“Darcie was an outstanding caregiver for our dogs and is also an excellent communicator. She went above and beyond sending regular updates and photos during boarding. I would recommend her for anyone!”
“Left our 12 yr. old springer spaniel with Mike and Sherry for 10 days and were very pleased that he seemed to be very comfortable and right at home. Enjoyed the many photos that were sent along with updates on how he was doing. Will definately call upon them in to future.”

“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
“Mark was awesome. Nisha was well taken care of and loved her stay. Lots of walks and snuggles. Felt very comfortable leaving Nisha with Mark and will definitely board with him again. Thanks much Mark.”
“This was Maggie’s first time with Jill. She was boarded when she was 1 and had such a traumatic experience we weren’t sure we could leave her with a non-family member again… but she seemed to really enjoy Jill! She was happy to see me upon return, but was also so excited around Jill, I knew she was treated well and loved on. We received pictures and updates which put our minds at ease. Thank you, Jill, for loving on our girl. (We’ve already booked Jill for next time!)”
“Carol was so kind and warm and my sweet Daphne felt very at home with her and Shorty while we traveled. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet beforehand and that she sent photo updates while we were away. When our return flights were delayed, Carol was gracious and flexible about the extra time. I feel lucky to have found such a great person and petsitter.”
“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”
“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”

Andrea gave Milo personal care and attenyion,kept in communication with us, and shared pictures of Milo enjoying his new home away from home. We will definitely ask for Andrea's availability the next time we need to be away from home.”

“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
