“Jennifer was such a wonderful host for my Simba! She made him feel very comfortable and treated him as if he was one of her own dogs. She gave me a tour of her home and backyard where Simba would be spending most of his time to ensure he would be in a safe and loving environment. She has three dogs that were very playful and welcoming to my pup and they seemed to have a great time playing together. Additionally, Jennifer sent pictures throughout the day keeping me updated on Simba and how comfortable and happy he was. I will absolutely have Jennifer sit for Simba again!!”
“Liz is fabulous! She took such amazing care of our sweet girl. Our dog loved her after the first meet and greet! Liz was great about communicating and if we are ever back in the area we would use her in a second!”
“Jessica was great!! So kind and understanding of my anxious pouch. Our pup loved hanging with all the other pups. She kept me posted on how she was adjusting and put my mind at ease since this was her first time being boarded.”
“Amber and her family have taken great care of my dog Jazzy! They send pictures daily and Jazzy has so much fun playing in their yard with the other pups. I have used their services several times and would definitely recommend!”
“Our pup had so much fun staying with Charles! She had lots of attention, cuddles, and playtime with puppy pals. I love that she wasn't put in a kennel and was allowed to sleep in a home environment.”
“My wife and I had the birth of our first child scheduled, and last minute we decided to have someone board our smallest dog Icarus. Within 10 minutes of messaging Scott and Amanda they called me and told me to drop my little buddy off. They took such amazing care of him… Everyday they sent me text messages, pictures, videos; they walked Icarus, their kids played with him, their Lab Walter hung out with him. I even dropped Icarus with a bit of a stomach ache and they made sure he didn’t over eat and slowly fed him to make sure he was OK. One the day we were to pickup Icarus my wife and I had to stay at the hospital longer and last minute I asked if they could watch him for 2 more days and they said “no problem at all”. Scott and Amanda are absolutely amazing dog sitters, and they’re even better people.”
“Brandy and her family were amazing!! We left both of our pups with them for weekend boarding and the care that they received was exactly what any dog parent would want; they were loved on all weekend and we were sent plenty of photo updates! Definitely would recommend Brandy and we’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Ashley and Brownie were great! I took our puppy to meet Ashley and her apartment was spotless and her dog was gentle and playful. Ashley was very comfortable answering all the questions of a new puppy mom and made me feel that my puppy would be happy in her home! I plan to use her again and would recommend her highly! Thanks, Ashley! Beverly Noffsinger”
“Great place, great family, and our dogs love this place. It’s like doggie summer camp!!! Always gives great daily updates and pictures which reassure us that our pups are enjoying their vacation as we enjoy ours!”
“These folks are simply wonderful. My pup loves nothing more than running in the woods and rough housing with good natured pups, and she had this in abundance here. This is a house of true animal lovers. The communication was great, my dog felt safe and like part of the family, and she came home exhausted and happy. You guys are the best!!”
“Sheva is the best! This is about the 4th time our little guy has stayed with her and he loves it every time. We will only stop having him stay there if we or she moves away. Highly recommend.”
“We are overjoyed by our experience with this Rover. It was the first time we had ever left mom’s Chinese Crested with anyone since we brought her home 1-15-21 after mom’s funeral. We have taken her everywhere with us including to Gulf Shores Alabama. We were traveling with a long ferry ride this time and we couldn’t take her. We were updated with text, photos and videos that kept us from worrying about her. She looked very happy and we could concentrate on getting things done and getting back home. When we picked her up we were assured that she always has a safe and familiar place to stay if we needed to bring her back again. We couldn’t be happier with her weekend stay.”
“Ryan and Stephanie are wonderful! My Charlie had such a good time! I am sure if he wants to come home! Thank you Ryan and Stephanie for taking care of our ? pup”
“Margaret was wonderful! My dog looked like she was on her own vacation at Margarets house. She would send me pictures of Lucy playing in the yard and what bedding Lucy picked. Lucy loved being at Margarets house. I highly recommend Margaret!”
