“Krysten was able to take my pup Bowie for the weekend on a days notice, and Bowie had a wonderful time!! Krysten provides updates with pictures and I had no concern about Bowie’s care all weekend. Definitely going to rebook when needed :)”


2. Michelle K.

“I so appreciate how great Michelle and her family was with our fur babies. The pictures she shared and the reassuring texts were so comforting. The « kids » had a wonderful time with her.”


3. Anna E.

“Anna was amazing! This was our first time doing an in home dog boarding and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Anna! She was very quick to respond to my inquiry and quick to communicate. She was very accommodating and I loved that she sent photos during Nova’s stay! She has a beautiful home and a great fenced in backyard. We were also happy to hear that she doesn’t take a lot of pets at once because Nova doesn’t get along well with other dogs and a lot of places won’t take her because of that. We go out of town often so having this option is relieving and we are grateful. Our Nova will definitely be back!”

“They were super kind and approachable. We knew within a couple of minutes of meeting them that our kitties were in good hands. They kept us updated with how things were going and sent many pictures.
