“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”


“Angie was great! She kept me updated, made my dog feel comfortable and adjusted well to any last minute modifications. Very appreciative of her understanding with things. ??”


“Aisha was great with my two dogs, who liked her on sight! She communicated and sent photos and I could tell, when I picked them up, that they'd been safe and happy.”


“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”


“Amy was awesome!! My dogs enjoyed her family so much. All the basics were met as indicated in daily pictures. But in addition my pups were showered with love and attention from the minute they arrived to the minute we left. Taz and Darby got along great with Amy’s dog Mayzie and now they have a new friend. I will definitely book with Amy again. The care she gave my pups put me at ease while on vacation!👍”


“Mary was wonderful! She was super communicative and sent photos of our dogs throughout the time that we were gone. They went on lots of walks we knew our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our Macie had an absolute blast with Novelette. Not only did they provide animated commentaries on our pup's day, which we loved reading, but they also spent countless hours throwing the ball back and forth. It was clear that our dog was not only well cared for but also thoroughly entertained and engaged. Novelette went above and beyond to ensure our furry friend had a fantastic time. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and fun-loving dog sitter.”


“Glorymar was great with my doggo! He can be timid at times, but he fit right in with her family and her own pup, he almost didn’t want to leave after a week here! When I’m on the road for work again, I’ll definitely be booking with her. ?”


“Excellent care, as always! Megan is awesome - walkies, play time, potty break, nappies and bedtime - Jackson seems to love to stay with Megan and her other fur babies. I won’t trust my dog to anyone but Megan.”



“As always, very satisfied with Steve. Stella is too. She loves having friends to play with and the friendly environment. We have already booked two more stays. One for 4 days and another for a week this summer. ”


“Hannah was great! Walter had the best time playing with Wolf and even got to go on a trip to play with other dogs! The big fences in back yard was amazing and I loved getting pics of him throughout.”


“Yvette was flexible , sent updates and my pups came back healthy and happy . She had a nice yard for the dogs and was very accommodating. Thank you Yvette.”


“10 out of 10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ‼️‼️‼️‼️ Use Allison to watch your fur babies! You will not regret it. I had an unfortunate situation and she came through and my dog-ter had a great time. It brings a different type of peace to an individual when you know your fur animal is loved and well taken care of. We will see you in the near future 🤎”


“We were very pleased with the boarding services received from Ana. Biscuit is usually a little skeptical of new people at first, but was comfortable with Ana from the very beginning. We look forward to boarding with Ana again in the future.”


“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you- to Lindsay for taking such great care of our puppy. She treated our Louie Belle like she was her own dog. Lots of running in her big fenced in yard. Lindsay even let Louie Belle stretch out and sleep on her bed! Definitely a 5 star stay with Lindsay!”


“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for our dog Steve! During our pup’s 10-day stay, Caitlin provided picture and video updates to help us know he was safe and happy. When we picked him up, Steve was so relaxed and happy (way more so than when we used to keep him at the kennel). It was clear that Caitlin truly cared about making sure Steve's stay was comfortable and close to his normal routine. Her young kids were so gentle and kind with the dog, and we never had any concerns. I definitely recommend Caitlin!”


“Vassu and her family took great care of our dog Cera! She sent me pictures and videos each day along with texts letting me know how she was doing. I felt very reassured that Cera was with a family who would take great care of her!”


“I'm grateful for Russ and Janet's flexibility. Due to personal dynamics I need to change some pickup dates around and they were most accomodating.”


“Outstanding dog service. Sent pics throughout our vacation. Left us no worries our Tommy was in good hands. Thank you so much Kim. Sincerely Al & Michelle”


“Kathy did a great job watching and caring for my dog! She sent pictures and was great at communicating how my dog was doing while I was gone. Will definitely be using her again!!”
