“Alexsys and her family took great care of my Joey when I got a last minute invitation to take a trip. I appreciate that she was available at the last minute when my usual boarding facility was completely booked. She sent me texts everyday and also sent pictures. If I had any questions, she got right back to me. I really appreciated all of that. Thank you, Alexsys!”


“Snow was well taken care of and got a lot of love during his overnight stay. I also got a bunch of pictures to keep me updated with what he was up to. He’s a puppy so proper care was given to him accordingly. I will definitely use Jaclyn’s services regularly when I need help with snow.”

“Gabby took great care of my Bonnie girl while we were away on vacation. She asked good questions during our meet and greet. I am so glad that she was willing to have Bonnie as the only dog in the house for the majority of the 2 weeks we were away. Bonnie doesn't get along with many other dogs, so when her stay overlapped with another dog that was there for a couple days before her, Gabby immediately let us know and was prepared to keep them separated. Gabby gave us frequent updates and pictures that helped reassure us that she was doing well. All of the instructions I left for her feeding were followed exactly as well. I am so grateful that we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Bonnie was being taken care of as if I were there myself.”

She is very caring and we will definitely be back to her and hire her for dog sitting again when we need to go on another trip where we can not take our dog with us. Great job, really thankful for everything she did. 5/5 definitely! Thank you really so much from bottom of our hearts, Yzabella! See you again soon!”
