Gabriela is the best! She comes highly recommended and we had already used her services for walks. So we jumped at the chance to send our pup to her for a multi-day boarding stay when we were headed out of town. She was amazing; sending us tons of updates, pics, and was very flexible on pickup/drop-off logistics. Most importantly she took such good care of our pup! We will absolutely use Gabriela again and so should you!

Abigail did a great job caring for my dog over the 4th of July weekend. I was able to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. As a bonus my pup had a great time playing with sweet Stella. Abigail was easy to coordinate with, gave regular updates and also was very knowledgeable about dog play styles/dog behavior. Highly recommend!

Ndidika did an amazing job taking care of Jessi! I felt completely confident that Jessi was in good hands throughout my trip abroad. Ndidika sent thoughtful daily updates and clearly paid close attention to Jessi’s preferences. She even took time to watch squirrels with Jessi on their walks—one of Jessi’s favorite activities. Since Jessi doesn’t open up easily to new people, I’m so happy to have found such a sensitive, responsible, and trustworthy sitter. I will definitely book with Ndidika again in the future!

Sky was amazing with my senior dog! From the moment we did the meet and greet with her own gentle, friendly dogs, I knew my pup was in good hands. Sky took extra time to understand my dog’s special needs, asking thoughtful questions about her routine, health, and comfort. As an older dog owner, I appreciated how attentive and patient she was, making sure my dog felt safe and well cared for. The daily photo and video updates were a wonderful reassurance, and it was clear my dog was happy and relaxed. I can’t recommend Sky enough, especially for those with senior pets who need that extra bit of care and attention!

Wilson had a built in friend with her dog, Rui, and he came home happy and tuckered out! We’ll absolutely be using Ashton’s services again. Thank you so much, Ashton!
