“Vinnie is so well cared for when he visits Terry and his wife! Vinnie gets lots of interactions with other dogs, has a beautiful fenced in area to run around and lots of cozy places to nap! This allows our family to have a relaxing vacation and we enjoy the daily pictures from Terry! Thank you again! The Moliterno Family❤️”

“These guys wow went out of thier way to make me feel comfortable and secure leaving Lua... Lua is not for weak people and they handled her like she was a puppy... always sending photos videos and msgs while I was away. Tell you what.

4. Frances H.

“When my dog entered Frances' house for the second time, she was clearly comfortable and happy right away. Frances and her whole family love on my Stella and her son immediately took her bed into his room to sleep right next to her! I received pictures and honest updates daily and Stella came home with all of her toys and supplies. Most importantly, Stella came home safe and happy and I'm thrilled that I have this wonderful boarding option in Frances!”

“Tamara and Eric were excellent with my dog Scout. Tamara responded immediately to my all messages and sent me updates and photos throughout Scout's weekend stay. They even took Scout on a car ride because I had mentioned that she loves riding in cars. I have complete confidence in Tamara's and Eric''s ability to care for Scout, and I will absolutely rebook them the next time I am heading out of town.”


8. kaylee g.

“Kaylee was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. During their stay, one of my dogs got an ear infection and she was willing to bring him to his vet so he could be seen which isn’t close to her house. She sent daily updates and had great communication. I would highly recommend her as a sitter for your pups.”

12. derek o.


“Our puppers are exhausted!! Must have had a lot of play time! This is our second time with Derek and the care makes it easy for me to bring them somewhere other than having someone come and check on them. Thank you Derek.”


13. Leslee S.

“Leslee was fantastic! I was so nervous to leave Tank with a stranger, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and I knew he would be safe with her. She even sent pics during the week! We will definitely come back!”


14. Jacquelyn S.

“Jacquelyn took THE BEST care of our senior pup. We haven’t had the need to board her since she was young so we were very nervous about finding the right fit. Jacquelyn let us visit to feel it out and make sure Kona got along with her dogs, she went the extra step to make Kona comfortable and stimulated during her stay. We got constant updates including pictures and videos - she really does treat her guests like her own pets! We will be booking again and would recommend her to anyone!”


15. Megan A.

“Megan was awesome and sent pics and updates every day. Poppy came home happy and with no bad habits and all smiley wiggles. :) I would 1000% recommend Megan and would definitely bring Poppy back next time our girl needs a break from her terror of a brother.”


16. Olivia D.

“I highly recommend, I am still very Impressed. Olivia took great care of my German Shepherd, Made him feel very at home in a very safe and relaxing environment. He felt like was on vacation as well, napping, relaxing, and desired activities. She would be my first choice if I need boarding in area again!”


17. Nina W.

“Nina took care of our pit mix, Rosie, for nine nights over Thanksgiving. It was hard to be so far away but Nina sent videos and pictures daily. It was obvious that Rosie was happy and well taken care of. She had all the walks and snuggles she needed and I’m sure took over the bed at night. We are so grateful to have found Nina and will book again for our next trip.”


18. Kristina L.

“Kristina was perfect! She responds very quickly and made sure Ellie felt right at home. Ellie got along great with her dogs and had the best time for the whole week. I would book again!”


19. Jayme S.

“Jayme and her family were the best! They took such good care of Atlas and shared regular updates. We had to book with her at the last minute because our dog had kennel cough :( so we needed to find a new sitter who wasn’t hosting any other dogs at the same time AND was willing to give Atlas is antibiotics. Jayme came through for us and it was better than we could have hoped! It’s clear they love dogs and know how to take care of them. I would definitely trust Jayme again with our dog. We are so grateful she was willing to jump in!”


20. Carol R.

“Carol was exceptional with our fur baby, Roxy. She demonstrated immense care, attention, and affection towards our furry friend throughout our absence. We returned home to a happy and healthy pup, thanks to her reliable and trustworthy service.”
