Very flexible and understanding. I had a significant flight delay and couldn't pick up as planned and she allowed me to pick up the next AM with no issue. Prompt communications!

Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.

Regina is by far the best dog boarder I have ever had the pleasure of using. She makes being away from your dog so much less stressful. Daily updates and pics. I won't go to anyone else. She's simply the best

Thank you for another great stay with Valerie! Archie, our golden retriever, had a wonderful time playing and relaxing in the big fenced in yard, loved playing fetch, too. We appreciated the updates and photos and especially the accommodation of adding another night to Archie’s stay. We will definitely rebook!

We are so thrilled to find Cherie. She and her family are so great to our dogs, who by the way have anxiety, but the dogs seem to feel good about going to Cherie's.

Jana provided a loving and caring home for my dog while I was away. I appreciated her updates and photos. It was great for my dog to have so much affection and attention, not to mention a large fenced in yard to run around in. I highly recommend Jana!

This was the first time Dipper has stayed with William. She did very well. William is very kind and this was reflected in Dippers behavior when I picked her up-relaxed, tail wagging, as if she'd come from a mini-vacation. Great communication and plenty of pictures too!

Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.

Kiersa was awesome! She watched our dog, Millie for 10 days while we were on vacation. She was honest and upfront about having other pets staying with her. She was responsive and shared reassuring photos when we checked in (mostly photos of Millie chilling on the couch with other dogs). Highly recommended.

Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!

I always worry when I leave Brandy somewhere and I can’t be with her. I had ZERO worries with Diana! She was also very accommodating with a last minute change. I received pictures periodically to see how Brandy was doing which was very nice as well. I will definitely be contacting Diana in the future!

Jeremiah (and fam) were an awesome match for our Luna girl. After the meet and greet went well we knew their dog Shadow and Luna would play well. Jeremiah communicated when needed and accommodated Luna’s needs (medication, quirks, etc). 10/10 would recommend Jeremiah for dog sitting again!
