“Dwight was great! He looked after my two pups while I was away on a family vacation. I could tell that he took the time to get to know both of them and treated them like extended family. He sent picture updates and was flexible with the drop off time. Next time I have to go out of town, I’m def booking with Dwight!”

“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”

“Tamara was absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of Ollie. She was super attentive, patient, and thoughtful throughout his stay. I loved getting the daily photo updates; it really gave me peace of mind while I was away. She accepted my booking on very short notice, which I truly appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”


“Teddy is our 150lb Bullmastiff and EK and her family welcomed him like the rest of the tiny tots that are looked after daily. She is trustworthy and reliable. We hadn't been on a real vacation in 2yrs we had no issues or worries while gone.”

“Kyla was the first stranger I’ve ever trusted to keep my Dylan and I am so glad I chose her! She took great care of him while I was away and he warmed up to her instantly. I am very appreciative and will be booking again in the future.”

“Our Bernie loved staying with Joe. He understands dogs through and through, and maybe even more important, he understands and appreciates the quirks and idiosyncrasies of particular dogs. He kept us well informed and accommodated our schedule. Bernie would go back in a heartbeat, I’m sure, and we would be happy knowing she was in good hands.”

“Katrina is seriously the best!!! Truffles boarded with her over the weekend and she had the best time, cuddling and walking and playing. Katrina sent over multiple (adorably edited and captioned) pictures and videos throughout the day, complete with an end of day report card. I was totally at ease knowing Truffles was getting the best care :)”

“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”

“Kamiah & Casius were great with my fur baby. It was my first time using a service like this and I was so nervous. Kamiah was understanding of my nerves answered all my questions. She sent daily photos and videos. She was understandable with my travel delays and when I picked my dog up she was smiling and continued to do so for the rest of the evening. There were no stress signals or behaviors from my dog and she was right back into her routine at home. Thank you for taking such great care of Macci!! Will definitely use again”

“Buddy loves going to stay with Ann! The peace of mind we have dropping Buddy off with Ann is amazing. So much better than a normal boarding experience.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we found Shelby. She was very responsive and sent us updates with pictures of our pup. I would love to have her watch our dog again. Thanks Shelby!”

“Once again a great experience with Steven. Our Gunny feels comfortable with him after another stay. We trust Steven and we can tell Gunny has made a new favorite friend😊”


“Jennifer and her husband are excellent caretakers. She is extremely responsive and send videos/photos daily if you prefer. My dog loves visiting their home and I will definitely rebook!”

“Fred was communicative. Loved how he sent pictures of my little doggy looking relaxed and playful. He gave updates on how my dog was doing and I felt secure that Fred was with him and spending time.”

“I had a great experience with Scott as always. He took wonderful care of Bambi and kept me updated throughout the stay. It was clear Bambi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for.”

“Jenna was great with our puppy. She was so welcoming and sent us pictures of Koda our entire trip. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone needing puppy sitting:)”

“Nathan was AMAZING!! I truly can’t thank him enough for taking such good care of our dog! We had to leave our 6 month old puppy for a few days, and we were so anxious about finding the right person to watch her. We could not have found a better option! Nathan was super responsive, patient, and treated our dog like she was his own! We will definitely be repeat customers!”


“Ashley was great! She sent lots of updates and helped reassure me that my little girl was in good hands. She was very considerate and only accepted additional bookings for dogs that she thought would get along well with my pup. Overall, I was very impressed with Ashley and would highly recommend!”

Elena took exceptional care of Luther and Frita! We booked for a week which was the longest we’ve ever been apart from our pups, but Elena made the whole experience so easy and stress free. She sent us regular updates and pictures throughout their stay and it gave us so much peace of mind during our vacation! When we picked them up, they looked so happy and well taken care of, which meant the world to us. Thank you, Elena, for giving us peace of mind while we were away and for treating Luther and Frita like your own! We will definitely be coming back! 💓🐶

We had such a wonderful experience with Carmela. She and her roommate were incredibly sweet and loving with Sam, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing there was always someone around with him. We’re pretty sure Sam had a great time with them! They kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Sam also has some special dietary needs, and when they ran out of the treats he could have, they were so thoughtful to go out and buy more for him. That little gesture meant a lot to us. Thank you both for taking such great care of our boy and making us feel completely comfortable while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again! ❤️
I’m a first-time puppy owner who felt very anxious and guilty about leaving my little guy with a boarder. Cheyanne’s calm presence, timely replies, and photo and video updates helped me overcome my feelings. The puppy seems to have liked being in the company of Cheyanne and her dogs. Previous positive reviews are accurate. I recommend her! Thank you, Cheyanne.

Ari stayed overnight, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, which made everything so easy. Throughout Ari’s stay, she kept me updated with messages and adorable pictures, giving me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Ari was well cared for and treated like family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog boarder. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Kamiah and Casius were very caring. It was Teddy’s first time to be left with someone he did not know and it was for ten days. They took very good care of him and were understanding when he cried at bedtime. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!!!

Penelope had an excellent stay with Andre! They were so attentive to her needs, she had a few nerves but they were able to take care of her while we were away and we couldn’t be more grateful. Amazing communication, we received photo and text updates daily! Would absolutely recommend and book again.
