“Heather and her family were great! 😊 They always kept me updated about my dog and were very accommodating and professional. We left our dog for 18 days, and I was never worried even once because I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. You can really tell how much they genuinely cared for and loved our dog while we were away. Our dog was happy, healthy, and very well taken care of. Will definitely come back!”
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”
“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”
“Faustine took good care of our dog and we enjoyed the photo updates she was sending us! We also appreciated how quickly she responded to our messages and addressed any questions we had. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“Lucia is amazing! My 13 yr year old has so much anxiety and has never been away from home. I always had someone come to the house. Lucia comforted Bella and Luna played outside in her big fenced in yard with her. Got pictures daily and Bella had a great stay. Thank you Lucia for taking such care of my Bella.”
“Nataliya was great about sending lots of pictures each day. Our dog had lots of outside playtime and looked so happy in the videos - even pictures of him snuggling on the couch. He was in good hands. ?”
“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”
“My dog was so happy, it was a perfect fit for him with the outside space and other dogs to play with. Greta was a great communicator as well and really appreciated having Manu there.”
“Bo had an amazing time with Andrea and her family and dog!! He didn’t even look back when they picked him up - will continue to book with Andrea during future travels”
“Heather was very quick to respond when I was looking for a dog sitter. She is very responsive and always kept me updated! My dog had a little upset stomach and she did give him some pumpkin puree :) I would definitely rebook with Heather and highly recommend!!”
“John and Susan were absolutely amazing. my dog Pearl has been with us for five years and we’ve never boarded her out and we’ve never brought her to a doggy daycare or anything like that. I knew I didn’t want to bring my dog to a place that keeps her crated or in a kennel type situation. John and Susan treated Perl the exact way we treat her 💤🛌 sleeping in our bed, sleeping or in our lap, loving us, kissing us, going for walks, cuddle time spoiling her with treats. I would highly recommend John and Susan and little Miss Emily. They were so great with communication to let me know how she was doing, taking pictures and that just helped ease our minds so much…”
“Susan was amazing. Our dog doesn’t spend much time without us so we knew he would be a bit anxious being away from home. He was so happy at Susan’s. She sent us pictures and updates which was so nice. Thank you, Susan for welcoming Diezel and taking such good care of him.”
“I highly recommend Julia and Connor! We overnight boarded our dog for 1 night with them and they were great with her! She was spoiled rotten. I got tons of updates with pictures and she played non-stop with their adorable dog, Mango! Their yard is so pretty with a large fenced in space for running around. 10/10 experience! We definitely plan to leave Millie with them again soon.”
“Jodie took excellent care of my dog, Gremlin. She made sure he was walked and well-fed. He received a good brushing, along with a change of outfit. Jodie treated him like he was her own. We will definitely be booking again soon!”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“Our dog seemingly had the best stay with Nicole! Our dog was exhausted coming home after playing so much with the other dogs. Nicole was great with communication and we appreciate her taking care of our girl. Thanks so much Nicole!”
