Top rated Far Southwest dog boarders


“Susie was amazing! She was able to take our diapered dog in a last-minute emergency and took excellent care of her! We loved all the updates we got. We highly recommend Susie!”


“Abe did a great job taking care of my challenging little guy and even offered to keep him again in the future. I had no worries while I was out of town and got daily pics and updates. Thanks so much Abe!”


“Sharon gave our twelve year old Bennett all the love and care he deserves (of course we think he does) plus knowing that we had not left on vacation for years kept in touch with us frequently enough we knew he was doing fine. We would not hesitate to use her again. Highly recommend.”


“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”


“This was Jasper’s first stay with Elizabeth, and it certainly won’t be his last! She took care of him like one of her own and kept us updated regularly. Despite having the reputation as the “party police”, Jasper settled in well and enjoyed his time playing with other dogs.”


“We felt very fortunate that Patricia took care of our 2 dogs. I would recommend her to anyone. We felt that our animals were cared for, had great communication, and an overall great experience.”


“Ashley was amazing with my dogs! She sent updates and photos everyday and took wonderful care of them everyday! She walked them, gave them lots fo cuddles and I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her! Thank you so much!”


“We feel so fortunate to have found Carol J. to care for our furry kids! Carol is most awesomely wonderful! We read Carol’s reviews, went for a visit with her, and hired her— and we are ecstatic that we did. Carol treated our babes like we do but probably even better. Carol has a huge yard full of wondrous exploration opportunities and my dog loved her time there gardening with Carol so much so that she didn’t seem terribly excited to go home! Our cat spent her days observing fabulous gardens out of the numerous window choices in Carol’s home & acted as if she’d just had a remarkable spa experience at Carol’s. Carol sent us photos everyday with notes about what our pets were doing so we had zero worries or concerns about them. Our dog had just begun 3 new medications before we left & Carol handled all of those perfectly. Our dog can be very manipulative in trying various stunts to get extra treats and Carol caught on to those immediately. We don’t travel as often as we’d like but after finding Carol, that could change! Carol would be our GoTo Top Choice for pet boarding. She knows animals, she loves animals, she’s super-conscientious, & she provided daily updates with great communication. For this trip, our biggest concern had been our pets & where to board them. Finding Carol turned that into zero concerns about boarding them. Thank you so much, Carole; you are a true gift to our community.”


“Peter and his wife are exceptional. We did a meet and greet before hand for a longer sit, and they also accepted a shorter notice sit for me as well. Our pups got on great, and I had so much peace of mind while I was away. Truly wonderful and will absolutely be using them again.”

“John and his family are the best! They always treat him like he’s their own and part of the family. We can’t thank them enough for being flexible and making things stress free when our flight got delayed”



“Jamie and Nicole were the perfect hosts for my sweet Ralph. He was the only pet in their care and got all the love and attention he is used to getting at home. I received sweet updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend them to care for your pampered pet.”


“Wonderful sitters! They sent me so many sweet pics and videos of my pup and I knew I didn’t have to worry about him while in their care. 10/10 will book again”


“My little dogs looked so comfortable during their stay! My 9 lb pup can be standoffish, but I had barely left and got a picture of him snuggled up! There are cute little touches, like the white board where they write down what your pup needs and a litte treat package at pickup. You can tell Ashley and her mom love dogs! Would definitely leave my pups there again!”


“Myriah did such a great job listening and supporting our dog. Leaving your dog is hard but she was incredibly reassuring to his needs and personality. As well as sending many pictures throughout.”


“Leslie’s home was a great Home away from home for our dog! She provided lots of care, updates, and home made treats. Our dog was completely comfortable in her home, which has a large fenced in backyard and lots of places to rest and snuggle!”


“Yvonne took amazing care of my sweet Greta while I was out of town for the week. She pampered her, sent me regular updates, and even administered meds. I will definitely use again!”


“Maggie was great with our dog, Sam. She was accommodating, friendly, responsive, and communicative. We received daily pictures and video updates during his stay. Overall we were very pleased with her and will acquire her services again!”
