“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”



“Our dog, Riley had a great time with Hilary. He loved going to the dog park! I liked the fact that Hilary sent updates so I knew he was healthy and happy.”


“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”



“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”


“Matt was a wonderful host! Charlie has a blast during his stay and we enjoyed seeing all of the daily updates and photos of the fun he was having. He came home happy and tired! :-)”


“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”


“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”


“Royal and Rachelle were excellent. They are kind and we could tell took great care in our dog and the others they care for. They communicated all week long and gave us updates on our Bella. We felt 100% confident in leaving our dog with them while we were away for the week! Thank you!”


“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”


“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”


“Abby took such good care of our Ada. She welcomed her into our home while we were out of the country for two weeks. Ada was incorporated into their family. Sent pictures so we could see how happy she was! Definitely recommend Abby and will use her again!”


“Cindy did an amazing job caring for Tino and Coco. She stayed in contact and shared pictures. The dogs clearly were having a good time and felt at ease. I was impressed with how well Tino did with Cindy's other 3 dogs; it was originally a concern. Clearly she was done an amazing job socializing her dogs to accept other visiting dogs. I highly recommend her.”


“Kyla was great! She kept us updated on our pups activities and even went above and beyond when needed. Communication was crystal 10 out of 10 will book again with her!”


“Ashley did a great job with my sweet older dog. Communicative and kind, she even added an extra day, last minute, when a traffic jam made our return hours late. Thank you!!”


“Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!”


“We are so very happy to have found Amy and Happy Dog Pet Care! We just adopted our dog Petyon in September and we were worried about bringing her to a traditional kennel during our upcoming weekend away. Amy eased all of our worries! She is so wonderful with the pets she cares for and so obviously loves animals. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand so Peyton would be able to get acquainted with Amy (and Clodagh!) ahead of time, and Amy was fabulous with communicating with us before and during the trip. We loved getting text updates and looking at Facebook to see pictures of Peyton and all the fun she was having! We were so happy to see her getting so much personal attention and having such a great time. We will most definitely be using Amy's services in the future, for a weekend away or just to give Peyton some time to play with her new friends! We can't thank you enough, Amy!”
