Shannon is absolutely wonderful. Great communication and my pup had a wonderful stay. She stays on top of my dog’s needs and she has a wonderful space for dogs to enjoy their time.

Carolina was great with my dog. He’s not a great eater but she sat with him and encouraged him to eat. Provided plenty of updates and pictures.

Eva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.

Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊

Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!

Mary Jo and her family are fantastic!! And her son is adorable and loves dogs:) It was a last minute booking but Mary Jo was extremely accommodating in setting up a meet and greet and then hosting my dog in her home for 4 nights I could tell from her messages that Texas, my dog, felt right at home. He was spunky and ate all his dinners. I would highly recommend Mary Jo

Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.

Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!

Wonderful, caring, considerate, and responsible family boarded our two pomskies. Responsive and communicative - sent pictures and updates. Dogs got walked and played with. Medicine was successfully administered. Generous and flexible- dogs were able to stay a few extra days to accommodate some changes in our plans. Dogs were well taken care of, would definitely book with Matt B again.

We set up a meet and greet with Shannon to watch our 8 yr old boxer Moxie for 9 days. Right before meeting Shannon, Moxie suffered from a hemorrhaging tumor. Thankfully we were able to stabilize her and she has recovered remarkably. Moxie was still sick though and the tumor could rupture at any moment. But Shannon agreed to take her in knowing I had full confidence. If I could give Shannon a million stars I would. She was a true blessing to our family in caring for her. Not only did Moxie adjust to her home, she thrived!! Thank you Shannon, I would recommend her to anyone!!
