“Erin is a conscientious and loving sitter. She sent pictures and messaged me back right away. I believe Molly was very well taken care of by Erin. I will certainly have her watch Molly again.”


2. Bennet A.

“I completely trust bringing my dogs to Bennet,s home! She sends lots of pictures and videos to show not only the fun they’re having, but that they’re eating and going outside regularly. It’s a real comfort to know that they’re being treated so well. My dogs love going here!”

“Kathy had our fur boy for a week while we were out of the country. He became sick and she had to take him to the vet. She took very good care of him and kept us informed! Thanks again!”


4. Jeanne H.


“Couldn’t recommend a better person to watch your dog. My dog played well and was well taken care of. I was provided with many updates and pictures.”




5. Edward M.

“We appreciated Ed's desire to speak by phone prior to booking since we were unable to do a meet and greet beforehand due to the distance between us. On arrival, Laura welcomed us and Misty quickly settled in due to Laura's gentle nature. Laura carefully listened as we reviewed our written instructions. The backyard is dog heaven, and it is clear to us that Misty received excellent care and attention while at Mac's Retreat. Ed sent us text updates with photos, and they were also flexible about drop-off and pick-up times, which we needed. Thank you, Ed and Laura, for your fine service! We will remember you if our travels take us to your area again.”

“I am SO HAPPY we found Larissa! She is sweet, easy to talk with, and most importantly, amazing with Carini! She loved staying with her for a week. Larissa sent me updates and pictures every day and I could tell how great of a time my girl was having. Safe to say, we'll be doing some daycare days in the future so she can see them again ??”
