1. Bonnie K.
“Bonnie took great care of our 3yo lab/hound rescue dog. He has only been with us for three months and it was our first time away from him, so it was great to know he was in such good hands. She fed, walked and played with him--he got plenty of exercise and stimulation, and most importantly, attention!! With the snowstorm she ended up boarding him for one night at her house and he was well taken care of at her place. She even taught him to roll over! We will definitely hire Bonnie again.”

8. Lindsey K.
“Lindsey had been absolutely fantastic with my dog, Speckles. Speckles is very anxious and requires a little extra TLC. Lindsey did a great job of approaching her and making her feel comfortable enough to interact and have successful potty breaks. Lindsey even goes out of her way to make sure Speckles is fully stimulated and gets what she needs out of every visit. Lindsey also writes very detailed and fun reports of what she and Speckles get up to. I feel very lucky to have found someone like Lindsey who I trust so much with my dog.”
