Jubilee has watched our pup twice now and is always responsive, provides updates and pictures multiple times a day, attentive to our dog, and flexible. Its always nice knowing that our dog is in good hands when we are out of town.

Jubilee was awesome very thoughtful great yard that the doggies enjoyed.

Jubilee took fantastic care of my three dogs (one of which is a senior dog who requires extra care) and provided plenty of photos and updates. She was clearly attentive to them and even contacted us about a few quirks just to ensure it was normal behavior. Her dog, Mick, got along well with mine and her house/yard setup is great! I highly recommended Jubilee!

Jubilee took such great care of Hardy! I highly recommend her to take care of your dog. I will definitely be using her services again. My dog had a wonderful time and was exhausted from all the playing with her dog, Mick, and going on walks.

My pup absolutely loved staying with Jubilee and her dog, Mick. She has a huge yard that the dogs run around in all day and tire each other out, and I loved knowing that Tux got plenty of snuggles in the evening. Jubilee was also super easy to communicate with and sent me lots of pics to let me know my boy was happy. I will definitely be contacting Jubilee any time I need someone to watch my pup!

We could not possibly express in words the depth of our appreciation and gratitude for Jubilee and the care she provided for our three "monsters" while we were out of town. We have three rescue dogs, each with individual issues, all of whom we fret over and worry about any time they are not in our care. Gooby, our little Silky, has severe - potentially fatal - heart and lung difficulties which require not only constant monitoring, but also timed medicine dispensation throughout the entirety of every day. Sassy, our little Jack Russell, is a happyhappy girl at home, but is terrified of unknown people, other dogs, and unfamiliar places. And Bear, our notsmall Ridgeback/Chow, is fiercely protective of us, of women, and of his "monster siblings". Only a courageous and committed boarder would even consider accepting the charge of our monsters over the course of a four day absence. Jubilee took on that challenge. We much appreciated not only that Jubilee would not consent to board our monsters without first meeting them at her home, but also that during this introductory meet-and-greet Jubilee asked pertinent and essential questions regarding the care she would providing including such details as the most effective means to persuade Gooby to swallow his pills; whether any of the dogs were fence-jumpers or runners; whether they have a set daily schedule; and how they typically interact with one another. These questions indicated to us - helped to assure us - that Jubilee would not be performing only the minimal functions of feeding and walking our monsters, she would also be paying attention to them, she would be observing and caring for them - ensuring they adhere to their routines - almost as closely and lovingly as we do. Jubilee's monster is Mick, a two-year-old bundle of friendly energy who is ecstatic to have playmates, not possessive of his many toys, and who is quick to read the dispositions of his guests. Mick and Bear pretty much immediately began to wrestle and play - much to Bear's joy - but Mick also quickly intuited Sassy's timidity and let her be. Jubilee and Mick have an absolutely enormous, fenced, grassy and very well-kept front yard. The fence is low, and would not prevent a larger dog inclined to escape from jumping it, but the house's front door and a large window look out upon the yard, and Jubilee NEVER allows Mick (or his guests) in the yard without supervision. As our yard is small and cramped (and, uh, weedy) having this glorious greenspace was a treat for our monsters, who much enjoyed it's expanse when we were away. We left our monsters with Jubilee and headed for DIA feeling a range of emotions including guilt, fear, sadness and pity for them. But before we had even boarded our plane, we received a photo from Jubilee showing all three of our monsters curled up in various places in the house looking perfectly contented, as if they had lived there for weeks. Next came a photo of our standoffish Sassy, sitting on Jubilee's lap and smiling her happy Sassy smile (??!!!!!) as Jubilee attempted to work on her computer. We were astonished. We had never seen Sassy warm to anyone so quickly before. We were also enormously relieved. Our guilt and sorrow and fear and pity dissipated. With each picture, we felt more and more comfortable and by our second day away we realized that not only were we on vacation, enjoying fresh landscapes and meeting new friends, but so, too, were our monsters! Jubilee, who now seems to us like a doggy angel, even sent a video of the seemingly impossible - her daily walk of all four dogs - despite the fact that Sass pulls as if a squirrel were under her nose, and Gooby drags to ensure that no square inch has been left unpeed, and Bear alternates between the two (and Mick was part of this motley crew, too) -how did Jubilee manage? But there they all were, trotting happily down the sidewalk. We were also reassured by the questions Jubilee texted. She did NOT text to ask us silly or irrelevant things like whether Gooby's warts might be contagious to humans (really? we're on vacation! look that shit up if you're seriously worried about it!) but when she needed to know something important, like when Goob last had his eight hour pill - questions we asked Jubilee to ask, about pertinent things we may have forgotten - she didn't worry herself with appearing to be uninformed, she sought the information she needed, and didn't guess when guessing could be harmful. When we returned, though our monsters were elated to see us, the sort of stressed franticness they sometimes display upon our return was entirely absent. It was beyond obvious that they had been comfortable, lighthearted and completely relaxed with Jubilee and Mick. We know that next time we must leave our most precious Sassy, Gooby and Bear behind for several days, that when we take them to Mick and Jubilee's house they will NOT tremble in fear and trepidation, they will NOT cast upon us the downward sad eyes that compel us to wish we could cancel our trip, and which stay with us, haunting our travels, but that they will greet their newfound friends joyfully, with tails briskly wagging (even Sass!) and eyes brightly sparkling because, thanks to Jubilee, they are now on vacation, too!
