1. Britanny B.
“Britanny is wonderful. My dog was very unsure and combative when I took her to be boarded. We were not sure that we would be able to leave. Brittany was very reassuring and knew just how to sooth her (and me). It worked out so well and Kiwi really settled in and we were able to enjoy our week secured in knowing all was OK. Photos and texts daily were very reassuring. Thank you Britanny and family!”
2. Laura G.
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
3. Sherry B.
“You know you have a great sitter when you dogs are just as excited to see you as they are them! Sherry was great when them and we are so grateful to have found her.”
4. Maggie L.
“Maggie took very good care of Samson, or 2 1/2 year old energetic dog. good looooong walks, lots of cuddling, and he seemed really happy there. Add to that, lots of photos sent to us to put our minds more at ease while we were away. Her dog Moose got along really well with Samson too. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants TLC for their pup.”

7. Maria D.
“Maria was great! So friendly, attentive, responsive & easy to work with. You can tell she loves dogs and she took excellent care of my Remy! Knowing Remy was in good hands made it much less stressful to go on vacation. I loved getting pictures & updates and already booked her to watch Remy again. Thank you, Maria! :)”
8. Holly M.
“So grateful to Holly and her family for taking such great care of Juno for 2.5 weeks while we were away. She was really great meeting with us beforehand and ensuring all of Juno’s needs would be taken care of, and generally just being very attentive and responsive. Juno had a wonderful time in her beautiful home and woodsy neighborhood, and we’ll happily book with Holly again in the future!”

13. Dyan C.
“Dyan did a fantastic job taking care of my senior deaf terrier mutt. Her dog got along with him so well and he was clearly happy and comfortable there. Dyan communicated with us the whole time we were gone and sent pictures based on our preferences to make sure we were comfortable with how things were going. She is very responsive to messages and so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend booking with her - I am already rebooking with her”
14. Ruth J.
“Ruth was recommended to me by my mom who has used her multiple times for boarding. It was so great to have a trusted place to send our girl while we were away. We got lots of photos of Layla having fun with her new friends and going on adventures. Would definitely book more boarding with Ruth in the future.”
15. Josh A.
“This is our second time using Josh and he is highly recommended. Great communicator, sends us pictures and updates, flexible, and our pup loves going to his house and that is a huge relief that while we are on vacation, our pup is loving hers.”
16. Julius G.

17. Laura C.
“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”
18. Kristin T.
“Wonderful experience! My go-to from now on whenever I need someone to watch my two cats. Super friendly, animal lover, safe and comfortable house for the fur babies to stay.”
19. Angela & Tommy P.
“I'm so happy I found Angela (khanh) and Tommy before traveling halfway around the globe. After our meet and greet I knew I could relax on vacation knowing my pup was in good hands. Angela has that motherly instinct for all dogs big and small, and Tommy is an experienced dog groomer. I got picture and video updates everyday, I felt like my dog was at summer camp and she would never want to come home! I know she got lots of love and exercise and she will be coming back again.”
20. Ricky R.
“We highly recommend Ricky for your pet-sitting needs! He took great care of our older Yorkie. He provided daily updates and feedback, along with photos. The feeding instructions and medication were followed without any issues, and our little one returned happy and healthy. Excellent stay :-)”
