“Discovering Dogwood has been life changing for us and for our dog. Not only has it given us the freedom to travel and move about with peace of mind knowing our “only child” is in such great hands, but our dog is happier and more socialized thanks to all the new playmates he has met there. Giselle and Jeff are so professional and caring and it shows in every aspect of their business. I have lost count of the number of 5 star stays our dog has enjoyed there, but each time we drive away I feel compelled to sing their praises in this forum in hopes it might encourage someone who has never felt comfortable leaving their dog with a stranger to give Dogwood a try. This is an experience like no other thanks to Jeff and Giselle. It truly does not get any better!”
“Great care giver to our dog!!! She asked questions to get familiar with how our dog lives her daily life. In turn she replicated what she could to make our dog comfortable. Daily activity was reported with pictures. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again. When our dog was picked up she nudged her nose on Katherine in thanks.”
“Katelyn did an amazing job with both of our dogs. Great communication when there were concerns and just general well being regularly. We would definitely use her and her family again in the future!!”
“Darby was so great for Pepper! She had some pups that our baby could play with and her Pepper loved playing with her kids too! We felt very comfortable with Pepper being there and have already planned our next visit!”
“Graham had a wonderful time with Lindsay & her warm/caring family. We reached out a few days before 4th of July (and our wedding) panicked that Graham’s original sitter was busy. Lindsay was quick to respond, asked questions to ensure Graham’s stay was comfortable, and was very tentative to his needs (kindly keeping in touch and making accommodations to ensure that Graham was well taken care of). When my husband picked up Graham, Lindsay’s daughter sent our little pup home with a cute one-of-a-kind drawing and hugs. Lindsay and her family did not just pup sit for us - they treated Graham like family (and that makes us very very grateful). Graham looks forward to his next stay (and next time his little sister Pandora will join) ?”
“Tracey had excellent communication and excellent care for our dogs. When we first arrived our dogs went right up to her and were happy to be with her. She had a small fenced in yard which our goldendoodle enjoyed. We would definitely use her for dog sitting again.”
“Kimber had an amazing stay with Chayna while we were on vacation in the mountains! There was a large area for the dogs to play in and she loved running around with the rest of them. Chayna loved on kimber and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. She was generously flexible when we told her we'd put in the incorrect pickup time - would book her again for any vacation we have.”
“Josh was great with our dogs while we were on vacation! He has a great set up in his back yard, sent pictures, took them on walks, and kept up with Skipper’s pills. He understood how to handle my nervous dogs, which really helped. The dogs were happy, and that allowed us to relax and not worry.”
“Wynema was super easy to work with and very accommodating with our evolving schedule. She seems to have a had great time with Ariella and if we’re ever in the area again we will definitely work with her!”
“This family is absolutely amazing! My dogs were spoiled! Loved! And overly happy when got to pick them up! And when I tell you, my dogs know how to give dirty looks when I come into a kennel to pick them up! I highly recommend them and I hope to be able to go back just so that they can be the ones to keep our dogs!”
“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and thank goodness I found Amanda!! Wow! She had an outstanding response rate to all of my texts and calls. She even sent me pictures of my dog to reassure me she was ok because she knew I was nervous about her being an escape artist. When I picked up my dog both times, my girl seemed so content & happy. Amanda and her husband have a big beautiful home and give lots of love and care to their animals. I’m using her anytime I’m in this area again. Such a relief 🦋”
“I gotta say Natalie has been so amazing these last two visits with my little pup Luna!! Not only is she an amazing and caring person, she does an amazing job keeping me updated with Lunas daily activities all day long including photos and great text updates. Her availability is also a great perk to us considering the fact that we take spontaneous trips every now and then.”

“First time using Frida's doggy boarding service and it was nothing but amazing! I have a very anxious Pomeranian, and I was nervous how she would react being away from me. I think I was the one with the separation anxiety because my doggy did great with Frida! Frida was attentive, nurturing, she sent me updates with pictures reassuring me my Baby was doing great! She's very compassionate and will care for your pup 100% I will definitely use her services again. I feel calm knowing I can trust her and know my pup feels safe a cared for with her. Thank you!”

“Mrs. Tara was absolutely amazing with our baby Kora! She was so kind and attentive, and had no problem accommodating Kora’s special needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kora was in such great hands. Her communication was great — she kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
