“Kennadi is quick to respond. Our dog was well taken care of and came home tired from his stay. One heads up we'd like to provide anyone looking to book is that there may be up to a few other dogs booked alongside your own.”
“Kristin was very nice and took great care of our dog Marshall while we were out of town for a week. Marshall is a nervous pup and she was very accommodating to us. She even allowed us to bring his kennel as he gets very anxious if kenneled a lot. Marshall seemed very happy when I picked him up. My only critique is that updates were not provided. I requested an update and received one later that day and then nothing the rest of the week.”
“What a wonderful family! They treated our dog like their own and made us feel so comfortable that she was well taken care of while we were gone. We loved all the pictures and videos they shared!”
“Crystal is great with our pup! Roscoe has moderate health issues that do require medications that have changed often throughout the time Crystal has been watching him and she never has any problem accommodating his needs and the ever changing care instructions I give to her. She is great at sending pictures and updates which really helps to put my mind at ease that Roscoe is well taken care of and enjoying himself. He also has anxiety/behavioral issues and saying that Roscoe likes Crystal is a BIG deal (he doesn't like many people in general, very picky). After his first stay with her, I knew we had found the perfect fit and we've continued to book with her ever since (over 2 years now).”
“cassie and ben were absolutely incredible! super down to earth people. helped us out in a pinch while on vacation and wanted a safe spot for our pup to play for a few hours. definitely recommend!”
“Christina took excellent care of my dog. She is obviously someone who adores dogs and anyone contemplating Christina to take care of their dog should not hesitate! She's very good.”
“Audra is fantastic. This was my first tie leaving my dog and I was anxious. Right from the get-go she made me feel comfortable, she was fantastic with him and made him feel like home, she made sure he eat, played and had a healthy dosage of cuddles. She kept me informed at all times and I won’t doubt in leaving my dog with her in the future.”
“Aaron always watches Leo and we are very grateful to have him available for our energetic husky. Leo looks forward to his time with Aaron and definitely knows exactly where he is going when we say his name. Leo is picky with dog friends and seems to get along with Aaron’s pack. Thank you Aaron!!!!”
“Brianna is a great caretaker and took excellent care of both my boys. She was flexible with the meet and greet and pickup and drop offs. Was very prompt with communications and in giving updates. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to board their dog in safe and caring hands.”
“Kelsey was great with out 13 year old Golden. She communicated regularly, asked clarifying questions and did a fabulous job making us feel comfortable leaving Tucker with her for 10 days. Highly recommend Kelsey, we'll book again next time we have a need! Thanks Kelsey.”
“Jennifer and her husband were fabulous! I received updates and pictures daily which I loved! They had a very nice home and wonderful backyard for my pup to roam. Will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Sammy was in great hands here again! We took a longer time away this time and didn’t worry once that he wasn’t well cared for! Dana is very responsive and sent pictures and video. Will use Dana again and again!”
“Terri did an amazing job watching my pup overnight. She sent updates with photos periodically throughout the stay. I will definitely be contacting her again for future dog sitting!”
“Julie was great! She sent lots of feedback and pics on how my dog, Reba, was doing while she stayed at Julie's home. I think Reba quickly felt at ease. I've already booked another visit for Reba to stay at Julie's home.”
“Rhiannon and Rachel were great! They took amazing care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely take Shiloh back to them again!”
“Sara was great! Loved the pictures, my girls enjoyed getting to use her doggie door, and they almost didn’t want to leave! We’ll be going back to Sara’s again for sure!! Thank you Sara!”
