Brian and Rita are very knowledgeable of pets and we have always had great boarding for our do, who has separation anxiety. Not so when she stays with them, she is excited to see them and Rita always sends such great photos. Truly a blessing for us and Winnie👏😉

This is our second time boarding with Rita & Brian. It is clear to me that they truly love dogs! They provide lots of enrichment activities, endless photos, and a written summary each day. They took the dogs on walks both in the AM & the PM, going to different community parks, the dog park, and on walking trails. Our dog usually tries to pull away when we arrive at a dog sitter's home, but this time we could see that she was happy to be there, confidently walking to their door. We will definitely reach out to Rita & Brian when we need dog boarding again!

We cannot recommend Rita and Brian highly enough. We were away for two weeks — a long time to be apart from our girl, Keva — and they made it so much easier knowing she was in such caring, capable hands. From the start, it was clear they genuinely love what they do. They had everything Keva needed: dog beds, crates, even a harness for walks. They followed our care instructions carefully and gave her daily exercise without us having to ask twice. But what really stood out was the communication — we received daily updates packed with the most adorable photos. Seeing Keva happy and comfortable every day was such a gift. She came home healthy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. That says everything. If you're looking for sitters who will treat your pet like family, Rita and Brian are the ones.
