Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!

Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊

A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.

Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!

Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!

We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.

We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.

Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.

Tyrone and Lexus seemed to enjoy their stay with Angela and Dave. They also have Honey and Bella to redirect the little furbabies. Thank you for accomodating aloof Tyrone and clingy LexusI The daily pictures and update, calmed the “hooman dogparents” as well? We will do it again with Angela.

Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!

Heather took care of our dog Mars for 8 days, and we had such a great experience. She sent updates every morning and evening with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mars clearly had the best time playing with the kids, going on walks, and enjoying the backyard. It really felt like he was part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will definitely be booking with Heather and her family again this summer!

Hannah was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Orso. This was our first time ever leaving him, so we were definitely a little nervous — but Hannah made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. Orso loves everyone, but it was clear he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for with her. Coming home to a relaxed and content pup gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found Hannah and will absolutely be using her again!

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

Kim took really good care of my dogs. She constantly provided me with videos of them playing in her yard and updates on their feeding schedule and esting habits. My 2 dogs seem to have had a great time staying at her home for a few days. I will definitely book her again in the future.
