“I can’t begin to explain how lucky we feel to have found these folks! Rather than our poor pup sitting alone in his vet’s kennel, they brought him into their home, snuggled with him, kept him happy, and sent us updates and photos! I was so apprehensive about leaving our dog (a one-year-old lab who acts…well, like a one-year-old lab) with someone I hadn’t met before, but they immediately put me at ease. My boy is safe, happy, and home with us. I 100% recommend Linda and Mike!”
“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”
“Stephen and his wife and daughter made Bandit feel right at home. I loved all of the pictures and text to show me what she was doing. I’m sure she loved the walks to the lake. I would definitely recommend Stephen and I am positive I will use him again. Thank you for making Bandit feel a part of the family.”
“Sarah was wonderful and extremely accommodating for us when we needed a place for our pup to stay last minute. She sent us lots of pictures of our dog and a video so we knew he was happy and well taken care of. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely use Sarah again.”
“Our dog was taken good care of by Morgan. We were highly satisfied, esp it was our first time leaving our dog with someone else. We will definately take our dog back to her again anytime we need help. May God bless the works of her hands.”
“Caroline and her husband Brian are wonderful people and dog lovers. Our golden doodle stayed the night at their lovely home and was treated as their own while we went fishing. We are so happy to make new friends and have such a wonderful option for our doodle when fishing at Truman Lake! Highly recommend!!”
“Jolene and Sean were life savers. Nyla had a great time. I loved getting all of the pictures and the communications from them. I definitely look to having Nyla stay with them again.”
“If I could give 10 stars it wouldn’t be enough. Candice was beyond amazing. Our baby took to her like he had known her his whole life. She has a beautiful family and a huge fenced yard where he could play. She was very thorough with finding out any and all information she needed. She sent us tons and tons of pictures, videos, and updates on our baby. He wasn’t stuck in a crate since he never is at home. She allowed her home to become his. Not only will she be the ONLY place we will ever take him but we are already telling all our dog parents about her. The absolute highest rating possible.”
“Our dog Westley stayed with Alan & Karen for 3 nights. Alan was awesome, he made our dog feel comfortable, took the time to make sure that he was happy, and sent us pictures every day. We would definitely trust him to watch our dog again.”
“She did such a great job that I’m pretty sure he wants to go back already and is pouting because he misses his new furry pals he made there!!! I got photos and updates daily and loved knowing he was in a home with a family and not being boarded at a kennel, he is far too bougie for that!!! I totally recommend her for your fur babies! 👌👍”

“Dalane was amazing! She sent me photos daily and we chatted about how he was doing. I loved that Louie and her dog got along so well. I highly recommend Dalane! I will for sure be a returning customer!”
“Kirsten did a great job taking care of my dog. She gets anxious at times, but Kirsten made great efforts making her feel at home. Kirsten was also flexible allowing my friend to pick up my dog. I highly recommend Kirsten.”
“I literally cannot say enough about how fantastic Lisa is. I am so thankful that we found her -- she is now our dog-sitter for life! Lisa is one of those people that just loves and understands dogs, and they respond accordingly. Our two labs have stayed with a few different boarders over the years, and I always felt that they were safe and cared for, but I have NEVER seen them as happy and comfortable away from home as they were with Lisa. She played with them, snuggled them, gave them their doggie supplements, and took them out for adventures on her huge piece of property (8 fenced acres). My dogs loved having so much space to roam and play. Her house is also very dog friendly -- Lisa sent me pictures and updates throughout our trip, and my dogs looked incredibly comfortable napping on her soft red chair. When my 8-year-old saw the pictures, he said, "our dogs are having the best vacation ever!" I am so thankful that we now have a place to take our dogs where they will be not only cared for, but loved and spoiled. Thanks Lisa for such an amazing experience!!”
