“My Sunny loves Stephanie. She takes care of Sunny as if Sunny were her own. She sends me updates and pictures and follows the instructions and routine I gave to her.”


10. Stephen S.


“I left my 18 months Siberian Husky with Steve and Cathy for a week while I had to travel. This was the first time that I was leaving my dog for such a long trip, so I was initially worried; but after meeting Steve and Cathy I was assured that Ares would be taken care of. They took such good care of Ares and sent me pics with updates. I would definitely use them again!!!”


11. Serenity H.

“Serenity took great care of my dog, Kasey. She sent me photos of him daily and he came back as happy as when I left him. 10/10 recommend working with her.”


12. Erica & Thomas C.

“Our pup had a great time. It was clear that they enjoyed taking care of him. They provided pictures and updates and we could tell he was having fun and was spoiled.”


13. Shannon C.

“Shannon was very considerate with our last minute request, which was appreciated. She did the meet and greet thoughtfully with her current pups, to give everyone the best chance of harmony. Bill came back from his stay with a wagging tail and was exhausted, both of which are a good sign. I wouldn't hesitate to use Shannon again!”


14. Suzanne B.


“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”


15. Laura C.

“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”


16. Amanda S.

“Amanda is very nice, great with communication and I absolutely loved booking with her. My dog had the best time, I will definitely be booking again!”




17. Ricky R.

“Ricky was excellent! He took care of my 85 pound Hound/ Husky. I always am a bit concerned when leaving my dog with someone but when I need to do it again, Ricky will be the first person I contact.”


18. Tiffani S.

“Tiffani was very responsive and easy to book! We received fun pictures of our pup who seemed to be having almost as much fun as we were! Thanks Tiffani! We look forward to booking with you again!”




19. Maggie L.

“Maggie was great! Sent us pictures and videos and up to date all along. Bear also seemed to really like her! Definitely will be using her again :)”


20. Holly M.

“Thank You Holly & Mike! Finn had such a great time with you!! I would highly recommend Holly. Her knowledge of elder dogs made me fell so at ease. The property Finn stayed at must of felt like a resort retreat! Beautiful 🤩 I will most definitely be contacting Holly more often!”
