“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”


“Nadège was amazing! Her home was a lovely spot to leave our Minnie for a couple days. Nadège was so welcoming and kind and we could not have asked for a better person to watch Minnie. If you want a sitter who will allow your dog to roam and get comfortable, who will give them lots of love and attention, and who will keep you updated with photos and kind words about your dog, then book Nadège! She is the best and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”


“Colin was a great choice. He provided regular updates and photos throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog can be a handful at times, but he handled her energetic personality with ease. She came back calm and happy, so we know she had a great experience with him. We definitely plan to book with him again!”


“Carmen was wonderful with my little princess. She took great care of her and I feel like she listened to me and was very good at communication with me while she was taking care of Uma. Thank you Carmen”


“Renata thank you for taking such wonderful care of our two dogs! We so appreciate receiving your feedback and photos during their stay! Thank you for being so attentive and loving to our senior dogs who take medication and sometimes need a little encouragement to eat when we’re away. We look forward to having our dogs visit again!”


“Angela was amazing. She went the extra mile and Leo loved staying with her. Will definitely book again if the opportunity presents itself. Thanks again for everything.”


“Melissa and Christopher took great care of our pup while we were out of the country. Kaja loved their space and fenced-in yard. Melissa and Christopher were communicative, friendly, and accommodating, and we appreciated the photos and videos that they sent us daily.”


“Ryan was great! He accommodated a last minute need when my sitter fell through and he was wonderful. Kept me updated and very responsive when I reached out. Finn came back to me happy as ever - will absolutely be booking Ryan again!”


“April and her husband are amazing! Great communication and I received quality pictures and videos! The updates made me feel at ease. I could see that Mei Mei was enjoying herself and learned that she’s a natural guard for babies?! I appreciated the attentiveness and care they gave to her. Thank you for being flexible and patient with me as I adjusted the drop off time and ended up experiencing a delay en route. 🙏🏽 I would definitely book again and have peace of mind knowing she was well taken cared of. Good energy and dog lovers for sure. Definitely worth 🐾 - pawsing and considering. 😆 Thank you again! 🌼”
