Kelly was absolutely wonderful! I was really nervous about leaving my dog since he had been attacked the last time I boarded him in a kennel. Kelli was wonderful with Finn (&me!). I feel so much better knowing we can leave Finn where he’ll be cared for and be safe!

Becky and John were great! The first night my dog had gotten very sick and they took all the right steps to ensure my little guy was taken care of. It made the stress of our trip and being away from our dogs easier knowing they were in such caring hands.

Andrew was great with our fur babies. He sent pictures every day so we could see how they were doing. Our doggies were happy and we could tell that they had a good stay. We will definitely use Andrew and his daughters next time.

Our pet Toby has always had very good experience with them. He has stayed for a couple of hours to slowly staying an entire day and now happily stayed over night. They always send us pictures and keep us posted about our pet. They also let us know of the other pets that would be there at the time. I would definitely recommend Leslie and Jonathan!

Keri was extremely accommodating and professional during scheduling and throughout our fur baby’s stay. You can tell she knows her K9s and really loves them all. We had a rough start introducing our pup to hers, but Keri ensured our pup was comfortable and even noticed her needing extra privacy at times. She also gave us daily updates, pics and videos of her which put us at great ease!

Where do I even begin Charlotte had an amazing time at Alexandra’s home. She took such good care of her. She kept me updated daily with photos and updates on how Charlotte was doing. Charlotte also got along with her sweet dogs. She came back happy and tired which indicates to me she had a blast! Thanks Alexandra for everything! I will definitely be using her again!

Anita and Earlex are the sweetest people that absolutely care for the pets they watch! They offer plenty of playtime (even for my old, sometimes grumpy pug) and are extremely flexible with drop-off, pick up, and dietary/medical needs. Good communication and daily updates. I was extremely comfortable with them taking care of my dog and was completely at ease while away for the weekend. Would definitely book them again, if they would take Brady Quinn in again! :)

Johanny was so incredibly kind and flexible when I needed someone to take care of my pup VERY LAST MINUTE while I was already out of town. I had a family emergency and my friend couldn’t take care of him anymore so I rushed to find someone late at night and Johanny was quite literally the only one willing to take him in at such last minute. We are very appreciative and THANK HER a million times over. All was well upon our return.

Silvana & Diego treated our Nala so well!! Nala is our 9 year old dog and she is sometimes very anxious but she had a great time with them!! They sent me pictures and kept me up to date with everything. I loved that they're bilingual so they could speak the commands to my dog in Spanish ❤️ great advantage for me!! Definitely booking with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of her 😊

I’ve just collected my doggie from Janae. He is happy and well. From start to finish the whole process was smooth and easy. This was the first time I’ve had to leave Taz for more than a day or two and he was well cared for during his stay with Janae who I highly recommend.

Geneva and Edward took wonderful care of our girls! We have one that’s all energy all the time and one that is timid and scared of everyone. They were patient and caring with both of them. We are new to the area and were nervous about finding someone to leave our pups with, but this seemed to be the perfect fit. They have large spaces inside and out for them to run and play. Can’t recommend them enough! We’ll definitely be calling again soon!
