4. Susan M.
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Susan and her family! They took care of my Shadow like he was their own. I could not have chose a better place for him to spend the weekend! He was in cuddle heaven! She sent photos and updates often, which I greatly appreciated. Shadow and Susans’ golden retriever babies played and played and played and I know they had a great time(I got videos)! If you need someone to give your pup love and a wonderful place to stay, I would choose Susan’s family! We will be using them again.”
5. Debra Kay N.
“Debra Kay did an excellent job taking care of Pax for a four day stay. Pax is young, wiggly, and energetic and I specifically wanted to board him in a house with other dogs. It made me so happy to see how fast Pax fit in with Debra’s boys. Outlaw and Pax have the same bully breed playing style and were friends right away while Omega is like the teacher/ leader that young Pax needs. I’m happy to have someone I trust to take care of my goofy boy and I know he will be excited to return.”
6. Jade M.
“Jade and her boyfriend were wonderful sitters for our dog, Butters, while we were in vacation. Butters had a wonderful time playing with their cats and came back happy, clean, and looking well rested from her own vacation.”

8. Teri R.
“We could not have asked for a more attentive, caring and communicative person to take care of our family dog! Teri consistently provided photos, videos and updates of Luna during her stay and we could tell Luna was having the best time. Truly a home away from home for our pup with separation anxiety. We appreciate you Teri and could not recommend her more!!!”
9. Vanessa J.
“Vanessa and her family took great care of our dog. She provided pictures and updates and responds quickly to txt messages. The backyard is fenced. Very pleasant experience! Would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, safe environment for pet care!! 🐾🐾 NL”

11. Ruth F.
“Ruth was very kind and communicative. The dogs had a great time staying with her. We got plenty of pictures and updates, and they came home happy. Would recommend!”
12. Austin & Wendy K.
“Wendy and Austin watched our girl Rylee and I couldn’t have left her with anybody better. Their two golden girls are the absolute sweetest and helped Rylee feel right at home. Rylee has some anxiety and their little one Bella is almost like a support animal for her. She came back clean and felt very soft. They had sent us some pictures of her getting brushed with their special vacuum and I might just have to get one for ourselves. They provide updates daily with pictures which was very much appreciated. They are the sweetest and I high recommend leaving your fur babies with them for they will be well taken care of and spoiled rotten!”
13. David G.
“We enjoyed our trip and David helped. He sent daily updates and photos. His attention and setup worked very well for our 2 dogs for 5 days. We have already recommended him to people we know Thank you David”
14. Betsy S.
“Betsy was magnificent. One of our dogs was very difficult and cried into the late evening. Betsy was great dealing with this dog's emotional problems which I didn't expect. I consulted a dog trainer about this and won't board this dog until her problems are resolved. Other than that the stay during the day was wonderful for our two dogs. Betsy provides pictures and her two little dogs are great playmates for our dogs. Her back yard is expansive and she keeps it flea and tick free.”
15. Nashari B.
“Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!”
16. Cynthia C.
“Highly recommend Cynthia. She made us feel comfortable leaving our husky for the first time and it was such a good experience. We will definitely let her take care of our Luna again when we are in town. Thank you so much Cynthia!”
17. Christian G.
“Christian is so great with our puppy.”
18. Erin L.
“Otis had so much fun on his stay! He was happy and tired when we picked him up and has a new best bud in Lani. Erin was so kind and caring. We would definitely recommend and plan to use again!”
19. Ryana J.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter and it could not have gone better. Ryana provided a clean, safe, loving space. She provided updates, photos, and checked in just the right amount. I was able to fully relax on my vacation knowing Luna was in Ryana's care! I will absolutely use Ryana for pet sitting in the future.”
20. Ross K.
“Absolutely amazing, my kitten had a spectacular time with Ross. He sent lots of pictures and updates and took time to hangout and play with her. Highly recommend. Ross is also very quick to respond and can be a real life saver if you are in need for a last minute sitter.”
