As a Veteran, my service dog means the world to me. I rarely leave him with anyone, so I am extremely cautious about who I trust to care for him. First impressions matter a lot to me, and from the very beginning, Ken and Irene answered countless questions and immediately made me feel comfortable. When we met in person, I knew right away they were the perfect people to watch my best friend. Throughout his stay, they kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. It was obvious that Kawhi was safe, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. After five years together, spending virtually every day by his side, I know my dog better than anyone. When I picked him up, I could tell he had been calm, relaxed, loved, and exceptionally well cared for during his time with them. I highly recommend Ken and Irene to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet care. I would not hesitate to leave Kawhi with them again, and that is one of the highest compliments I can give.

Ken and Irene are my go to dog sitters. They really know how to make Baz feel at home. They send me daily updates with pictures to let me know that he is good. They treat Baz like he is their own. Baz had a seizure while there and they called me right away to let me know and ask if i want them to take him to the vet. They knew what was happening as they had previous experience with this. They are very knowledgeable and was willing to go the extra mile for Baz. I wont be looking anywhere else other than Ken and Irene.

Dog review We had a great experience with this dog sitter. The dogs have a wonderful outdoor space and are free to roam—no crates—which made us feel our dog was comfortable and at home. Their own dogs provide great company and playtime, and we loved getting daily photos showing how happy our dogs were. Highly recommend!

Our Goldendoodle Sophie just had her first stay with Ken and Irene. They took such good care of her. Every day I got updates of pictures and messages letting me know how she was doing. I already booked Sophie with Ken and Irene for another stay. I would recommend them for anyone that is going away and wants a home where they know their dog will be watched, loved, cared for and pampered.
