“such an amazing experience with this nicole! i felt so comfortable leaving my pup in her care, he warmed up to her quickly!! she sent tons of cute photos and constant updates throughout the day, which made me feel so connected and at ease 💞 she truly treats every dog like family and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved! my puppy came home so tired from all the fun, i could tell he had the best time ever! seriously can’t recommend nicole enough! if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and puts so much love into your fur babies, she is your girl!”
“Dottie is great with dogs and you can tell she is an experienced dog person. She took great care of Winston for the day, and is flexible with her time, and communicative. Will definitely ask her to take care of Winston again”
“Another awesome day with Damon and his doggos. Uki always leaves so tired and happy. She’s still tired the next day and has really blossomed in her social skills.”
“Piggy had a great time with Marla and Keith. She got all her puppy energy out and came back ready for bed. They gave a great update at the end of the day about how it went and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. 10/10”
“Christen did a great job taking care of Yeti when we needed to head out of town for a last minute day trip. He had fun hanging out with her pup Otis and was happily tuckered out that night (and the next day). We would definitely book with Christen again.”
“Yvonne and her son Sam took very good care of Lucy. Yvonne sent updates and pictures to let me know how Lucy was doing and their two little dogs were perfect hosts to our timid dog. We will use them again in the future.”
“Anastasiya and her family have been caring for our energetic 10-month old aussiedoodle Tony each week for a couple of months now & I am so grateful that we found her! We are always greeted warmly, and he expresses excitement and interest for his visits. They have a wonderful home and outdoor space for him to explore and I am confident that he is being well taken care of and having lots of fun. Our brief check-ins tell me that they genuinely seem to enjoy his company, which makes me happy too! Anyone who is able to utilize her services will be fortunate and in very good hands:)”
“We had our 2 pups stay with Roxanne while we were taking a daytrip to the coast, with the hope that by having them run around and play all day they'd be tired puppers when we got back. Mission accomplished! They were a little hyper when we picked them up because they were happy to see us again, but once we got home they were both EXHAUSTED. It looked like there were 4 other pups staying with Roxanne that day from the pictures she sent during the day, and from what she said they had a blast playing together. I loved how fast Roxanne was to respond to messages, as it made it easy to coordinate for dropoff/pickup. Thank you!”
“Mariia was great! She communicated quickly and provided great instructions upon arrival. Her home is very clean and welcoming. She made sure my pup was taken care of. Would definitely book again!”
“Huyen was so communicative and also supportive of our nervous pup! We did a trial with Huyen to get our dog comfortable with her place before leaving him for a few days. We are comfortable in knowing that he will be taken care of by Huyen!”

We have a fenced backyard and a 1 year old border collie to keep your pup company. We also have a crate of your pup prefers.
“Carol was wonderful with Jasper. She let him play in her yard which is pretty much amazing for all pups who like to get around exploring. She gave him amazing treats and let him cuddle on her sofa! She is one of a kind! We’ll definitely keep coming to her house! Carol is great at responding texts and takes time to send pictures!”
“Renee did a great with Fran. She made a cosy bed for so she could sit by Renee on the couch. She got to meet Renee’s sweet chocolate lab and was in good spirits when I returned. Couldn’t have gone better for a first time visit.”
“Christopher hosted Emmie for two days of daycare. We had a meet and greet with him, his dog and kids beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. Christopher did a good job taking care of Emmie and was easy to communicate with. Thank you !”

Kayley and her family were great with Luna. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave her with. Kayley was responsive, caring, and always kept me up to date about the stay. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will continue to use Kayley myself.
