“Ashley was amazing as always! We never have any doubts that our Harley is in the best hands when we drop her off. Ashley is great at sending photos/ updates which we appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”
“Erica was available to watch Atticus on super short notice and helped me out in a pretty tough spot. Atty is comfortable at her place and gets lots of play time! We are super grateful to have found Erica for both daycare and boarding!!”
“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”
“Whitney took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the week. She provided consistent pictures and updates throughout the week and really did put our minds at ease. We will book her again!”
“Katherine saved me with my last minute booking! She was very responsive and settled my anxieties around having my senior dog with tummy issues. She gave me updates while in my trip and was flexible when my travel plans changed! Your dog is in great hands with Katherine!”
“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”
“My dog Copper had such a good time during his week of boarding with Sijie and Cameron! He took to them immediately during the meet and greet, and I could tell right away I would be leaving him in the most loving, capable hands (and laps!). While I was away, I received lots and lots of pictures of their daily adventures, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. It was obvious that Copper wasn’t just being taken care of, he was having a blast and loving every minute! I came back to a happy, relaxed dog who had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking Sijie again!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Christine and Steven! They were generous in setting up a meet and greet as this was our dog’s first time staying with them. They are caring and responsive, and we really appreciated the photos and updates about our pup!”
“Boogie loved his stay with Trish and Kevin! We are so very thankful for them. They provided great updates and photos for us, we would definitely recommend them and Boogie can’t wait for his next stay. Thanks so much Trish and Kevin!”
“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”
“Once again, Holly and her family were GREAT with Murphy. Her patience, care and concern cannot be beat - we're so fortunate to have found such a wonderful "home-away-from-home" for our Murphy. Thank you again, Holly! Mary”
“Beverly took wonderful care of our very energetic 7 month old puppy! She was a wonderful communicator, providing pictures and activity summaries daily. She made sure our dog got a lot of outside exercise time and was eating/drinking enough. We will definitely board our dog with Beverly again!”
“What an AMAZING experience. Zack was so great with Scotty and made him feel so comfortable. Zack is now Scotty's favorite - we will be rebooking agian soon! Highly recommend if you want someone who truly cares about your best friend! Thank you Zack!”
“Five stars..... Dan looked after our rather unruly, young Giant Schnauzer for 5 days. Dan was clear on all communications and asked pertinent questions about how Jack interacts and any behavior issues/history prior to our arrival. He welcomed Jack immediately into his home, asked more questions about him and his routine and clarified simple house rules, which I appreciate. Dan took Jack out on a walk immediately after we left and kept him busy for the extent of the stay. We received pictures nearly daily (though short videos would be great:) but I didn’t request them and the pics we looked forward to. Jack was his happy and usual unruly self when I picked him up... I’ve already planned our next stay for Jack in Dan’s home. Dan is an easy going guy, clear and quick to reply to texts, he works at home and tolerated my dog w/ ease:)! Enough said. Thanks Dan and great work!”
“Roger That had a wonderful time with Gabe and Greta! Gabe was extremely accommodating and communicative. I got lots of great pictures showing a very happy Roger That! On our walk today, Roger That saw Gabe and Greta, and ran to see them! Tonight he tried to enter Gabe's building to see them again! It's wonderful knowing Roger That has somewhere he enjoys staying when I can't be with him. Thank you Gabe and Greta and cat!”
“Evita was absolutely amazing. This was my first time leaving my pupper without family for over a week and we couldn’t be happier with the care. I got pictures of him smiling everyday, he was getting the zoomies, sleeping tummy up, and all the things that show a dog is happy. Super reliable communication, happy to do a meet and greet, and understanding with all of our questions. Couldn’t recommend more!!”
