“I have a skittish Shepherd that goes into flight mode at loud noises and Jenny's home is far away from major roads. This gave me great peace. Sug and Diesel had a great time and I love that they were treated like family. I would recommend Boarding with Jenny.”
“Was our 1st time boarding and Jer was so patient and understanding. Loved the daily check-ins and pictures, she was understanding when we were running late picking our boy up. If we need a sitter again we will definitely choose Jer. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.”
“Another great visit at Camp Myra. Peanut played and snuggled and had a great time. Already booked for two more trips this year. Thanks Myra for taking great care of little Peanut.”
“We've used Barbra twice now and she's been just wonderful with our anxious, timid dog. She's excellent with communication and providing photo updates. I can tell Charlie enjoys his time there and I would highly recommend her!”
“This was our second time booking with Jill and Thomas, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! They took care of cucu for an entire week. They were incredibly responsive, provided daily updates (which gave us so much peace of mind), and were always quick to answer any questions we had. It’s clear they truly care about the pets they watch. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust with our pup, and we’ll definitely be booking again! :)”
“Karin, Joseph and this kids were so fantastic with our girl. Our baby is an older dog, rescue, and on some meds and they snuggled her with open arms 10/10 recommend for any pet care services. Great accommodation and communication.”
“Rackeem was awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He took excellent care of my fur babies and I highly recommend him! He provides daily updates and pictures so you can be assured your pets are safe and doing well while in his care. He's also a great trainer as well! He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.”
“Emily was awesome!!! I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my dog, Kobe, in her care! Kobe spent a week with Emily while my family vacationed in Florida, she updated me every day with pictures/videos and a quick synopsis of how Kobe’s day/night was! Kobe couldn’t have looked any happier running like a wild man in her large fenced in back yard, or on his daily walk! I truly am thankful I found Emily and will definitely use her again in the future!!! Thank you so much Emily!!!”
“Karen is truly a blessing to me when it comes to my dog sitting needs. She is so caring, friendly, organized, professional and most of all loving to my Shaka. I highly recommend Karen for all of your pet care needs. She is truly a dog whisperer and my Shaka loves her and her beautiful little Bella.”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Busara with the care of our 9-month-old kitten for five nights, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Busara demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine affection for our kitten. Throughout our trip, she kept us consistently informed, sending regular updates and photos that showcased our kitten’s well-being and playful moments. Her attentive communication provided us with peace of mind, knowing our pet was in caring and capable hands. Upon our return, it was evident that our kitten had been well-cared for, appearing content and healthy. Busara’s dedication and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Wonderful people with a great love for animals! I love the way they made my Prince feel at home and special. They sent pictures and updates to let me know that he was ok and to ease my worries. This was the best decision that I have made for my fur baby! I will use Janice and Charles again for the future.”
“First time boarding our dog Nova and Nikkita and her beautiful family took excellent care of Nova and we will definitely request that Nova return with this family again!”
“I would definitely recommend Sureya to keep your pet. My Koda is very shy, barks at most people especially men ?. When I dropped him off he never barked. He went right to her. She’s very warm and inviting and i would absolutely rebook with her.”
“Highly recommend. Great communication. Pictures everyday. Even helped me celebrate Stormie’s Birthday while I was away. Picked up a happy and exhausted Dog. Went to the park after (which he loves and doesnt want to leave. Lol.) We lasted 20 minutes and he was ready to go. Will definitely be in touch in the future ! Thank you for everything.”
