“I can’t say enough great things about Doris and the wonderful care she provided for our dog, Giorgie, while we were away for over a week. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by sharing frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really reassured us that Giorgie was happy and in good hands. Doris clearly loves and understands dogs, and we could tell she went above and beyond to make sure Giorgie felt at home. We returned to a very happy and well-cared-for pup, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. Highly recommend Doris to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog boarder!”


“Stella had a great time at LeAnne & Michael’s house!!! Stella is a bit of an anxious girl, but LeAnne was very patient and understanding, and within 12 hours Stella was right at home! Leanne took lots of pics of Stella throughout our trip, and I felt that Stella was in great hands. We can’t wait to travel again - Stella has a new 2nd home!!!”


“I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Gil and his dog, Moon, provided for my 50-pound husky puppy, Guy, this weekend! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Gil kept me updated throughout the weekend with adorable pictures of the two dogs playing and having a blast together. It was clear that Guy was not only well-cared for but genuinely enjoying himself. Gil’s communication was excellent—he made sure I felt at ease, sending me regular updates that reassured me Guy was having a fantastic time. Moon, his dog, was the perfect companion, and I could see the bond they quickly developed. The playtime, walks, and overall attention Guy received made it clear that Gil is a true dog lover who goes above and beyond to ensure every pup is happy and safe. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, I highly recommend Gil. He treats your dog like family and makes sure they have an enjoyable, stress-free stay. Guy can’t wait for his next visit!”


“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”

“Michelle was fantastic with my husky! She provided updates and lots of pictures every morning and night and really worked to meet the needs of my dog who was a little stressed being away from family. I highly recommend her to anyone who has not left their dog before and is worried. She was truly amazing!”


“Sheryl was fantastic with my geriatric 17 year old poochie. I have never left her with anyone other than family/friends and was a bit apprehensive because she has some special needs and is a little fragile. Sheryl was loving and confident and managing her medication, special food needs, and deafness/confusion. I would highly recommend her!”


“Mollanna did a great job watching our dog! She sent a lot of updates and pictures. We were thankful she was open to a last minute booking and she gave him a lot of love, food, and treats. The only initial concern was not a closed backyard but she has a long leash to allow them outside. We would definitely book again.”


“Lisa was great. Our sweet but nervous pup settled in quickly and seemed to feel comfortable and happy. Lisa was very accommodating to our schedule and attentive to my dogs needs pertaining to her anxiety. We received frequent updates and photos. Her home provided plenty of soft comfy landing spots for your pup and a beautiful fenced yard that my dog loved. She was great with communication and we will definitely use Lisa again”
