“Our dog had a great stay with Kelly. She was very responsive and provided photos throughout his stay. He arrived home the next day and napped for hours, which is a sign for our energetic dog how much fun he had with Kelly! We will definitely use her again!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Esther-Elizabeth and Michael! At the moment of drop-off, we know that Michael had everything under control and that Jiggs would be well taken care of by this lovely couple. When I asked for an update, I got a cute video that helped reassure us that Jiggs was doing well. I highly recommend Esther-Elizabeth and Michael for your dog sitting needs! We will definitely be repeat clients. A+++”

Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

“Katie did an amazing job watching my dog Luna for 12 days while I was abroad! She was an easy and clear communicator, and she sent a ton of super adorable photos. It was clear that my dog was super happy and well cared for, and got along well with Katie’s sweet pup Henry. Absolutely recommend!!”

I was in a situation and it was such a relief to not have to be stressed with my fur baby. I thank God for her and the love she gave my pet. Thank you so much Kimberly and God bless you and your business. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.”

“Dena was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and my dog was well cared for. She was flexible with pick up drop off times, I would use her again to watch my dog in the future:)”

“I am a clingy, overprotective dog mom. It’s me, I’m the problem. I get it. But my pup was so happy at Christine’s, she did not want to leave. My dog is super active (busy, always busy) but she’s currently still pouting and napping after 10 days at her new best friend’s house. Christine was the perfect amount of communicative to let me enjoy my trip out of the country, while allowing me to not have constant anxiety. She is also super understanding and flexible, which is a huge plus. My pup will definitely be staying with her again soon! So happy and grateful to her.”

“Lauren took great care of our golden retriever! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. I felt comfortable knowing Warren was in great hands while we were away for the weekend! We will definitely use Lauren again!”

Dena was absolutely wonderful with our English Mastiff, Saffron. She welcomed Saffron into her home like family and kept us connected with regular updates and photos. Our girl clearly felt loved and cared for the entire time. Dena is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely loving with the dogs she watches. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be repeat customers.

Erin and Allan took great care of our rescue dog Jordi who can sometimes suffer separation anxiety. They were patient, understanding and made sure he felt at home. Took him on walks and rubbed his belly. In return, I was able to relax on a much needed vacation. Thank you!

Pat is great, and so is her pup, Mojo. She is personable and updated me with messages and photos. She took Frito on walks and played fetch with him in her backyard with Mojo. Frito was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I will definitely book with Pat again. She was caring and attentive with Frito and the other dogs I met in her care.
Liza was so caring and attentive to my dog Suki while boarding her! From the very start with an initial meet and greet, I felt more than assured I would be leaving my dog in great hands. Liza was timely for the meet and greet, pickup, and drop off. She kept me informed and was also very understanding of my pets specific needs. She took excellent care of her for the almost two week boarding. Would definitely look to have her watch Suki again!

I had an extremely positive experience boarding my dog with Shane. He has a really nice environment for dogs - a cozy indoor area in his house and a large yard where they can play. Shane provided me daily updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. Prior to boarding, he did a meet-and-greet with me so he could see if my dog is a good fit which made me confident that the dogs he watches are well-behaved and get along. He treated my dog very kindly and I would not hesitate to entrust him with my dog in the future.

Finding someone you trust with your dogs is priceless, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Our two dogs were treated like family, and it showed in how happy and content they were when we returned. The updates, attention to detail, and genuine love made all the difference. We are so grateful and would absolutely book again!

Megan watched our large dog Kira for two weeks over the holidays and was awesome! It is so clear that Megan has a heart for animals and she really managed Kira in a way that made her comfortable. Kira’s not always comfortable with other dogs but loves fetch, tug of war, and kids. Megan took her on walks and for games of fetch every day and sent us pictures and videos. It was so clear to us that Kira had a great time and was happy in Megan’s care. Of course, that put us at ease too. We’d definitely ask Megan to watch Kira again!

Robin was amazing! Her response time is fast. She was very at tentative to my dog Symba. I’ve never seen him play so much with toys and be so happy! I was scared he may not want to come home! Lol Robin gave me continuous updates and pictures. I really appreciate the fsbulous care she gave. Definitely a 10 out of 10!!!!
