“Naimisha was an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of Smores and kept us updated with frequent pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. Smores looked happy, comfortable, and well-loved the whole time. Her kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. We highly recommend Naimisha and will definitely book again!”



“I was terrified to travel and leave the dog behind…until I met Michele. She took such good care of my dog, Noelle, in her home. Instead of being stuck in a small room for hours a day, Noelle had free reign of the downstairs, had friends to play with and snuggle up with at night. I received a text and pictures every day. I picked up a dog at the end of our trip who was happy, glad to see us but maybe just a little sad to leave her new friends. I will definitely be booming with Michele again.”


“We had the pleasure of having Jillian as our dog sitter for nearly two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She provided outstanding care for our beloved Max, who seemed to have the time of his life under her watch. Jillian kept us updated with photos and videos of Max all along. Jillian's dedication to Max's well-being was evident from the start. She was attentive to his needs, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved. Her daily updates were a comforting touch that kept us connected to Max while we were away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in her work. We returned to a happy, healthy pup who had clearly formed a strong bond with Jillian. It's not just about watching over a pet; it's about creating a nurturing environment, and Jillian does this flawlessly. We highly recommend Jillian to any pet owner who wants peace of mind when they can't be with their furry family member. She's truly a gem, and Max is already looking forward to his next stay with her!”


“I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Rene prior to leaving my dog in her care for boarding. She made me feel at ease by providing updates and photos throughout my dog’s stay. Not only did my dog enjoy playtime in her yard, but Ms. Rene also took the time to walk her regularly. She was incredibly accommodating, and my boxer absolutely loved her. I am more than happy to entrust her with Luna again in the future. Thank you, Ms. Rene, for taking such wonderful care of Luna!”


“Shilpi was amazing!! I have never felt as comfortable leaving my fur baby when going away. Shilpi made the process so easy and gave us steps to make sure we remembered everything. While we were gone she sent many updates and pictures and I could tell my dog was safe and happy. They did a phenomenal job making sure she was eating well and enjoying her stay. When we picked her up too, she seemed so well kept and her fur was so soft and clean which hasn't always been the case when we have left her at other places. I will absolutely be leaving my dog with them again and I know I will feel 100% safe and happy doing so! Thank you to them for taking care of my fur baby ♥️”

“Shital and Ketan were fantastic! My bernedoodle instantly bonded with them and their sweet dog, Renee! They sent pics and videos all weekend and so relieved my mind of worry about how she was doing, so I could enjoy my family time away! Thanks again and we’ll be back, this week!”


“I recently had the pleasure of utilizing Debbie and Robert’s dog boarding services. They took great care of our furry friend Stitch and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Debbie and Robert are truly an exceptional dog lovers and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring caregiver for their pets. From the moment I met Debbie and Robert, I could tell that they have a genuine love for animals. Their warm and friendly demeanor instantly put both me and my dog at ease. It was clear that they truly cared about Stitch's well-being and took the time to understand her needs and preferences. Throughout the dog boarding period, they went above and beyond to ensure that Stitch received the best care possible. I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which reassured me that Stitch was happy and comfortable. Not only did they provide excellent basic care for Stitch, but they also engaged her in various activities to keep her entertained and stimulated. Whether it was going for walks, playing fetch, or giving her plenty of cuddles, Debbie and Robert made sure that Stitch received the attention and affection she needed. What truly sets Debbie and Robert apart is their professionalism and maintaining excellent communication throughout the entire process. I felt confident leaving Stitch in their care, knowing that they were professional and responsible and dedicated to providing the best possible service. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie and Robert for pet boarding. They are passionate, reliable, and compassionate towards animals. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family and provide top-notch care, they are the perfect choice. Thank you for taking such great care of Stitch! We will definitely be reaching out to you for future pet boarding needs. Annamaria”


“This is our second booking with Angie and she is amazing. Her and her family are great with babygirl and I would continue to book with her. 10/10 recommend.”


“I live an hour away but will ALWAYS drive the distance over any local boarding/boarders because Aileen is so worth it! Her two personal dogs are crate trained and so well behaved; they are great role models for my puppy to learn from. Not a lot of sitters in my area accept young puppies or unfixed dogs either. Which I understand, but it just goes to show that Aileen's biggest motivator as a sitter is her passion for pets and not because it's a quick buck or passive income. 'Boarding' cannot even compare to Aileen's dog sitting. When your pup stays with her they become a part of her family and she treats them like her own.”


“My pup was so well cared for and happy at Eric’s! She came home well-loved and tuckered out. Eric was very professional. I appreciate that all dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick meds. He also explained everything about his farm very clearly and answered all of my questions. I also love that he sent pics and updates throughout my pup’s stay. We will definitely be returning to Eric’s farm. ??❤️”


“Tatiana was wonderful. I came home to happy pups and well taken care of . One of my Fur babies has to take meds for a heart condition and she did a great job . Thank you”


“Jennifer and her family were wonderful to my pup (to the point that she didn't really want to leave). As a boarder, Jennifer sent me a daily update with photos and kept me abreast of anything happening with my "doghter".”


“Yami is wonderful and our dog Bailey loves her. My puppy was sad when she came back cause she missed them soo much! I will definitely use them again and will also recommend to my friends.”


“When we dropped our dog off with Nancy, we could tell that he was going to be in good hands. Nancy was great at communicating with us, both by text, and in person. We felt comfortable knowing that even though we couldn’t be with him over the holiday, that he would have her by his side.”



“Almasa was fantastic. She not only cared for my rescue puppy blue heeler, but also provided feedback and tips for managing and socializing him well. I plan to return to Almasa for future boarding!”


“If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. We have been using Ryan for a couple of years with complete satisfaction. Our dog loves going to his house, and we are confident that he is getting the best care. Highly recommend.”


“We just love Ms. Pat, and so does our little one! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Ms. Pat because she treats him like he’s a member of her family (just like we do). Thanks again Ms. Pat!!”



“Carol is such a lovely lady. My dog had the best time with her. We love that it's only Ike (her handsome dog) plus ours, and how she made Freddie feel so at home. We will definitely use her service again and recommend her highly to others ”
