“Stephen is a great pet sitter who looked after our beloved friend! We had a good opinion of him right away when we met him. He is very nice and pleasant, and he was excellent with Snowy! When we arrived to pick him up, he was calm and joyful. During Snowy's visit, Stephen sent us pictures of Snowy having fun, which was wonderful. I look forward to connecting with Stephen again in the future!! Thanks for doing such an excellent job; keep it up!!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“Rebecca is the best! Our Goldendoodle lived with Rebecca and her sweet family for a week. We were able to enjoy our time away even more knowing our beloved pup was SO cared for. The set up is ideal. A safe, home environment with a protected outside area with a lot of room to sprawl. She chooses her clientele carefully which leads to a peaceful doggie “vacation.” I would recommend Rebecca without hesitation! She works so hard to meet the needs of all of her furry houseguests!! She’s a gem. Thankful we found her.”
“Our senior rescue pup, Blake, had another great stay with Kristin! Roger and I are so happy to have found someone who truly loves dogs and provides such a safe and enriching environment for the "pack." Blake loves being around other dogs and he is very comfortable being at Kristin's home. Highly recommend!”
“My dog and cat are used to lots of attention and they clearly got that while staying with Jennifer and her family! I felt so comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Great care and communication! I could tell my dog was in good hands and having her best life in the country. I received daily updates and felt reassured that she was safe.”
“Suzanne is the best! I was actually able to relax on my vacation and not worry about my dog because I knew she was getting excellent care and love while I was away. She also sent daily pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
“Christle is a truly kind and caring person who took excellent care of my dog for 17 days. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and the experience couldn’t have been better. I wholeheartedly recommend Christle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend.”
“Tiffani was more than wonderful while my Aloha was in her care! She was amazingly outstanding! Aloha looked so happy in the pictures Tiffani sent during my time away from Aloha. I would highly recommend Tiffani!!”

“I was grateful to find Jill and Sean. They took such good care of my Jasper. They kept me informed of how he was adjusting and heard all the fun he had. They will def be the ones I will contact for our next trip”
“Megan and her family were amazing. She sent multiple pictures, her children made sure Ellie was exercised and she was exhausted when I picked her up. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly environment.”
“Ifan is the best seater we've ever had. He took good care of our baby Toshi. We have found our person to care for dog in our absence. We love the regular updates and pictures and he is very affordable for the care he provides.”
“Katie is a friendly person. She likes dogs. We boarded our 5 months puppy with her, and it looks like she took good care of our dog. We shall board our dog with her again, and we recommend her to other guests.”
