“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help in finding Sadie a new and wonderful home with a playmate. Your attention and love towards animals is so refreshing. Thank you for everything once again.”
“My dog fell in Love with Liz. She was so happy and comfortable in her home. I received regular updates and photos and always. Lucky was smiling and on Liz's lap. Liz is awesome!”
“Kym was great with my pup. While I was out of town visiting family and living my best life, Pixie was living her best life with Kym. She made sure that she got plenty of exercise and snuggles and even took her out on the golf cart which she loved. I really appreciate that Kym was able to watch my dog on fairly short notice as well after my primary sitter became unavailable. I may have just found a new primary sitter.”
“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”
“Kai had no problem leaving me to stay overnight with Jessica. She sent pictures. He looked happy and content in all of them. She communicated with me several times with questions about his care which I appreciate. This place felt laid back and comfortable - not rigid or overbooked like some of those business places. I'll be sure to use her again in the future.”

Will definitely use her again and I highly recommend!”
