“Buddy's stay with Edward went great. The drop off and pick up was quick. Ed took picture and sent update of Buddy chilling with another dog. I would highly recommend Edward and use him again in the future.”

But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”

This was such a great experience, I booked with Jennifer again as soon as I got home! I appreciate Jennifer so much and highly recommend her!!”

They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”

I was very anxious leaving our newest dog with someone for the first time, and I let her know that so she made sure to send me multiple updates/photos during the day which was greatly appreciated by me!

“Jesse and her family are awesome! She texted me updates and photos of our girl every day. Her two kiddos kept our large puppy very entertained. There is truly no price tag that you can place on peace of mind and that’s exactly what we had while CoCo stayed with Jesse. We would absolutely book Jesse again in the future!”
“Amanda provided exceptional care for our high-maintenance dog, Brock. Safety was a priority, and her facility (aptly named "Vacation Paws") thoughtfully designed. Brock didn't want to leave! Highly recommend Vacation Paws for anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”
