“Mike is the best! We left our dog for his first night away from us, and we felt very comfortable and had no worries. Our dog had a rough night and Mike helped him through. We’ll be booking again!!”



“We would only leave our little poodle with someone we entirely trust, and this was the case with Donna. She made our Sasha very comfortable and kept a very consistent communication flowing with pictures / videos in emails and other platforms, and answering all my questions. It was not easy! Our dog is used to flying with us everywhere, and this was the first time she spent several nights away from us (2 weeks!). She was quickly at ease in Donna's house, I could tell by the behavior. I will come back quickly to Donna and I only regret I had not known her earlier. We could have used her help in a few more occasions in the past. Super recommended!!!”


“Rose cared for my Cairn terrier when my usual sitter was unavailable on short notice. She was attentive and responsive, sending updates and photos frequently during our long weekend away. You can tell she really enjoys dogs and makes an effort to make them feel comfortable in her home.”


“Denise was great! She sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog, and he was clearly well cared for and enjoying himself. She has two sweet dogs herself and it was a wonderful environment.”


“Linda was very nice and took great care of our dog Dexter. She has a nice, cozy and safe space outside for lounging in the sun/shade. I believe he enjoyed his stay and was meant to feel right at home - allowed to go on couches and bed.”


“Christina always takes excellent care of our two dogs. We know they are in caring, safe hands at her home. She is also a great communicator. Very kind and quick with responses.”


“Absolutely amazing experience! Left my boy for 10 days and he couldn’t have been in a better care! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay and made sure to send daily pictures. It made me feel better knowing that he was getting so much attention and love! Will be using Felicia every time we need help!”



“Sylwia was wonderful, met Alice ahead of time. Alice loved the whole family, River and Deshi included! Had a blast and was reluctant to leave Sylwia. Cannot thank and recommend her enough, definitely will be rebooking!”


“Kristi has the perfect home for a doggie vacation. Our pup was well cared for in her comfy house and had access to plenty of outdoor time in her fenced in yard. She kept us updated with pictures during his stay which was a nice touch.”


“Shelby took wonderful care of Sunny and we loved knowing he was having so much fun while we were gone! Great communication and loved seeing the updates. We’d be grateful to have her watch Sunny another time in the future!”


“Kristin and Bobby watched our frenchie Duke for a weekend and they took very good care of him! Communication was great, they brought their dog to our house first so we could make sure the dogs got along, and they sent pics during the weekend. We will definitely use them again!”


“This was our first long term boarding with Julie S. and it could not have gone better. Julie and her family were so attentive and loving towards Benji. The daily reports and pictures were very reassuring. There’s nothing more welcome than feeling like your pet is in good hands while you’re away.”


“Laura is an awesome host. We went for a vacation and with her experience and loving nature I blindly trusted her to take care of my two dogs. Moxxi and Chomsky seemed so happy in her house. Thanks Laura:)”


“Crystal picked up our dog Koda after he was the ring bearer in our wedding, and she took such amazing care of him while he boarded with her for several days. Her communications, updates, and flexibility were incredible, and it's clear from her messages about his eating, his signals, and interactions with other dogs that she has a great understanding of dog behavior and how to gracefully handle any situation. Will be bring Koda back in the future!”


“Daniela and her family were great sitters. Lots of communication including videos and pics, which we loved. They were also patient and generous with our (often) rambunctious puppy. Highly recommend.”


“We liked Laurie right off the bat when we did our meet and greet. We had to cancel our reservation at the last moment because our dog suffered a bad reaction to a vaccine he got the day before. Laurie was very nice about it. I’d recommend her highly. She seems really trustworthy.”


“Colin & Emily were great from the start. Very communicative and accommodating. During Lulu’s stay they provided lots of updates and photos. I know the daily walks with their dogs helped Lulu feel more comfortable.”


“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
