“John and Johanna were so wonderful with our sweet Teddy. He had such a fun time playing with Penny. I would absolutely recommend John and Johanna. They are so caring and interactive with the pets they care for. They sent many photos and videos as well as daily reports. I had such peace of mind leaving him with them for my wedding weekend.”


“Ingrid was the best sitter! She made me feel so comfortable while she watched my dog Charlie, sending lots of updates and pictures. She was also very patient with him and his puppy behaviors. I could tell he was so happy and at home when I came to pick him up.”


“Couldn’t be more happy with Ashley’s boarding services. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, got more food when my girl was out, and even offered to clip Gamora’s nails. Which by some miracle her and her boy friend were able to. They are an amazing team and very clearly love the pets under their care. Excited because I travel regularly for work and it’s a huge relief to know that Gamora will always be in good hands.”


“Benjamin provided quality care to my mini Goldendoodle during a recent family trip. He was extremely flexible about pick up/drop off time, and he shared daily photos of the dog’s activity.
