Our mini golden retriever stayed an overnight with Kari and her sweet family. Cookie was embraced and became part of the family. She received great care and was very comfortable Cookie gave this dog airbnb a 5 star review. Thanks to Kari and her family. We hope to return again soon.

Brenda did a fantastic job keeping our 'baby' safe and happy! She kept us supplied with pictures showing Ezzie enjoying her surroundings and new friends. We would recommend Brenda for everyone wanting to go on vacation knowing that their animal is going to have as good of a time (probably better!) than they do in a caring, safe environment.

I recently had the pleasure of using Aaliyah's dog boarding services (for 5+ days), and I was very pleased with the experience. From the start, Aaliyah was very communicative, typically sending updates at the end of the day. These updates included not just adorable photos, but also detailed text messages that gave me peace of mind knowing my precious fur baby was well taken care of. Aaliyah's home is clean, welcoming, and a great environment for dogs/pets. This is extremely important to me because my pupper has a tendency to get into things he isn't supposed to if he has the opportunity. Her own dogs are a delight—fun and friendly, making for great companions for our pup. Her family is equally warm and engaging, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such a loving and attentive environment. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Aaliyah. Her dedication and the genuine care she shows for the pets she looks after are exceptional.

Joleen was amazing. We are new to the neighborhood and needed someone to watch our dog for an evening. Joleen was kind and our dog took to her instantly. She listened to our care instructions and within a few minutes of leaving our dog with her, she sent us a picture to show how happy our pup was. When we came to pick him up, he was happy (and exhausted from all the running he did in her yard!). We would definitely recommend Joleen. Was an amazing experience.

I had surgery so I found Chantel to watch my two dogs for two weeks. Well, what turned into two weeks turned into four weeks total and Chantel was very gracious to keep my two dogs for another two weeks, which was quite unexpected. Chantel did a very good job in meeting their needs and keeping me informed of how they were doing. I would highly recommend Chantel in the future.

Casey and her family were amazing! The dogs really seemed to enjoy playing with them. They have a nice yard for them to run and play. They seemed very happy there, which makes us happy. They took them in as part of their family, while we had to be away. That was such a relief for us. Thanks Casey and kids! God Bless you! K & D+

Aquilla agreed to board my dad’s 18-year-old dog when dad had a medical emergency. She responded quickly and I knew from the moment I chatted with her, that she would take amazing care of Charlie. And she did just that, above and beyond. I’d recommend Aquilla wholeheartedly.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my whole life. I used to own a black lab named chance. When I was young, we took care of him and took him on walks. He was a very shy dog that we rescued. When I got older. I got a bichon her name is Lime. We’ve had her for 18 years now and she is a blessing to my life. We Walker go runs with take her to the groomers vets and much more to make sure that she is safe and having the best life she can. I’m a college student and huge dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently intern at WSET ABC 13 News, where I’ve developed strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills. I have a tiny bichon named Lime who keeps life fun and energetic, and growing up I had a black lab named Chance, which helped build my lifelong love for animals. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! My main thing is to care for the dog as the client wants. I wanna make sure the dogs are exercised and also just happy overall. I’m available to do almost anything. The client wants to guarantee the happiness of your dog. As a fellow dog owner, I love my bichon. She’s such a blessing to me back home so I fully understand how far we’ll go to keep our little Furrey friends happy. (My bichon currently lives somewhere else)

Second time using Krystal, and if I have my way about it, I will never use another dog sitter! She is far and away the BEST sitter we have ever used!!! The way she goes above and beyond to give our pooch extra love and affection and attention...it's absolutely amazing!! We love getting picture updates, and she and her family are always walking him, doing tricks, snuggling, playing! He LOVED going back there, and that just speaks volumes!! He was so excited when we pulled into their driveway!! It means so much to me that we don't have to worry about him at all when we are away! Krystal, you rock!!!! 🩷
