“Delane and her home are wonderful. She took great care of my chi-mix and provided a safe environment for my little one and other small dogs. I had full peace of mind during my trip and look forward to more visits to Delane.”
“Kim is amazing and took great care of him. Her daily pictures were the best and Churro looked like he was having a blast everyday there. We’ll definitely have Kim watch him again if she is available for our next trip.😊”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Emily, Hector and Lemon are great! They are so loving and will give your pup all the attention (and you'll get a really detailed updates)! I think our dog spent time better than we did 🙂”
“Maria and Ron are amazing with Millie, always feel so comfortable and happy to leave her with them. They treat her to many walks, cuddles and treats - great communication and picture updates too! Can’t recommend enough, love how much they love our girl!”
“Curtis did a fantastic job boarding our golden doodle. He is very thorough and communicates very well. Our dog was very active during her stay with lots of walks and play time. We received lots of photos and even got report cards. Looking forward to our next stay with Curtis.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“They were truly amazing. More then you could ever ask for for our pup. They probably treated him better than we do!!! They made him part of their family and we are so grateful.”
“Nicole and her family were awesome sitters for our dog Harley. I've concluded she does not like boarding facilities and this was a great fit. Harley enjoyed having a family to spend time with, complete with kids! She also enjoyed playing with Nicole's dog who has a great temperament and would probably get along with any dog. Nicole was easy to communicate with, provided updates/pics and was flexible. Harley received plenty of walks, even did a 5K! I will definitely be using Nicole in the future and will recommend her to others.”
“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”
“Karla and her wonderful family took the best care of our pups. They are extremely responsive, shared frequent photos + updates, and we could tell our girls were getting a lot of love & outdoor fun. We met a few weeks before our trip, and when we returned for drop off our pups sprinted straight to the front door which is always the best sign. Our pups look forward to a future stay with Karla - highly, highly recommend!”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”
“I had a great experience leaving my dog with Kimberly and Casey. They provided daily photos and updates. My dog Callie had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking with them!”
“Tony and his wife were a lifesaver when my mother-in-law unexpectedly passed away and we suddenly had to leave town for over a week. They quickly arranged a meet-and-greet and our dog got along great with Louie. They were patient with our dog when he had trouble adjusting to his new environment and the sudden disappearance of his family. They took him for walks and set pictures and videos to calm our anxieties about leaving him with people who we don’t know. When we returned to pick up our dog, he was happy and healthy, I think he even missed his pal Louie when we took him back home! We are very grateful for Tony and Nicole’s quality pet care.”
“Rachael was so great with my senior pup! She administered his medicine on time daily, and listened to his needs regarding exercise in the heat. Her dog Tiger got along great with my dog, even though Dutch kept trying to take over all of the sleeping places. Rachael was super communicative, she sent lots of pictures, and demonstrated that she had taken the time to read thru and understand all of my pup’s care instructions. I would trust Rachael to watch Dutch again!”
“Kristina was VERY responsive and great with our big old Riley boy. He came home happy and sleepy, like a dog post-vacation should be! We also got a ton of pictures over the weekend of Riley living his best life. Thanks for helping us out, Kristina!”

Emily is fantastic!! She gave our beloved furbaby so much love and attention. And she sent us lots of videos and photos so we could see what he was up to while we were on vacation. She was also flexible with us when we needed to change our dropoff and pickup times. Also her dog Lemon seems very calm and sweet and our dog seemed to get along great with him. Absolutely recommend her for your dog!!

Once again Allie came home happy from her adventures with Moriah and Luke. Although this was a longer than normal stay for Allie, she looked very comfortable and content in the pictures I received from Moriah. I love that I am updated often, which puts my mind at ease while I’m away.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Alex and her family, it was clear they genuinely love dogs. They welcomed our dog, Gilmour, into their home and treated him like a member of their own family, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the booking and stay. We received the perfect balance of check-ins that reassured he was being good and nothing for us to worry about. Alex and her family are incredibly capable, trusting, and have a happy home. Our Gilmour loved the amount of attention and play time he got, he was clearly spoiled! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter. We are so grateful and will absolutely book with them again, if they'll have us!

Carine took exceptional care of my pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She maintained clear and consistent communication throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, it was obvious he had a great tim! He was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Her home is clean, welcoming, and truly a wonderful environment for pets. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Our dog, Zelda, just moved right in and became part of the family for an 11 day stay. Nicole was sharply tuned in to Zelda's moods and needs. She kept us updated with texts and photos. We would have no hesitation having Nicole care for her for any length of time. She is now our go to sitter.
Karla is the best! Our dog stayed with her for two weeks. It was the first time we had someone watch him who wasn't family or friends. We immediately he was in the best caring hands. Karla is a pro and took the excellent care of our dog. We got regular updates that let me know he was having a great time. Karla is a wonderful choice for taking care of your fury family member.
