“Mike is amazing at what he does! It’s a bit of a drive for me but I see it as worth it - he’s very intentional with every dog and does a phenomenal job at caring for my puppy. :) She enjoys going over for the day.”


“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”


“Today our pup spent the day with Jessica, Rick, and Luna. When it came time to pick him up, he had so much fun, he didn’t want to go home. Due to schedule changes we were in rut trying to find a last minute doggy day care for our high energy pup. Jessica responded quickly and was willing to take him in for the day. Our pup is home now and exhausted from a long and fun day playing with Jessica, Rick, and Luna.”


“Giovana and her family were so wonderful with Skye. I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter. Thank you so much for treating Skye like he was part of your family. If I need a sitter again, hopefully you are available. 😁”



“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”

“Sandy is the best person to care for your dog while you’re away. She takes the time to find out about your dog before she takes care of them. It’s obvious that she truly loves caring for dogs. I know my little guy will miss all of the love she gave him in my absence. Lisa L.”



“Kelly has been great with Coco! Because she has other dogs, Coco had the opportunity to socialize and have a ton of playtime. When I would pick her up in the evenings, she was so mellow which is saying a lot for an energetic puppy. Kelly kept me updated with pics of Coco throughout the day. We will definitely use her again!”

She is already looking forward to the next time she goes back!”
