“My Maple is a repeat guest. This week, she was very excited to be dropped off at Marlene's, and a little sad when it was time to pick her up. Next time I'm expecting that Maple will refuse to come home. But we will keep boarding with Marlene anyway, because she is incredibly kind and takes such amazing care of my high-maintenance pup.”

She followed Dudley’s detailed treatment regimen to the tee & put my mind at ease while I traveled out of town. He had an amazing time playing with her dog while soaking up some sun in her beautiful backyard. She is patient, considerate and great with communication while caring for your fur babies. Dudley & I thank you sooooo much!!!”

“Highly recommend! Murphy had the best time with Christian! I was super nervous leaving Murphy with someone he didn’t know for a few days, but as soon as I met Christian and his family, I felt instantly comfortable. They were so friendly and welcoming! Christian was awesome with communication — even before I dropped Murphy off, he answered all my questions and made the whole process easy. While I was away, he sent just the right amount of pics and videos of Murphy living his best life, which made me feel so much better. Picking him up was super easy too. Honestly, I can’t recommend Christian enough — will definitely be booking with him again!”

Our dog warmed up to Endre immediately which was a relief because she can be a reactive dog. Endre provided us timely updates to show that our dog was happy, safe, and in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Endre to take care of our fur baby in the future. Thanks Endre!

Exceptional care for your furry family members and peace of mind for pet parents. We could not be more pleased with the care our dog received from Heather. From start to finish, it was clear that he was in excellent hands. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog returned to us happy, relaxed, safe, and healthy—clear signs of thoughtful and compassionate care. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

I cannot say enough great things about Alycia and her fiancĂŠ. They are two truly lovely people who treated our pup, Nova, like their own and made sure she had the best care (even getting her a Christmas gift!) while my husband and I were away for the holidays. I can sometimes be an anxious dog mom, and Alycia put me at ease right from the start by jumping on a call to introduce herself before booking and then continuing to send pictures and updates throughout Nova's stay. I will absolutely be booking with Alycia again, and I know Nova cannot wait for another staycation with her new favorite sitters!

I had to take an extended trip for almost 3 weeks, and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was away. I knew they would be in good hands during the meet and greet because she is such a warm person and has a lovely home with a backyard which made the extended time away more manageable for my pups.

This was my third time using Christian, and once again, everything went perfectly! Even though I had a hectic weekend and ended up getting sick and droping off a date late and two days early, he made pickup and drop off super easy. Murphy absolutely loves going there. He knew exactly where we were headed and was so excited when we pulled up. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands every time!
