“Azure accepted my booking at the last minute. I am so happy I found her as she is located really close to me and she was phenomenal with Bella. She was so kind and caring. She also gave me updates as to how Bella was doing - that was special for me. I love that Bella was at a home rather than a kennel. I will defineitely be using her again. Thank you Azure!”

“This is the second time I've use Natalie for boarding since she did a great job the first time. My Lucy remembered where she was and was super excited to ser her again! Lots of pictures and updates daily. I will be using her the next time I need boarding again.”

“Allison and Nick were so great, you can tell how much they love animals!! We got lots of good updates and they took such good care of our pup. Their big backyard with a tall fence is perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”

“This was our first time taking our dogs to a sitter and Stephanie has set the bar high! She and her husband Chris made us feel comfortable immediately leaving Marley and Mack with them- especially over the holidays. Stephanie sent pictures and updates daily that we greatly appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again!”

“Lara was amazing! We were at a loss as to where to take our dog after he had a traumatic experience at the kennel. Lara kept us thoroughly updated, sent pictures and videos. We were so pleased with our experience and can’t wait to use her again!”

“The experience with Jennifer was amazing. Our dog clearly had fun and was comfortable from the start. We are so glad to have found Jennifer. Is she is exactly the type of person one would want to take care of their fur baby”

“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”

“Koya is a nervous girl which made me hesitant to leave her but she came back happy and brushed! I appreciate all the photo updates and I think Emily’s family did a great job of keeping her at ease and I’m sure they did a ton of playing which she and I both appreciate. We definitely plan to book again. Thank you!”

“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”

“Kristen was able to care for my dog even though it was very last minute! It was so nice to get updates from her throughout my dogs stay! She was very professional and easy to work with! So glad my dog got to stay with her!”

About: I hope what the pets owners like is that I am verry responsible and enjoy the company of pets. I have a dogs and a cat which I treat them like family. I will also make sure that they dont feel homesick provinding them with a safe space. Last but not less important I will play with the dogs so they dont get bored or lonely. I enjoy all types of dogs but mostly a puppy or little dogs but can take care of bug dogs. I hope that you will feel okey with letting a family member eith me. I'm currently working part-time. I would have time to take care of the pups and give them lots of love. I'm also available during weekends. I think communication is key. I time to have schedule for them including feeding times and walk time. I also need list of allergies in case I make puppy treats.
