1. Brittany R.

“Brittany was as sweet as could be--and side note: ADORABLE twin toddlers! ;-) Apparently Buster and the tots kept each other busy to the point of everyone napping by the end of the visit. I was visiting from out of town for a family event, and if/when I go again, I'll definitely leave Buster with Brittany. Thank you so much, Brittany!”


2. Neal T.

“Neal and his entire family were wonderful with our dogs Cash and Gizmo. I decided last minute to take my wife to the beach for her birthday. Neal was happy to accommodate my last minute request. We got updates and photos each day, and it was obvious that our pups were comfortable with Neal and his family. To quote my wife, leaving them with Neal was the first time she had ever felt comfortable leaving our dogs with a sitter, and felt like they were really being taken care of, and loved on like we would. Neal will definitely be our first call going forward for someone to care for our dogs.”


3. Amy & John L.

“I’m hesitant to tell y’all how wonderful they are for fear they may get booked up! 😂 Seriously though, our pup was with them for 10 days and we never had to worry one bit. It was more like summer doggy camp than boarding! He loves it so much with Amy & John!”


4. Holly L.


“We loved Holly! She was pleasant to communicate with. She welcomed myself and our pups into her home with ease. She kept us updated throughout their overnight stay, sent pictures and videos. Ive never seen my two pups warm up to someone as quickly as they did Holly! She was great!”


5. Annie H.

“Annie was amazing! I have a reactive dog and she was more than willing to accommodate her, she knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


6. Analee F.

“Wow! Easily the best boarding situation we've experienced. Great communications, excellent set up of different fenced in areas, friendly pack of dogs to play with and even a day trip to a local fenced-in private acreage... Will definitely be re-booking in the future even though it's a bit out of our way.”


7. Heather K.


“Heather exceeded my expectations, she took good care of Deedee, Heather kept me informed the whole time by sending pictures and making sure she felt comfortable. Thank you very much Heather!!”


8. Natalie M.

9. Charlotte & Justin K.

“Moji and Manny had a good time with Charlotte and Justin. They took great care of our little four-legged family members. We will stay with them again!”


10. Angela R.

“Angela and her family was absolutely wonderful. She was able to care for our two babies last minute and they had an absolute blast. Angel sent pictures and videos of them playing outside and even cut their toe nails. I would 100% recommend her and rebook with her when we’re back in town.”


11. Danielle P.

“Our Trooper is a high needs dog and Danielle did an outstanding job with him. It is easy to see she loves animals of all shapes and sizes. Every picture sent our boy was smiling! We are over the moon with the fantastic care she provided and are thankful to have found a sitter that is incredibly kind and caring! We HIGHLY recommend her and appreciate all she did - walks, introducing our big guy to cats and play time with her terrier. It was lovely for us and Trooper!”




12. Olga H.

“Olga and her family were great with our German Shepard. River came home smelling clean and the right amount of wore out. He clearly had a great time and was in great care. We will certainly be using Olga and her family again! Thanks for taking care of our doggo!”


13. Ayaka S.

“Akaya did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. We got daily photos and videos and Jessie felt right at home. We will definitely use her again!”

15. Devin P.

“My sweet boy is so happy after spending the week at Devin’s! She sent us pictures daily and it was clear he was having a blast. She is also great with communication. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby!”


16. Dara P.

“Omg .. Dara was great. One of my dogs is not a people person but she (Nala) could not stop loving her when I got them back. This made me feel really good about leaving my babies with someone other then my son. I never liked going to do anything without feeling guilty but I feel so comfortable doing things now .. Thank you soooo much”


17. Kimberly S.

“As always, Kim was wonderful! I got pictures everyday of my sweet boy and he always comes back pooped because he played his heart out. I never worry about him when he’s with her 💙”


18. Valerie G.

“Valerie took exceptional care of my pup, providing me with pictures and status updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend her service and plan to use it again in the future.”


19. Anne B.

“Anne did a great job communicating and sending pictures. She was available at the last minute and helped me out of a jam. Our dog was clean and calm when we picked him up and acted like he had stayed with family; I was so relieved he wasn't traumatized!”


20. Ciara J.
“I highly recommend Ciara as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She cared for my dog, Nola, with incredible attentiveness and compassion. Ciara was always communicative, providing regular updates and ensuring Nola’s needs were met. She administered meds when needed and paid close attention to Nola’s routine, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and exercised. Her genuine love for animals was evident in the way she interacted with Nola, treating her as if she were her own. It also helps that she is a vet tech and knows exactly what to do in case of an emergency! I felt completely at ease knowing Nola was in Ciara’s care, and I would trust her again without hesitation.”
