1. Alice b.
“Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.”
2. Cory W.
“Oh my gosh!! This was Freyja’s first time ever boarding and she literally found her home away from home. Cory and his spouse were amazing and loved Freyja as their own. I will always have Cory watch my fur babies and so should you!!”
3. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.”
4. Lisa S.
“Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.”
5. Cassidy W.
“Izzy had a great time and for right in. I got picture and video updates. Would definitely trust Cassidy with my fur baby again!!”
6. Madison P.
“Ollie adored Madison! This was our first booking with Madison and we couldn't be happier. She took excellent care of our pup and sent a ton of adorable pictures!”
7. Mackenzie W.
“Super nice, great communication! Received pictures&/or videos every day. Coco really seemed to enjoy herself and came back happy and freshly bathed! Thank you!”
8. Jaden B.
“Jaden did an amazing job with Jax! Jaden was very attentive and accommodating, he treated him as if his own. I also appreciated the regular communication and updates with pics/vids! Jax had some jitters at first (he can be an anxious little guy), but Jaden’s patience, high engagement, and care soon brought Jax around to being the happy pup that he is. Jax truly enjoyed his stay with Jaden and I know the little guy would be excited to stay with him again!”
9. Robbie H.
“This family took such well care of our boys while away! The updates and photos were so great! There was an incident that occurred and we were given all the details, updates, and even offered support from them! Will definitely choose them again!”
10. Evan H.
“We were really happy with the care Evan took with Red and keeping us updated throughout the week. He knows what hes doing and you can see the care he has. Definitely boarding with him next time!”
11. Madison T.
“Madison did a great job with Starc, my Great Dane. He was a rescue and can have a lot "quirks" to work through, but she handled him well and he was happy when I picked him up! She gave me daily updates, including photos and videos, and even reached out as a storm was rolling through to ask if he would be anxious or need anything special. She was very thoughtful, and a good sitter who's comfortable with large breed dogs!”
12. Samantha P.
“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”
13. Jessica V.
“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.”
14. Sarah W.
“I used Sarah because I wanted to take my dog with me on a road trip… she was super flexible on drop off and pick up. My dog loved playing with her pups in her fantastic back yard. Next time I am in DM I will definitely try to use her again!”
15. Scott S.
“We are so thankful we found Scott! Our golden retriever loves spending time here when we're away! He gets a lot of playtime and love! We really appreciate the daily communication and pictures sent to update us!”
16. Amber J.
“Amber made us feel very comfortable with leaving our dog. She sent us videos and pictures daily with updates to let us know he was doing well. It was evident. If needed, we will definitely book with her again in the future.”
17. Christy & Erkam N.
“I had to travel halfway across the world for over two weeks without my anxious little Emma. Christy and Erkam did such a great job dealing with Emma - keeping her calm, going out for walks, and giving her medicine. They gave me frequent updates and immediately reached out whenever they have questions and concerns. Really appreciate the love and attention they showered Emma with. Highly recommend Christy and Erkam!”
18. Julie R.
“Julie was great! She took Rio boarded Rio on short notice. She also did great communicating how he was doing! I would definitely recommend Julie and use her again in the future.”
