Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I left my kitten (4wks old) with Karen and Harrison and their animal menagerie and he went from being a bit overwhelmed to fully integrated into the whole household. He made best friends with another young cat and was mothered by one of their pups. I couldn't be happier with the opportunity to socialize him while we were away! Got lots of updates and videos along the way, which really put me at ease. Thanks, Karen! Happy to have found y'all.

Kallie didn't want to come home! She was pampered beyond a doggie spa vacation. Tracey, Kevin, and family took amazing care of our sweet puppy. I highly recommend them for attentive and loving care of your dog. They were so amazing that we already requested two more future bookings.

Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!

Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.

This is not Wendy’s first time taking good care of my Brody! Any time I go out of town and can’t bring my dog, she’s the first person I go to. He loves his stay every time! Wendy is the best! She sends picture updates throughout the day and always gives status updates. I highly recommend Wendy because her and her family treat your dog like their own, very communicative, and is genuine. Brody is very comfortable with her as well. Thank you Wendy! 💚

Wenyan was a spectacular host to my two dogs over a long weekend. Daily photos of some very happy (and a bit spoiled) dogs. I'm not sure who had the better weekend, myself or my dogs. Wenyan comes with my most highly recommendation.

Outstanding care was provided for my Golden retriever. I'm eager to book another reservation because my dog was so happy when she was with this very kind family! She enjoyed meeting their friendly dog, Dell, and she loved playing with Dell in their large backyard. Communication with James and Nicolette was also great and they were very accommodating when I arrived late to pick-up, due to a snowstorm.

Wow!!! I can’t say enough good things about Xiao. We just moved to the area and we’re headed out on a 5 country tour for 2 weeks. Something drew my to Xiao, about the loss of her pup Charlie and her kind demeanor. She sent pictures of our Lu Dog all the time, she loved on her, spoiled her, and when o came to pick her up, she was sitting at the dinner table with Xiao and her husband like she was a human in the family. Our dog was so happy she got her own little vacation. I know if I ever need Lu to be watched again I can trust Xiao. Thank you so much.

I’ve used Marco before and our Dior seemed to have a good time so when a last minute need came up, I reached back out. While we prob want a few more pics of Dior, I will let Marco know in the future so we can see how she is doing throughout the day. Thank you Marco and Margaret for taking great care of our little loved one!

I have entrusted my dog, Bella, to Lina several times, and each time she has cared for her with the utmost love and attention. Lina is incredibly consistent and reliable, always making sure Bella is happy and comfortable. She also sends me photos, showing me just how well Bella is doing, which gives me complete peace of mind. I truly appreciate her dedication and warm heart, and I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!

James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.

Tanya is exactly whom you are looking for to take care of your dog. I feel very lucky that she was able to watch Mabel while we went on vacation. It took all the worry away. It is a wonderful house and family. Mabel was so well taken care of.

I was a little nervous with leaving Miss Millie with a new sitter. However once meeting Dawn, all my fears vanished. Dawn is very personable and exudes professionalism, confidence, and a great understanding of dogs. Miss Millie took to her and her little yorkie Rascal immediately and had a blast in the large yard. Pictures and updates were sent regularly which was much appreciated. I highly recommend Dawn and Rascal as the perfect hosts.

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use: --- We couldn’t be happier with Katrina as our dogsitter! She is incredibly communicative and keeps us updated every step of the way. It’s clear she has a lot of experience. Our dogs warmed up to her right away and are always relaxed and happy when we return. Being able to go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing our dogs are getting the absolute best care and attention, is priceless. Highly recommended!
