“Rita was great! Quick responses, frequent updates and our dog Maple and cat Olive loved her (boarded our dog and had drop-in for our cat). Olive is usually fine when we are away but it was our first long trip away from Maple and she came home happy and healthy. I would use Rita’s services again, no problem”

Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”
“Elisabeth is simply great, really grateful for her to take care of Pluto on Christmas day, she kept us updated throughout the evening and we could see Pluto was relaxed and happy. She was really caring, Pluto can be a bit anxious at a new place but she made sure that all points discussed during our meet and greet were taken care of. I would highly recommend Elisabeth and would look forward to the next stay.”
“Rackeem was awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He took excellent care of my fur babies and I highly recommend him!

He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.”
