2. Sky G.
“We boarded Fergie with Sky while away for a long weekend. It had been quite awhile since we boarded her, preferring to take her with us on trips. Fergie fell in nicely with Sky. We received frequent notes, photos and video's of Fergie with Sky, which was appreciated. She looked content and happy. It gave us a sense of confidence that Fergie was well cared for. When we need to board Fergie again, we will reach to Sky.”

6. Dontae O.
“Donate was awesome. I was worried as this was my dogs first time away from me since rescuing her a year earlier. But she had an amazing time, got lots of play time, and made two new buddies. Dontae was prompt, communicative, and you can tell he's a total dog person. Great experience.”
7. Christopher M.
“Chris did a fantastic job with my rescue hound Sherman! I couldn't have found a more caring, knowledgeable, and responsible person to take care of Sherman who had alot of anxiety at first. Chris worked with Sherman to help him through his anxious moments and gave Sherman ALOT of outdoor time in his favorite dog park. Chris' dog Arnie was also very friendly, playful, and helpful with Sherman. I highly recommend Chris as a dog sitter and in fact, I am going to book him again for my May travel. This is the best experience I have had with any animal sitter!”

I second another pup's parent's review that Elizabeth is the pet sitter I want to keep a secret so that Nelly can stay with her whenever we're out of town!”
