Five stars! Richard and Cheryl were absolutely wonderful with my Westie, Annie. They are true dog lovers and took excellent care of her while I was away. I received photos and videos every day, which reassured me that Annie was happy, safe, and having so much fun. It was obvious she received plenty of attention, love, and care throughout her stay. Knowing Annie was in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. In fact, before Annie’s stay was even over, I was already giving Richard and Cheryl future dates to care for her again. That’s how confident I felt in the care they provided. I highly recommend Richard and Cheryl and will gladly book with them again!

Such a lovely family. Cookie really seemed to enjoy his stay. I received several photos and videos and I loved seeing Cookie interacting with the other dogs and having a great time.

Mr and Mrs S are very good with the dogs. They have a great big yard and Moe loved Mr. S so much. They took excellent care of Moe.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Honey. From the start, communication was great, and it was clear how much they genuinely care about dogs. Honey was well-cared for, happy, and relaxed when we picked her up. The updates and photos were such a nice touch and gave us total peace of mind. We would trust them with Honey again in a heartbeat!
