They were the absolute best! I could not be happier that I chose them to look after my 5 month puppy, Nero. They are a great, friendly couple who kept me updated with photos and shared fun moments they had with Nero. From the moment I met them, I knew that Nero was going to be in good hands and felt very comfortable leaving him. They will always be my first choice whenever I need to board Nero.

It is stress-free for me whenever Candy is with Derek because he takes excellent care of her. He consistently ensures her well-being and keeps me updated with regular pictures, which gives me peace of mind and confidence that she is happy and comfortable.Derek is reliable, caring, and attentive to Candy’s needs. His dedication and genuine affection for her are evident in the way he looks after her. I truly appreciate the constant communication and the reassurance he provides through updates and photos.I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their pet. Knowing Candy is in his care allows me to relax without any worries. Thank you, Derek, for always taking such great care of her!

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Pancakes and waffles! You were amazing throughout the entire stay—very responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We really appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease knowing our pet was in such caring hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with you again. Highly recommend!
