As always Jen and her family were amazing with Shiva! I was a bit worried about the storm over the weekend making Shiva's anxiety worse but Jen gave her the extra attention she needed to put her (and myself) at ease. We also needed to extend the stay since the storm shifted our plans and Jen was more than accommodating. I highly highly recommend her and her family to anyone looking for your dog to be treated like she's part of the family!

Lara and Cary were so great with our dog, Nola! It was our first time leaving her after an incident at a local kennel this summer so we were worried and anxious. They sent several photos and updates and put our minds at ease. She had a nice, relaxing stay and we will definitely use them again and again!!

Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!

We were worried about leaving our dog for 5 days with someone we didn't know and he hadn't stayed with before. That worry wasn't needed. Patty knew I was worried and was wonderful! We got pictures, videos, and comments about how the days were going twice a day. Patty loves and is knowledgeable about dogs and the wonderful care they get shows that. Our guy was obviously fond of Patty and we will definitely book with her again.

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.

I could not be more happy with my puppy”s stay with Cliff. He took my puppy at the last minute and after talking with him on the phone for a few minutes I had a good sense that he would be great. My puppy was taken multiple times a day to run in the dog park next to his apartment. Cliff had an organized, well thought out plan for how he cared for my puppy. He asks good questions and communicates very well, so I felt good leaving my puppy with him for a few days.

Kyra and her husband were INCREDIBLE for our dog, Oakley! We couldn’t ask for better people to watch Oakley and could really tell she was taken care of while we were gone, which meant we could fully enjoy our vacation. We got lots of pictures and great communication throughout her stay. We already have our next trip booked with Kyra and really, really appreciate how awesome she/her husband are! 10/10 stars, highest possible recommendation!! Thanks again!!!

Casandra watched our boys for a whole week, and she did a fantastic job! She sent us tons of updates with pictures & videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she cared for our two pups like they were her own, and she clearly gave them lots of love. They had a great time! I highly recommend Casandra, and we will definitely be using her in the future!

Our pup, Kevin, had a great weekend with Jessica. We had plenty of updates, and Kevin had tons of outside time doing his favorite thing — playing fetch. Jessica and her husband were so accommodating with our last minute plans and flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely have Kevin stay here again. I highly recommend for all dog parents, but especially if you have a mid-large size pup who loves the outdoors and has lots of energy.

Our greyhound had a great time during his stay. The dogs are active and entertained. Sam sent updates daily with pictures, video and his behavior which was great to know how he was doing. We'll be using Sam again for boarding our big dog. It's a home environment which our pup was more comfortable to be in.
