“Brittany and her family took such good care of our vizsla Satchi..we are new to the area and it’s a big relief to find a kind and caring dog sitter nearby. Thanks Brittany”
“Absolutely perfect at every turn. Francis was great with our Goldendoodle. She sent pictures and looked after her with great care. We can’t recommend her enough. The home was perfect for dogs with a fenced in backyard and comfortable places for her to sit/sleep/relax.”
“This is our third time to ask Jieun to help take care of Miaomiao. She is very nice and took several pictures and videos to keep us updated. Miaomiao really liked to stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets”
“Karen was amazing with my dog Nico. She sent lots of updates and pictures and took such wonderful care of him. She treated Nico like her own dog, and it was clear from the beginning that he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“This was my first time using Maria for dog boarding when we went out of town and I was very pleased with her. She took great care of my babies and provided me with daily updates. I’ll definitely be using her again and recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter 😊”
“Kristin was wonderful! She provided many updates while we were away so we could see how our pup was doing. It seemed like she was comfortable and had a great time visiting Kristin and her family! We will definitely book with Kristin again!”
“Kimberly, Victor, and Luke were amazing with Dr. Phil, they made it very easy and comfortable for me to leave my fur baby in their care. I will definitely use them again. Thank you guys”
“Erica, Thomas, and their family were amazing to my sweet Kona! She’s a young GSP so she’s very active and high energy. She’s a great dog but not everyone can handle her energy level. They were great and immediately knew what to do with exercising and treating her like family. It helps that they have a big front lawn and had other dogs staying with them too! Kona made great friends judging from the pics. But most importantly, they went out of their way to be her dog handler for us on our wedding day. They made our special day even more magical by letting Kona participate in the ceremony as our dog of honor. She was tired for 2 full days after we picked her up! That’s a long time for a GSP. So grateful!”
“Shannon was very considerate with our last minute request, which was appreciated. She did the meet and greet thoughtfully with her current pups, to give everyone the best chance of harmony. Bill came back from his stay with a wagging tail and was exhausted, both of which are a good sign. I wouldn't hesitate to use Shannon again!”
“Sherry was great! Very professional, flexible, good communication. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! They had lots of fun adventures together and I knew my pet was in good hands. I will use Sherry as my go to sitter from now on and will recommend her to others.”
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
“This is the third time we’ve boarded our 2 Coton de Tulear pups with Melisa. Again terrific. She is easy to communicate with, totally herself, with nice school age kids and a fenced in yard off the kitchen’s that is great for hours of play. My dogs come home well-cared for, happy and exhausted. And this year, when we couldn’t get into our house after vacation because refinished floors hadn’t dried, Melisa was kind enough to keep our dogs a few extra days. A life-saver. Thanks again!”
“Sadie loved her time with Nadjeska and her family! It was hard to leave her for the holidays but it was clear she felt right at home. It was helpful to get so many pictures and and know she was doing well. We would definitely book again!”
“Ariel was great. Our dog is very energetic either on chasing a ball or off resting. Ariel gave her just what she needed. Also Andie done how came home smelling great!”
“Holly and her family are wonderful! Our dog, Fly, is anxious in new situations, but when she returned for her second stay, she ran right up to Holly very excitedly! Holly went above and beyond for Fly, providing her with lots of attention and exercise! We received daily communication and photos. I highly recommend!”
“They did amazing with my semi rowdy Luna. I was updated everyday with lovely photos of her and her adventures! They accepted my last minute booking along with a meet and greet. It went as good as I could have expected plus more! I highly recommend and I will be booking in the future.”
“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”
“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”
