1. Sam L.
“Sam was a great fit for our dog, Shiloh. He was appropriately responsive throughout her stay with him sending an update once per day- it felt like enough communication but not too much communication which allowed us to focus on our vacation. Sam is obviously a dog enthusiast! His dog Happy was a great playmate for Shiloh. We took comfort in knowing that Sam worked from home and could take Shiloh on multiple walks per day to get her exercise in. Overall good experience and I would recommend him to others”
2. Han T.
“Han was so great! Super communicative and my dog loved her, I could tell! Han was so patient with my dog who can be a little bit of a diva and higher energy, and sent just the right amount of photos and updates.”
3. Nina M.
“Nina was very communicative and took great care of our pup! She sent tons of pictures of him playing in her large yard and he really seemed to enjoy himself. Would highly recommend!”
4. Sush S.
“Sush was amazing! She took my dog to the groomers for me and everything! She communicated with me and sent pictures and just was overall professional! I recommend her and also will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
5. Andrew M.
“Thank you for boarding Josie these two nights. It was great to have another friendly dog for her to hang with. I really appreciate how much experience you have with dogs. Real dog people.”
6. Kate P.
“Kate was so caring and nice to my dog, Boomer! He got to play in the dog park and I got lots of photos of him getting so much attention. Kate was so considerate when she learned Boomer was scared of elevators and let him use the stairs the rest of his visit to make him more comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Kate again in the future.”
7. Christine J.
“Pixel loved staying at Christine’s. We appreciate how flexible she was with watching pixel and often checked in with us. He’s looking forward to staying with her again in a couple weeks!”
8. Karen L.
“I've never left Lily with anyone but my Mom because she has trauma from a dog attack. Karen was amazing with Lily and she put my mind at ease.”
9. Nadine L.
“Nadine took such great care of our Stella! She was wonderful about sending detailed daily updates and photos. We were so appreciative that she was flexible and could watch Stella an extra day for us on short notice. We would definitely book with her again!”
10. Bethany A.
“Eva was thrilled to see us after her two week stay with Bethany—but obviously equally sorry to leave her loving caretaker! Eva was fit and healthy and clearly attached to Bethany, who sent us photos and videos while we were away so we could see her happily cavorting with the other dogs staying there. We will definitely be coming back in the future!!”
11. Veronica G.
“Our pups spent a whole week with Veronica and when we picked them up... They were relaxed, happy and thrilled to see us. And dare I say they smelled like they had baths? This trip was so much better than when we have to leave them at the petHotel, where they come home a little shell shocked.”
12. Musa G.
“Musa has been great with Mocha for 10 days, which is longest time we have been away. He was great sharing pictures and sending messages. Mocha looked happy and playful in the pictures. Thank you Musa for taking a great care of Mocha. We will definitely ask Musa to watch Mocha again.”

“This is the second time my dog has stayed with Kelly for a week. I don’t have to worry at all when I travel because I know he is in safe hands and having a lot of fun!”
16. John G.
“John has been great caring for my German shepherd puppy. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and was up to the task of handling a large playful puppy. I would recommend him to anyone.”
17. Michelle A.
“Michelle & her family were great hosts for our pup, and were very accommodating for a last minute request. Getting videos and pictures of our dog running with Cinnamon (Michelle’s cute pup), were so fun to see. She gave great updates and we know that Elmer was well taken care of during his stay. He had a blast and we will definitely come back again soon. 😊”
18. Ron R.
“Jasper had great time and Ron was sending us updates every single day Knowing that Jasper was so well cared for each and every day allowed us to really relax and not worry about him while we were on vacation.”
19. Michael N.
“We got great pictures of our puppy playing in the yard. This is the second time we used Michael and she's happy and healthy when we pick her up. Our puppy has tons of energy and loves to go out and play so a fenced in yard is a must. Michael and family seem to enjoy playing with her and we love that about them.”
20. Asia M.
