“Enzo had a great time playing with Samantha’s pups. He slept all evening after I picked him up and I could tell he missed his new doggy friends. She said he even ate some which is great because he doesn’t always do that when we are away.”



“Karen did such a great job making my little Thunder feel at home! While I was away for 2 weeks on vacation to New Zealand, I was delighted to receive pictures via text to see that my little buddy was happy and comfortable! Her two sweet doggies were excellent canine companions to my chihuahua, and I couldn't be happier with the whole thing! I would recommend her to anyone, any time!”

“My dog rose had a great time, Dana provided updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos, which was great. I would definitely recommend”


“Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣”

She was great about sending pictures with updates and even took time to work with my dog alone before introducing him to the other dogs she was caring for. She has a beautiful facility and a great knowledge of different dog breeds.”


“If you need a caring, thoughtful, and no stress/worry free sitter and caregiver for your dog - Alyssa is it. My partner and I needed someone for our 5 month old Bernedoodle who is used to our work-from-home schedule and high energy dog. Alyssa was WONDERFUL and we cannot be more grateful for her. We HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Abigail was absolutely fantastic! Throughout my time away, they provided wonderful and engaging updates about my doggo, which I truly appreciated. Seeing how happy and comfortable my pup was in their care was such a relief. Abigail went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt secure and familiar with them, demonstrating exceptional dedication. If it were possible, I'd give them far more than five stars!”


“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”


“Oreo had a great stay with Jana and her family. They took such good care of my elderly dog and made sure he had activity time and gave him all his meds and gave him care and attention. He got along with their dog, which isn't always easy for my Oreo. I was sent many pictures each evening so I could see how my buddy was enjoying his stay. I highly recommend Jana and Hannah (hope I got that right). I will definitely rebook with them.”
