“Stellar all around! Snuggles, walks, playtime with his new bestie Sage - our pup had a fabulous time! Excellent communication and care from Angela. We’d be thrilled to book with her again!”


“Lauren and Michael were amazing with my dog! They took very well care of Izzy and all her needs. I also appreciated the cute photos Lauren sent me of her. I would 100% book with them again.”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Koda! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in the best hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Koda was not just well cared for, but genuinely loved!! He came home so happy, and I could see how much fun he had. She even made him the cutest handmade sweater! I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
