1. Kris G.

“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”


2. Lisa W.

“Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾”


3. Carol S.

“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”


4. Lenore K.

“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”


5. Leslie F.

“Barley had a nice stay with Leslie and has returned to me happy and well cared for. Leslie’s place is a good find: lots of fenced outdoor area and opportunity for dogs to socialize. I definitely plan to use her services again!”


6. Jordan R.

“I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Jordan to watch my fur babe while I was on a trip. It’s very clear how much she cares, and I could tell how safe & cozy my babe was through the daily picture updates I received. As someone who tends to get anxious trusting others to take care of my babe, I had absolutely no worries & couldn’t be more appreciative of how well Jordan did in not only tending to her very particular routine but also making sure she felt loved while I was away. I’ll absolutely book again in the future!”


7. Debra K.

“Debra is the best. Max is happy to go to her house and a happy pup when I pick him up. Max feels so much at home with Debra and River that he has started behaving like he is at home and chewing on things he should not. Debra was very gracious about Max's naughty behavior.”


8. Chelsea J.

“Chelsea was very helpful on short notice. She was able to accommodate a schedule change and took excellent care of our dog, Scout. We highly recommend booking with Chelsea.”


9. Rachel S.

“Rachel and her husband are amazing, compassionate people. They took amazing care of Peanut, giving him lots of love and cuddles and helping him run his little heart out in their huge yard. They have an amazing doggy paradise! I got lots of adorable updates and Peanut and Winter got along great :) would 100000% leave Peanut with them again!”


10. Michelle M.

“Amazing care as usual!!! I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Michelle. I know she will be well taken care of and have the best time! She always gets so excited when she gets dropped off for a visit.”


11. Susan H.

“Another perfect stay with Susan! She always takes great care of my boy, communicates well, and is lovely to work with. Well be back soon, I’m sure!”


12. Dolly L.

“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”


13. Melissa & Ryan W.

“Melissa and Ryan are very attentive and caring. Daisy enjoyed lots of fun play time and cuddles there! I would definitely use them again! They also dropped Daisy off at home. I so appreciated their care for her and all the pictures!”


14. Shawn W.

“Shawn is truly a dog lover. He gave my dog attention and time like it was his own pet. I was away for two weeks and he sent me so many photos of my little guy having fun and playing. My dog Siya became best pals with Shawn’s beagle it felt sad to separate them when I had to pick Siya up to take him home. Thank you to Shawn and his family for taking such good care of my Siya!”


15. Cher C.

“Cher was amazing with my dog. Very professional, had experience with her medication, took her on plenty of walks and gave her plenty of love. I know my dog felt right at home, as soon as we entered Cher’s place I was chopped liver! I would definitely book with Cher again.”


16. Autumn J.


“Autumn went above and beyond to make our first experince away from our little guy as pleasant and easy as possible. She provided us pictures the whole time she was watching him and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended!”


17. Ashley K.


“Colin enjoyed another week with Ashley. It was an easy decision given our past experience of having Ashley look after him - a senior dog - multiple times. We once again got nightly check-in updates, lots of pictures, and Colin even came home with a special toy for his birthday! He is clearly well cared for and gets lots of attention when he stays with Ashley. We highly recommend her!”


18. Brianna R.

“Brianna was so wonderful with our two dogs! We were out of state for over a week and could not take our girls with us so we chose to board with Brianna based on her stellar reviews. She exceeded our expectations! One of our girls is very energetic and a previous boarder had some trouble with her so I was nervous to take her somewhere else, but I could not be happier with how Brianna treated her! She kept us updated regularly on their behavior, how they were getting along with the other dogs and humans, and we could tell our girls were loved and nurtured during their time boarding. Thank you so much to Brianna and her family for providing a comfortable vacation for our babies!”


19. Gabriella M.

“We just used Gabriella for the first time and were beyond impressed. Our dog had a amazing time, she sent updates for peace of mind. Very responsive to communication. Would use her again next time we need to go away with peace of mind.”


20. Brittany W.


“Brittany was so great to deal with, I'm so happy to have found her. Molly was comfortable with her and her dogs right away and I can tell she enjoyed her stay. Brittany sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I would for sure recommend Brittany, great experience!”
