“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.”


“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”

“Ruben is ACE APPROVED! My spotted friend can have accidents in new environments or nervous pee. Nope nothing - he had all the potty breaks he needed and clearly was well cared for. Ruben’s place is the equivalent of the coveted middle school overnight gym sleepover except all the kids have four legs. Every tail wagger wants to go! Ace even kept staring at the front door when we left. That’s how you know he had a good time and made awesome friends.”


“I had a wonderful experience with Alan. She was caring, responsible, and clearly love dogs. My pío was happy and relaxed when he returned home. Alma sent regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”


“Tammy was an amazing care giver to my pup! Excellent communication and my gal was soooooo happy when I picked her up…I could tell she had a great weekend with Tammy at her place. My dog is a “Velcro dog” and will stick to you, which made Tammy and her home ideal for the kind of care that was needed. Stilly will definitely be back for more sleepovers.”


“Emily was great watching Eleanor while I was out of town. She was a great communicator, was super flexible when I had to change plans, and I know Eleanor had a great time with her!”

“Prince had a wonderful time with Andrew and Mack! I was nervous leaving him for my trip, but from the moment I dropped him off he was trying to run inside to play with his new friend.

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”
