4. Elisabeth K.
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
5. Emily & Liza J.
“Emily is great with dogs and regularly watches my dog when I am away. She gives them all of the love they deserve and then more. Her house is great for my dog because she has a good sized backyard for him to play in and she has the ability to set up a chain when my dog goes outside without being directly supervised. She plays with my dog all the time and gives him plenty of exercise. Her dog is very friendly and loves other dogs - especially when they are willing to play with him!”
6. Stephen M.
“Stephen was absolutely awesome! Gabe is 11 and a first time boarder. We were nervous about finding the right fit! Gabe had an awesome time, with lots of walks, sniffs, and play. Stephen made sure to keep us updated everyday and we got great photos, too! I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking!”

11. Yuki (Xue) Y.
“Yuki was so great with our dog, Sadie! Her apartment is perfectly set up to welcome a dog and had toys at the ready. She kept Sadie entertained while we discussed her routine and needs. We felt very relieved to have found Yuki for Sadie's overnight care and we got some happy pictures of her while we were away. Yuki was very communicative and we appreciated her flexibility on timing of the drop offs and pick up. We look forward to having Yuki care for Sadie again. Thank you!”

13. Anne B.
“Anne was wonderful! I felt so comfortable and at ease leaving my dog, Maya, with her. Anne provided Maya with the best care in a happy, loving environment, and I’m very grateful.”
14. Emilia K.
“I boarded my 14 year-old senior dog GiGi with Emilia and am so pleased with the attentive care my dog received! I was concerned about leaving GiGi with a new boarder for the first time due to the fact that she’s a delicate dog at this point. Emilia was on board with all the care that GiGi requires now. Daily photos and messages from Emilia were greatly reassuring. The photos illustrated the tender care that GiGi was given. I have another upcoming trip soon and look forward to boarding GiGi with Emilia again.”
15. Rose F.
“I'm so glad to have found Rose to take care of our dog Izzy. I felt worry free leaving her with Izzy and appreciated all of the updates and photos while we were away. Seems like Izzy went on some fun adventures! I would definitely have Rose care for Izzy in the future.”
16. Kylie K.
“Kylie & John watched my dog Kate for two weeks and I could tell by the photos and text updates that she was relaxed and comfortable in their home. They are very easy going and caring; real dog lovers who understand dog behavior. When I picked up Kate, she was calm and seemingly happy. I was too, knowing that she was in the best of care while I was away. Thank you Kylie and John! Kate hopes to stay with you again.”
17. Matt W.
“Matt was wonderful with my senior dog Henry. He kept me in the loop on how he was doing during his stay. Thanks Matt!”
18. Kathleen B.
“Kathleen took great care of my big guy! It’s always tough with a nervous dog, especially one that’s 100lbs. She managed to keep him calm and safe during his stay and we are so grateful!”
19. Kelly D.
“Coconut's stay at Kelly's was fabulous. She took her out on an adventure, let her sleep on her bed, and overall showed a lot of empathy and understanding for pets. Her place is clean and very dog friendly. We would absolutely book with Kelly again!”
20. Elizabeth S.
“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”
