“Michelle was very professional despite my dog going through pretty heavy separation anxiety from me. Sadly I will not be using her again because I think my dog needs to be with more of a pack, but would recommend her to anyone who's looking for around the clock care of their precious furbaby. She was flexible, communicative and very polite.”

“Prince had a wonderful time with Andrew and Mack! I was nervous leaving him for my trip, but from the moment I dropped him off he was trying to run inside to play with his new friend. I was happy to receive updates throughout Princes stay and would definitely reach out to Andrew to watch Prince again if I plan on taking another trip.”

“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”

“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”

“Daisy thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Janet & Jacopo and has new friends in them. She had so much fun I’m not sure she wanted to go home. Janet & Jacopo provided excellent care which included keeping Miss Daisy on her diet, encouraging her to burn some calories and work on her endurance while walking and maintaining her eye and tail care that come with being a bulldog. Thank you for your active listening, great daily communication and suggestions throughout Daisy’s stay! She got to explore a new park and used a snuffle mat for the first time.”

“Jonathon couldn’t have been a better choice to take care of our puppy, Beverly. She is a 95lb big baby mastiff who has never spent a day without us and needs a lot of attention and cuddles keep her happy. Our honeymoon was 12 days long and I was very nervous leaving her for that long. Jonathon sent us lots of pictures and it was very obvious that she was happy and safe in their care and allowed me to relax and enjoy our trip. Can’t recommend them enough and so happy to have found a sitter we trust with our precious very large baby!”

“Frankie is a rescued breeder dog and has some head noise from his previous life, especially when it comes to cages and restraints. He also has separation anxiety when he spends time away from his new family. But every now and then we all need a vacation - right? Soooo happy to have found Suzanne, she was perfect to watch Frankie while we were away. Gentle, kind and patient, I could tell she really cared. She regularly sent pictures and corresponded. Couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience!”

Annie C.

“Andrea and her husband took such good care of our dogs when we were out of the country. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and sent multiple videos and photos per day. Andrea treated our dogs as if they were her own and we knew they were in good hands. We are so appreciative of Andrea and her husband! 10/10 recommend!”

“Highly recommended! This was the perfect fit for my pup! Baby is a senior dog with back leg issues, and Janelle went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and felt right at home. The care and attention she provided made all the difference. I didn’t just find a sitter—I found new friends!”

His dogs welcomed our dog and got along great. Super communicative through the pick up and drop off process. Overall met expectations and beyond! Will book again 100%!”

Jacob W.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Both of our dogs absolutely adored their time with Jackie and her family, our pups miss them already. Every day we received plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were being loved, spoiled with attention, and enjoying lots of playtime. They came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun. We’re so grateful for the incredible care and will definitely be booking again!”
