“Lauren and Kelly are ahhh-mazing! They are so kind, accommodating and treat your pet like a part of their own family. They sent me photos throughout my time away. My dog came home so happy and I swear he was smiling when I picked him up! So trustworthy and loving to your furry family member. Can not thank them enough or say enough to express the feeling that you feel, knowing that your pet is safe and loved while you are away!!! 💗💕💗”

“I’m guilty of being a helicopter Mom. My dog is very attached to me and spoiled! Needless to say I was overly worried leaving Finn for 5 nights. Steve was amazing putting me to ease. He sent pictures and videos that clearly showed Finn both happy and comfortable. Finn will be a repeat customer:)”

“Alyne watched my 1yr 3mo old Boston Terrier, “Bōdie, while I was away for 6 days. Our meet and greet was smooth and easy. Alyne is a very calming personality and Bōdie took to her immediately as he did with her Dog Bruce. It all seemed like a good fit which was relieving since Bōdie has some challenges with anxiety. I felt lucky that we found a match. I dropped Bōdie off on a Saturday afternoon and went to Boston for a flight out early the next morning. I got a text from Alyne that Bōdie was not doing well. He was nervous, and agitated. He lunged at Alyne’s mom and it was difficult to introduce him to her boyfriend. Bōdie was not adjusting well. Yet I was about to board a plane to Arizona in 20 minutes. I was so concerned and upset for my dog at that time. I had to figure out the best thing to do on the fly. I started texting with my dog trainer who really calmed me down and gave instructions to handle Bōdie’s stress. I copied and pasted everything the trainer said to Alyne. Then I introduced them to each other on a text string in case Alyne needed any support from Emma during the time I was away and unavailable. All I could do was let go and trust that Alyne would care for Bōdie in a compassionate way even though he was presenting a challenge. I asked her to please understand Bōdie was scared and have understanding. I was really worried but had to try to let it go so it would not ruin my trip. Alyne would send me occasional updates on Bodie’s progress which was often not so good. Alyne let me know that since Bōdie had some bad behaviors she would have to crate him to de stimulate him. “If he is being aggressive I will have to keep him in the crate”. I totally understood Alyne’s position and told her that I agreed with her point of view. I was apologetic yet also worried for my dog. So, this situation was not a good one. But here is what I want to tell you, my assessment of Alyne was that she was calm, compassionate, and accountable. For this reason I decided that she would do the best that she could given his anxiety. She was forthright in informing me that she would have to limit his exposure to others if he misbehaved. But I could also tell that she was mindful that he was a scared puppy and she did not seem to hold that against him. She made sure he had play time with other dogs that he got along with. And she administered a prescription ointment to a skin condition that he had over his eye which was unrelated to the visit. The skin condition was improved when I came back. She made sure he had exercise, was fed properly etc. During the visit, Alyne indicated that Bōdie would likely not be welcomed back for future visits, which I understood fully. I did pick him up 18 hours earlier than scheduled to make it easier for her and did not ask for any refund for the final day which she deserved for her trouble. When I did pick him up last night, he was very skittish and over stimulated. I put him in his crate in the car where he calmed down. Then I talked with Alyne for a good 20 mins and she told me of her experiences and observation of Bōdie over the past five days. I got great feedback from Alyne that I will use with my trainer in future sessions. I saw where and how she isolated Bōdie and it is exactly what a I would have done if I were in her position. At the end. Alyne even mentioned that it might be possible to just have Bōdie come for occasional day-care-only sessions to help him desensitize more gradually. (Perhaps she saw a possibility for him after all?) It may have just been a case of too-much-too-soon. This revealed to me Alyne’s true level of compassion for dogs in general. It told me that she was not ruffled easily and understood Bodie’s plight. I was amazed as I drove away with the impression that she would be open to a day care session with him in the future, given the right circumstances. I took Bōdie home. He was skittish and jumpy. He pulled on the leash and growled. But I sat him on the bed and gave him treats every time he looked in my eyes. And he calmed down. Then I took him in the shower and he simply melted into me and relaxed under the warm water. He was home. Today he is back to minding and being a happy puppy. I can see that he will need a little bit of training reinforcement but that is to be expected and all is well. This was a situation that, with different people, could have been a disaster. But because Alyne and I were both willing to work together and we understood each other’s position, we each did what we could do to make the best of the situation. We each tried to make it easier for the other, it ended up with a positive outcome. There is one thing that I wish Alyne would have done. And that is just to let me know: “I got this” , “he will be ok, I will just have to isolate him at times and this will work out.” It would have been really helpful if she would have reassured me that, though there were difficulties, she would handle it and that she would be accountable to keep my puppy well. I needed that from her. It is for that reason that my rating for Alyne is 4.5 on the scale of 5. But since a .5 score is not calibrated into this system I would have to judge her closer to the 5. As it was, I got the reassurance from Bodie’s trainer who was also at an airport headed to another state. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend Alyne as a possible go-to care for your dog when you are away. Even though she might not actually say it, she “is” accountable to do her job for you and your beloved pet. Alyne is also straight forward and will tell it to you like it is. But that is a good thing because you will always know where she stands. Her communication is clear. Another thing : Bōdie came home clean. He smelled good. The shower was not because he needed it, it was to calm him down. All of his belongings were returned in the same condition as they were. No dirty leash or collar etc. I just had to clean out one ear! Lol. Alyne said that one of his toys was lost and she looked for it but couldn’t find it. It was no big deal to me. I barely remembered what it was. Go ahead, make the appointment with her. Even if there is a challenge, it will work out, if you work together.”

“Megan food a great job with our one year old springer pup. Megan was flexible, communicative and kind. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She watched out fog and did an overnight.”

“Marc is everything I hoped for in a dog sitter! He was very welcoming when we first set time aside to meet and make sure it was a good fit (i had no doubts to begin with). We have two dogs and our girl Mila is 8 months. We were away for two nights and this was her first time overnight at another home. What I loved is that Marc kept us updated with pictures and descriptions of their day. He took the dogs on walks every morning, he has a great yard for them to run around and play, he even brushed them and they came back to us smelling amazing! Another great point to make is that he gives them his full attention and they are never left alone. This was very important to me especially with our young one. My older pup is very used to travel and new spaces but I still need the peace of mind knowing he is getting the attention he needs. I would recommend Marc for anyone looking for dog sitting/boarding and will absolutely be using his services again in the future!! It is worth every single penny to know your fur babies are safe and in the best possible care!”

“Karen took great care of our dog Dempsey. Great communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely book a stay there again. Strongly recommend her if you are going to the Cape beaches during the summer when dogs aren’t allowed.”

“David and Mary are outstanding! We are so grateful to have found them. Kara and Shelly were walked much and we were updated with pictures. Kara is high anxiety; Mary and David took her on lots of walks and took the time to figure out what worked best for her. Mary asked the the appropriate questions and was always reassuring that the dogs were all getting along well. Our flights were delayed a day coming home and Mary and Dave were so accommodating as well as gracious about taking the dogs on extra walks before pick up so they would be tired for us to get rest when we got home with them which was so fantastic and thoughtful. I highly recommend Dave and Mary!”

“Adrienne took great care of Stella! I could tell Stella was very comfortable with her. Adrienne was super easy to work with and flexible with our crazy travel schedule. Highly recommended for overnight stays, Stella will definitely be staying with her again!”
