“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Kiko! Megan and Jenny were so flexible, thoughtful, and sent us lots of updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kiko was clearly in great hands — we’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!”


“Great experience boarding our pup with Karen. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with taking care of your pup where you will be comfortable they will make the right decisions if anything unexpected arises. We are glad we spent the time to find and board with Karen.”


“Our dog stayed with Lee twice and had the best time ever. Lee is so trustworthy, kind, and warm. Our dog is nervous and showed no signs of fear around Lee or the other pups in her care, she immediately ran around like she was at home. Lee provided updates and photos and helped give us a peace of mind while we were on vacation and away from our girl. LEE IS THE BEST!”


“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”

“Lilly is wonderful and provided an exceptional level of care for my dog!! It was the first time in a while that I was leaving my ten year old pup with someone new, but it was clear from Lilly’s questions and updates that she was treating my dog as her own!!
