Derek and Stella were wonderful hosts for Bernie. They send plenty of photos and texts letting me know how Bernie was doing. And when I picked up Bernie, he was very comfortable and happy. We highly recommend Derek and Stella and will definitely ask them to dog-sit during our future travels.

The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.

Lauren has been taking care of Berry for over a week, and she’s been amazing. She sends frequent updates with pictures, so I never have to wonder how he’s doing. This is our second time booking with her, and it’s very clear how much Berry loves being there—when we arrive, his tail immediately goes up and he runs upstairs like he’s coming home. That says everything. I highly recommend Lauren and will absolutely book with her again.

About: I grew up with a pet dog, and she was raised with a lot of love in our house. I am used to cleaning up after a dog and feeding it. I am a student so I am home a lot! I will be able to attend to the pet consistently! We will go on walks and have fun so they are cared for while you’re away. Thank you so much! I attend to the pet constantly. I give it attention and love and petting. I can take it outside for potty breaks and feed it. We have a cat but the cat is extremely calm.

Our dog Millie took an immediate liking for Katie. No hesitations at all. It was like she saw her every day. Our immediate impression of Katie was that she was a very competent and responsible young woman. And this proved to be the case during the boarding period.. The photos she sent indicated to us that Mille was well taken care of and was very relaxed. Katie had a nice outdoor deck where Millie could sun herself, something she loves. What more can you want or expect. We would not hesitate to use Katie in the future.

Michelle was amazing with Lani while we were traveling in Europe. She was super accommodating, even extending her stay by an extra week when our plans changed, which we really appreciated. She was communicative the whole time and kept us updated with photos of Lani exploring the outdoors, playing with other dogs, and just generally having the best time. Her home felt really warm and welcoming - Lani got along great with her and her family, and she felt right at home. 10/10 would recommend Michelle - Lani is already excited to stay with her again!
