1. Kristy T.

“Kristy was so amazing! She communicated super well and sent lots of pics during our pups’ stay. I could tell she truly loves dogs and took the best care of ours while they were with her. I am super thankful that I knew they were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”


2. Avonlea K.

“We had terrible flight delays and cancellations. Avonlea went above and beyond to take care of our girls so that all we had to worry about was finding a way home.”


3. Melissa H.

“My dogs are always excited to see Melissa when we arrive. Melissa is very knowledgeable and careful to meet our pets' needs. I have a pet with an injury and she managed her play time as needed and asked questions about my dog's medication. I appreciate her attention to detail and her willingness to getting to know Cricket and Josie! I highly recommend Melissa!!!”


4. Haley F.

“Haley was AWESOME with our child (pup). It was our first time ever leaving our dog and we were so nervous, but Haley was so attentive to our crazy girl. She sent us pictures every day, stayed on top of our pup’s needs, and just overall treated her like her own. You don’t know what to expect going into this, but I can promise you that Haley will love on your fur child like she did ours. Will 100% be using her again?”


5. Brittany B.

“Brittany did a great job with my two pups. Was accommodating with pickup and drop off. Kept up with their different feeding/medication schedules and they came back happy and healthy! Her dog Henri is great as well. Would definitely book with her again!”


6. Erin C.

“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”


7. Ashton A.
“I only trust a few people to take care of my dog and Ashton is one of them! My black lab, Harley, stayed with Ashton while I was out of town and Harley just loves her. I trust Ashton with my dog because she has grown up with dogs her whole life and is therefore a very knowledgeable and responsible caregiver. Ashton loves any & all dogs and would be the perfect sitter for your furry friend. They are guaranteed to have a great time with her :)”


8. Joseph B.

“Riley enjoyed her stay with Joe! (As I expected she would.) He was very attentive to her needs and needs. They liked to take walks and watch the same flicks on tv, while chilling on the couch with his hand scratching her head just how she likes it. I picked him because he is retired and could give her the 1:1 attention that she craves. He kept me updated and I felt very comfortable with leaving my little miss in his capable hands. She will be back for more stays in the future. Joe, Riley thanks you too!”


9. Katherine P.

“Katherine was great at communicating with us and sending updates and photos. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to love on and take care of your fur baby! We will be repeat customers for sure.”

13. Kasey M.

“First time using this service and first time my 3 cats stay with a new human. I highly recommend Kasey, she made every step of the process easy. By the time I arrive to pick them up. She was waitinf outside with the kittens luggage 😅 and the cats already packed too😅 made it easy. The cats adjusted very easy so I know they were happy”
