“Venus and Keaton were AMAZING! Monte is a 5 month old puppy, so he has a lot of energy, but they took great care of him for the week. Every time we walked up to the door, Monte's tail would not stop wagging. They really made Monte feel at home!”
“My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.”
“Yuliia is Haku’s favorite sitter for many reasons. She is so sweet and communicative which I really appreciate. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends throughout the day while I’m at work!

“Dez and wife were great. I felt really good after the initial meet n greet. When I went to drop of Frankie, I felt at ease when Frankie immediately started to pull towards Dezmond's house and happily went with him when I handed him the leash. Frankie has severe separation anxiety, but when we got to Dezmond's Frankie could not care less that I was leaving! It felt good to see how happy and comfortable Frankie was to be there. Dezmond was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the day. Frankie had a great time during his stay, loved playing with Dezmond's dogs and didn't want to leave! He left a tired, happy boy. I would recommend Dezmond and his wife again and also look forward to having Frankie have future visits with them too!”
