“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”
“Christine has a fun, safe, and loving space for the dogs in her care. She limits the dogs she’s boarding, sends pictures, and gives feedback on how your pup is doing. Would definitely recommend Christine’s boarding services.”
“Ashton was amazing with our dog, Sherlock. She took him to parks and lots of walks. He looked very happy in the photos she sent to us. We will definitely use her again.”
“We loved having Phil stay with Leonard and Kathryn! We have already booked future stays and our pup came back so happy and well-looked after. Thank you!!”
“Andy graciously boarded my dog Marble during the holidays. He was always prompt with communication, attentive, detailed, and sent pictures every day, so I knew my dog was well taken care of. Marble came back happy (with a washed blanket courtesy of Andy!) and I could not have been more grateful. Would board with Andy again in a heartbeat!”
“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Luciana was great with Bella! Based on the photos she would send I can tell Bella was comfortable with her and enjoyed her time. I look forward to having Bella stay with Luciana in the future if needed! Luciana was also flexible with my drop off dates/times when I was finalizing the details. Thanks so much again!”
“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Anne Marie was so great with Chespi! She was available to do a meet n greet before our time although she was extremely busy. My dog doesn't always cuddle with a sitter on the first night, which assumedly means she's trustworthy and caring. I'll definitely rebook again.”
“Nina did such a great job of taking care of my small and nervous puppy Stella!! Stella warmed up really quickly and was super comfortable and happy staying with Nina. And Stella and Ricky were best friends as well. I recommend Nina to everyone and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Juliet is awesome!! Sosi had a blast playing with Romeo and running around on a lawn. Juliet sent lots of adorable pics and vids to prove it- highly recommend!”

“Brianne and her family did a wonderful job caring for Kaia! She went over and beyond for repairing one of Kaia’s favorite toys (several times). Her daughters snuggled and played with Kaia treating her with utmost care. She came back exhausted and I always say a tired pup is a happy one!”
“Michael was great with my dog, Maya. Lots of picture updates which were greatly appreciated. Seems like she got a lot of exercise and Michael was very flexible on pick up and drop off times when I asked for a change. 10/10 would recommend and book again.”
“She is a popular dog sitter that means on a busy weekend she will have many dogs in her house. I was a bit worried about this, however, she managed really well not only my dog and also me by sending photos of my dog every morning. I don’t wanna leave a good review since i dont want her get busier but she deserves an honest review for her service.”
