“Jenny is the absolute best person to watch your dogs. She’s so caring and genuinely love animals. My Milo loves her so much. I couldn’t thank her enough for helping me watch Milo while I had to work. 10/10 recommended. Definitely will be using Jenny again in the future.”


“It was our first time leaving our 4 month puppy, Homie with a sitter and we were nervous. Lucky for us, Zoe was available and so close to our home! Homie did great and fit in with their family ❤️ Thank you so much for loving on our baby.”


“Lori is so nice, easy-going, and sweet with our dog! Cookie isn’t used to being in daycares/boarding and gets anxious when he is away from home but she made sure he was comfortable and loved. She will probably be my go-to in the future. I highly recommend her!”


“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”


“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”
