Lexi looked to be enjoying herself. We got updates with the pictures and check-ins throughout our trip. It was good to know our girl was in good hands 😁. We'll be back ❤️🤗
Aiko was awesome! We had a long stretch of time we needed to board our girl, Rhea, and right at a holiday too. She treated our dog like her own, and I got much loved updates and pictures. Rhea even had a weird adjustment period while there where she was being weird about her food, and Aiko was so accommodating and worked with me on ideas that could help. Rhea also got along with the other dogs boarding and Aiko’s dog, so I’d say she met some new play date buddies too 😊
Riley loved her. She was able to get him to eat wet and dry food, something he never does. She took him for walks and kept me updated with pictures and videos. I am glad I was able to find her last minute will use her again.
Grace was amazing and took great care of Stella! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care
Kylie watched over our dog Stanley while we took a vacation overseas to attend a family wedding. I was so nervous since we haven’t had to leave him since he started taking medications for his tummy. She was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs! She really made Stanley feel right at home in her space <3
Lyndsay and her Mom are amazing!!! They took such good care of my senior pup who requires a little extra care and attention. I’m looking forward to booking him with them again as I know that he’ll be in good hands!!
Bubbles is very anxious and jumpy around new people and I had the worst thought that she would not be okay because I felt she would give Nikki a hard time but behold….Nikki did something that no one had done yet with Bubbles; that was her Bubbles to trust her. I felt so secure and was able to focus while out of town because Nikki kept in touch and sent videos and my baby seemed so happy. Bubbles dad and I have decided that Nikki will be Bubbles new home away from home. This was a time for me as well with my anxiety because I don’t like being away from Bubbles. She normally travels with us. So, this experience calmed me as well. Thanks Nikki for the love Bubbles received from you and Moxi!!! I’m grateful.
Elise did a great job taking care of our two dogs! She sent us daily updates and the doggies looked like they felt right at home. We would definitely recommend her!
I would like to say thank you to Sandra for sitting our pet William, she was very professional and delightful, looking forward to working with her again in in the near future.
Pia was great with my dog! I would definitely use her again in the future. I liked how she would send pictures and updates of my dog. She watched my dog for over a week and my dog loved her! Pia is very friendly, kind, and trustworthy.
Exceptional communication. Provided us with pics and updates. Made us all feel very comfortable with a willingness to help. He has exceeded my expectations and will definitely reach out for future travels.
Kelly has been caring for our dog for the last 8 years. He is always careful to attend to her needs and promptly provides daily updates. We appreciate everything he does for our pup.
Cameryn was an absolutely amazing companion for my pup, she is a great communicator and made sure everything was perfect for Penny. Would absolutely book again and refer to friends.
Mariah is very professional and she took care of my puppy like it was her own! I loved how she sent me pictures and videos letting me know my little girl was doing just fine while I was away. Definitely recommend her and already have her booked for my next trip out of town!
Lorena was great with my dog and took the time to learn about her schedule and try to make her comfortable. Thank you!
Thank you Maggie and Skye for another great stay for Mazie. Maggie sends lots of photos showing Mazie having a wonderful time. I know when I’m going out of town that Mazie is getting a home-like staycation and is in great hands with Maggie and Skye.
Savannah was a pleasure to deal with. Teia came home happy and well cared for. Loved all the pics too!
Ms. Anne takes the best care of German while I'm away and I truly know he's in great hands. She also goes above and beyond to take care of his needs , even the smallest of requests! I also love that she takes him on walks without asking and gives him extra cuddles when he's missing me. I'm overly satisfied with Ms. Anne's services and will continue to book with her when I'm out of town, she's the only person German and I trust!
