1. Pamela F.
“"The angelic dog whisperer." Angela is just one of a kind. She reads dogs easier than some people read their own minds. My Chase loved her so much that he regretted coming home to what I thought was a good home. Pamela's place and care is well beyond good. It's doggie nirvana. I'm looking forward to creating a short trip so I can send him back and see his anticipation when I roll up to her house.”
2. Victoria P.
“Victoria boarded my cat Mucho for the weekend and was very sweet! My cat is very energetic and needs a lot of attention, so drop in visits often aren't enough for him. I could tell she took good care of him, he was very relaxed when I got him back. She was also super flexible when my plans kept changing because of work and traffic. I definitely recommend her and would board Mucho with her again ?”

“Denise was lovely! We are so glad we chose to leave our dog, Perry, with her for the week while we were away. She sent pictures and updates daily, and I felt that she really got to know him while we weren't there. Perry came home so happy and had the best time with Denise and her family. We can't thank her enough for taking such good care of our little guy, and we'll definitely be using her going forward. She's fabulous!!!! Thanks Denise!!!”

“I recently had a wonderful experience with Helen. From the very beginning, communication was excellent—updates and photos were shared regularly, which really put my mind at ease. They treated my dog like family, showering her with love and attention. It was clear that they genuinely cared about her well-being. When I returned, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
14. Karen V.
“Karen is an absolute lifesaver…3 days before my destination wedding I had nobody to watch Candy. She drove in a rain storm to meet us and chat before booking and she made me feel so comfortable right away. I was actually able to relax at my wedding knowing she was in good hands and it felt like I had just left her with a family member instead of a stranger for the weekend. Highly recommend and will absolutely rebook her!”

Staying with Lorena has probably boosted Murray’s confidence. He gets a little vacation and learns that I’ll return to get him. I also appreciate the photos that Lorena sends me.”
