Emily and her family welcomed Nova so easily. I appreciate their willingness to be flexible with her. Thank you for watching our puppy for a couple days.

We are completely satisfied at the care our dog received from Tiffany. We received lots of photos and updates through the week he was there. He got his own little get away while we took our trip. We 100% would use her again and highly recommend.

Kathryn gave my buddy Cowboy to the best vacation while I was out of town. He laid on the couch, played with Potatoe, and received all the love I could ask for. Highly recommended.

Great experience with my anxious kitty. I had never boarded my cat before and Angela kept me updated on everything from litter box usage to energy levels. She sent pictures multiple times a day and was very responsive. The cat has their own private space where they can be comfortable in a new place.

I had to leave my dog for a longer period than I ever have before, and I was really nervous about it. That completely changed when I met Jerrie! She was so kind and understanding about my anxiety, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my trip, she communicated consistently and sent photos, which made such a difference and helped me relax knowing my dog was in good hands. When I picked her up, it was clear my dog was happy to see me, but also that she had truly bonded with Jerrie and loved her. That meant everything to me. I will absolutely be using Jerrie from now on whenever I need to leave my dog. Highly recommend!

Jesse was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bella. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets he looks after. While we were away, he sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We recently moved to the area and had to board Bella a few times before finding Jesse—and those experiences were stressful for both her and for us. This was completely different. Bella was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for in his home. It made such a difference knowing she was in such great hands. We’re so grateful to have found Jesse and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

Amanda took great care of our worried whippets! It took a day or 2 for the younger one to settle down but they were pretty comfortable after that. 8 nights she watched them and I could tell they did well because they actually ate most of their food! Ellie & Laney can't wait to stay again😊

Mabel loved Joe, she was very attentive with updates and pictures. We got stuck crossing back over the border and were late picking up our pup and she was very gracious with us about it. We’ve already booked our next sitting with her! Highly recommend!
