1. Wanda R.
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
2. Anthony C.
“Anthony is amazing. He was able to accommodate Piper last minute during a holiday weekend and then, when we were in a jam, offered to take care of her for a week while we were out of town and has become our savior! He is incredible reliable, such an enthusiastic animal lover, and each trip Piper has returned home happy and spent. We cannot thank Anthony enough for his flexibility and easy-going attitude. He takes great care of Piper and keeps us informed of her adventures constantly. He is patient and kind with her and she is always excited to see him and sad to say goodbye. Thank you Anthony!”
3. Alec & Damien P.
“They provided excellent care, and sent plenty of photos/updates of my special needs dog while I was away on an extended trip. They were also very accommodating when I needed to extend my trip due to a delay. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“Dave did a great job taking care of my two dogs. It was their first time boarding not at a kennel and unlike when they come home from the kennel they were happy and unstressed. You can tell that Dave has a real love of dogs!”

7. Dana R.
“Dana did a great job with our large and energetic dog on very short notice! Highly responsive and knows how to deal with the little things that come up during dog-care. (Our leash snapped during our dog's stay, and he was able to weld it back together!) Will definitely be back.”
8. Anna W.
“Anna boarded our cat for over a week. She was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She treated our cat as if he were her own and we felt peace of mind while he was in her care. She administered his medication three times daily and let us know each time she did. Her photos and videos were so cute and very high quality. We can tell our cat was happy and loved. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely hire her again the next time we need boarding! Don’t hesitate to book with her 🐾”

14. Tyler S.
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
15. Ashley S.
“Ashley watched our 11 week old puppy, Squibby, for a weekend and we could not have wished for a better experience! It was our first time leaving him so we were nervous but Ashley’s constant communication and Squibby’s play time with her two dogs were greatly appreciated. He had a great time and can’t wait to go back! TY Ashley!!”
16. Delayni S.
“We love Delayni. She has taken care of our dog about three or four different times now. Each time our pup is happy to greet her and we know she is in great care. Delayni sends photos and videos while we are away and it is always appreciated. Delayni is also very flexible with pick up and drop off times.”
17. Steven R.
“Steven was great with our dog. We boarded her with him for a long weekend She is a nervous girl and often barks at new people. When I dropped her off he took her leash and her treats and immediately got her to sit and calm down. During her stay with Steven he sent us photos, which I appreciate. When I picked her up she was in good spirits and wagging her tail which is always a good sign. We will definitely be using Steven's services again.”
