8. Rae & David D.
“Rae & David are wonderful people. After three stays, it feels like I’m leaving Lily with family. Lily acts like she’s home too, very comfortable & can’t wait to get inside. Very caring, knowledgeable and professional. Rae sends daily photos & videos. Winston is a great big brother and provides the fun doggie companionship. He’s very gentle with the littles too. I may have to book a play date because she misses Winston. They truly love caring for their guests. A blessing for all owners & their dogs, especially nervous dogs & dogs that don’t do well in stressful boarding facilities. The Best!!!”
9. Jessica L.
“Our dog has some special needs, so I was super anxious about having to leave her for 10 days.

Our pup came home mellow and cheerful from her long stay.”

12. Sara P.
“Sara is an incredible pet caregiver and sitter with a natural ability to make every animal feel loved and safe in her home. As a mom of three human children, and the owner of four cats, her home is always full of warmth and compassion. Sara also fosters cats, giving them a temporary haven until they find their forever homes, and she's always there to take care of my dad’s dog whenever needed. Her sweet, caring nature shines through in how she connects with each pet, and her sense of humor adds a joyful touch to every moment. Sara’s deep love for animals truly sets her apart from others!”

Thanks so much again Amy!”
