“Anton and family took care of Benji as their own family member. I knew it was a good fit when Benji went right in the house when I dropped him off. This is Benji’s second home when I need daycare and boarding.”
“Jacky had a great time staying with De'Andra & Robert while I was on a work trip. De'Andra sent many pictures and kept me updated on how Jacky was doing. Jacky felt right at home and got along very well with their dogs Crosby and Spyder. Such a great experience, I highly recommend De'Andra and Robert!”
“Lovely Human Beings Jon and Dana took care of my pup while I vacationed for 4 Days. They took very good care of her and sent me pics of her stay which helped reassure me that she was fine and being loved on. I would definitely recommend them to other folks! I plan on rebooking when I get a chance to. Thanks Jon and Danna!”
“Steffany and Juan were wonderful! Super easy to set up dropoff and pickup as well as they were able to watch our pup Rooney on short notice! They sent us lots of photos of Rooney playing with their pups too! We will be using them again!”
“Rosa and her girls are wonderful. I left my two dogs with them for a long trip. I received pictures and videos every day. My dogs looked healthy and happy in all the messages. I could tell that they were well taken care. It helped me enjoy my vacation and not worry. I would recommend Rosa.”
“Kathy was AMAZING! Khai felt right at home and so comfortable with her. We got daily updates, we’re so happy we found her, we felt very at ease with Kathy’s care, she was very loving and caring for Khai. Will definitely book again with her 😁”
“Pam and Michael took such good care of Mojo. They sent pictures and videos and made a point to touch base with me letting me know how things were going. I could tell they really made a home away from home for our pup which put me at ease. Mojo was happy and healthy and for that I’m grateful. Thank you for your hospitality and care for Mojo!”
“Kevin and his family were awesome! They took great care of Pippa with long walks and lots of play. They even bought her a toy that she absolutely loves. This was the first time Pippa and I were apart for several days, and Kevin kept me up to date with texts and pictures. I was extremely pleased and would definitely book with them again!”
“Kayla was terrific watching our 2 dogs. We had a last minute trip and our normal boarders were not available. We had a great meet and greet and our dogs were at her house 2 days later for a long weekend. Her communication while we were away was amazing. The dogs received walks along with a nice backyard to stretch out in. I definitely will be booking her again!”
“They did an amazing job with Jax. Said that Jax got along great with there dogs. Great communication and was so understanding with my flight cancellations to come back home to get him. Definitely recommend!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my dog, Red, to CJ for dog sitting, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. CJ demonstrated a high level of professionalism and communicated promptly, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. CJ was incredibly flexible with the scheduling, accommodating my needs with ease and ensuring that Red was well taken care of during the times that worked best for me. One of the standout aspects of CJ's service was the convenient drop-off option provided, which saved me a significant amount of time and hassle. It was clear that CJ genuinely cared about Red's well-being, as they went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy throughout the stay. I highly recommend CJ to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. CJ's dedication and attention to detail are truly commendable, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Thank you, CJ, for taking such great care of Red and giving me peace of mind while I was away!”
“Bruce just spent the weekend with Vivian and I think he had even more fun than we did! Loved the photos and videos she sent to let us know how things were going. Will certainly book with her again.”
“Great service!!! Great personality! Sent pictures and videos. Lu Lu seemed happy and very well cared for when we picked her up. Would definitely recommend her and will book with her again.”
“Very responsive and fast communicator! Friendly, accommodated a meet & greet visit in advance, and willing to let me come in their home at drop off. Our dog came home happy and healthy! I had never used Rover before, and this was a very positive experience.”
“We live a good distance from family, and typically make the drive home before weekend adventures or getaways to make sure our eight year old Irish Wolfhound mix is in great hands while we’re away. After a move brought our home base closer to central PA, we were a little unsure about finding a dog sitter closer to us, but after meeting Allison and her sidekick, Sadie, I couldn't be more grateful! From our very first meet and greet, Allison put us - and our guy - at such ease and Obie loved having a playmate. You can tell almost immediately how much she genuinely cares for the dogs staying with her. Her space is very dog friendly, and as an added bonus, her "house rules" are the same as our house, which makes things so easy. She was so kind to send lots of pictures during our guy's stay. Seeing how happy he was in each picture made it clear we’ve found a gem in Allison. Thank you, Allison! Obie can't wait to see you and Sadie again soon.”
“Letisia was absolutely amazing with my bulldog!! My bulldog is older and requires very special care. I was given updates daily and she took very good care of Rocky. Will definitely book with again when going away!”

I think our two pups may have had a better vacation at Kayla's than we did in Italy! Kayla provided regular updates on how they were doing during their boarding and promptly answered any questions we had. When we need to board our pups again, we will check with Kayla for availability first. Thanks for taking care of our girls while we were away!!
Emily and her family took care of our dog Ava like she was a part of their family. I really appreciated the pictures and updates I received from Emily throughout the week. I was worried about leaving our Ava for a week, but Emily’s updates really put my mind at ease. I know Ava enjoyed herself during her stay and she had plenty of walks and outdoor time in their fenced in yard. I will definitely rebook with this lovely family again!
Madison was an absolutely amazing dog sitter for our pup, Willow! She cared for Willow for four days, and when we picked her up, she couldn’t stop smiling! It was clear that she had a wonderful time. Madison is kind, reliable, and so thoughtful—she kept us updated throughout Willow’s stay with sweet surprise photos that truly made our day. Seeing Willow having fun and playing with Nala was such a joy, especially knowing she doesn’t always get that kind of energy release at home. We also really appreciated Madison’s flexibility when our plans unexpectedly changed, delaying our pick-up time. She was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which made all the difference. Madison, thank you so much for taking such great care of Willow! If you’d have us, we’d love for you to watch her again in the future! 10 paws up 🐾 from Willow lol
Lauren puppy sat for me recently and my little guy seemed to have a great time. We ran into her on a doggy walk about a week later and he ran right to her even though he's pretty nervous around people. She watched him for an over night stay, meet and greet was good and pick up all went smooth. Great communication and pics were sent throughout the day.
