1. Francis E.

“Absolutely perfect at every turn. Francis was great with our Goldendoodle. She sent pictures and looked after her with great care. We can’t recommend her enough. The home was perfect for dogs with a fenced in backyard and comfortable places for her to sit/sleep/relax.”


2. Brittany W.

“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”

4. Suzanne B.


“Our 2 dogs were with Suzanne and her family for two days. she was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. I appreciated the daily updates she sent and felt assured our pups were well cared for. I liked that they could be outdoors in the fenced in yard or inside lounging around depending on what they each wanted to do. Thank you Suzanne.”


5. Coy G.

“Great experience with Coy. Greeting me & my pup out front before and after. Quick response on updates when asked. Happy my little pup got to stretch his legs and tip and run with the big dogs! Thx Coy!”

7. Kristin T.

“This was the first time we used Kristin to board our dog Max for a weekend. We were so pleased at how she and her family welcomed Max and his for bid she was with our schedule. We greatly appreciated the updates and a video. He was very happy there and came home happy and healthy. We will definitely use Kristin again for boarding Max.”


8. Erica & Thomas C.

“OMG. Erica and Tom are the best family for taking great care of our fur baby Beanie. Their home is a beautiful setting in a bucolic area of East Lyme CT. I’m so happy to have them when we visit here from NC. As a native to this area, we come here every summer so having them nearby is a huge relief for us if we need a getaway without the furry one. We had a family gathering in Savannah recently and we had her booked for six nights with them and we were worry free! They are the best.”




9. Jessica D.


“Our mini goldendoodle, Eloise, had another lovely time with Jessica and her family recently. We received numerous status updates and photos as Eloise played her heart out during her stay and she came home sleepy and satisfied. We will be using Jessica again!”


10. Amanda L.
“Our dog and cat were well loved and cared for while we were away! We loved that Amanda stayed in touch and send us daily pictures of both of our girls. We will be reaching out when we plan our next vacation!”


11. Emily G.

“Emily was great, kept us updated, would def use her again”


12. Nala P.

“Nala and Del did great with Quincy and Zali for two nights and they sent us photos of their activities. Good experience and will use again. Thanks.”


13. Shannon C.

“We went on a 16 day trip out of the country and we knew Marley was in safe and caring hands. We got regular videos which reassured us he was happy and having a great time with the other dogs. The best review was when we were eating at an outdoor restaurant patio and suddenly he started to wag his tail like crazy! I was trying to think of who would cause that type of reaction, and it was Shannon and her husband! We will definitely be going back to Shannon.”


14. Stephen S.


“I almost don't want to leave a 5 star review because I don't want to share these folks with anyone. You can't get a much better safer or loving environment for your fur baby. Each day we received communication and so always felt comfortable being away from our boy. Thanks Steve and Kathy for another wonderful stay.”


15. Susan & Eric Z.

“Bubbles had a blast at Sue and Eric's home! Plenty of space for my pup to run around and play with their pups! He is high energy so he loved this. Thanks so much for caring for my doggie like he was your own! Photos and videos were appreciated and made us feel at ease while we were gone!”




16. Ricky R.

“Husky approved! Our 4 year old, Skye, was happy and content having had plenty of exercise time while we were away. We recommend Ricky and will be calling again ourselves. Great yard space, easy communication.”


17. Gillian M.

“Highly recommend Gillian! She took great care of my pup Novi over the weekend. I received great photos of novi while I was away. Novi seemed to have a great time and she loved the huge backyard! Thank you so much! Will definitely be our go to dog sitter! :) ?”


18. Starla H.

“Artemis was very happy in photo updates wa received and was happy at our return as well as seemed sad to be leaving as we drove away. Starla was very kind and informative and will definitely use her again with our puppy needs”


19. Ilona Arabelle V.

“Arabelle was absolutely incredible! My pup Pretzel had the best time ever! He was treated like family and got so much love from Arabelle! She took Pretzel on so many great walks and got lots of snuggles and playtime! Arabelle was also very responsive and sent many cute videos, picture, and updates throughout Pretzel’s stay. She was beyond amazing that I was afraid Pretzel wouldn’t want to leave!! We (especially Pretzel) can’t wait to use Arabelle again when we need a sitter for Pretzel! ❤️”


20. Elizabeth A.

“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hazel and sent a lot of pictures and updates. She also took her on nice walks and Hazel had plenty of outside time. She administered Hazel's medication each day as well. Overall, Elizabeth did a great job with my dog.”
