They truly enjoy caring for others pets nice yard my dogs. All three of them had a great time. they were very accommodating with my schedule
Myle is the best! I love all the photos and updates that we got. She was so kind. Her dogs were absolutely kind and adorable. They really helped Maggie feel like she was part of their pack. This is probably the only time I ever felt comfortable leaving my dog with another person. I know Maggie missed us but I think she also misses Myle and her pups. 100% recommend!
Erin was flexible, easy to schedule and very responsive. Chicago was tired from his weekend of playing 😊
Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.
Bruin enjoyed his time with Austin. He was a tired boy. Lots of walk. Ball playing and love. Austin treated him like his own. Austin sent few pictures of Bruin on his stay. Definitely recommend him. Bruin will go back
Alex is great with Ruby - she gets anxious when going to a kennel but she loves hanging out with Alex and his family. Alex is great at communicating and sending pictures of what they are up to and I love it. This is our second time using Alex and we will definitely use him again next time.
Our two dogs loved their stay with Jana! She sent pictures to us during the stay and quick to respond to messages. She had toys for the dogs to play with, and a perfect yard for them to run around. She is a great choice for boarding!
Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.
