“This was Rosie’s first time being boarded and she seemed very happy. Kelsey’s family was so good to her and I loved getting pictures of her, I have already booked another stay and now know I can plan some trips and leave Rosie in a loving home!”
“Nicole was awesome and Bailey had a fantastic time. She treated Bailey like she was her own dog and I couldn’t ask for more sent many pictures and updates and just love the fact that I have somebody that I can go to if I have to go out of town I highly recommend her.”
“I am very pleased with Kandra. Holly fit in with Kandra's golden retrievers. A great environment for my golden. I will be using her again. Unfortunately, she's not available for my next trip in Nov.”
“My dog is elderly and mostly deaf. When we travel we have always had someone he's familiar with take care of him. This time we didn't have that option. Susan and Ervin took very good care of Riley. I appreciated the texted updates about how he was doing and the attached photos. I won't hesitate to have Riley in their care when the need arises.”
“Cedric was awesome and very attentive to my dog Pinchy. His corgi instantly became besties with my dog. We can’t wait to use him again when we go out of town. Thanks a bunch!”
“I was nervous having to use this app for my dogs to stay the night at a strangers house. My original plans fell through. Hailey not only accommodated my last minute plans so I could still go on my trip, I completely messed up the booking and she had no clue problems accommodating this as well. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I was so happy to hear my dogs got along great with her dogs and kids. She used her best judgement on when she introduced the dogs which all I wanted was for her to be comfortable. I did tell her my dogs go to daycare 4 days a week so I know my dogs are well behaved but you still never know. I will definitely be using her again. She already said she would be happy to watch my dogs for my vacation in July.”
“I loved leaving my dog with Melissa and I could tell my dog loved being there too! She felt right right at home as soon as she got there, and Melissa sent me photos and videos. I will definitely book her again!”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“This is the second time Kazue has watched our dog Coco and takes excellent care of her. Coco could be a handful because she loves being held and around people constantly. Kazue updates us with photo and video and we know Coco is well taken care of. Thank you Kazue for the excellent care and peace of mind.”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Yuanyuan and her family were incredible doggy sitters! We received daily photo and video updates at every feeding, walk, playtime, and bedtime! We are so, so grateful for the amount of effort they put into sending updates! They followed our care instructions EXACTLY. We had such peace of mind throughout our week-long vacation knowing Sammy was totally cared for! Yuanyuan’s kids are so cute and played with Sammy as well 😊 and Binky, their huskie, is a calm dog and gets along well with any guests! Sammy looked like he enjoyed himself as much as we did! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”
“Achara was wonderful with our dog. He had a great time running, chasing, and playing with her dogs. Achara was great about sending pictures and updates. We are already planning the next time our dog can stay with her!”
“I was extremely apprehensive leaving my dogs with anyone for the first time at their ages of 12 and 13, but Victoria was absolutely amazing. She answered any questions I had and listened to all of my particulars. Just by the updates she sent I could tell my babies were doing things they only ever do when they’re comfortable and totally relaxed. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“I can’t imagine that there could be a more genuinely caring and involved care giver for our dog. Thank you Erin, for always making it relaxing to be away, as we know that our Pepper, is with his other family. You are the best, and our family appreciates you. The McBee’s”
“Thank you so much they took such good care of my baby girl Rose’ . They sent me lots of pictures and videos. I’m happy she got to socialize with other puppies I definitely will book again!!!this was her first stay and she did great!!”
“We had a meet and greet with Jacqueline before our time away. I immediately got the sense my dogs would be well taken care of and they were. I was not hesitant at all to proceed with the booking. She sent us pictures and videos of the dogs throughout their week stay. When we picked them up, it was clear they had a good time. They were clean, happy, and she even cleaned their bedding. We will definitely be back!”
