“This was Khloe's first time being boarded and what a great experience. Her first meeting with Candice went so well that when it came time for her to actually stay we were totally comfortable. Candice sent pics and kept in contact with us throughout Khloe's stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.”
“Rita was great! Quick responses, frequent updates and our dog Maple and cat Olive loved her (boarded our dog and had drop-in for our cat). Olive is usually fine when we are away but it was our first long trip away from Maple and she came home happy and healthy. I would use Rita’s services again, no problem”
“This was my dog Chase first over night visit with Amrita and her family. I was extremely satisfied with the level of communication, pictures and care Amrita provided me about my dog during his stay. Amrita followed all my little instructions to ensure my dog felt comfortable, he went on lots of walks something my dog adores. The entire family was very friendly kind and just amazing and loves pets. I feel so happy knowing my dog has a new sitter that cared for him providing him tender loving care..We will return again. Thank You Kindly, ChASE "MOM"”
“Katherine and her family were absolutely amazing to my little guy. She sent me lots of updates and pictures of him while I was away which I loved. I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Katie was great with Gracie while I visited my daughter for family weekend at UD. Gracie had a great time and settled in perfectly, according to the pictures Katie sent throughout the weekend. Very grateful for Katie and her family. Will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Katie!”
“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”
“Such a great experience. We had 3 dogs stay with them. Our dogs were treated great and with love. We definitely recommend using Kari & Joseph”
“Can't say enough how wonderful Bella is. Our active Daisy was injured the day before we were boarding with Bella, requiring multiple medications throughout the day and stricty no exercise. I was nervous leaving her, but Bella was very reassuring about following my instructions. She kept me updated with her medication schedule and sent me pictures easing my nerves. Will definitely be using Bella again.”
“Erin has exceptional communication skills, she sends cute little updates with multiple pictures daily during their stay. Our two chihuahuas come home relaxed and happy.”
“Kara took great care of our boy! She even accommodated us when we got our return time wrong. Our dog took to her and her husband right away. He had a great time. Highly recommend! Thanks, Kara!”
“Jeremy was great! I have never left my dog with anyone she didn’t know. After meeting Jenny and dropping her off, I felt comfortable leaving her. She also was on a few meds at the time. She gave updates and pictures.”
“Tariq was a fantastic Dog sitter and made sure Bella our Lab got lots of exercise and had plenty of fun while we were away. Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”
“Jen and her husband were incredible! We could tell they loved on our dog so much like he was their own dog. This was our first time leaving our new dog (who has separation anxiety) with a pet sitter, so we were nervous, but Jen helped make us feel so at ease! She was very communicative, giving us multiple updates and photos every day and responding quickly to messages from us. She really listened to us and our dog’s needs, for instance, giving him more space at first since he can be shy with strangers. Overall, she went above and beyond for him—giving him treats to help him adjust and get used to her, taking him to play fetch at the tennis court, letting him play with a toy stash of hers, cuddling him in her bed, providing a giant fluffy beanbag chair for him to sit in, etc. My dog loved it so much that I think he was a little sad to leave! We will definitely use this sitter again!”
“Justin took care of my dog Luna for one night and did an excellent job. He was very responsive and answered all my questions immediately. I would gladly trust him with Luna again!”
“Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!”
“Beth is excellent. This was the second time I used her services. She sends daily updates with pics and videos. My dog doesn’t even pay me attention when we pull up to her house. He just wants to go inside and play.”
“Rackheem watched our dogs for the first time and we were very pleased with his service. During our meet and greet - He asked a lot of questions about the dogs, was very observant of them and very gentle with them. He sent us updates and pictures while caring for our dogs. He was also very polite and respectful during our interactions over the ph and in person. Would recommend him and utilize his services again.”
“Jen immediately put us at ease. Her positive energy and love of dogs came through at our very first meeting. She regularly sent us notes and pics of our dogs, which we really appreciated. Thank you Jen! We will definitely call again if we need a sitter!!”
“Courtney was awesome from start to finish! My dog was legitimately excited to be there and she kept me in the loop with pictures throughout his stay! It felt safe and comfortable and he came home absolutely exhausted the next day! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
