Katie and her family took incredible care of my little fur baby. It was the first time that Bodhi was left with anyone but family and Katie took incredible care of him. I would definitely use Katie again.

We had such a great experience with Kristin! She took amazing care of our dog, Ozzy, and it was clear how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. She sent lots of picture updates, which we really appreciated, and it was so sweet to see Ozzy having fun and settling right in. He also got along wonderfully with her dog, Kaia, which made us feel even more at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommend Kristin!

Patrick and Susan were awesome to have to board our dog with! We normally leave him with family so it was our first time leaving him with a sitter. They took great care of him, took him on some adventures, and sent lots of photos and updates. We were not worried about him at all while we were gone. Highly recommend!

Kristin took great care of Murphy while I was out of town. Murph is a very anxious pup and she made sure he was as comfortable and at ease as possible! She sent me regular updates and pictures and made sure he felt at home.

Amanda was amazing. She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on our pup. We have an older dog and have been worried about leaving her with someone we didn’t know but Amanda and family were absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be repeat customers!!

Allison was great with watching our dog! We had a short notice request and she was able to communicate effectively and efficiently what would work with her schedule along with ours. She sent updates and photos regularly. Our dog had tons of fun running around in her fenced in yard! Thanks again Allison. 10/10 recommend.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!

Oakley absolutely loves to see Katie, Monty and his pals. He cried pulling up to her house at drop off knowing exactly where he was, and what fun was to be had!! Katie always provides photos of our best boy, and really gives an all around great experience for both our family and pup. We’re so grateful for Katie!!!

Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!

I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Christle! From the moment I met her, I fell in love with her beautiful yard and her sweet dogs — it’s truly a dog paradise. I have a very anxious pup with lots of different triggers, and Christle was amazing at helping me feel at ease. Over the two weeks my dog stayed with her, she sent updates and reassured me that my fur baby was doing great and adapting well — which really speaks to her and her family’s incredible patience and care. I am almost at disbelief with how well my dog was doing in her home! It was so clear that she treated my dog like one of her own — she completely spoiled her in the best way possible! From providing cuddles to sharing her canned food with my dog, it is clear that Christle is passionate about going above and beyond the dogs who come through her home. It was such a relief to know my pup was in such loving hands. I’ll 100% be booking with Christle again — she’s the best! 🐾

I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.

We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!

Alan and Luis did a great job with my big ball of fur while I was on a business trip. They sent me lots of pictures which is and updates which is a great thing to have. They let me know how she was playing with other dogs and settling in. She has some slightly unique feeding needs and they didn't bat an eye. I was very happy.
