1. Melissa G.
“We brought our dog back to Melissa’s for another weekend stay and our dog was SO excited when we got to her house! I can’t say enough great things about Melissa - she always responds quickly and sends multiple adorable updates/pictures a day, helping me know that my dog is happy and safe. She’s definitely our go-to sitter from now on!”
2. De'Aysia T.
“De’Aysia was a wonderful caregiver for our puppy & both of her beautiful pooches gave him a warm welcome. She took care of our lil guy like he was one of her own, you can tell she genuinely cares and loves working with animals. I loved getting the little video updates about how our pup was getting along with all in the new environment. I know he was given a fair amount of attention & was loved in his time here. It was such a better alternative to the typical boarding options where I think he might have spent much of the time kenneled. It was like a doggy slumber party, our pup came home happy & pooped from all the fun & play! We’ll definitely want to utilize De’Aysia again to care for our pup when we need to be away.”

“Khanh is so nice to our pups. She gives them really healthy diet. Grooms them so nicely and makes sure they smell good coming home! Our best dog sitter ever!”
4. Lola M.
“Boarding with Lola was great! We were worried about our sweet boy Franklin as we’ve boarded at our doggie daycare before and he didn't do very well. So heading into this boarding experience, we were nervous to leave but Lola made the experience so much less stressful! We felt comfortable leaving him with her from the start! We also got pictures and videos through the boarding experience and Franklin looked like he was having the best time! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy 💙”
