“Our boys seemed to enjoy staying with Kassie- she loved on them and they loved having other dogs to play with. Our Aussie can be a bit sad/anxious when we leave him- but both our dogs did wonderful. She sent us pics, which was great! I would highly recommend her!! Thanks, Kassie!!”


“Michelle did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog when I had to travel for work. It was always stressful for me if I had to travel and worry about my dogs but Michelle made it so easy for me this time. She’s so awesome communicating on scheduling and understanding how to take better care of my dogs. During the stay, doggos looked really happy and stress less from tons of wonderful pictures she sent to me. It’s not hard to tell that she truly cares for my dogs! I’ll definitely go back to her!”


“I contacted Anj on a bit of short notice and after booking, she made feel that I had made the right decision immediately. She took great care of Tammy and sent me update and pics frequently. I could definitely contact her to care for Tammy again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“Kaycee did an awesome job watching my dog! She kept me informed on how he was doing, sent me pictures, and most importantly made my dog feel at home with her. She even sewed him a bandana that he loves to wear around and rock in style. I will be using her services again in the future!”

Connie Y.
“Connie is the only person I trust to watch my fur baby Luna. Luna loves to go stay at Connie's and visit her fur friends Ollie and Milo. Luna is very particular about going outside to the bathroom and she usually will only go with me and my husband but she does go out for Connie. Luna does not like staying with other people as I work from home and she is with me 24/7. When I try to leave her with my son or Mother in law she whines and sits at the widow waiting for us. When she stays with Connie she feels content and just sits with Connie and plays with the other dogs. I would recommend Connie to take care of any fur babies. If something was to happen to me I would trust her to take my Luna permanently.”
