“Home away from home. Our puggle Abby and pug Bowie loved their stay with Michael. They loved playing with the other dogs and Michael's kids loved our puppy Bowie, At the end of our trip we had flight delays and Michael was very accommodating. During their stay he sent many pictures of the pups having a good time. We couldn't be happier with their stay with Nichael and recommend him to all.”
“Nicole is wonderful. Sent us pictures and updates on our boy everyday. I love the fact that she fosters cats and dogs (which means she’s able to deal with many different doggy personalities) she has a great fenced in backyard which I love. I would definitely leave our boy with Nicole again!”
“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”
“Beautiful fenced in yard and other dogs to play with. Our dog was very well cared for and very tired (he's under two and has tons of puppy energy) when we brought him home from his week long stay. Highly recommend.”
“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”
“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”
“Maryjane is wonderful! She sent pictures and updates everyday and our little pooch was very well taken care of. Our young children came along during our meet and greet and they were very comfortable in Maryjane's home as well. She's very calm and welcoming... A great caretaker for any pooch. :)”
“Colette was great with our two dogs, she has a lovely backyard where they got plenty of exercise and made themselves at home in her living room lounging on the couch and playing with their toys! I’d definitely recommend her for your pups care!”
“Jake found his home away from home. Lauren was attentive and communicated consistently throughout Jake's stay. The daily photos and updates were appreciated so we could keep tabs on our furry pet. Jake settled well back home after his stay. Thank you for caring so well for our dog 🐕”
“Forough and Amir were awesome! Baloo got a playmate in Ruby and he lioked so happy. We got daily updates and that helped know he is doing fine. We will definitely work with Forough and Amir again! Definitely recommend!”
“Maryah was awesome. Even when our plans changed because of hurricane Lee she was accommodating. Great country location for the dogs. I would highly recommend her and have no reservations using her again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Dyane. As many other reviewers have said, she is a wonderful person - very kind, reliable, a great communicator - and takes her role as a caretaker for your pet very seriously. She watched my senior dog who has some health issues this month, and took such good care of her. My dog was clearly very comfortable and happy being with Dyane and at her house. Dyane took really good care of her, including her special needs (meds, going out often, special diet). I really appreciated that she genuinely seemed to care about my dog and enjoyed her (and her funny personality) - it didn't feel like this was just a job for her. Dyane went above and beyond to make it a great stay for my dog and to make sure that I never had to worry about a thing while I was away - she made sure she had all of the necessary health/vet information before we left and she sent updates at least a couple times a day while we were away. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could:).”
“Ali and his family, including their dog, were great! Ali set up a meet and greet for our dogs to get to know each other, which was much appreciated. He asked good questions, was accommodating, and sent photos and a video of my dog in his home. Very happy!”
“Staying at Melanie's was wonderful. Lots of dog friends, lots of love and lots of communication! My baby girl came home happy! I would completely leave my pup with Melanie and her family again!! Thank you for taking such great care of her for us!!”
“Karyn was absolutely terrific. My puppy was extremely comfortable with her. Karyn treated him as if he was hers. Sent many pictures and kept me informed about Fitzy several times a day. She has a great fenced in yard which gave my dog freedom to run. Fitzy and her dog got along well. Would highly recommend her. Can’t say enough of good things about this experience.”
