1. Natalia B.
“Natalia did a great job at watching my dogs! My one dog was very scared and by the next day they were hanging out on the couch. I think my dogs are mad I picked them back up.”
2. Kathy K.
“Kathy was everything we could have hoped for in a dog-sitter - attentive, experienced, patient, reliable. Our pooch has physical disabilities which require additional time and effort. Kathy rose to the occasion with both professional and gentle acumen. Her work as a nurse certainly added to her skills. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur baby with her and to whole-heartedly recommend her to all.”
3. Susan M.
“Susan is delightful and took care of our senior dog while on vacation. She was safe and well loved. We will definitely use her services again. Beautiful home!!”
4. Tara & Peter O.
“Once again, Tara and Peter were super helpful accommodating Duke despite two other furry guests already scheduled for boarding. We received daily photos and couple of video updates. Duke loves the place since it is a fenced backyard where he leisurely strolls and plays. The host dog, Willow, is also very welcoming. This was our third time and we will definitely be back soon.”
5. Patricia & Paul S.
“They are really nice, caring people and have the perfect setting to board. My Andrew was very well cared for and loved while I was gone. Would definitely use them again.”
6. Wendy N.
“Wendy was great. She watched our dog, Margo, while we in the process of moving. During what was a busy, stressful time for us, Wendy provided a calm and caring home for our pet. She was flexible with our drop off and pick up times and kept us informed of how Margo was doing via daily texts. Very happy! In fact, we have already booked another stay with Wendy!”
7. Sofiia M.
“My dog, Stash, and I met with Sofiia and her husband before his first overnight with them. They were very welcoming and sweet with Stash. On the night of his first stay, Sofiia sent me several updates with photos so I knew Stash was comfortable and well taken care of. Stash has a bit of separation anxiety when we first leave him, so I really appreciated Sofiia’s patience with him - following her around all day, and also with the several times he got up throughout the night. I know he was loved with them while we were away.”
8. Austin W.
“Best sitter ever! Austin took my doberman Riley in when I was scrambling to find someone last minute. He sent me pictures and updated me multiple times a day. He treated Riley like his own. I’ve tried a few different sitters and he is the best by far. Could not recommend him more!”
9. Colleen W.
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”
10. Susan P.
“Susan was an awesome sitter for my dog. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a couple of days. She kept us updated throughout the day with pics and conversation. We’re so happy to have found her.”
11. Kaitlynn M.
“Absolutely outstanding with our pup, sent us pictures of Zoey during her stay and was super attentive and thorough to our pets needs. Will book with Kaitlynn again! Thank you!”
12. Mike T.
“Mike was a wonderful host! Reece had a grand time with Mike's son. When Reece saw us he looked at us like why are you back so early! Great care! Thank you🐶”
13. Flora M.
“Flora is THE BEST!!! We had to be away for a night and Flora not only agreed to watch Lily last minute but Lily had the best time. Flora spoiled Lily with several walks, play time, cuddles and more! We loved the sweet pictures she would send with updates & even the sweet journaling she did to capture every moment. We will absolutely be coming back to Flora in the future!! Thank you so much again!”
14. Karma S.
“From the meet/greet to pickup of my pups first stay, everything was exceptional. Karma provides a safe, clean and comfortable environment for guests and plenty of follow up w/ photos. I would definitely recommend… she delivers!”
15. Monique L.
“Monique sent us many updates and pictures. We really appreciated this because it helped us to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dogs were doing well and receiving great care. Communication was great even before we dropped off our dogs. She confirmed the drop off and asked about any special instructions. She was flexible and easy to work with. We will definitely be using Monique again!”
16. Stacie & Doug R.
“Stacie and Doug took great care of Natty. They sent us a few pics and updates, and I could tell she felt right at home with their family and dog, Jane! We will definitely be booking again.”
17. Taylor R.
“Taylor took such great care of my little Lola. Her home is so dog friendly, and she has a nice big fenced in back yard for the dogs to run around. I am so happy I found someone I can trust when I travel and can't take Lola with me.”
18. Irina K.
“Irina and her daughter take fantastic care of my two dogs. It's obvious that they are animal lovers and really enjoy it. Me and my dogs appreciate that!”
19. Marilyn H.
“Marilyn took great care of my Jack Russell - Cooper. He was in good spirits when I dropped him off and was the same when I picked him up. She took pictures to show me how he settled in and got comfortable and I appreciate that. We will have her look after him again. Thanks!”
20. Daniel & Rachel M.
“These guys were great! Received a few photos every day so I could relax knowing he was in good hands. When I picked him up, he went back into their house and back to them which told me he was super comfortable there and really enjoyed his stay! Thank you so much for the wonderful treats and care that you gave to our little Ollie!”
