“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”


“Bradley and their family took great care of Cooper for 4 weeks while we were away on vacation. She took care of Cooper as if he was her own baby boy. She responded immediately to any messages and questions. Cooper was very happy to be with their family and enjoyed his stay very much. We look forward to booking with them again in the future. By far the best sitter we’ve encountered for our Cooper.”

“Valerie was awesome with our puppy and helping us out with a last minute request! Our pup needs plenty of supervision along with firm and kind guidance. Valerie recognized this quickly and had no problem handling our dog. I also saw that Jenna was comfortable with Valerie. When it was time to go home, Jenna kept going back to Valerie's side to say goodbye and get more pets and attention. I would not hesitate to board Jenna with Valerie again. Thank you!”


“Maria was great! Our golden, Hudson, settled right in with her dogs and her family. They took such wonderful care of him showering him with love and lots of playtime! We received so many photos of him while we were gone and in each and every photo, he was actually smiling! This was such a positive experience! Thank you, Maria!!”



“Kathleen was great! She accommodated me at the last minute when I really needed her and put my mind at ease! She was very thorough and caring while getting to know Munchkin’s habits and interests. She has a very nice house with a fenced in yard where she could run around and play. She updated me regularly with photos and videos of her and took her on a long walk. Kathleen was a fantastic find.”



“We had a wonderful experience with Dana. We were hesitant to leave our new puppy with anyone, but based off her reviews we felt reasonably comfortable with her. After meeting her, and her dogs, the worries dissolved. She genuinely cares and enjoys her time with the animals. She kept in contact and sent us several updates and photos of Mila. It really helped alleviate the anxiety over leaving her with someone new. We had an overall great experience with Dana and definitely recommend her to anyone. We will be booking her again when we need to board her.”

She took such great care of our little guy and I can tell that he enjoyed his time with Sarah and her family.”


“Megan and family were great with Rue. They kindly opened up their home for Christmas. Rue was a good boy, loved their dog and kids but he especially loved Megan.

“Jennifer was awesome!! I was so nervous abt leaving Lexi with a stranger… (Being such a small Yorkie I worry that she could get hurt) But Jen and her family was amazing with Lex!!

I have full confidence and trust in this family to take care of my baby girl!”

We will be having them watch Nipsey again in the future and recommending them to our family and friends. Thank you again Nelia and Brett!”
