1. Lee J.

“Lee was SO sweet and took great care of my dog for a couple of days. She sent regular pupdates and was really responsive. I was nervous because my dog doesn’t spend much time with other dogs at all and Lee was willing to do a meet and greet and we let the dogs meet and get acclimated to the space a few days before her actual stay. Can’t say thank you enough and would definitely rebook in the future!”


2. Megan & Jenny R.

“As always Megan and Jenny were incredible with my Sunny girl—even took her on last minute! So thankful we have found them. Sunny always comes home happy and tired ❤️”


3. April L.

“This was Mimi's first week long boarding experience. April took really good care of her and sent us messages and photos every day. Mimi has some imbalance due to spinal cord surgery. April made a ramp so that she could get on the couch without jumping. She is caring and attentive to details. Mimi had lots of cuddling and head scratches. We felt such peace of mind going so far away. Now we know Mimi can have her vacation as well.”




4. Jeff & Beth K.

“5 stars all the way! Jeff and his family are wonderful! Our pup is shy and skittish of new people but Jeff and family quickly put her at ease. Even better, I got loads of picture updates. My pup was loved and cared for and had a great stay! My pup will definitely be back!”


5. Karen & Hisako N.

“Karen and Hidalgo took great care of Allie! They sent lots of photos and kept in touch. They went above and beyond! We highly recommend them.”


6. Karen M.


“Karen is a lovely human and a dedicated dog lover. We adopted a hound last July and she has had a few challenges, so we looked for a boarding option that would be a positive experience for our dog while also providing enough supervision and calm attentive care so she would feel comfortable. Our pup has become very attached to me because of the many times she was abandoned, so it really took a special touch to help her feel safe right away. Karen’s dog Ginsburg became her pal, and they spent hours basking in the sun on the deck in the backyard. When our pup came home after staying with Karen she was happy and calm, with no added nervousness or reactivity after the change. From our first meeting when Karen and Ginsburg met us for a walk Karen was also a wonderful resource, sharing helpful ideas after listening closely to our specific challenges with our sweet sensitive hound. After our first meeting I asked if we could meet a second time and Karen suggested we meet at her house so I could see how Rosie behaved in her home. This was such a helpful step, and helped me feel comfortable boarding her at Karen’s house. If you want a household of dog lovers who truly care about your dog’s well being and healthy development, then this is the place for you!”

10. Anthony A.

“Anthony and Nikita were great about keeping us posted. We were confident that B was in loving and attentive care, and the posts and photos proved that.”


11. Andrea L.

“Andrea is wonderful! She’s so kind and caring with my little dog. He wasn’t feeling 100% when I dropped him off. She took extra good care of him, made sure he got plenty of rest, and sent me lots of updates and photos. Excellent experience and I will definitely call on her again. Thanks!!!”




12. Mariola P.

“Mariola is awesome! Very kind to my dog, communicative and detail oriented. Genuinely loves dogs and has a comforting home. I truly appreciate her support and care.”


13. Lilly R.

“This was my dog’s second time staying with Lilly and her husband. and when I dropped my dog off, I was so pleased to see how excited my dog was to see them again! Lilly made sure to keep my Pomeranian cool/away from the hot pavement and administered her medication with care. We will be back! 🙏”


14. Alex N.

“Zero really enjoyed hanging out with Alex and Wally during his stay with them! Alex was really responsive the entire process from initial conversations, scheduling the meet and greet, pickup/dropoff, and during the stay itself, and provided a lot of really cute pictures of Zero clearly having the best time with them. Alex was very thorough in understanding Zero's needs, and it was clear that she had a lot of tools, tricks (up her sleeve and also teaching one to Zero!), and experience to manage not just Zero and his high puppy energy, but clearly all varieties of dogs and their personalities and quirks. This also comes with a good mentality, appreciation, humor, and understanding towards dogs, and that translates into a wonderful caretaker for your pup. When a small hiccup happened, she told us what happened, how she took care of it, and how Zero reacted as well. Will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Alex!”


15. Vanessa J.
“Vanessa is a life saver. We had pet care fall through at the last minute and she stepped in. She was so caring and kind to us and the pets. Very communicative and reliable”


16. Melina B.

“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”


17. Sophia L.

“I booked Sophia for my dog Nugget and he loves her! My dog can be picky on who he wants to be near and Sophia made it easy for Nugget to adapt to her. She was very gentle and was able to read Nugget’s body language. During the stay, Sophia provided constant updates with picture on Nugget which included the number of walks they did and if Nugget was eating right. Overall, Sophia was the best dog sitter I’ve booked and I think I found my forever dog sitter.”


18. Mary C.


“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”


19. Alexandra O.

“Alexandra was a great dog sitter. She provided regular updates and photos via text. Here proactive communication made me feel very comfortable and I will definitely seek her our in the future.”


20. Kristen & Ryan C.

“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
