We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

I just want to say how flexible Merrick family was with my schedule. This is my first time using any services for Harper. We had the meet and greet that went great. Then we booked the boarding with them. I was sent pictures and updates on Harper and I will definitely use them again!! Also they have a fenced in backyard!!! That’s a plus

Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.

Diana and Scott were the perfect match for Kimi - who absolutely had a blast for the two weeks we were away. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for, like Kimi was their own. Everyday updates, videos and photos made our extended absence manageable, and I will absolutely be booking them for future needs. You can be assured your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I’m so grateful.

Suzanne is very very sweet person , my 90lbs 3 yrs old Labrador pup Stella was with her for 8 days and Suzanne gave me all the updates , text, videos of stella . Suzanne kept stella free in her house which was really good for my pup because stella don't like to be caged or alone in room. I would definitely keep stella with Suzanne in future and I can't thank you enough Suzanne for care you gave to stella. I would recommend Suzanne to everyone who is looking for daycare for there pets.

We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sasha received while we were away for the weekend. Jasmin and her husband were incredibly sweet, kind, and loving, and from the moment we met them, we knew Sasha was in great hands. Knowing our girl was being cared for and loved on like one of their own gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. We truly appreciate the kindness they showed Sasha and would gladly trust them with her again. Highly recommend!

Nelia and her family were such reliable and communicative sitters! I was so relaxed on my trip with daily updates and photos/videos of my dog unprompted. They were super thorough following my directions with the eye medication my dog needed during the stay, and they also brushed her teeth and followed her walk schedule. I knew my dog would be well-loved during her stay as soon as I met them at drop-off as they welcomed Rafa with kind excitement (but calmly of course!). My pup came home relaxed and happy from a fun stay. Great people, responsible and put my pet's well-being first, highly recommend for pet sitting help!

Lauriann and Sven were amazing. From the second we showed up to drop the fur babies off knew we had found some special people. One of our dogs is usually a little slow to warm up to new people but he seemed to be happy and content from the get go. And Sven said they got along splendidly. Lauriann sent update pics throughout the weekend and we could tell the pups were having a great time. We greatly appreciate how kind, attentive, and welcome both Lauriann and Sven are.

I have been leaving my dogs at Robs place for over a year now. My dogs are always excited when they get there and are always having a good time playing with the other pups there. Rob always sends videos of him walking our dogs and of them playing with others which is always great to see. I will continue using Rob for future stays!

I always worry especially now that my dog is almost 14, but I don’t worry at all when my dog is at her house! She takes tons of great pictures and videos! You could tell that my dog loves it at her house!! She and her husband are the nicest people! Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about her!
