Wyatt and Liz were awesome with our two Ridgebacks. They were easy to communicate with, reliable, responsive, shared pics, and we could tell our pups had a great time. We won't hesitate to book them again and it's so great to have such great sitters close by. Thank you again!!

I can’t say enough good things about the care my 12-year-old baby Dharma received! Leaving an older dog behind is never easy, but from the moment we connected, I knew Dharma would be in loving hands. Mei was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly treated Dharma like part of the family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dharma came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands the needs of senior pups, Mei is the one. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!

I had a very last minute business trip and had to find someone very quickly and affordable to leave my dog with. It was my first time using this service and Cheryl&Gustavo were the only ones available in such short time to take my pup and take care of him for about a whole week. They gave my dog so much love and spent with him so much time, spoiled him like their own dog. I did get daily updates on him which was amazing. I’m so happy that they could help me and I honestly can recommend them to anyone that’s looking for someone who’s gonna spoil a pet like their own! I will definitely come back to them whenever I’ll be in need of such professional boarding care!

Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.

She also provided daily updates, sending multiple videos and pictures a few times a day :) thanks to Hoa, we were able to enjoy our trip, and our puppy Kringsley was very happy as well! We’ll definitely come back to Hoa when we are out of town.

My dog is in love with Serena (and she loves him back)! It is the most joyful setting you’ll ever find for your pet, because, like humans, pets need joy too! She takes her job as a sitter seriously, he will be cared for 24/7 and she really enjoys getting to know your pet. My dog loved all the attention. Bronx thanks you so much!!

We are so happy we found Michelle! She took amazing care of Winston - letting him sleep in bed with her and sending multiple pic updates a day. She also arranged a meet and greet beforehand to show us her space and her set up for dogs which was great for putting our mind at ease. We’ll definitely be using Michelle again in the future!

Bruno loved staying with Tanja! She was very communicative and responsible, and made sure to make him feel at home. We appreciated all the walks he got and the daily pictures. He even got sick while in her care and she gave him a special diet and tended to him, which we so appreciate. We always felt he was in good hands, and he was so happy he almost wouldn’t come home. Will be our first choice for boarding in the future :)

Boarded my 6 month old puppy for a week with Rachel and my pup loved it! I was nervous to leave my pup for so long for the first time, especially since a few days prior to boarding she was not feeling well. Rachel gave my pup her medication and kept me updated with photos and videos everyday. My pup looked like she had a fun time with Rachel and the other dogs that were visiting! I would definitly book with Rachel again.
