Sara and her family treated Kiwi like a true family member while we were away for 4 nights!!! She absolutely loved all of the attention from the kiddos, and Kiwi got treated to walks, trip to the park, and family time. We received daily updates with the cutest pictures. We will definitely be coming back to Sara for future needs when we are out of town!

Dan and Kelly are great! Communication about the stay was excellent and I appreciate their flexibility with drop off/pick up times. The daily pictures/videos are much appreciated as we miss our sweet boy while we’re gone. Booker had so much fun playing with the other pups and he came home happy and tired- a perfect stay!!

Matt is just AWESOME! This was the first time I used him and will not hesitate to have him watch my dog again! You can tell he really cares. My dog was treated so well and was so happy I don’t think he really wanted to come home. Absolute 5 stars!

Tatyana was absolutely amazing. We got the best photos and updates and it made me feel so much better about being away from our pup! He felt so comfortable there with her cute pup Biscuit-I’m pretty sure he wanted to move in! We will definitely be bringing Bernie back there again. He was in the BEST hands!!!! We love Tatyana!!!!

Grimm had a nice stay with Paige, her boyfriend and their two little puppies. They didn't mind all the husky hair, and had a nice fenced in yard for him to play. Paige was really flexible with drop off and pick up times, working with my crazy schedule was wonderful. Paige' s house was the perfect place for Grimm to be on his first sleep over, and I think he wouldn't mind going to visit his new friends again sometime. Thanks again Paige and Family for caring for my baby boy♡

Sabrina is a true dog lover, she took the time to learn and understand our pup’s traits and personalities and adjusted their care accordingly. Saylor is 10 and Lake is 2. They go for walks, play time in the yard and have dog treat hunts to just name a few activities. We receive texts with pictures and videos throughout the day. Saylor and Lake love staying with Sabrina and we highly recommend her. Kathy & Joe
