“Phillip, Took extra special care of our fur baby. Very professional and always responded promptly regarding the well being of dog. Highly recommended! Definitely 5 stars easliy..*****”


“A great vacation for my high energy pups! Christopher was very responsive and was awesome at accommodating for my shepards. Lots of space for them to run and play. Would recommend!”


“Kate and her family were wonderful to our pup, Lulu. She was great with updated information and pics as well as letting us now how our girl was settling in during her stay. We were 100% relaxed that Lulu was in good care while we were away.”


“I don’t know where to begin; Megan and her family are the absolute best! My German Shepard/Cattle Dog is weary of new people, but she took to Megan and her family right away. I love how Megan was always available and how she consistently sent photos and videos to keep us updated; it’s like our pups were on our vacation just as we were cause based on the videos they were having so much fun I was almost jealous lol! I loved how she exposed my pups to her chickens and whatever interested them in her backyard. I also loved that they had children because my Teacup always had someone to play with. Lastly, I really appreciate Megan’s flexibility. We had car trouble coming back from the airport and not once did she ever make us feel bad for the inconvenience. If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies, I totally recommend Megan 100%. Thanks so much Megan and family, you guys made going on vacation stress free. Our pups will definitely be back! P.S., Mecca and Cocoa said thank you for the treat bag you sent them home with! They really enjoyed them, especially Cocoa! Lol.”

Jeter is only 11 weeks old and had an little accident at home before we got there. when she tripped me and I fell on her. We took her to the vet first and then to Jennifer. Jennifer was so confident when we got there and knew exactly what to do. We were so relieved and happy. Jennifer even got a couple of puppy toys for Jeter to play with to supplement what we brought. A great experience. Jeter is excited to go back next month.”


“Angel was very quick to answer questions, kept me informed about how my dog was doing and seemed to really care about her task of taking care of another dog.

A better outcome than from some I have tried so I am very happy and can confidently recommend Angel.”

We received daily updates and pictures of our dog while we were in Europe...it was easy to see that Jessica gave our pup plenty of attention.
