1. Shelby K.

“Shelby was amazing with Zoey. She made sure she was comfortable right from the start and it was evident that Zoey was well cared for and the best time with Shelby and her family including her two collies that Zoey was able to run and play with for a couple of days. She also shared some fun pictures and was really great with communication which made our leaving Zoey worry free while we were away. Thanks Shelby! 💗”


2. Megan L.

“Megan was so great with my dog king! She is always super helpful and is great at sending updates and pictures throughout the bookings. King absolutely loves her any and every time he stays. I was nervous about leaving my baby boy but she made everything so easy and comforting! I will definitely continue to rebook anytime she’s available.”




3. Julie D.

“I think Murray enjoyed staying with Julie and Joe. We loved getting picture updates while we were away. Definitely will be booking with Julie again!! Thanks for taking great care of our Murray!!”


4. Trina P.

“Trina is an excellent dog caretaker. Our little Bean had so much fun and you could tell she felt very loved. She'll treat your pup like it's her own. She's generous, dedicated and kind. We will definitely be using her services again.”


5. Katy M.

“Katy did a wonderful job taking care of our doggies! She kept us in the loop daily with photos and updates! Our dogs loved her backyard!! All the recommendations!”


6. Adam "Jaime" B.


“Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!”


7. Savannah M.

“Savannah is extremely caring. Communication with her is really easy. She did her best to accommodate our request in the last minute note. The only thing, I did not have updates about our dog unless I asked.”

“Becky is so good with Hank. He loves being there and getting in some play time with other dogs. She's been giving us good tips on helping with his food aggression as well. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND”


14. Amanda C.

“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She recently cared for my two dogs, one of whom is just a 4-month-old puppy, and her service went above and beyond my expectations. From the start, she made sure we felt comfortable leaving our boys in her care, keeping us updated daily with the sweetest photos of them playing and getting plenty of cuddles from her family. Not only did she treat them like her own, she handled the extra energy and attention a puppy requires. She also went the extra mile by bathing both of my boys before we picked them up. This level of care and thoughtfulness meant the world to us. Our fur babies had a great time in her care. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


15. Ashley M.

“Ashley did an amazing job with my Bengal Sookie! She kept updating me and sending pics from very beginning to the end of his stay. You could tell she really cares and puts her heart into it. I highly recommend Ashley. 💕🙂”

“Hong was professional and great to work with! She updated us with pictures and videos of our dog throughout boarding.”


17. Jordan M.

“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”


18. Melissa H.

“Melissa was absolutely fabulous!!! I am definitely the definition of helicopter mom when it comes to my dog. Melissa was amazing she allowed us to come by before the booking to meet her dogs and her. Then once the trip began she was fantastic constantly updating and sending me photos of my boy…heath is a covid puppy and VERY bonded to me and it was soo amazing to see him happy and comfortable while i was gone!! Thank you Melissa for being so wonderful!! Heath cant wait for the next trip so he can come back and play!”
