I have no words to describe how amazing Sanika and her boyfriend are! My pup didn’t want to leave their house when we pick him up! She updated me through out the day and he seemed to be having a lot of fun. She even gave him a bath on his stay. Will recommend Sanika with my eyes closed! Thanks so much Sanika!

I was extremely nervous about leaving my puppy with someone for the very first time ever, however Corey made this over night stay very easy and stress free! He was very calm with Chico which made it this experience so awesome! Chico had a ball! All hands down I would recommend Corey!

I usually never leave reviews, but Julie and Kenneth have been the best thing to happen to us for puppy care. We were updated often throughout the day and throughout the duration of our Tater Tot's stay. I love that our puppy was able to have a playmate to socialize with and learn from, even while he was away from us and his usual training. It really broke my heart to leave him for the first time while on vacation, but now I don't feel the slightest bit nervous about leaving him with them for future vacations and I know Tater is also anticipating his next stay to see his little friend! He is definitely in great hands!

Left our baby dogs with Orly & Omar. They sent pictures and treated them just like family. We’ve never used a boarding home before just boarding centers. They usually hate to go and are so sad while we are gone. Can’t wait to use Orly & Omar again. They sent pictures and communication daily, which was much appreciated.

Genevie did such a wonderful job with our dog Crockett. She sent us pictures multiple times a day, kept us in the loop on his activity and kept him super active. Plan to have her sit for us again in the future!

I don’t think there is enough space here for me to compliment Marina enough! Her patience and and attention to care, to dogs as well as their humans, can’t be beat. As a new dog mom to a higher maintenance adolescent pup, both my dog and I had lots of needs and questions. Marina attended to them all with 100% positivity and enthusiasm. Her love for what she does is apparent and I very much hope to be a repeat client.

Shelby is such an awesome spirit! I got called into work and she took my Golden Retriever Lilly last minute and made her feel right at home. Im very picky about who watches my fur baby. But after meeting her I was certain my Lilly would be loved and spoiled like I would treat her and she did. Shelby has a sweet dog named Wrangler and they hit off very well. She sent pics and vids all day showing my doggy having a great time chilling with her. I look forward to booking her more in the future.

"I recently had foot surgery on both feet and needed someone to take care of my two dogs for nine days. That's when I found Stephanie, and I'm so glad I did! Stephanie is an animal lover, and my dogs had a blast staying with her and her family. They were well-loved and cared for, and I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was recovering. Stephanie is a kind, trustworthy, and responsible person, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Thank you, Stephanie, for taking such great care of my furry friends!"

Ari was wonderful! I went out of town and she had both of my doodles for 4 days. Her communication was great, she sent me updates and photos consistently, and anytime I needed to check up on them she was quick to respond. This was my first time being away from my dogs and she really made it feel like they were at home with the family. We would without a doubt book her for dog sitting again.
