2. Azure S.

“She did an amazing job! Jett even gave her a kiss prior to us leaving. I was extremely happy with her care for Jett and will be using her again!”


3. Karisa E.

“Karisa was fantastic! Our dog is older (15) and can get a little nervous, so a caring, home environment is what we were looking for. There was such peace of mind leaving our pet with Karisa. She even sent pictures so we could see how cozy Tilly was in their home and she was sent home with a “goodie bag” of homemade doggie treats! We highly recommend!!!”


4. Sharese & James C.
“I had to leave my dog with Sharese without ever having met her and I didn’t regret it for a second! It’s very apparent that she genuinely loves dogs and she treated my guy as her own from the second he got to her home. She’s extremely flexible and friendly. It’s obvious my dog was loved and cared for while I was away ?”

7. Agnatha W.

“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there! Agnatha loves to spoil Violet as well, she snuggles her and lets her on the sofa! I was worried Violet wouldn’t want to come back home with us. It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”


8. Erika H.


“Erika was easy to work with and so flexible. We are an all volunteer animal rescue transport group and had some animals on the road who needed a last minute stay over. She was responsive and totally no problem helping us out with short notice. She took good care of our two travelers - provided updates and pictures. Thank you !!!”

11. Laura U.

“I am so glad I found this app to have met Laura! She was AMAZING from the very beginning. I have never boarded my dog overnight with anyone outside of family and Laura made the process for myself and my Legend boy so easy! I always go off how my boy reacts to people when he meets them and he felt very comfortable with Laura during our first meet up which gave me a peace of mind about the entire process. Laura communication was GREAT she messaged me with any questions and she also shared updates through messages and pictures of my Legend boy throughout his stay! Her response back to me was always done in a timely matter. She was just AWESOME and easy to work with. I will definitely be returning and would recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for a safe, friendly, loving place for their fur babies to stay when in need of a sitter💗.”


12. Greg F.


“It was a great setting for our dog with the large backyard and special room for doggies. This allowed our dog to be able to roam the yard and have comfortable interior surroundings. They also made personal accommodations for our dog. Greg and his wife were courteous and friendly made us feel at ease. We in particular enjoyed the many pictures they sent us of our dog. We give them an A+ rating and will certainly use them again.”


13. Amrutha V.

“Amrutha is so kind, patient, easy going and professional. My dog had a great time at their house and we received lots of pics of our dog smiling and having a great time. I would definitely recommend them!”


14. Joscelyn P.

15. Katelin T.

“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”
