“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”

“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”

“Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”

“We had such a wonderful experience boarding our miniature dachshund, Bailey! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. Jon took amazing care of her and we are really impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We could tell he was treated like family. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jon again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog boarder!”


“Luna had a fantastic time! Rich is perfectly equipped for an awesome dog resort! A spacious fenced in back yard, indoor AC, very clean accommodations that are beautifully tiled, plenty of dog beds, separate eating accommodations and monitoring. Rich and his wife took extra care to make Luna feel comfortable in their home....if she could talk, I think she would’ve stayed longer! I will definitely be a repeat customer and have already referred my friends. Thank you Rich!!”

“Excellent care of my puppy again. My little Bailey can sometimes be shy or anxious. When I dropped her off, she was so excited to be there, ran off to play immediately and never looked back! Lol That let me know that she likes it there and this family takes care of her.”

“Ashley was awesome with Spence! She watched him overnight and took such great care of him. The photo updates she sent were the best and totally put our minds at ease while we were away.

We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
