Benny was sad for 2 days after I brought him home from his "vacation"!! I think he had more fun at Vicky's than I had in Mexico! I'm sure he can't wait until the next time I go away; I hope she'll be available again. As we drove away from her house, he stared out the window and whined! He almost never whines! Her dog and mine played for days straight until their energy ran out. She has a fantastic fenced backyard and plenty of dog toys (all of which Benny promptly pulled out during our meet-n-greet). She also sends photo updates while you're gone, which were so cute. Awesome experience! Hope we can do it again.

We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.

I needed someone to watch my cat at the last minute, and Stephen was absolutely wonderful! Stephen was so kind and responsive, and I knew my cat was in good hands. I got updates throughout and I was able to adjust my pickup time when ciecumsstances changed. I would recommend Stephen to anyone!

Rose took such great care of our dramatic girl! She was easy to communicate with prior to the booking to make sure we were all on the same page about Lady’s needs, and she sent lots of pictures during her stay. Any dog would be lucky to be watched by Rose!

Jennifer is fantastic! She is an animal lover and a responsible pet owner herself, as well as my go-to dog walker and pet sitter for when I am traveling or need an extra hand. She is trustworthy, has a lifetime of experiences with animals of all kinds, and reliably cares for my dog and cat when I'm out of town. Please don't hesitate to add her to your pet care crew.

Alison is fantastic! My dog Porter had such a great time with her. Her communication, willingness to run/exercise with Porter, and her flexibility was wonderful. Such a relief to know that my dog is comfortable and enjoying himself hanging out with Alison as much as I enjoyed my vacation! Highly recommend!

Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!

My little guy King stayed with Molly for 5 nights. He's usually very shy with humans at first, but he seemed to have a great time while staying there, which set me at ease. He got to meet other doggos and make other friends too. He loves being able to roam and play in a fenced yard, so that was a plus! Molly kept me posted on Kings daily activities and how he was doing, and also sent me pics daily! King always looked like he was having so much fun! Definitely made me worry less about leaving him for more than a few days. The coziness and warm vibe in their house made me feel good about having King stay with them... I'd definitely use Molly again for daycare or boarding for my sweet King!

Catharine provided a great home away from home for our pup! She was very responsive, sent great pictures, and was very flexible to work around us. Our pup had a great time and enjoyed having the company of her pups in Catherine's comfy home. Catharine was also very flexible, responsive, and accommodating when our flights were delayed. Overall great boarding experience!

My labradoodle Greta thrived while staying with Andrew for 6 days. She’s always a bit shy and anxious when away from me but Greta had obviously bonded with Andrew during her stay. I got photos every day so I could see that she was relaxed and having fun with other dogs staying with Andrew. I will definitely re-book with Andrew the next time I’m looking for Greta care.

Kathleen took great care of our puppy Fiona. She even dropped her off for us when we got home! She was laid back about Fiona’s puppy behaviors and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!

Christine was amazing! Not only did she take my reservation week-of, she took my anxious dog, Pepper, and made sure she was comfortable and entertained the entire time. She sent along photos and videos giving me so much peace of mind. With Christine’s compassion and fully fenced in backyard, my Pepper didn’t want to leave! Will absolutely be biking again and I encourage you to do the same!
