Amber took great care of Roxi! Communication was excellent and she took extra care to ensure she wasn’t intimidated by larger dogs during the stay.

Amazing! My sweet Golden loved spending time with Patricia and the other dog she was caring for. It worked out so well. She is particular, asks great questions, very accommodating, shared fun updates and photos with me and my kiddos (who were missing their buddy). I didn't have to worry for a moment that Hope was in good hands! Thank you so much! See you next time!

Kim is the best with my dog Stella. When I go on vacation, I don’t have to worry about my dog, not getting attention and being taken care of. I highly recommend Kim for anyone to watch their dog.

Jolene is so wonderful and patient with our rescue Kara who is quite timid and anxious. Thank you so much for making accommodations for her unique situation each time we have to go away.

Savannah was amazing! She went above and beyond for our dog. She provided pictures and videos during our vacation, and let us know how everything was going. You can truly tell how much she and her husband care. Our dog was sad to leave her and her dogs behind.. shows how much love he received! Highly reccommed!!

Sasha was great to work with. Our 1yo dog had regressed to excitement pee several times a day in and out of the house. She worked around it with some obedience training that worked for us, extra pads, frequent trips and baths—above and beyond what we prepared for. Sasha was kind and patient for the week she watched our dog and helped clarify the excitement issue wasn’t heat like we thought but just social (she stopped peeing once she got home). Would love to board with her again once we socialize our dog for a better board experience.

Hannah was amazing! She showed our sweet Butter so much love and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our anxious dog was being cared for so well the entire time we were away. Hannah sent tons of photos and updates which is always the best. We highly recommend her and would leave Butter with her again in a heartbeat.

Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.

My pups came home very tired! Sign of a good time? Not sure but they sure were quiet & slept a lot! Cristina said they did well & she would gladly take them again. The house was nice & spacious. I enjoyed the pictures, just wished there were a few more.
