We had never left our dog with anyone but family prior to this, but our dog Sadie did great at Bradley’s. She was very calm and happy when we picked her up. Bradley sent us pictures during the stay too where we could see that she felt very comfortable there.

Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.

Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!

Kevin and his wife Piper took exceptional care of my golden retriever, Point! From start to finish, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. They went above and beyond by sending plenty of pictures, which really showed how comfortable and happy Point was during his stay, it meant so much to see him having such a great time. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch and treat them like their own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I will most definitely be having them watch Point again. Highly recommend!

We are very happy with the support and willingness Jeremiah gave my husband and me for our dog. He took Xabela in for us at night, sent us photos of Xabela every day, and agreed to give her back to us late at night. Xabela was very well cared for during the days we had her. We would definitely trust Jeremiah with our beloved Xabela again. Thank you for everything!

Went above and beyond with my fragile old dog! Actually got him to eat, tried a number of things including sitting with him to get him comfortable...amazing.. he typically will not eat at any pet care situation but with this sitter he came home just like I dropped him off…normal. She is so sweet and caring such a good experience for him particularly because he just lost his brother. He also seemed to get on well with her doggy who was very friendly. Obviously, a very gentle and generous dog who shared his home with no difficulty. I can not tell you all the ways in which she supported my dog in this situation and what amazing communication she provided to ease my mind. Several pictures a day with details on his condition both emotional and physical. Do not hesitate to use this wonderful person and true dog whisperer! You will feel instantly comfortable and connected to your fur baby as you travel!

This was the first time Lucy spent the night away from home and we could not have asked for a better experience. Andrew, Jane, and their dog James took such good care of our girl 🥰 She came home after her one night stay happy and extra sleepy after getting to play with so many new friends.

Leigh was AMAZING. She was perfect for my Mazzy who is a wild puppy and Leigh taught her so much! Mazzy came back happy and had learned some new commands! I am so thankful because Leigh crate trained Mazzy too so when she came home to her new crate, she walked right in! No issues! Thank you Leigh so much and I will recommend you to everyone I know!!

Hanna and her family made Charlie feel right at home! They accepted his stinky shoe fetish and his desire for hands constantly petting with absolute open arms (his favorite). Her two fur babies welcomed him and left him absolutely exhausted and maybe a little depressed that there’s no one to play with in his own backyard. We will definitely be rebooking again! Thank you!
