“Walter loved his stay with Taylor & Chad. He had puppy friends to play with and was treated like family. I highly recommend Taylor and will be using her again. While he's happy to be back home, he misses Taylor and all the new friends he made at her house.”
“I absolutely love the way they care for my dog, they definitely treat him as their own. They are very caring and communicate great with me. I like getting pictures here and there while we are out of town. I will only trust them with my dog from now on.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitter than Steffani! From the meet-and-greet to the moment our dogs arrived at her home, we knew they were in wonderful hands. Steffani went above and beyond, sending us photos, videos, and detailed updates that kept our minds at ease while we were out of the country. It was such a comfort to see them happy and settled and playing in her yard. She truly treated them like her own, and we could tell they felt right at home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Steffani for all our future dog-sitting needs!”
“We took our little dog to Mariia for the first time. She kept in touch to let us know how she was doing, and we were very happy with the way she cared for her. We will be using her again!”
“Karin is amazing!!! My boy fit right in at her beautiful home! She has a really great doggie that helped him not have too much anxiety with his mom leaving him in a new place for the day! I highly recommend Karin”
“Amazing first experience boarding for my puppy! I am extremely grateful for all the updates, videos and photos! Sage (my puppy) absolutely loved making new friends with your dogs. Anastasia was extremely thoughtful, trustworthy and patient. Thank you!”
“Swetha was terrific. Provided timely updates on our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs and adjustments to our booking. She allowed us to bring our dog to her home and meet her family prior to our booking date which definitely eased any concerns. I would highly recommend Swetha and definitely will be a returning customer as she provided first class service to my dog and I.”
“Lucy is super reliable, and obviously loves hanging out with our pets. I like how she sends pictures and takes the extra time to listen to everything your pets need to feel comfortable in her home.Very clean home and fenced in yard.Very pleased with her service. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Jason was outstanding! I highly recommend him. It's been years since my dog, Hershey, has been away from me/my family, so I was nervous about leaving him with someone new while I was on vacation. Hershey is sometimes picky about who he likes, and he seemed to immediately love Jason. It was a huge relief to leave Hershey with someone who he seemed to trust. He was very responsive and regularly sent me photos/videos and updates. Jason made Hershey feel right at home. I will absolutely go to him in the future if needed!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“Always a great experience boarding my dog there. Would definitely recommend. I’ve moved and no longer close but I still take my dog there because I trust them and I know she’s well taken care of.”
“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”
“Stephanie kept us updated on Karma regularly, and that put us at ease. She was quick to communicate when Karma had blood in his stools. Thank you Stephanie for taking care of Karma for 2 weeks!!”
“I cant say this enough, Clara is the best! She understands every detail about caring for a pet and absolutely loves animals. She always works with my travel schedules and makes things so much easier for pick up and drop off. Would definitely rebook and recommend her to my friends!”
“My boys enjoyed their time with Sheran. He kept steady communication and provided pictures throughout their stay. He also was very calm and patient with them. Definitely will book with Sheran again!!! Great sitter!!!”
“Martha and her family are phenomenal. I get very emotional about leaving my dog. I’ve suffered a lot of losses recently and I don’t like to leave my boy. Martha and her family made me feel so at ease. I feel comfortable traveling without worry. I recommend her to anyone even though this might take her away from me lol”
“Jen was very responsive and immediately got along with our dogs. We have two big dogs, one with an incredible amount of energy — Jen was able to handle all of that energy, even with all the rain and mud! Dogs came back happy and exhausted. Thanks Jen!”
“Angel did a great job caring for our dog Kawaii. It was our 1st time leaving her overnight anywhere and Angel put our mind at ease. She sent pictures and updates everyday without us even requesting. She took the time to ask questions about her and even let us do a meet and greet. Angel was very professional and you can tell she loves animals!! In the future I will definitely be asking Angel to care for Kawaii again.”
“Ally did a great job with our pups while we were out of the country. She kept in close contact with lots of updates and pics to ease our mind. I would recommend her to anyone. I would note that her place might be a little small for two big dogs (that's what we have , but that's probably best determined case by case.) ”
“Dee took care of our Pamela as her own. She’s very hands on. Pamela feels home with Dee when we’re not around. It’s a home away from home. Thank you Dee for your service. For sure we will bring Pamela to you in the future. God bless you always”
