Jeff was great right from the get go. Great communication and really attentive to our needs. He was very active with giving us updates while Daisy was in his care. Daisy (our dog) seemed to have loved it :). We will definitely use Jeff again.

"We love Buddy," Janice said when we picked him up, and I don't doubt it. He's always in good spirits when we pick him up, and we don't have to worry or wonder what's going on in Janice's home when he's there. Looking forward to his upcoming 4-night stay in two weeks.

This was Bluey’s first time being away from home as he is still a pup. Amruta ensured he’d be safe and well taken care of and he certainly was. Bluey needed additional time warming up because he is shy and Amruta was very understanding and accommodating. It was also hard for me but Amruta reassured me with photos, videos and prompt replies. Thank you for taking such good care of our puppy. If you are looking for quality care please don’t hesitate to book with Amruta. Thank you again, we appreciate you and will use your services again!

110% recommend! Maria was excellent. We are new to NY and were in a rush to find someone to watch our pup. We got very lucky to have found Maria! She showed true passion and love for our pup just with one visit! She also noticed that he had an ear infection and took it upon herself to do something about it- can you say amazing? She ALSO gave him a bath— literally doesn’t get any better! We will certainly be using Maria again! Can’t thank her enough! ??

We left our two dogs with Brandie for a week long vacation. We had never boarded them for any reason before and were very nervous about leaving them with anyone. Brandie was sensitive to how our two small dogs might react to her large dog during the meet and greet, but there turned out to be no problems. She and her husband were very respectful of our pups and we left quite comfortable choosing her. During our trip Brandie sent us updates with pictures every day and it was clear our dogs were happy and being loved. They were often showed playing or being active during the day. Brandie was extremely communicative about all aspects of the stay. We will definitely use Brandie again if we need to travel without the dogs.

Thayla took care of our dog Foxy, while we were away on a 2 week trip. My family and I felt so comfortable leaving her with Thayla, because she is an extremely nice dog loving person who treated our dog like her own. She took our dog on 3 walks everyday, sent us pictures and updates everyday about the fun things they were doing. Will definitely leave Foxy with Thayla and her dogs next time we are going away again. Thank you ❤️ Camilla and Foxy
