“First time we have boarded our dogs overnight but everything worked out great! Christina kept us informed, sent photos, videos and updates throughout the day. She was very respectful of our instructions and concerns for our pets. We look forward to using her again and recommend her highly.”


“My dog can be pretty shy but warmed up so quickly to Kaylee! Kaylee was super communicative and accommodating and sent lots of pictures and updates during our stay. Would love to use Kaylee again in the future!”


“Craig was very accommodating and absolutely amazing with my dog hazel! She’s normally a littler tentative around men but she immediately took to him. He sent frequent updates and great photos including a video of hazel snoring in his lap. By the time we picked her up I’m not sure she wanted to leave.”


“Lacey was a fantastic sitter. She was very flexible with letting us pick up Ursy for day trips. Ursy was very happy to have playtime with Lacey’s other dogs, and he *almost* didn’t even miss us! 😀”


“Tonya took great care of our little dog, Key while we were away for the week. She sent us photos and updates. Our dog looked well taken care of when we picked him up. We are planning on bringing him back again when we go on vacation.”


“Our dogs had such a wonderful weekend with Marissa and her family! They take such great care of our pups and make sure they get lots of attention and stimulation. Marissa sends updates and photos every day that help ease our minds while we are away! We couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Samson had a wonderful visit with Eugene and Gail. We loved getting lots of pictures of our boy while we were gone. We will definitely use them again! Thank you Eugene & Gail!!”


“Eliot helped us out last minute to watch our dog when we were away from home. She made her comfortable and put us at ease knowing she was in a place where she was well cared for and happy. Thank you Eliot!”


“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”


“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”


“Makaylah was absolutely wonderful. I needed very last minute overnight accommodations for my pup, and ended up needing an extra day of care. Makaylah was so kind and flexible. My dog (who is often nervous with new people for a few minutes) took to her immediately, and it made me feel so comfortable leaving her, and I got morning and evening texts with sweet pictures and updates on how she was doing. I would highly recommend Makaylah to anyone!”


“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog. Chelsea sent updates and pictures and we always knew that Hazel was in the best care while we were on vacation. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Her and her family were so nice to my dog Hudson & I. On very short notice, she took care of my dog while I am battering a serious head cancer. I cannot say enough kind things about them, and thanks towards them. My dog was happy & well cared for when I picked him up.”


“Charles and Christina are awesome!!! They took such great care of my girl. She had fun with friends and got spoiled?. I will definitely use them from here on out!”


“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She made sure to update us during his stay and sent pictures as well. She was even able to drop him off for us at the end of his stay which helped us so much! She's absolutely going to be someone we reach out to again!”


“I don't often leave 5 star reviews, but Amberlynn keyed in to our needs to make Henry's stay with them wonderful. I have a highly reactive dog, and was extremely nervous to leave him with someone, but she had great communication with me leading up to his stay and handled his behavior wonderfully, but of more importance, she also keyed into what I needed to ensure both he, and they, were comfortable together so I could relax and enjoy my vacation without stressing over how he was doing there. We had a lot of communication on the onset to calm my nerves, and once I knew he and they were settled comfortably, we had a few "he's doing great" check ins. Not only would I highly recommend her for her care of my dog, I would also highly recommend her for calmly dealing with an anxious owner.”


“A wonderful family who you can feel very comfortable with them watching your dog. They have a huge, beautiful farm and several super friendly dogs of their own. Their daughter Britta was our Milo’s best friend while there. Highly recommended!”



“Our pup, McMurphy, had an excellent time with Katie! She wasn't phased by any of the extra challenges of working with a puppy and we're really grateful to have found someone who cares so much for dogs and is so easy to work with. Thanks for helping his first stay away from us go so smoothly!”


“Nikki was fantastic! I felt very comfortable having her take care of Clover for a couple days. Her property is perfect for a dog that's used to being off leash and Clover even had a friend to play with while she was there. Nikki sent plenty of updates, pictures, and video which was perfect because I missed my baby! I would absolutely recommend Nikki to anyone that needs a pet sitter ?.”


“What a wonderful place! The Ponderosa for dogs. Susan was so good with him and took him out on long walks in the woods with her own friendly dog along. Stratton was happy, and active, and I felt he was in a safe, trusted place with friends. Highly recommend Susan and her Ponderosa (not a human size Ponderosa, but dog size Ponderosa).”
