Jen is a true dog lover! She is so warm and thoughtful. Lucy had such a great time staying at her home and playing with the other dogs there. Jen sent me videos and pictures while I was traveling and it made me feel so happy and secure that my sweet pup was in excellent hands. Thank you Jen!

Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.

This was our first time leaving Pablo with anyone outside of our home. He was well taken care of and seemed to enjoy himself. Emily is great with him and very responsive. She gives great updates and sends lots of pictures, which is very much so appreciated! Already rebooked.

I can tell my dogs felt loved and comfortable at Brooke’s house. The house has a securely fenced-in yard. Brooke kept me updated and reassured me that my sensitive dog Jazzy was not feeling abandoned.

Kari was an awesome sitter for Brew! She accepted our request at the very last minute (much appreciated) and her family showed him a ton of love while he was there. She’s a great communicator and very caring. Brew came home so tired from all of their adventures. Thank you!

Barbra and her family were the BEST decision we ever made!! We just got a dog and had a trip we could not cancel (scheduled before we got a dog) and were nervous about what to do. Choosing Barbra made everything so perfect. She was so attentive caring and kind, treated our dog as if it was her own. In fact i think our dog and her dog are new BFFs now ?. We got updates, pics and videos while we were gone to take all the nervousness away…she’s the absolute best, with a fantastic yard for the dogs to play. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave!! It was like a vacation for him too lol. Highly recommend Barbra and will definitely use again!!!

Candice is an awesome person! She gave my fur buddy so much attention and care that I was concerned that he might have wanted to stay with her instead of coming home with us. She continuously sent us updates and photos. We could see he was enjoying his stay with her. Seeing how happy he looked made our vacation more enjoyable not having to worry about how he was doing. Thank you so very much Candice. Looking forward to our next trip and Kekoa’s next stay. Be sure to book early so she has room for your pet!!!

Tiffany cared for my Beagle while I was out of town and did such an amazing job! She has a lovely clean place with a fenced in back yard perfect for pets. On top of that she took him for walks on the beach, sent pictures and administered insulin. So very pleased to have found her, would highly recommend.

Our dog stayed with Jen for four days, and he was coddled and so well cared for! We got frequent updates and pictures, and know he had a great time. We would have no hesitation to have our boy stay again!
