“This was the first time leaving my puppies as I needed to go on a trip. I was at ease with our introductions and by the time I boarded my plane I started to get photo updates. Communication was consistent the entire time I was away and I can tell the family treated my puppies like they were part of theirs.”



“My dogs love Tamara, she takes amazing care of them. I was recently gone for two weeks and during that time my senior dog needed a visit to the vet for medicine and Tamara had no issues taking him in and getting his medicine for him. Such great peace of mind when your dogs are in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks, Tamara!”


“This was the second time we used John and his wife Joanna and they were wonderful once again. Our pups can be nervous when they’re away from home but I could tell they recognized their home (and kids) and felt comfortable there, which made it easier to leave them. They communicate and send pictures/updates every day, and when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well they let us know right away and were willing to stay up at night with him to make sure he was okay. They even checked up on him after he was back home. Just lovely!”


“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”


“Satyam took great care of our 3 month old puppy. He sent pictures and updates throughout the visit and our puppy left very happy! We would recommend booking with Satyam.”


“Lydia is so sweet and wonderful with our doggies. She sent pictures and daily updates. Kona and Koby loved their stay here. Thank you Lydia for loving on our doggies while we were away.”


“Aimee was so amazing as a sitter. Our pup stayed with her for 10 days over the holidays and we couldn't have hoped for a better place for her to be. She sent photos and videos daily, was attentive, let us know everything that was going on. When our pup had an upset tummy she made her special food with approval. If I could give 100/10 I would. Our pup loved playing with their pup, we will absolutely be return visitors!”


“Great Boarder. I highly recommend them. My dog usually has separation anxiety and nervous around other dogs, but he was happy and got along well with the other dogs. They provided a lot of pictures and videos during his stay, so I could relax knowing that he was well taken care of. Definitely will rebook in the future.”


“Chaoran genuinely loves dogs and took great care of my dog. As a first-time pet owner, I appreciated helpful advice she shared when I asked. I really appreciate her great service.”


“I wish there were 10 stars. I feel lucky to have found William! Lainey was very happy when I picked her up! She acted like she had been on vacation bc she was soooo spoiled by William while he had her! He communicate with us daily and sent cute pictures and comforting words!”


“Wonderful interaction with Hommer and Hellen! We loved the day-to-day updates of our dogs boarding with them. Such peace of mind when we were away so we could enjoy our vacation! We will definitely be booking all our future stays with them!”


“Shivani and her family, including her dog was really sweet and caring with our dog, we loved that she was always keeping us updated about our dog activities thorough the day. She was also flexible with time since our flight got delayed. We will definitely book again for our next trip coming soon.”


“Repeat customer because very pleased with the last stay. This time it was a last minute request. Maria was available and flexible with my schedule. Will continue to use her!”


“Ashley and her family took great care of our cat MJ! The pictures Ashley sent of MJ having fun makes us smile and laugh. We have to ask ourselves, “is that our cat?” because MJ is so comfortable and out going with Ashley and her family. Ashley - thank you for the great care you give to MJ!”


“Martha was wonderful with Gelato. She gave him a lot of attention and care. He enjoyed their walk to the local 1971 coffee shop. Martha is a great sitter. I will definitely request her services in the future.”
