Our dog was treated like she was part of their family. We received lots updates and pics of how she was doing. Lots of walks and love. When we picked her up to go home, our dog was happy and relaxed, not stressed out and exhausted; it was obvious she was well cared for.

Cynthia and her family were amazing with Ollie! They have a lovely home with a great backyard for him to explore. Cynthia kept us updated throughout the day with thoughtful notes and photos, which I really appreciated. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a new sitter, and that first experience can be a little nerve racking. We could tell how happy Ollie was in her care and how much he enjoyed being around her wonderful family.

Hannah communicated promptly from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring. She is genuinely kind and clearly a true dog lover. She kept me updated with videos and pictures, which gave me peace of mind the whole time. When my dog was missing us and feeling a bit anxious, she lay down with him on the sofa to help calm him. She even took him on a morning walk without being asked, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with her care and would definitely recommend her anytime.

Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.

My girl had a great experience. We had a great meet and greet and communication leading up to the stay was excellent. I was very nervous leaving Aly partly because she’s a year old and “mostly a good puppy” and I didn’t want her to be a problem. Also have never left any of my dogs with someone I didn’t know. Mikaelan was wonderful about responding to all of my “How is she?” texts with updates and photos which gave me so much peace of mind. By day 2 I was able to relax and I still received daily reports about Aly’s adventures with her temporary humans and new BFFs. Aly came home happy and tired. I really appreciated the care and communication

Kristyna took such good care of Winkie. I was out of the country while she had a few vet appointments scheduled. Kristyna took her to her appointments, administered her medicine and kept her safe and comfortable during her stay. She kept me updated morning and night with pictures, I didn’t even have to ask. I will definitely be booking her again!

Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Abby while we were away. Abby came home happy, well cared for, and even clean, it seemed like Lisa even gave her a bath while she had her! She was incredibly accommodating, especially when our flight was unexpectedly canceled due to weather. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Abby was in good hands. Highly recommend Lisa!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and small animals since I was a child. Cats are my favorite! I’m comfortable caring for multiple animals from a single household. Got a dog and a cat? Or 2 cats? I would love to watch them! I work from home and have time to spend with your babies while you’re gone! I also have a small dog and a cat (both male & neutered) who are well socialized, trained, and calm personalities. If your baby wants to play, they’ll have a buddy! If not, they’ll have a quiet room to rest. If you board a dog with me, I’ll walk them and exercise them daily with my dog Rocky (he loves having friends visit!). I have a guest room set up to host pets so they have a quiet space to rest. If you board with me, your pet will be welcome in the common area, but if they want their space, they’ll have it! I also have a fenced in yard and access to a local dog park. I want your babies to feel safe and happy while they’re here.

Marjorie is truly the best and her family is so lovely! They really do treat Lucha like their own (and their kid seems to think it's the family dog at this point!) and I always know when Lucha stays with them that she is well taken care of

Chris was great from the start. He's very responsive and he is punctual. We appreciated Chris' willingness to meet Archie prior to a long, holiday boarding with him. Archie immediately liked Chris' calm nature and started exploring his space. While Chris was watching Archie, he was quick to let us know how he was doing anytime we asked. Archie even got to share some time with Chris' extended family and got lots of attention from the kids. When we picked up Archie, he was very excited and wanted all of us to back inside his house so we could all hang out. Thank you for taking such good care of Archie!

Scarlett had a great time with Rhonda and her dogs! Her home and yard were lovely and immaculate! It was like Scarlett had a vacation while we had a vacation! Rhonda took the time to learn Scarlett's likes, and Scarlett quickly felt at home with her. I'm very grateful for Rhonda, and I'm already planning our next vacation without worry that I will have the perfect person to care for my littlest family member.

Cynthia and her family are THE BEST!!! We are from out of town and had a hiccup just days before the start of our Virginia Beach vacation when our local sitter became unavailable to watch our two pups. I was in a bit of a panic, with only a few days left to secure arrangements. I was so fortunate to find and connect with Cynthia! Because we live several hours away, we could not do a prior meet-and-greet, which initially made me a bit nervous. However, we were able to chat on the phone before confirming the reservation, and any worries I had quickly disappeared as Cynthia had a lot of knowledge and experience with dog care, routines, and special quirks. At drop-off, we met Cynthia's husband, who was also very welcoming. He reassured us that our pups would be in good hands. As I write this review, I can confidently say that they absolutely were in the best of hands! From the photos and updates we received, we could see our pups were happy, relaxed, and quickly bonding with the family. Thank you, Cynthia and family, for accepting a last-minute reservation, taking in our pups sight unseen, and giving them such a loving and safe home away from home!!!
