“We left our two dogs with Brandie for a week long vacation. We had never boarded them for any reason before and were very nervous about leaving them with anyone. Brandie was sensitive to how our two small dogs might react to her large dog during the meet and greet, but there turned out to be no problems. She and her husband were very respectful of our pups and we left quite comfortable choosing her. During our trip Brandie sent us updates with pictures every day and it was clear our dogs were happy and being loved. They were often showed playing or being active during the day. Brandie was extremely communicative about all aspects of the stay. We will definitely use Brandie again if we need to travel without the dogs.”

“Mildred and her family were incredibly wonderful to Luna and to me! They lived her like their own, and even fell IN love with her! I had lots of pictures from her even showing her lying on of the beds being pet. Luna is anxious and they either with her to warm up, there are two couples in the house and her son and they all take care of the dogs. What a wonderful place to leave your pup.”
“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Stephen enough. He took amazing care of our Buddy while we were away. He communicated and sent us videos and updates every day. He was cautious when introducing Buddy to the other dogs in his care and we had a meet and greet prior to the stay which I appreciate, he goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs in his care are compatible to keep all dogs safe. I look forward to using him in the future and I know Buddy will too. You can see that dogs in Stephens care are treated as his own and that is so comforting when leaving your dog in his care.”

“I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone that needs boarding for their pets. She treated our puppy Storm like she was one of her own. She sent us pictures of Storm having a great time and assured us that she was playing the entire time she was there. When we picked her up she was clearly happy and exhausted. We will definitely be using Brittany again in the future.”

“Matt, Brook, their kids, and Mr. Bo Jangles were amazing! Just a warm, friendly family that enjoys their pets. Their home is completely pet friendly with a fenced-in backyard that Blu and Bo Jangles exhausted themselves playing. I really cannot say enough kind things about Matthew and his family. Blu came home happily exhausted and crashed for the remainder of the day through the night. I look forward to Blue spending time with Bo again!”
