“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”


“Kathryn was amazing! So warm and inviting to me and my dog Romeo! The kids loved on him just like he was their own. I got pics of him everyday and I’ve never seen a smile so big on his face! She made him feel at home and made me feel at ease knowing he was being taken care of in a safe and happy environment! This was my first time boarding him and I absolutely will be calling her in the future! 10/10!”


“We were gone for 3 days and got constant updates and pictures and videos. When we picked up our Dixie she was wore out from all the fun she had. Could not recommend more. Will continue to use Heather anytime we need to go out of town. Thank you for treating Dixie as your own!”


“This was the 1st time we'd ever left my very anxious dog! I was terrified but he must've had a blast..he's been napping since we picked him up. Thank you Denise for taking such good care of my baby!!”


“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”



“Great experience. Warren and Ashlee were very flexible and accommodating with my circumstances and understand the trials and tribulations traveling the I95 corridor. My dog was eager to stay at their house and appeared in good health and spirits when I returned for him. Very responsive to my communication and needs. Will definitely have my dog stay with them again.”


“Alicia is a wonderful pet sitter, she’s kind, caring and took excellent care of my Coco. When I met with her for a meet and greet I knew she would be the perfect one. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages. I was so relieved that Coco was well cared for while we were away.”


“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”


“Connie is great! We feel confident our dogs are well taken care of and we highly recommend her services. We receive pictures everyday and the dogs look like they’re having a great time.”


“We found Nikki in a pinch, and I’m so glad we did! She exceeded our expectations and made us feel so comfortable! She sent daily pictures that made our day, was an excellent communicator, and was extremely accommodating and kind. We will 100% use Nikki and her family again in the future. It’s so great to know we have great care around the corner! Highly recommend”


“We had an excellent experience with Amy. Communication was clear, easy drop off and pick up and she sent lots of photos of our dog having a blast with her dogs. We will definitely use her again.”


“We had a great experience with Yeny and Ray! They were wonderful with our Furbaby, Kyon. We received lots of sweet and funny photo updates that perfectly captured his personality. It’s clear he was well loved and cared for.. he misses them already! We’re looking forward to booking with them again. Highly recommend!”


“tiffany, david and their kids are absolutely great! they take really great care of my dogs, they are very communicative and jus does above and beyond. i would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!”


“Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She communicated with me every day and sent photos. Before drop off, she called and told me about the environment at her house and asked some questions, which was reassuring. She treated our dog like he was one of her family members. He came home happy and tired, and he made friends with some other pups. We would definitely use Jennifer again as a dogsitter. Thanks!”


“Milu loved staying with Phillip. We could tell by the pictures and videos he shared with us that she was happy and comfortable. We would definitely booked with him again. 100% recommended.”
