“Marna was awesome and our dog loved her visit.”
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Kelly was the perfect sitter for our Winnie! Winnie stayed with Kelly for 2 days and 1 night. Kelly and Winnie bonded immediately and she was totally comfortable in the home. Lots of walks, play time and snuggles! Kelly sent us many photos and catered to Winnie's every need. She will definitely be staying with Kelly again in the future! Highly recommended!”
“This is our first time leaving our puppy with anyone especially for multiple days. Cindy was really responsive and flexible as we figured out our plans. Kuma had some playmates while he stayed and came home tuckered out. I loved the vidoes and the photos she sent to us, letting us know he is outside getting exercise and having lots of fun! I am glad to have found Cindy for Kuma and the family!”
“Sarah and Dylan were both very accommodating with drop off and pick up. It made it easy for my husband and I to plan our trip to Boston for NYE and to know that Pika was taken care of. Easy communication and got an update with a couple of pictures to see how Pika was doing. Thank you again Sarah and Dylan! Will definitely bring Pika over next time!”
“I worry about leaving my dog with anyone but Marley felt right at home almost immediately which made me feel at ease. I HIGHLY recommended Victoria, couldn’t have asked for better.”
“Claudia and Jason were fantastic. They sent plenty of photos and took great care of our senior pup. Would definitely recommend them to other owners!”
“We are always so appreciative to have Molly and her partner Ricky watching chexmix. They are flexible, responsive, and take great care of our pup!”
“Mariah, Kyle and family took good care of our 10 yr. old Portuguese Water Dog during our week long family vacation. They treated him like he was part of the family and he enjoyed being around their dog and another one they were also boarding. Having a fenced in yard was perfect for playing and getting exercise. They were easy to communicate with and wonderful about giving regular updates and sending photos.”
“Viva was communicative and very accommodating of my puppy, and went the extra mile on short notice! I will 100% be rebooking with her, if you are looking for a sitter in the area look no further.”
“Sheryl was great! They made Oats feel right at home :)”
“Hemi is NEVER more excited then when we are pulling into Amanda's driveway! Amanda and her family are so sweet and I can tell that Hemi is treated with just as much love as her own.”
“Welcoming and safe environment, grateful my dog got exercise, played with the kids, and was treated like one of the family. Appreciate this very much”
“Rose is an incredible sitter! Poppy was with her for a weekend and was so well cared for— we received so many pictures and constant communication which was amazing! Book with Rose!”
“Rachael was amazing with Maizy. Maizy vacationed with her for 8 nights. As promised, we received many pictures and updates daily. She was in tuned to how our girl was feeling and we could see the happiness on Maizy’s face in the pics. Rachel reached out with food questions when needed. We seriously could not have asked for a better vacation for our Maizy girl! Highly recommend Rachael! Hopr the secret doesn’t spread too fast so we can book Rachael again!”
“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”
“Christina was so great with our dog! Quick Responses leading up to the time she had our dog and She sent us many updates though out the time she had our dog. She made sure to keep her busy with many adventures while we were away. We are excited to have our pup stay with Christina again when we are away!”
“Natalie took great care of Fletcher! We were nervous to leave him for longer than we had before, but Natalie sent plenty of updates and pictures, and fletcher came home happy and tired ?”
“Heidi is wonderful! We're so grateful to have found such a friendly, safe, and reliable place to bring our anxious Heeler when we go out of town. Thank you Heidi, for everything you do!”
“Luna’s new home away from home! She was so well cared for, it made it easier to be away. Jennifer was great about sending photos of all of their adventures, and keeping me updated. Luna can’t wait to go back 😊”
