“Megan was wonderful to my older dog and made sure he was comfortable and happy! Highly recommend her to take care of pups and Potato can’t wait to go back and see her again!”
2. Julie & Jensen S.
“Julie was great with my two girls and even hand fed them to get them to eat. She sent several pictures during the stay, so I always felt updated.”
3. Jim & Julie P.
“Jim and Julie were above and beyond to everything. I never had to ask them how everything was going because they were on top of everything. They sent me updates, pictures and it made my heart so happy. He came home smelling good, very well cared and worn out for playing with his new friends, specially with their “welcoming “ dog, Aliza, she is a sweetie. If you want your dogs to have space to run, play and have a blast go with Jim and Julie. They are adorable and are pet lovers. If we will be back? 100 times yes. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars because they really deserve it. Thank you so much Jim and Julie you guys rock.”
4. Teigan L.
“Teigan did an amazing job watching my three German shepherds. They had an amazing time and continue to wag their tails at the sight of Teigan. Definitely recommend and will be booking again”
5. Crystal B.
“I am so appreciative of Crystal and her family! They went above and beyond to care for my whiny little dachshund with anxiety. He is an intense little guy who needs regular company. I received updates and pictures and he seemed so genuinely loved, well-cared for, and spoiled. I will absolutely book another sitting with Crystal when I need someone to watch him.”
6. Bri'Anna M.
“She is amazing! She wrote everyday with pictures and videos. My puppy had so much fun he almost didn’t want to leave! I will most definitely be using her services again.”
7. Donavon V.
“Donovan was very professional and easy to work with! When our vacation plans changed a few times at the last minute, he was flexible and great with communication.”
8. Samantha G.
“Sam was incredible! We had another sitter cancel on us last minute for a 3 night stay & Sam was more than happy to step in. She sent us lots of updates with the cutest photos and Thumper came home happy & exhausted! I’m a first time dog mom & get pretty anxious leaving him, but within a couple hours I knew he was in great hands. We’ll use Sam again for sure!”
9. Megan D.
“Megan is amazing! She took care of our two pugs Rocky & Walter when we were out of town for a few days. She sent us updates with photos and gave our pugs extra care and attention. The pugs had a great time with Megan and we can’t recommend her enough to take care of your pets.”
10. Stephanie C.
“Stephanie is simply wonderful! She watched my elderly dog named Cosmo for 2 days on short notice, when he had just started on meds and he had limited mobility. In just a few days with her support and making sure he received his medications, he had much improved. She watched Cosmo like he was her own and shared updates all through the day including pictures. It was as if I had never left him. I feel Cosmo and I were truly blessed by her kindness. I highly recommend Stephanie to watch your fur baby. They would be loved and cared for like their owner would, if not better.”
11. Malia & Caleb B.
“Malia and Caleb did an amazing job with Bucky and Kuma! We received pictures daily, and the drop off/pickup process was very easy. Highly recommend!”
12. Megan C.
“We needed to leave Louie, our year-old Australian Shepherd, for a few days, and Megan turned out to be the perfect choice! We had a quick get-together before so she could meet Louie, and he could meet her dog. The drop-off and pick-up were easy. Throughout the week, Megan sent photos of Louie with short notes to let us know about his days. We felt like Louie had excellent care while he was with Megan. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.”
13. Aisha H.
“Aisha was great and very accommodating. She boarded Oliver even though it was kinda last minute. And she was understanding when I was late picking up Oliver due to traffic!”
14. Shania D.
“Shania is amazing I needed a sitter on a very short notice and she was willing to work with me and take my puppy last minute she sent me updates and pics so I knew he was doing good and even let him cuddle during the night 5/5 stars would definitely recommend her!”
15. Lauren B.
“My pets had never been left with anyone outside of my family before, so I was nervous about where to take them when I had to leave for an unexpected trip. Lauren did an incredible job in helping them get settled in and comfortable right off the bat. She has expert knowledge in caring for dogs and demonstrates high levels of skill and professionalism. I was able to leave town knowing that my dogs were in the best of care, and was sent photos and updates on how they were adjusting while I was away. I highly recommend Lauren for providing exceptional care of furry companions!”
16. Ashley B.
“Ashley took great care of my two dogs at her kennel. The only thing I would mention is that I had assumed she was watching them at her house when I booked her, but it was really where she is a groomer, so the dogs were kept in a kennel except during play & potty breaks. There were several other animals there. You could tell Ashley loves animals & they did great in her care.”
17. Rebecca G.
“Rebecca did great with our girl Faye! It always makes me nervous leaving her but she was totally fine and we didn't have to worry. Rebecca was great about sending pictures and updating us, so that was really nice! 😊”
18. Christopher P.
“I feel great knowing that Wily will be well taken care of when I have to leave him! Christopher is caring and kind and the pictures and updates he sends are fantastic!”
19. Natalie P.
“Eunice Jolene has never had as much love, snuggles and spoiling as she received 24/7 at Natalie’s home. She wasn’t even excited to see me when I went to pick her up…I think she wanted to stay longer. She showed no signs of stress after 10 days at Natalie’s. I received daily updates and pix during her boarding. Natalie is relaxed, flexible and an excellent communicator, attributes that made me very comfortable while I was away from my sweet dog. I will not hesitate for Eunice to stay w Natalie and her family again.”
20. AJ V.
“AJ was wonderful with Lady! He kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. When Lady got sick he contacted us right away and was able to adjust her food type. He was also flexible when we needed to add a night. We would 100% use his services again.”
