“Lauren and her pup took great care of our Ellie for a full week! Lots of photos and video updates were sent to us all week long. Would definitely use her again and highly recommend! Thanks Lauren!”
2. Renana M.
“Where do I start? Renana is the BEST! I feel so grateful to have found her. This was only my second time leaving scout and she was amazing. Sent me pictures and he just had a ball! So well taken care of and she is just a doll. Do not hesitate to book with her!”
3. Amanda W.
“Amanda is amazing! Our senior pup was clearly well loved and doted after (and frankly, is probably dreaming about being able to go back to Amanda!). 100% recommend.”
4. Erica & Thomas C.
“Our puppy received the most loving care from Erica & Thomas (and their kids!). We went away on vacation knowing he was in the best hands possible, allowing us to feel secure knowing he was happy and healthy. We received daily updates/pictures with any issues, which we deeply appreciated. We will continue to use them for care for our puppy in the future!”
5. Mary Jo M.
“Mary Jo was absolutely perfect. We have never left our pup with anyone before and we were a little nervous about it. Mary Jo put us at ease and took great care of our St Bernard. Communications were perfect, updates were timely and we will ABSOLUTELY be using Mary Jo again!”
6. Chandra B.
“Chandra was great with my Chihuahua. He got all the love he needed and then some. She sent pics while my dog was at her house and he seemed happy. I highly recommend Chandra.”
7. Shannon C.
“Shannon hosted our dog for a week while we went on vacation. I highly recommend her! We had a meet and greet prior and then checked in before the start day. Shannon was always quick to respond. She knows dogs so well and took great care of our lab. She also sent a couple of photos and videos while we were away. We will definitely be returning to Shannon the next time there is a need! Thank you so much Shannon!”
8. Laura C.
“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”
9. Heidi W.
“Our little dog, (Dogo) is very shy, she's not comfortable going with just anyone. Heidi is her magic best friend who can always get her excited to come for a walk or a visit. Heidi is the only person we trust to take Dogo for the weekends when we are away, we know that she'll be happy, well cared for, and totally spoiled!”
10. Kelcie A.
“Kelcie was amazing! We went on our first vacation without our dog and I was worried about leaving her. However, I quickly realized that there was nothing to worry about as my puppy was in the best care. Kelcie sent me pictures and through those pictures and texts I truly felt that Kelcie loved my dog and that put me at such ease. I would recommend her over and over again! She is the best!”
11. Cayton M.
“This was the second time we boarded our special needs shih tzu with Cayton - this time for an overnight. I was super nervous about how she would do as Mattie has limited sight and can get quite anxious. Thankfully - it could not have gone better. Cayton is AMAZING!!! She is so loving and gentle with Mattie and sent photos and updates to let us know how things were going. We highly recommend Cayton and plan to book her again for a longer stay in the near future. THANK YOU CAYTON!!!”
12. Sara G.
“We absolutely adore Sara! She’s dog sat our 8 year old terrier, Messi, multiple times when we’re away on vacation. Sara is sympathetic and trustworthy of taking good care of our home.”
13. Julius G.
“We love Julius and so does our pup! We've used his family so many times and each time has been easy and no problems at all. It's so nice having peace of mind that our pup is loved and well cared for.”
14. Melisa M.
“Melisa was the best! She took such good care of our girls while we were away. She was thoughtful, respectful of their normal routines, and a great communicator. There’s just nothing like peace of mind when leaving your pets for days at a time.”
15. Frances P.
“Fran is truly a dog whisperer. She has a unique ability to connect with every dog she meets. When I leave Henley with her, not only do I trust her implicitly, but I take comfort in knowing how loved Henley is in her care. She is a source of information whenever I have a question about Henley health. She is simply the best. I could not recommend her services enough! We love Fran!!!”
16. Ariel T.
“Took amazing care of my Layla. I felt very comfortable being away from her….the picture mail I received was an added bonus and made my heart smile.”
17. Joe B.
“Joe took great care of Banjo! Banjo is super small and has a lot of anxiety around new places, but I could tell he settled in quickly and felt very comfortable. Would book with Joe again any time!”
18. Carla R.
“Carla came through last minute and took great care of Max!”
19. Tina B.
“Tina and her family are lovely! They looked after our dog Bolt for a few hours while we were at a game at Mohegan Sun. Tina was friendly, responsive, and accommodating, and Bolt had a great visit :)”
20. Laura G.
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
