“My little one is just 2 mos old. I was so happy to find Selena. Not only was she extremely loving to my Romeo but was also accommodating with adjustments needed to my booking. MOST OF ALL - Romeo loved her, I could tell he was in good care and in a safe environment. Thank you Selina.”

“Sarah was a life saver. I was visiting from Atlanta for a funeral. I never leave my dogs alone. Sarah arrived to pick Louie and Marie on time and dropped them off on time. She sent pictures and gave me updates. Very good experience.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Rachel! They took amazing care of our Miniature Dachshund, Ollie, while we were in town for the Supercross race. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Ollie was happy, well-cared for, and I received regular updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. Finding someone you can trust with your pet is priceless, and I’m so grateful to have found Rachel. Wished we lived closer so I could continue to use her services. She has the sweetest little family too. We Highly recommend!!!”

“Wonderful interaction with Aimee. She was incredibly nice and easy to communicate with. Our pup had a great time hanging with her. She sent us pics and updates. We'll definitely use Aimee's services again!”


“Thanks so much, Paul! What a life saver! I am extremely protective about my baby. Nevertheless, Paul gave me peace of mind. Thank you for the updates and pictures throughout the day. I know that Jade had a good time. I definitely recommend his services.”

“Richard was absolutely the best! He helped me with a very short notice. Super friendly and professional, Gara loved him since she saw him. He sent me videos and photos when I asked for her and even without asking. I will definitely book again in the future.”

“Max had an awesome time at doggy day care with Daniel and Angela while I was working out of state! 🐾 Their home is so warm and welcoming—it’s the perfect pup retreat. They treated Max like one of their own and sent us thoughtful updates throughout the day (which totally made my day!). Max was all smiles when we picked him up and seemed pretty proud of himself for making new buddies—Barley and Greta, their two sweet terriers. They even let us know how much he ate, which this dog mom really appreciated. 10/10 would book again—Max gives them two paws up! 🐶💛”
