“10 stars out of 5. Wait, 11!! Cindy provides absolutely exceptional care. Our special pup spent over two weeks with her--she even accomdated when we were delayed a day getting home. She kept in contact as often as I asked and provided routine updates. She also kept his feeding and medication routine perfectly to a T. Most importantly, she cares just as much-if not more!-about the precious pups she looks after as you do. Her enormous fenced yard is a plethora of new adventure while remaining completely safe. I simply cannot thank her enough!”


“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”


“Stanley loved Sylvia! He was shy when we met her for the introductory meeting beforehand, but at least he wasn’t barking, which is usually the case. He was sad when I left him the day I dropped him off, but not upset. Sylvia sent me so many photos and updates! He slowly made his way to getting closer to her, and now he has a second mom. I wasn’t sure he’d come home with me :P Thank you for taking such good care of my baby, Sylvia!”


“Blanca is so friendly, kind, and trustworthy. She was so affectionate and caring to our little senior dog, Pepper. She even picked her up from us!! Her home is so nice and calming. We can't say enough amazing things about her!!!”


“My 2 labs were loved and cared for as part of the family, by Maria, her child & husband AND Maria’s own wonderful dogs were so sweet and welcoming. I was sent pictures every day and I could tell my dogs were relaxed and spoiled with love. While my dogs were excited to see me when I picked them up, they were not frantic and panicked to leave (as has happened with past dog sitters). Maria “gets” animals and animal behavior, and her set up is great for dogs that are used to being family members. Highly recommend if your dog(s) are the sort of temperament that “plays well with others” and just wants to be loved on.”


“I was a little apprehensive leaving my 10 month old puppy with someone else since she's large and quite high energy (par for the course with puppies!), but it was clear throughout her stay that my pup Stella was in great hands! Layda was very professional, responsive, sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the stay and treated my pup like her own. Her home and large backyard, pool, and other puppy playmate were like heaven for our Stella. I will definitely be reaching out to Layda for our pup to stay again in the future!”


“Exceptional Care for Furry Friends! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting our boy to the care of Ligia and her hubby, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment I met them, it was evident that they possess a genuine love and passion for animals. They went above and beyond to ensure that our dog felt comfortable and loved during his stay. I appreciated the regular updates and photos that they sent. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals make them stand out as an exceptional choice.”



“Wendy and her family are the best. Roy's becoming a regular with Wendy! Wendy truly cares for animals under her care and it shows. Communication and pictures daily! I would give her 6 stars if possible!”


“These folks are the real deal. They have a wonderful home for dogs to get cozy and feel safe while you're gone. They kept us updated while we were away. Our pup had a great time, was exercised each day, and made friends with a few of the dogs! Highly recommend.”


“Cannot praise her enough for how much above and beyond she went to take care of my dog while I was away for 3 days for the first time. I was anxious and worried but she kept me updated every 2-3 hours with photos and comments on how my fur baby was doing. At the end of the day she wrote me a summary of my dog's day! My dog got along very well with her dog Summer. She treated my dog with true love and even took him to the beach and also offered to give him a bath. She was cuddling with my baby and gave him lots of love. It was absolutely an incredible experience with her and I will look nowhere else for my dog's day care/boarding services. Thanks again!”


“Love the experience my Coop had with Jessica. As a dog owner and lover, each and every animal has their own unique different needs. I've scoured every sitters profile & reviews in my area, and she fit the bill perfectly. I loved that she only took one dog at a time, which was so important to me, as my dog is older and needs the calm and quiet setting. I would recommend her 100%!! Thank you Jessica.”


“Miracle enjoyed her stay and we will be using her in the future. Our sitter fell through last minute and Maria stepped up and was able to help us with almost no notice. We got updates and pictures. She was well cared for and got along great with the other dogs. I joked Miracle would stay if we let her.”


“Thank you again for a successful and pleasant boarding experience. It is always good to leave your fur baby with someone she loves going to see and spend time with 👍🏾❤️ 🐶”


“Kaitlyn and Andrew were wonderful. They sent us pics of Abby every day while we were on vacation. We could tell Abby was loved and enjoyed her time with them. She also got to make friends with their dog Pancake who kept Abby company while we were away. Recommend 100%”


“Ashley took such good care of our Annie and Lola! We got videos and updates daily. She was on point with communication throughout about pickup and drop off and everything in between. Our pups were so comfortable in her home and definitely didn’t miss us. They looked so happy in all their videos and were very well cared for! We will definitely be using Ashley again :)”



“My dog had an amazing time! Randy is an awesome host and the property is perfect for dogs. I also received tons of videos and photos. Highly recommend!”
