1. Sean D.
“Highly recommend Sean - he was able to fit us in extremely last minute (the day before New Years weekend) and took in our 5 month old puppy, Pete, meeting him for the first time when we dropped him off. Thankful he was so flexible especially over the holiday. Pete had a great time and got a lot of playtime with new dog and human friends!”

5. Chris & Vashti V.
“Chris was great! Got sent multiple pictures and videos and messages throughout the visit about my dog. He was great on being flexible with us and having to adjust times. We got a happy and tired doggy at the end of the day. Would use him again in a heartbeat.”
6. Lindsay R.

14. Susan M.
“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”

“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”
18. Rebecca O.
“Rebecca took care of my two crazy orange cats and she did phenomenally! I was out of town on vacation and she made sure to brush my cats, scoop the litter regularly, give them a nail trim (which is so hard since both of them are so restless) along with taking them outside in my cat stroller and play with them! She also made sure that they didn't get into any food and throw up! Thank you so much for watching them! I hope to have you watch them again!”
19. Amanda S.
“Amanda has always had a sincere connection and deep love for animals. The passion and dedication she shows towards them truly conveys how caring and empathetic she is. I believe Amanda has a plethora of ability to take care of almost any animal. And she would do it with love and laughter.”
20. Ki B.
“Ki was flexible with my work schedule needs and was very communicative in sending pictures and updates of Benji. She brought him on plenty of walks too. Her excitement to meet Benji reassured me that he was in good hands.”
