5. Jessica C.

“Jessica has excellent communication and knows dogs really well. She’s quick to reply to messages and provided regular photo/video updates. She understands dogs’ behavior and how to identify cues that they’re nervous, hungry, excited, etc and adapt. My husky had a blast playing with her husky and felt confident that he was in good hands. I’d book with Jessica again. Highly recommend!”

9. Nikolai D.

“Flexible, responsive, prompt in coordination. Brandy got spoiled with all the love and attention. It was a truly a staycation for her with playing in the park and taking over the house. He offered to send me updates and pics at drop off. Thank you Nikolai. We look forward to future trips because I know Brandy will be happy.”

12. Lovina A.

“I’m so thankful for Lovina! I had peace of mind knowing my fur babies were well taken care of. When dropping them off they went happily to Lovina, that was comforting to see and know my babies felt comfortable. Throughout their stay I received daily updates and photos. And Lucky her dog excepted bubs and Rocks right away, they got along well. Lucky seems to help them be a part of “the pack”. Highly unusual for Bubs. That helped me to enjoy my time away. Pick up time went great, my babies trotted happily to my car, happily greeted me and got in. When I’ve had them stay with family/friends they come home not happy and want nothing to do with me from a couple days. But Lovina has changed all of that for us! Thank you Lovina! Until next time”


13. Madelynne N.

“Madelynne and her partner were great pup sitters for our girl. I felt very relaxed about my dogs care while I was away. I received daily photos/videos and good communication the whole time. Will definitely book with her again.”


14. Dianna L.
“I just got my pup back from his weeklong. Stay with Diana and her family. He is so happy to have spent time with her two dogs and children. I will definitely be a return customer. Your animal and Diana‘s care will receive love and cuddles and play. She’s awesome at updating you with how your baby is doing. I had total peace of mind, knowing that my dog was in such good hands.”


15. Kaylee M.

“Kaylee was amazing! Simba is a senior dog and she made sure he was comfortable the whole duration of his stay, and gave updates every day. I could tell Simba was loved and really enjoyed himself. I would definitely book her again.”


16. Diana H.

“Diana was AWESOME!! Fantastic communication from initial inquiry, meet-up, drop-off and throughout our trip. Kept us updated with messages and pictures every day. Her home was great with lots of space indoors and out. Fenced yard and air conditioning inside were both BIG pluses! Our corgi was well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
