little senior who turned out to be a more challenging pet sit than anticipated. With his dementia and strong separation anxiety since the loss of his brother, apparently he was not an ideal house guest. Amanda managed it and provided honest feedback.
