17. Carly B.

“Carly is amazing, we have boarded Pluto twice at her place, and it's been such a great experience. Carly and her husband made an extra effort to meet Pluto and patiently listened to all the details related to him. Since Pluto is a slightly anxious dog, we were looking for someone who understands his requirements and thats where Carly has been fantastic. I got regular updates and could see Pluto was really comfortable at her place. Any pet parents reading this should not think twice before booking with her. :)”


18. Wendy C.

“Wendy made me feel 100% comfortable leaving our 12-year old long-haired dachshund with her in her lovely, animal friendly home. She and her husband have 2 small, sweet dogs of their own and Utley felt at home. They went outside for walks and Wendy sent pictures of Utley snuggling at her side or in his bed next to her pups. When we went to visit before our stay, Utley was eager to go inside her home and never looked back (always a good sign!). When my husband went to pick him up, Wendy gave us feedback that made it clear she paid close attention to him even when he awoke pre-dawn the first couple of nights. 💖😊”


19. Janice K.


“Janice was so wonderful and accommodating, especially with my schedule changes. She sent me pictures and updates to let me know my buddy was doing just fine. I picked up a happy dog and couldn't be more satisfied. I'll definitely be back.”
