“Jill and Sean were great with our dog Harley. Harley loved her time there and it was great having Sean and Jill keep us updated on how Harley was doing during her stay. They both sent pictures daily which was always welcome as our kids loved seeing some of the things Harley was up to while she was away from us. We definitley will be looking forward to Harley staying with Jill snd Sean for future trips.”

“I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”

He is an active foxhound and enjoyed daily walks, playtime, and running around in Joyce's large, fenced back yard. He also enjoyed sharing the home with Joyce's sweet dogs. Our dog has fears (noises, some vehicles and large dogs) and can react strongly to them. Joyce made sure that he was safe. We are so grateful to Joyce and look forward to utilizing her help when we travel again!”

Thank you Jackson for taking such good care of my pets on such short notice. What a great place for the pups to stay. Enclosed backyard gave them the freedom they need but Jackson also followed my instructions on not having the dogs off leash as they have a bad habit of taking off. Will definitely use Jackson again when the pets need a place to stay.

Natalie always takes amazing care of my dog. He has stayed with her many times and is always happy to go visit. She will treat your dog like one of her own. My dog is a rescue and gets anxious with change but he is very willing to go with Natalie, instead of being nervous that I am leaving. Natalie provides as many updates as you need. I know that my dog is always in good hands and well taken care of when I am away. Having that peace of mind is a great feeling while traveling

We had a wonderful experience with Alice! Her house is very neat and full of points of interest. My cat didn’t fully adjust to the resident cats, but she had a loving, safe room with lots of points of interest. A huge window, two cat trees, a space under and on the couch, toys, and so on.

Ivy did a fantastic job caring for my dog Zuko, and the whole experience was amazing! Before the sit even started, she took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Zuko's routine, play style, care needs, and personality. You could tell right away how much she genuinely cares. Zuko is high anxiety and usually wary of strangers, but he and Ivy bonded instantly. He loves her! Throughout our time apart, Ivy was incredibly communicative, sending photos and daily updates so I always knew how his day went. She truly goes above and beyond to make both Zuko and me feel comfortable. This was my first time being away from Zuko, and Ivy's care and attentiveness put me completely at ease. I can't recommend her enough. We'll absolutely be booking with her again! Thank you, Ivy!!
