“Natalie and her family were wonderful! They made our shy furbaby feel right at home. Great communication from the first meet and greet to the day of pick up. It’s so nice to know we can relax and not worry about our furbaby when we are out of town.”
“What a fantastic experience all around! From initial contact to the end of the stay, I couldn’t be more pleased. His communication was excellent and disposition regarding my boys was comforting. I received updates with photos! Definitely going to use again! I HIGHLY recommend Corey!”
“Ashley & Weston took the best care of our Muffin. We had nothing to worry about and they kept us updated throughout Muffin’s stay! We’ll definitely be rebooking with them.”
“Kristin was great! Very accommodating and made our doggie feel like part of the family. We will definitely use her again in the future when needed!”
“Korra and Jessa got along great! Sara made sure Korra was fed, walked, and loved. She was reliable and provided photos and updates. Would rebook!”
“Look no further! Hire Melissa. I am so grateful we found her. Could not ask for a better caregiver for our dog. She and her home are lovely. She is accommodating, excellent with communication, sweet and wonderfully nurturing. My dog fell in love with her and her adorable little dog, Bo. Melissa is truly a blessing. You'll be lucky to book with her!”
“Finding Lindsey is the biggest blessing! I just moved to gulf shores with my puppy and have to go out of town to shoot weddings from time to time. I was so worried about leaving my fur baby in the right hands. Sandy (my dog) had so much fun at their BEAUTIFUL, spacious home that sits on so much land. She played in a sand pit and kiddie pool and I got updates all throughout the day of her having the time of her life. I don’t know what happened in those 3 days, but Sandy came back smarter than ever. She probably took some notes from their older dog Finn! Finn is Sandy’s first friend and I know she can’t wait to be reunited with him and Lindsey’s sweet family! Lindsey is really the best option for boarding.”
“Katie was a WONDERFUL rover for our female Labrador retriever. She has a lot of energy and Katie was able to exercise her all throughout the day in their large yard and was extremely responsive. We will definitely use Katie as a Rover in the future!”
“As ALWAYS Belle was a spoiled girl during her stay! Katie has kept Belle almost as much as I have during the past few months, which shows how much Belle loves her and how comfortable I am leaving her with Katie. I recommend her 110%!!!”
“Our sweet Sadie had the best week with Terwrin! She loved on her, gave me pic and video updates and her dogs were so friendly to mine! I couldn’t recommend more! Can’t wait to use her again in the future.”
“Sonya was absolutely amazing! She cared for Nipsey Hussle like he was her own. She kept him for a whole week and sent me several photos and videos while I was away. He looked like he was having so much fun, and we will certainly use her again.”
“Belinda is a wonderful host! She gave Ellie a loving and safe place to stay while we were on vacation. I wish I could give her 10 stars! She gave me daily updates and sent photos and videos throughout the day. I would highly recommend and will use her services again. Thank you Belinda!!”
“Kathryn was so kind and loved on our boy so well!! She even kept up with us after, checking in on him and his health when he had a health scare!”
“Aracely was wonderful with my two older cats. We were traveling cross country and wanted to stay with family that has bad alergies. My girls were stressed with all the in and outs of traveling and their stay with Aracely was a little kitty vacation. She kept me updated on their progress daily and sent me cute photos. She was a godsend....?”
“Absolutely wonderful I stayed up to date on my boys and they seemed to have a great time. Both her and her husband just have a very welcoming pet friendly home and you can tell that they really enjoy spending time with the animals. I will definitely be using them again for my next work trips.”
“My mother passed, and I inherited my “brother” Jake, which is a 10yr old, mixed breed, stubborn soul, and with people in and out paying their respects, he and my Moko were a bit much. In comes Atrisha, she got BOTH dogs, on short notice, so we could grieve. I know I couldn’t have done it without her, and she’s NOW got a new doggie to look after as well! Thank you for all you do Atrisha! 💝”
“Taylor was very nice and accommodating. Maggie seemed to have a great time and played with her dog Piper which my dog needs socializing as she is only 7 months old and an only pet. I would recommend Taylor to anyone and I’m sure I’ll use her again if Maggie wasn’t too much trouble while there with Taylor 😜😜. She kept in touch everyday and sent videos of the dogs playing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Wonderful experience! Great communication, quick to respond. Hurley was super happy! Thanks Terri! I would definitely recommend and use her again”
“Bruno had a great experience staying with Michael. He allowed us to come meet him and his dogs prior to the scheduled boarding. He also provided photos and a video while we were out of town. Highly recommend Michael!”
“Kimberly is just the best. My dog loves her, and I can feel at ease leaving him in her and her family's care. My dog is a character, and Kimberly is so understanding, kind, and attentive. She's a terrific person who has such an open heart to animals. I'd love to have her watch my dog again.”
