“So grateful to Tamara for watching my pup on very short notice (I went into labor three weeks early) and as always Kai had a great stay! It made our lives easier knowing he was in good hands, and we appreciate that she also provided transportation for him home.”


“Alexsys and her family took great care of my Joey when I got a last minute invitation to take a trip. I appreciate that she was available at the last minute when my usual boarding facility was completely booked. She sent me texts everyday and also sent pictures. If I had any questions, she got right back to me. I really appreciated all of that. Thank you, Alexsys!”



“Katherine was absolutely FANTASTIC with my two large dogs! Her home is perfect for dogs of all sizes, and there’s always plenty of friends for your pups to play with. She was incredibly welcoming and treated Max and Zeus like they were her own. I highly, highly recommend choosing Katherine for your doggo watching needs!”



“Ash loved going to Kristen’s! We don’t have a huge yard for him and he loves to run so her house is great! He came home super tired after his weekend of fun. Ash will be going back!”


“Barbara was wonderful & took great care of Ruby!! She kept us updated with photos, videos & messages .. very appreciated. She also enjoyed playing with Dobby .. and came home a happy pup. We look forward to more happy stays with Barbara, Dobby & fam. Tnk you! :)”


“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”


“Thanks to the most amazing experience a dog and her family could ever have ! Erin sent pictures and updates daily with big smiles. Fergie had books read to her every night ! I would highly recommend her services over and over again and plan to continue the relationship. For my first sexy, we are over the moon happy .”


“Walter and his wife were an absolute delight. The took excellent care of my senior Shih Tzu, Evie, over the holiday weekend. The moment I pulled up to their home I felt completely at ease. Their children were excellent with Evie and they had a beautiful and secure yard for Evie to enjoy. They were excellent at communicating and responding to messages. I truly appreciated that throughout the weekend they sent messages and photos to let us know Evie was doing well. Honestly, it was a huge relief to know that Evie was in excellent and capable hands. I highly recommend Walter and his family to anyone looking for someone to watch over their pet.”


“I was looking for a place to board Sake that was a mid-point between my home to Bryce Mountain to go skiing. I found Maki who was on the way to the slopes. She was very accommodating when I forgot the dry food (Mom Brain), but luckily I brought enough wet food for Sake's meals. I appreciate they were very patient with Sake trying to sleep in her crate at night while I am attempting to crate train her. I was worried she might be howling most of the night, but surprisingly, Sake ended up napping inside her crate after we got home today. This is a new behavior for Sake which I am so happy to see!!!! This is a good sign that she is dreaming of all the fun walks and attention she got from Maki and her family. She shared photos and informed me on all of her walks, her desire to chase a squirrel, and when she peed, pooped, finished her meals, got several belly rubs and chilled at the house. I highly recommend you go to Maki whenever you need boarding. She is conveniently located on the way to the slopes. Upon pick up, her son was kind to carry the crate out to my car and place it in my trunk. I noticed that Sake's belongings were neatly folded, cleaned and organized inside the overnight bag. Sake will definitely return when I need to go back to the mountains for the weekend or day when I am not able to bring her with me. Thank you for taking good care of her. When I see Sake sleeping well after her visit from boarding, that is a positive sign that she had an awesome time with the family.”



“We highly recommend Chris and plan on using him again for years to come. This was the first time our 2 year old shih tzu had been away from home but Pepper felt immediately at home. We got daily pictures and Pepper went on lots of fun walks in different parks. Chris had also made a window perch for Pepper so he could also look out the window. Chris works from home and only takes one dog at a time so Pepper had lots of attention. Chris was responsive to our questions and followed our instructions.”


“Josh and Kristen are absolutely awesome. They truly cared about Lulu and took great care of her. They sent me so many pictures, with updates....even videos. They treated Lulu just like she was part of their beautiful family. I am actually utilizing them again later this month. Wonderful, caring people.💪💪❤️❤️”


“Lori was amazing with our fearful German Shepherd Fiona. this was our first time booking with Lori and she took pictures every day we were gone and gave us updates. It made us feel so much better. When we brought Fiona home she was so much happier than she has been leaving her with other people or a kennel. So grateful for Lori and her husband and we will definitely be using her again.”


“Sarah could not be more amazing from start to finish! Her passion, care and consideration for animals truly shows. I appreciate the detailed updates, fast replies and constant communication and responsiveness. I would recommend Sarah for all your pet care needs!”


“Janelle & Joel are absolutely fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad I chose them. They sent pics of my pup having the time of his life! Nothing better than having the peace of mind when leaving your fur baby for a weekend! Thanks you two! Will gladly be a returning client!”


“Shaghayegh is so kind and an amazing dogsitter. She and her husband take such good care of Lilli that I NEVER worry at all. She sends cute pictures of Lilli having fun and is an excellent communicator. We have used Shaghayegh many times now, and will definitely continue!”


“Gelato had a wonderful time with Eun Ha S. and family. Eun went above and beyond every day to provide top notch care for our pup. We will definitely board Gelato with her again.”


“Henry had such a wonderful time with Linda and really enjoyed his time there. Linda was so nice to send us updates throughout the day and pictures. We are so happy to have Linda so close to where we moved and I know Henry is too!”


“Kelly was amazing with Crash. She and her family had Crash for a full month... and he was clearly a happy Dog. When he is stressed he loses hair on his side, that did not happen!!! And his first night/day home, We think he was depressed b/c he missed Kelly and her Family.. She Truly kept us informed, sent pictures and was just such a peace in our hearts to have Crash so happy. We will use Kelly again!!”
