“Tobi is amazing! She always takes such wonderful care of our sweet Emme girl! If you want someone who loves fur babies and will take great care of them, you’ve found her! Thank you, Tobi! 🐶❤️”


“The Frances experience is outstanding! Starting with her epic 2 acre fenced yard that has lots of toys, the awesome ambassadors of the estate, her dogs Maggie & Cooper, her dog friendly & spacious house... all tied together by a woman who knows dogs & knows how to have fun and show my Border Collie Tux a great and welcoming time. As much as I & my family liked her, Tux liked her even more. Frances is our fifth 5 star dog boarding professional and she is by far Tux's favorite. He had a terrific weekend with her!”


“Heather took such good care of our dog! It is clear she is an animal lover who offers a warm and welcoming home. She sent pictures and kept us updated but also let us enjoy our vacation. She always gave timely responses when we reached out. She is a must hire!”


“She did very good at helping us feel comfortable leaving our Doggo for the first time. Got pictures of her day and she responded to the messages so quick. Was very patient and flexible with us too. 100% will book again”


“Kristin did an outstanding job taking care of our puppy. She has great communication skills and provided many updates of how our puppy was doing throughout his stay. We will definitely book again!”


“We have an energetic husky girl. It difficult to trust anyone to watch her. Bailey and Kyle were great! Frequent updates were appreciated. Roslyn came home so tired and happy! We will use them in the future and recommend them to others! Thanks again!”


“Francine did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. My pup was happy, well cared for, and I had total peace of mind. Highly recommend her.”


“Dennis and Lynn took great care of our dog Rocky! We were very happy with the way they took care of him, and we received multiple updates on how he was doing throughout the days. We would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you!”


“Brent was so easy to work with - he communicated well and provided updates about Spencer. His location is very easy to get to from I-5 and he has a great yard for playtime. We appreciate him and his family taking such good care of our dog! We definitely will book with Brent again in the future. 😀”


“Roxana and Nathan did an amazing job taking care of my dog Chase over the weekend! They sent me updates on how he was doing and gave him his medication both days. When I picked Chase up, I could tell he was loved and taken care of extremely well during his stay. I highly recommend Roxana and Nathan for anybody in need of an exceptional dog sitter!”


“Danielle took great care of both dogs and provided updates/pictures throughout the stay. Danielle also was able to accommodate an early drop off time. Highly recommended.”

“Amy and her family are great! Our puppy Marco immediately felt at home in their space and with their dog Winnie. Amy provided tons of pictures and updates throughout Marco’s stay. Thanks Amy!”


“Sarah was amazing with our Pup! It’s clear that she loves dogs and they love her back. Our pup is normally pretty anxious in unfamiliar environments, but after spending a few days with Sarah, she was perfectly happy upon our return. Pupper even insisted on saying goodbye before we left :) It was so nice knowing she was being well-cared for while we were away!”


“Kana is the best sitter ever. So relieved to find someone who truly takes great care of my Stella. Stella really missed her backyard and the other dogs. Very safe place for doggies and I will definitely use Kana again. Highly recommend them. Thanks so much!!!”



“Libby loved staying with Tracy and Mike and has been tuckered out from playing all day! We are excited to have found a couple nearby that will love our baby like theirs when we can’t be there!”
