“Simply the best. We’ve taken our boys to Kristy several times now. They know when we’re getting close to her house and always so happy to walk right inside! She’s amazing! Thank you, Kristy!”


“Morgan was quick to respond when I had questions before and during his stay. She also sent pictures of him. Dante had a great stay based on his tail wags! He even howled his goodbyes to his new friends! He was well loved and we will definitely call Morgan for another stay with her and her family.”


“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Brittany was great! Murphy had a great week with Brittany and her family. She always responded very promptly whenever I needed to reach out and she provided updates on how Murphy was getting along while we were gone. We definitely plan to use Brittany again in the future.”


“Very responsive and proactive with sending pictures/walking Stanley to give us peace of mind. Very thankful and appreciative of Joseph’s help. Our dog seemed very comfortable and happy with his care!”


“Absolutely satisfied with Mary R.!!! My beloved dog didn’t want to leave!!! I loved the daily updates and pictures!!! Leaving your pet with Mary R. Is like leaving your pet with a trusted family member!! I’ll definitely leave my dog with Mary R. every time we need to leave town!! Thank you Mary!!!”


“Kos was wonderful to Oreo, Pearl, and Odie! He checked in daily and sent tons of pics to reassure us that they were doing great and being well taken care of which I very much appreciated. We would love to use him again in the future for our fur babies!”


“Penny was great! Henry had a great stay. We received text and photo updates and Penny was super flexible with us with pickup and drop off times. Would definitely leave our baby with Penny again!”


“As far as I can tell, Frances did a good job She wasn't good with sending updates or photos. I didn't know when she arrived or left. So late that night, I was concerned something happe.ed and my animals were alone. I messaged and received a response the next morning. She was good at communicating on Daturday but I don't know if she left early, late or on time. The water bowl was empty anf most likely had been for a while because it had been k locked over, which is what one of my girls diesn when its empty to say she needs water. With the time I got in, it would not have been empty if Frances left when she was supposed to amd had checked the water bowl.”


“Melissa was great to work with! Communication was easy with quick responses and follow ups to any questions we had. She sent pictures / updates each day while we were away which put this anxious dog momma to ease. We appreciate her taking care of our pup while we were away!”


“Our sweet girl came back much happier after 9 days than she ever has with the kennel we used to board her with. Avonlea was wonderful to work with, communicated well, and was great about making sure medication was administered. Highly recommend and will be using again!”


“Taylor looked after my 6 month old puppy for an extended period with pretty short notice and did a great job. He was treated with love and care and Geralt is always excited to return to the house and loves playing with Taylor's dog Cooper. I've rebooked with him several times already and will continue to do so, highly recommend.”


“Sierra and Jack were great! Arlo seemed to have a great time based on all the pictures and videos that were sent during his stay with them. Arlo will definitely be staying with them again when I go on my next trip!”



“This is the third time we boarded our lovely Coco at Lauryn’s place. I am writing this review because Lauryn did a great job caring for Coco, a picky eater and attention seeker. We tried multiple places to board Coco in the last 6 years, but every time, Coco gets sick because they cannot feed Coco. We will use Lauryn’s service every time we need to board Coco.”


“Cassandra was amazing! She made sure to ask plenty of questions to make sure she understood my dogs habits, took him for a walk every day, and provided me with pictures and updates on how he is doing. Not only that, on one of the nights he was with her, one of her neighbors had started to set off fireworks, which terrifies my dog. Cassandra had played classical music, and comforted him for over and hour until the fireworks had stopped. I had felt like she had treated him as her own, which was exactly what I was hoping for, but more than I could have asked for.”


“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”


“Katherine is amazing!! She took care of my dog over the weekend and kept me updated with pictures and brief messages. I know Kida was in good hands and highly recommend her to anyone.”


“First time using this service and first time my 3 cats stay with a new human. I highly recommend Kasey, she made every step of the process easy. By the time I arrive to pick them up. She was waitinf outside with the kittens luggage 😅 and the cats already packed too😅 made it easy. The cats adjusted very easy so I know they were happy”
