Amy is the absolute best. She's the only person we count on to take reliable care of our fur baby when we go out of town. It's also a vacation for our dog who loves socializing!

Susan and her husband did a great job with Annie! Lots of pictures and Annie was super happy. They also took a rather late notice booking which was a life saver

Terry was the best!! She understood that I was nervous about leaving my French bulldog puppy - it was the first time we'd ever been separated- and she took extra good care and gave him lots of love and kisses. She also kept in touch with me and provided me pictures of my little guy - even though I was only gone one (1) day?! She is knowledgeable, kind and has a great heart. She will treat your fur baby as if it is her own. Can't say enough good things about Terry!! Except, perhaps that she is my new go-to person when I need someone to take care of Richelieu while I'm outta town.

I think Susie had a good time with Pamela and Paul. We went out of town a couple of days and they took care of her. Susie is 14, moving a little slowly and hard of hearing. They had to carry her up and down steps to the backyard since Susie hurt her back a few years ago. We will use them again. We felt good about Susie staying with Pamela and Paul.

Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!

Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)

My dog LOVED staying with Michelle. He got to do all his favorite things - running around outside, lay in the sun, play with the kids, snuggle on the couch. He had so much fun and I can tell he was well taken care of. Michelle sent detailed updates and photos each day which was very reassuring. I will definitely board with her again!

Alexandra was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Gracie. She is so friendly, always responded extremely quickly to my messages, and made it really easy to coordinate a meet n greet, and drop off and pick up. I appreciated her flexibility. She treated Gracie like her own pup, and sent me a ton of pictures and updates. Gracie seemed very comfortable and happy.
