Highly recommend! Our dog Leon had a recent spinal cord surgery so we were extremely picky about who we let care for him while we were on vacation. From first meeting Holly it was obvious that she was very sensitive to his needs and that putting his care first was her priority. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and had a safe home for Leon. Couldn't ask for a better experience. We will be using her again soon! Thank you Holly :-) Randy, Selina, and Leon

Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.

Lisa was very communicative, detail oriented and clearly cared very well for Dezzie. Her house was clean and safe, with a lovely yard. During her stay, Dezzie got all her medications, proper diet and plenty of exercise - and I received lots of photos! I think she probably had a more fun time away than I did! Lisa was also helpful and flexible about meet-n-greet, pick up and drop off times. Highly recommend, and will use her dog sitting services again!

Tammy was an exceptional dog sitter for our dog, Rusty. Rusty is very anxious and often struggles with meeting new people. Within the first day, it was clear that Tammy quickly earned his trust and love. We felt at ease during our trip that he was well cared for and happy. We appreciated her daily updates. 100% would recommend.

My pup had a wonderful stay with Amy B and I was able to fully enjoy my time away knowing that my little buddy was in good hands! Her house and yard and perfectly fit for a comfortable stay, and her two adorable dogs and wonderful family gave my little guy tons of attention. She even let my pup sleep in bed with her, since that is what he is used to with me. Amy kept me updated daily and even sent me photos! I highly recommend Amy for anyone who is looking for a home-away-from-home for their pet. I will absolutely be booking with Amy for every trip & overnight stay from now on, so happy that I found her!

Allen was awesome! He took great care of my dog. He sent me lot of videos and pictures, and he has a giant backyard where all the dogs can frolic. Haru was tugging on his leash the next day after the meet & greet because he was so excited. Definitely recommend Allen and would have him watch my dog again!

We had a wonderful experience with Madeline and highly recommend her! She took great care of our dog, Jayda, during a stressful time for our family and made the whole process so much easier. Madeline was communicative and sent regular updates with photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to get to know Jayda and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future! Thank you so much, Madeline!

Lily was in for a long stay while we were traveling in the UK. I could tell from the photos and interaction with Ron that she was happy and comfortable with her environment and I was never anxious about her care or well being. She probably got a lot more exercise than she does when she is at home and that's not a bad thing. I am very happy that I have found a great resource in Ron to help us take care of Lily when we cannot.

Christopher has a great yard for dogs to play in and I enjoyed the photos and videos he sent during our dog's stay with him. He seems insightful of dogs' communication and was able to handle our dog's protectiveness around meal times. I really appreciated Chris' communication and that there weren't a lot of other dogs there at the same time so I didn't have to worry about unknown dog group dynamics. I will gladly book with him again in the future.

Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.

Bryan watched our two dogs for a week and we would definitely use him again. This was the first time we've boarded one of our dogs since we rescued him and Bryan was great with him. He can be very reactive to other dogs and people and Bryan accommodated him so he was comfortable. Our other dog is older and enjoyed being able to chill on the couch. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were both well taken care of.

I highly recommend Houston if you're looking for great communication and a place for your pup to feel right at home. My dog left with him like they were already best friends, no looking back, and she seemed just as happy on the return. She'd go back again any time.

I did two back to back trips leaving my dog with Navjot and I couldn't be happier with how it went. Monty was so comfortable in his space and he was good with getting her outside and having time to explore. Navjot also was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates during her stays. I will definitely use Navjot again for any future trips.
