2. Rachel & Christopher C.
“Chris and Rachel were so amazing and wonderful. So sweet and thoughtful and made sure to provide my dog with all the love and walks he needed. Would recommend them to anyone!”
3. Eleanor M.
“We had an excellent experience with Eleanor and will definitely be using her for all our future dog sitter/boarding needs. Her and her entire family, including her dog Kalvin, are very friendly and kind. She has a large fenced property to give dogs a safe area to play and run around. We did a meet and greet prior to the boarding which put us and our dog at ease. Eleanor was communicative prior to our booking and throughout our dog’s entire stay with her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and her experience with caring and handling dogs was quite evident as our dog does not do well when away from her family and our home, yet our dog seemed so comfortable with Eleanor. Eleanor is very active and walked our dog multiple times during her short stay, which I know our dog enjoyed! My dog is definitely known for pulling on walks but Eleanor was able to keep her in control and at her side during walks! It was very clear to us that Eleanor showered our dog with love and attention as our dog was happy and at ease when we picked her up. It was a seamless transition when boarding our dog with Eleanor and this has not been our experience with other boarding situations. On a scale of 1 to 5, Eleanor definitely earned a 5 star rating! We are so happy to have found Eleanor who is a trustworthy, qualified pet sitter.”

“Riot LOVED his time with this wonderful family. Highly recommend !”
5. Brian S.
“We left our 9 month old Brittany with Brian and his wife for 4 days and would highly recommend!! We got so many pictures and updates and Brian even helped with our training. I swear Copper came back to us a better dog! He was more responsive and better at listening. Brian gave me some training tips and techniques that I’m using now and having great results. Brian has a great yard and from 5he pictures it looked like copper was playing non stop and always had plenty of toys around him. Copper is extremely energetic and toy motivated and Brian and his wife took great care with him! Copper was set to start a new round of raw food on the day we dropped him off and Brian having worked as a vet tech for many years really helped us by slowly weening copper off of his dry food and onto his new food. He gave me updates of his eating habits because I was worried about how he would take to new food and was very knowledgeable about the process. We will continue to use Brian!”

From the initial communication, to the Meet & Greet and during our dog’s boarding, it couldn’t have been a better experience. We chose Natalie & Ruben because of their stellar reviews and sweet family. We really appreciated the updates, photos and videos and knew Copper was well cared for. Thank you again ❤️?”

“Izac and family took great care of Bishop! Sent me plenty of photos and videos, and he came back a happy pup! Will definitely use Izac and family again!”
20. Danielle W.
“Danielle was amazing and went above and beyond— if you want personalized care and excellent communication you will definitely want to book her!! We had a rover fall through and she was able to provide last minute care for my senior dog Ollie. Lots of picture updates along the way and it was clear that her and/or her adult son were always available. They provided medications and soft food on schedule and even went out to purchase his food after we mistakenly did not provide enough. Ollie wears belly bands and she returned them clean for us. Our dog cannot get up or down on couches so she allowed us to bring our set of doggy stairs which seemed to work great! Her home is very clean and in a safe area with a doggy door to a nice yard. I felt confident and secure leaving our pup and was so happy he had dogs to play with during his stay!!! He gets nervous in new places but when I picked him up he was beyond happy and relaxed, definitely recommend!”
