“Sunny had a great stay and felt like part of the family. Christine was very flexible with drop off and pick up and provided good communication.”


“Luciana is fantastic! We've been a few times now, and my pup is always sad to leave her at pickup, which is a good sign. He is a picky eater with a food allergy and she always patiently ensures he eats well while there. So glad to have found her here!”


“Nelly has a convenient and cute apartment more than half dedicated to the furry friends she takes of and clearly adores. Every day for 8 days she sent me 1-2 photos/videos on walks, playing, resting, even giving flea/tick meds. She is lovely, quick to respond on text, very communicative about where she’ll be throughout the day, conscientious and responsible. Highly recommend.”


“Chris is amazing! Always communicating, took great care of my senior special needs Pug. I would trust him with any animal he has a real way of handling these animals well. She came back happy and loved.”


“Nina continues to be awesome!! She let us know day by day how Winston was doing and anything she noticed. She takes such good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her!!”


“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”


“Excellent caretaker! This is my first time using this app, and I honestly think I struck gold with this caretaker! He took great care of my puppy foster. Not only did he take great care of my puppy, but communication with him was never difficult! He would send me updates throughout the day and promptly reply to my questions! After leaving my puppy behind for half a day, I had great peace of mind. I plan to use Evan and highly recommend him for future pet boarding needs. ☺️”


“Laurie and Richard were amazing with my older little pup with anxiety. She loved her stay with them and they catered to her needs so well. The communication and updates were wonderful!”


“Katie took such great care of my very high energy and anxious dog! She took him to the park all the time and sent frequent updates. Will definitely book again!”

“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”


“We could not have had a better experience with Ashton! She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating as we planned a pre-boarding meet and greet and coordinated pick up and drop off times for the weekend. Wilson had a built in friend with her dog, Rui, and he came home happy and tuckered out! We’ll absolutely be using Ashton’s services again. Thank you so much, Ashton!”


“Alyce took great care of our Henry and he really enjoyed himself while we were out of town. She was patient and kind with him, allowing him to break out of his shell at his own pace. We would definitely recommend Alyce and her sweet family & felt at peace and confident in her care. I know he also really enjoyed his time in her backyard.”


“Alli and her family took great care of Mr. Darcy! He’s typically a nervous pup, but he felt comfortable right away. Alli was great about sending pictures and updates as well, which I appreciated. I highly recommend her and will continue to book with her in the future!”


“Great sitter! Communication was smooth and he was accommodating. My dog Harvey was in great spirits from the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up. Thanks for everything!”

Thank you for taking such great care of our little Mango! 🐾 She gave us photos and even a video throughout Mango’s stay, keeping us updated, asking us thoughtful questions and Mango looked so happy 🥰 She was responsive to texts back & forth and was a great communicator.
