“This was Teddy’s 2nd stay with Katherine, it was just an overnight but she sent updates and he came back so exhausted for his playing all day.”
“Ricardo & Cristina were perfect for our Charlie. He had such a great time with them and we are looking forward to them watching our furbaby soon. Thank you Ricardo & Cristina for keeping informed of his visit as it truly put our minds at ease and was able to enjoy our concert!”
“Buddy loved being at Jose’s house!! He was treated extremely well. I had to fly to FL for a funeral and Jose was able to not only pick Buddy up, but also dropped him off home when I returned. I think he got more exercise than he has in years (he’s 15!). Jose sent me pictures updating me on how he was doing. I will definitely use Jose’s services again. Thanks so much!!”
“Mia really enjoyed her stay with Candace and her family. Her home was so inviting, when she took me to see her fenced yard the first thing I said was the area was very calming and relaxing. Candace sent me updates and pictures throughout the entire stay. I will definitely book with Candace again!”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“I was pleasantly impressed with Giannina for taking care of Coco. He seemed very happy with her. She was very excited to see him when we did a meet and greet. I will recommend her again to watch Coco when I travel again.”
“Candace and Ryan were great! My Snuggles returned home happy and healthy. Candace was responsive, sent photos and updates daily. I needed a little extra time to get back from a road trip and she accommodated me with no problem. I highly recommend them for your boarding needs.”
“This is was my first time using Sheree for my dog Ocean. I was extremely satisfied. I received lots of amazing videos and pictures. Was updated the whole stay and felt wonderful knowing ocean was in good care. Ocean loved the stay and was very happy. I will continue trusting and letting Sheree care for my precious Ocean. Overall amazing!!!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“Jenny was amazing with our fur baby Charlie! She kept us updated throughout her time with our baby. He was very happy and that makes us very happy. Would definitely recommend Jenny and we will be repeat customers with her. Thanks Jenny!”
“Toya is so sweet with my cat!! Beyond just taking care of him with such care, she is quick to respond and updates me the whole time she is cat sitting and keeps my heart at ease. All the directions I asked her to follow were not taken lightly and she ensured the safety of my cat above all things. 10/10 would recommend Toya to anyone looking for a cat sitter!! She’s the best”
“Tonisa was great with our puppy, Dante. She kept in constant communication and put us completely at ease. It’s clear that she cares for the pets you leave with her and that makes you comfortable knowing your little one is just fine while you’re away”
“My dog was well taken care of and I was at ease knowing she was in good hands! We will definitely board with Elizabeth in the future. Thank you!”
“Cassidy is a jewel! My Princess was very happy with Cassidy and her family. I was very impressed with the family environment. I never worried one moment. Thanks for sharing frequent pictures and updates!”
“We recently boarded our dog , Harry, with Kat J. It was a very positive experience. Kat took wonderful care of our senior dog. She paid very close attention to all his needs. She shared photos of him every day, along with texts, describing his day. We would highly recommend Kat!”
“We love leaving our girls with Doris! We know she takes good care of them, and sends us daily updates and photos. We are already rebooked with her for our next trip!”
“Kassia is an excellent pet caregiver. Our goldendoodle, Sherby, is very attached to living with a family, and we were so relieved to have him stay in Kassia’s caring home while we were out of town. Already looking to book Kassia for our next vacation this summer.”
“Juliana is amazing. She was able to accommodate on such a last minute booking. Her eager to understand your pet is beyond grateful. She cares to the needs of the your pet in every aspect including teaching and developing. We look forward to holding onto Juliana for future bookings and continuing seeing her grow with her pet care and support. Thanks for everything Juliana, we appreciate you so much.”
