“Reena is great! She was very sweet and patient with my anxious pup. I appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout the day. You can tell she really cares & is very attentive - I’ll definitely be a returning customer.”
“Emily was a great pup watcher of Snoopy. She provided very quick communication prior to and during the visit. Snoopy got a ton of attention and activity. They even took extra steps to ensure he ate his meals when he wasn't eating. We highly recommend Emily and wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch Snoopy again.”

“Ashley has been wonderful with Baxter. I have used her a couple of times now. The last time I dropped Baxter off, he didn't want to say goodbye to me. As much as it may have hurt my feelings, I know he was happy to stay with her. LOL”
“Patricia has been great! I’ve left her in care of our corgi a couple times now, and he seems to love it! Patricia is extremely patient with the dogs, and seems to really know her way around different breeds and how to tend to their needs. She does a great job sending you daily updates and keeping you at ease. Lastly she’s great with accommodating to your schedule, and in the event she can’t board your dog, she did an amazing job referring us to a back up sitter whom she highly trusts. Overall she does an amazing job making sure you feel like your pup is being loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Candi was extremely loving , caring and professional ! I was not an easy client , I left my 2 month old puppy with her and was very anxious ! She put up with me graciously ( I don’t know how she did it) and she took care of Oliver as if he was her own. She also adapted her schedule several times for me as we had flight change issues ! She sent tons of pictures and when she dropped off the items at my home Oliver went outside with me to pick them up and he smelled her and went looking around for her and sat on the front porch for a few minutes as if he were waiting for her to come back! ❤️ I would Highly recommend her for those of you who have smaller dogs and want them loved in a safe environment!!”

Will definitely book with him again next time I am out of town!”
“Here’s a great review for Desiree and her son: I can’t say enough good things about Desiree and her son! They took such amazing care of our fur baby, Ikaika, while we were away. From the start, they were warm, attentive, and truly treated him like part of their family. We received daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear that Ikaika was having the best time. They took him on plenty of walks, keeping him happy and active. Ikaika came back home relaxed and well cared for, and we could tell he was loved every step of the way. We’ll definitely be booking with them again—highly recommend!”
