He took great care of our fur babies and we look forward to boarding with him again!!”

“I have nothing but great things to say about my dog’s stay with Justin and Jeremy. They always make sure she’s comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. My labradoodle is so excited every time she sees them, which says it all! It’s such a relief knowing she’s in such good hands while I’m away. Truly, they are the best!!!!”
“I had an excellent experience with Kerri as my dog’s sitter! From the moment I reached out, she was responsive, friendly, and professional. Blanca immediately warmed up to her, and it felt like she was right at home. Throughout the stay, Kerri sent regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Blanca returned home happy and well-cared for, and it was clear that she had enjoyed her time with Kerri—she even seemed a bit sad to leave! I highly recommend Kerri to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”

“Brianne and her family are awesome! Always communicative, she is flexible with drop off and pick ups, and so caring towards Marvin. Will continue to use her!”
“I’m so greatful that I contacted Dulcy to keep my senior citizen? I normally place her in a kennel but but her last few stays was hard on her. Dulcy’s knowledge of dog behavior and the home space she and her family created was great! So much better than a kennel environment. She had the opportunity to socialize and when I picked her up her disposition was so much better than when coming home from the kennel. THANK YOU for caring for Osa. Wishing you and your family and Happy New Year. ?”

Everything went well and Indie came home happy. There were more dogs being cared for than I would have expected.
They sent photos and updates and made sure our dog Sheila was well loved! Our first time having her at someones home and all went well! Thank you!
As always Melina and Maria were great with my elder dog. They were gentle with her and always kept us updated.
Henry and Moses once again enjoyed their stay with Azucena! It was a challenging time to take care of dogs with lots of heat and thunderstorms, but we knew they were in good hands so we could enjoy our vacation.
Erica was fantastic! My dog took a few days to adjust, and she was very patient and flexible with him. He came home happy and exhausted. She sent many updates and was flexible and kind with pick-up and drop-off times.
Donna was amazing! She was so kind to accommodate us at the last minute due to an unforeseen emergency (and extend our stay by an evening due to an unexpected flight delay) and took excellent care of our senior dog. We got regular updates and communication about how she was doing, with pictures! We would definitely recommend Donna and Bailey would love to stay with her again!
Elena was great with my Shelbee girl. She sent lots of pictures and she was very responsive. We look forward to sitting with her again.
Timothy was absolutely wonderful! He was super quick to respond to everything, sent a ton of pictures and kept me up to date about everything. My dog seemed to have had a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to leaving her with Timothy again soon!
Amy was hands down fantastic; Merida almost didn't want to come home! Amy is very responsible and has a very nurturing energy with animals. I am so grateful to have had her watch Merida, who can be challenging to watch given her energy and strength. Thank you Amy!
Mario is phenomenal. Friendly and easy to communicate with from the beginning and our pup loved staying with him. Our dog is fickle, but he loved being with Mario over the weekend. Thanks so much!
We love Shuli! I am always confident that Emmy will be well cared for while she is staying. Emmy recognizes Shulis home and is always so excited! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!
Cindy provided great care for our big guy! Daily check ins and pictures multiple times a day. Thank you Cindy!
Victoria was absolutely amazing! She watched my Oso over the 4th of July holiday & I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Her & her two kiddos took the best care of Oso & gave him so much love while I was away! He had the best time running around in her huge backyard, it was literally a vacation for him. Victoria followed instructions & was very communicative, sending photos and updates my way! I highly recommend her & will definitely be reaching out for future bookings! Thanks again ♥️🤍💙 you guys are amazing!
Galen did a wonderful job taking care of our old dog. Her home was a calm environment and it seems like she, her family, and her older dog made our dog feel at home. She sent many pictures and it was great to see our dog having a nice stay. Would definitely book again!
Dana did such a wonderful job watching my dog Ginger. I can’t say enough about how thoughtful and conscientious she and her husband were in their care. We are lucky to have found them!!
Jacqueline was wonderful with Pixel, my senior mini goldendoodle. From the start, she made everything easy and reassuring. We did a meet and greet beforehand, and I could tell right away that Pixel felt comfortable with her. During his three-night staycation, she sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Her home is spacious with a great yard, and she made sure he got his daily walks and plenty of attention. I could tell he was genuinely happy there. She took such thoughtful care of him, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Khadija took great care of our dog Artemis as always! We were delayed in picking him up after her family road trip took longer than expected, and she was extremely gracious. We appreciate her wonderful care, communication, and flexibility!
Brendan is very professional and prompt with his communications. Our dog was happy at pickup and seemed to enjoy her stay with him!
Sandi was incredibly considerate and attentive with my dog, taking the time to understand her unique needs and making sure she was comfortable and cared for at every step. It was such a relief to know that my dog was in kind, capable hands while I was away. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Sandi provided.
