“Jennifer and Chris were great and our dogs had a great time. We especially appreciated our initial meeting. This allowed us to see all of their pets and get Sassy and Pierre to familiarize themselves with each one of theirs. Pierre went into this doggy vacay having anxiety from our previous boarding experience and they did a wonderful job and we have not been able to notice any anxiety since getting him back. We will definitely be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a peace of mind experience with boarding their dogs. Thanks again to both of you Jennifer & Chris!”


“Susy was great with our Zoey! Zoey is very attached to us and we were very nervous to leave her, but Susy soon stole her heart! Zoey made herself right at home and quickly became protective over Susy, which means she must have been giving lots of love and treatos to Zoey. Susy sent lots of pictures and updates that showed just how much love Susy was giving Zoey and how much fun Zoey was having! Would definitely recommend trusting Susy with your pets :)”



“Sent us pictures of our pup everyday and gave updates. Our pupper had a friend all week to play with and came back happy! Great family to have take care of your dog!”


“This as Milo’s first time being boarded and he had a great time! Denise and her family gave him lots of love and affection. He was very well taken care of. They even washed his bowls and everything! You can tell they are dog lovers.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog received from Christianna & Mary. From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. They were incredibly responsible and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. My dog was calm, happy, and excited when I returned, which is a huge relief. I highly recommend Christianna & Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their furry friend!”


“Jacqueline was absolutely amazing with our girl Roxy! Kept us updated constantly with pictures/videos while she was under her care! She has an amazing beautiful home & backyard! You won’t be disappointed when leaving your furbabies with this amazing woman. 10/10.”



“I just wanted to take a moment to share my fantastic experience with Melissa, who took care of my dog, Sky. From the get-go, it was clear that Melissa is an absolute dog lover! When I dropped Sky off, she instantly made me feel at ease. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing. Melissa has three dogs of her own, and they were all friendly and welcoming. It didn’t take long for Sky to fit right in and start playing with them. I loved how well they got along; it was a great relief to see my pup so happy and engaged with other dogs. When I picked Sky up, she was exhausted but so joyful! It was obvious she had an awesome time with Melissa and her dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for my furry friend. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a loving and safe place for their pets. Thanks, Melissa! You truly made Sky’s day! 🐾”



“Christine was wonderful with our girl. We highly recommend her for your next dog sitting. Mochi loves to visit and play with Christine. She is queen for the day. Thank you for taking such good care of her. We never worry when she is with you.”


“Ethel Mae’s proxy parents, Jessica and Charles, continue to make her feel right at home. And I mean RIGHT at home! They both indulge her. We are so happy to have found them.”


“Ashley welcomed Gordon with open arms! She was professional, communicative and friendly. From our meet-and-greet, I knew Gordon was going to be well taken care of and have a ball playing with Ashley’s dog Luna. She gave him lots of attention playing and on walks, with pictures and videos for us. After two days, we got a happy (and tired!) dog back, with new friends for the future. 10/10, would recommend! We will use Ashley again.”


“Our pup had so much fun staying with Charles! She had lots of attention, cuddles, and playtime with puppy pals. I love that she wasn't put in a kennel and was allowed to sleep in a home environment.”


“Anika was an amazing care giver for my fur baby. She sent daily videos and pictures which alleviated my anxiety. Since my fur baby was only 16 weeks old, Anika was really patient with him because he is not fully house trained. I will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter.”


“Chrishauna and her family was so AMAZING! My fur baby was so well taken care of and loved as if she was their own. They took care of her for almost a week and I got pictures and updates daily. I’m so happy I chose her to care for my fur baby and she will definitely be the only sitter for my family.”


“On a scale of 1 to 10, Liz is a 10+ dog boarder/caregiver. It was quite apparent in the photos and videos she sent that my 2 girls felt loved and were very happy. They made new fur friends, having such a fun time playing with Liz's 2 oh so sweet pups. I would highly recommend Liz if you need dog boarding services.”
