Natalie was super friendly! Her backyard was perfectly setup for my young golden retriever. Lots of space for her to run around and play. I got lots of pictures of Nova playing with the other pups, and she fell asleep immediately after we got home, so she sure had a fun day. Would definitely recommend booking with Natalie!

Our first experience ever using this site came with Tiffney and my wife and I couldn’t have been any happier with the experience. We made the mistake of not booking our dog a kennel with a boarder during spring break, but it ended up working out well! Tiffney and her daughter truly provided our fur baby with a loving home and even a new couple furry friends (Tiffney’s dogs). Tiffney opened her doors on short notice and gave our pup a roof and needed attention for almost 8 days.

Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.

I'm so glad we found Karisa and her family. We were looking for someone to take care of our dog, Trooper, while we were out of town. We boarded him with Karisa and everything was great. We received messages all week long with pictures, and we could tell Trooper had a great time. We will definitely plan on boarding Trooper with Karisa in the future.

She and her family are great at watching dogs and she sends pictures throughout. If you are new to the area she also has lots of suggestions on where to bring the dog for Vet, grooming, and other. Again, highly recommend.
