1. Makoto C.
“Makoto was very responsive and sent pictures and videos daily. My dog is high energy so I needed someone who had other pets that she can play with. My dog had so much fun and was tuckered out even the day after I picked her up. Would book her again for sure!”
2. Shaleigh S.
“Shaleigh was awesome watching Rico. Very flexible with her time and kept me updated on how he was Rico. Definitely recommend booking with her!”
3. Tabitha W.

“My dog was very happy and seemed to enjoy meeting new friends! Very happy my dog had a safe place to stay!”
7. Rey L.
“Rey was easy to work with. Honest and caring. He was thoughtful to ask about types of play my pup would prefer before putting her into discomfort (she hates waterplay, and he asked about setting up a dog pool before just doing it). He shared pics throughout the stay, and kept our baby girl happy.”

10. Joseph & Jessyka S.
“We’ve cycled our pup through a handful of kennels, dog sitters, and paying neighbors to come check up on him. Nothing compares to the amount of care Joseph & Jessyka gave him. We know he’ll be safe and happy with them, & we are very grateful for that. Even with him being 2 weeks post-op from a surgery, Jessyka’s veterinarian experience is priceless”
11. Kathryn & Jake S.
“Kathryn has cared for our dog and made him feel right at home. After leaving him in her care, he came home happy as can be. We’d continue to trust Kathryn to look after our Jett!”
12. Tiffany E.
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs my whole life, we currently have a husky/german shepherd, lab and two cats at home. I currently own a 7 month old puppy and a 2 year old cat of my own on island. I'm most familiar with cats and large dogs that have a lot of energy, as I like going on runs/hikes. Being a dog and cat momma of two younger animals, I understand the stress that can come with owning animals, and am here to tire them out! I’m currently working 9am-5pm, but am available anytime before work, after work and on weekends as needed. I’m pretty flexible with schedule outside of work. My puppy is vaccinated and gets along with other dogs if you wish to have your dog socialized :) All pets will be monitored 24/7, with updated photos/check ins to allow you to feel at ease that your fur baby is in good hands!
13. Sidney S.
“She’s so loving and caring and took amazing care of my dogs. She makes me feel super comfortable about leaving my babies with her. Amazing”
14. Tricia F.
“She's great with animals of all kinds, and does her research if she's unsure of something. There's no one I trust more with my pets.”
