Top rated Elsah dog boarders
“This was our first time boarding our fur baby! Leah sent me pictures and kept me updated. My bougie dog enjoyed himself with other dogs. 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be a returned customer”
“Belle loved her stay at Katie's! She seemed to have a lot of fun with her new friends. Starting from the moment Belle was picked up, Katie sent updates and pics every day, which made me feel so at ease! I love that she slept with my baby when she seemed to need a little extra comforting. I highly recommend Katie and her family! We will definitely keep coming back!”
“Laronna and her Mom were great sitters! Mocha is a senior dog and wears diaper but they were able to accommodate her. Mocha was comfortable and happy. We love the pictures and videos update. We highly recommended her and will definitely use her service again. Thanks again Laronna!”
“I can't say enough about how wonderful Raina was watching my dog. So kind and playful with him. And she sent tons of pictures and videos. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much. Bill”
“Chloe had a blast!! She was completely worn out by the time we picked her up! I loved getting pictures and updates of her while I was away. Will definitely be using Brittany again!”
“As always, Ebony took great care of our pups -even our 1-year-old border collie puppy that NEVER gets tired! So thankful to know that the dogs will be happy & in good hands when we leave town for a while (whether with the family for vacation or for work)!”
“Francie is an AMAZING pet caregiver/sitter. She shared numerous updates with videos and pictures. Not only was my dog "Granny" well cared for, she had a blast. This was the first time that a family member did not keep Granny for me and I was concerned at first, but all of my concerns were gone with updates. I think my dog misses her buddies that she got to play with.”
“Katie saved me with a last minute request and took amazing care of our 1yr old boxer. She sent photos throughout and when we picked her up I could tell she was at ease from her stay. She took her on walks, played and cuddled, and will definitely rebook with her.”
“My dog recently tore his CCL and I had to go out of town for the weekend to go to a funeral and was nervous about finding a place for him to stay. Found Jennifer and was completely at ease. Appreciated all of her updates and was a relief knowing he was enjoying all of his favorite activities like sunning in the yard and getting scratches.”
“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”
“Gabrielle was very nice with my pup. Easy drop off and pick up, I was missing a food bowl and he even provided one for my pup as well as a crate and sent me many videos and pictures of my girl until I was back in town. My plane ride was delayed and she even offered to hold my pup until I could get to her! Would definitely book with Gabrielle again!”
“Jimmy and Melanie were extremely helpful and took great care of both of our dogs. Their communication with us was great and they even sent a few pictures/videos of the pets while we were gone. We definitely recommend them and plan to use them in the future. Thanks again!”
“Worked really well with my not so easy dog! Was responsive and sent a lot of photos and videos! I would definitely recommend her and will be going back!”
