Simba had a lovely “spa day” with Tammy! As always, it’s such a great feeling to have the security and trust with folks like Ben and Tammy. Simba agrees, as he couldnt contain his excitement as he arrived at their house. Thank you as always for being trustworthy, reliable and so loving toward Simba.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ben and Tammy - Wonderful Care Ben and Tammy were fantastic with my labradoodle! They clearly paid attention to all his quirks and needs - from making sure he had his little shoes on for hot pavement walks to indulging his obsession with oversized stuffed animals (which they seemed to find as amusing as I do). The photo updates throughout our trip were perfect. You could tell they genuinely enjoyed spending time with him and weren't just going through the motions. Every picture showed a happy, relaxed dog who was clearly comfortable in their care. What impressed me most was how they treated him like he was their own. They kept up with his daily walks, and even seemed to understand his calm, gentle personality. He came home tired but content - always a good sign! Communication was great, and it was obvious they truly cared about giving him the best experience possible. I'll definitely be booking with Ben and Tammy again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their dog.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As many of us know, it’s a nerve racking ordeal trying to find a sitter/boarder for your pup, as there are so many factors that play into these types of decisions. We (and Simba) couldn’t be more pleased with our experience! Tammy and Ben quite simply “get it” and that was apparent from the moment Simba met them for a meet and greet. Finding a sitter for Simba who had experience with bigger working dog breeds was very reassuring. Thank you again, we, along with Simba, look forward to seeing you again for his next stay!

Ben & Tammy took exceptional care of our yellow lab Nova. They kept us posted about what she was up to with texts, photos and video. Unfortunately they no longer have a pool which Nova Loved the first time she stayed with them a few years ago! We have checked Ben & Tammy's availability every time we go to Palm Desert around the holidays. We highly recommend them for any dog sitting and wish they lived closer to us in Colorado!
