Janine takes such great care of our dog Blaze! She goes above and beyond our expectations everytime he is with her! We know he loves to stay with Janine because she really treats him like her own pet. He loves her too. As soon as he sees me pack his bag, he knows where he is going and can't wait. All I have to say is "You get to go to Janine's house" and he immeadiately is wagging his tail. Blaze loves all of the walks Janine takes him on with neighborhood dog pals and their owners. She also, plays with him alot. We know he is in safe, caring hands with Janine!

Communication was wonderful and all my questions were answered. I had no concerns the entire time. Will definitely be booking with Mike again in the future.

Jessica and her family took great care of Hank while we were gone! When my husband went to pick him up, he said that Hank initially started going back to the house instead of the car. Definitely a testament to how he was treated and how much he enjoyed being there. I also appreciated the updates and pictures. We would definitely trust Jessica to watch Hank again.

Tristan and Bill are fantastic, down to earth, and communicative. Given our furry kids are all unique, I appreciated the good communication on how they are doing and for any clarifications, and Tristan was awesome about that. Put me at ease while watching a senior pup with some extra needs. Highly recommend!

Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.

Giana was absolutely wonderful! Took amazing care of our Lily (5yo great dane with terrible separation anxiety), barely 1 week post op from a tail amputation. She was so sweet and compassionate with Lily as well as went the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable as well as making sure her meds were taken. Would 100% trust Giana with Lily and any other pet again in the future. Giana was a wonderful communicator who sent updates & pictures as well as responded quickly to any questions/messages. Can’t thank her & her husband enough, as well recommend them!

I chose Robert based on his positive reviews, and I am happy to be adding to them now! Even though it was just an overnight stay I got pictures and updates on how Buck was doing. Buck looked happy in every photo. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert again when I need to board Buck!

Zoe was so excited to return to Stan's and to greet him and his two dogs, that she didn't even give me her sad eyed goodbye that usually comes when she realizes that I am leaving her. Stan shared videos of Zoe playing outside and text message updates of her adventures, and I could tell that she was having a wonderful time. thanks again Stan!

Lilo was in such good hands with Roxanne-they truly treated her as if she was part of their family while we were gone. Lilo came home happy as ever and tired out from her fun staycation with Roxanne.

With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy.

Monika was GREAT with our 2 dogs! She watched them while we were off getting married and then off to our honeymoon. Over the 16 day long stay they had with her, Monika would send daily pictures and updates which we LOVED!!! She cared for my Bubbles even with a cruciate ligament tear in one of her knees. Monika had previous experience with her own dog and was able to care for Bubbles and her injury until she could get in for surgery. Overall, you can tell Monika LOVE animals and LOVES what she does. Leaving our dogs in Monika’s care is the best decision we could’ve made! :)

We had an amazing experience boarding Mochi at Roselyn’s home! From the very beginning, Roselyn was kind, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care. Her dog and cat are incredibly friendly, and it was so heartwarming to see how much they loved Mochi. Mochi felt right at home and clearly enjoyed the companionship and welcoming environment. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mochi was happy, safe, and well cared for. Rozalyn kept us updated, shared pictures and videos, and it was obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We truly appreciated the love and attention Mochi received during the stay. Highly recommend Roselyn to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog-boarding experience. We would absolutely book with her again!

If I could give Katy more than 5 stars I absolutely would. My pup is a wheelchair pup who has a little more needs than some others might and Katy was extremely accommodating. She made her home his for the weekend. I’m usually nervous about leaving him places but she far surpassed my expectations when it came to caring about Miko! She was patient and thoughtful and updated me with lots of pics so I could still be in the loop. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their pup.

Ali was truly exceptional with my dog, Gatsby. As a very anxious dog owner, I do not trust easily when it comes to leaving my dog in someone else’s care. Good pet care means so much more than just watching them. It’s about understanding their routine, making sure they’re safe, supervised, exercised, treated kindly, and cared for in a way that feels thoughtful. Ali went above and beyond in every way. Before even agreeing to watch Gatsby, she took the time to meet with us multiple times at the dog park so our dogs could get to know each other and make sure everyone was comfortable. She also welcomed us to her home beforehand so Gatsby could get used to the environment, the smells, and feel more familiar before his stay. That level of care and intention meant so much to me. Ali’s background in training and as a vet tech gave me even more confidence, and it was clear from the start that she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and experienced. Most importantly, she made me feel completely at ease. By the end of it, I had zero worries and knew Gatsby was in safe, capable, and loving hands, and that he was having a great time. If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog with anyone, I honestly can’t think of a better person to trust. Ali is the kind of sitter who goes the extra mile, and that peace of mind is priceless.

Last year was my first time being away from my three-year-old dog since he was a puppy, so I was meticulous on finding someone I thought would keep my dog comfortable and happy while I was away. I saw Louka's profile and thought it sounded like the perfect fit. From the initial messaging, Louka was incredibly responsive, attentive, and on top of things. She also radiated warmth, kindness, positivity, gentleness, and patience. These qualities shined through during our Meet and Greet as well. She truly was the perfect person!  After dropping my dog off and arriving at the airport, I wondered if it would be too early to check in on him. It turned out that Louka had already sent a message and several pictures within the hour of dropping him off! I was able to see how quickly he had adjusted to being with her. She provided several updates on day one, and she made sure to message me immediately the next morning telling me about how his first night went. From that point on, I did not have a single worry about my dog. Whenever I checked in on him, it was simply because I missed him! She was wonderful about sending multiple unprompted daily updates with pictures and videos as well. With each update, I could tell how absolutely comfortable and happy my dog was in Louka's care. He ate, drank, went to the bathroom, played, cuddled, and slept - all without missing a beat! This made me happy!! I found Louka to be really soothing and reassuring during my entire trip. This year, I was lucky enough to be able to schedule with Louka again. One of the biggest takeaways from this time was the way she treated my dog as if he were her own, opening both her heart and home to him (as she lovingly put it, "my couch is his couch."). The other biggest takeaway was her generous flexibility with scheduling. No matter what she had going on, she made sure departing and reuniting with my dog went as smoothly and efficiently as possible. I am so grateful to have found the most trustworthy person to care for my dog, and I am glad that she chooses to be a caretaker! It suits her so well! Louka will continue to be my go-to caretaker for any future trips. She is amazing!
