“Kordula and family took our pup into their home and treated her like one of their family. She sent pictures every day and we felt so happy and comfortable with her staying there. She was amazing!”
“Lauren was amazing with my girl! I loved getting daily pictures as well as her communication during Daisy’s stay. This was the first non family member that has watched Daisy and I felt so at ease with Lauren and her family! Thank you for loving my girl so much!!”
“Both Bicky and her partner were so welcoming and energetic, they maintained their place so clean and have a huge fenced backyard, which is really good for dogs to run and play fetch. They treated Simba as their own dog. They took care of him really well, we received updates with photos during his stay. Simba came back home so happy, doesn’t seem like he missed us or home at all.”
“Canaan was clearly well-prepared from the start — she had read all my instructions and was already familiar with Stella's schedule when I dropped her off. She had even taken extra steps to puppy-proof her home to keep Stella out of off-limit areas. Throughout the stay, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and adorable photos, and was completely accommodating when we needed to adjust our pickup time. At pickup, Stella ran straight to Canaan for a goodbye snuggle and tummy rub — which says it all. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Paige was available to board my Husky pup "Kai" at the last minute over the 4th of July weekend which was extremely helpful. She was very accommodating and gave Kai lots of attention. Paige also sent updates and photos throughout the weekend which was fun! Kai had a great visit and was pretty whooped when I picked her up at the end. I would recommend Paige and would absolutely use her again.”
“Michelle and Jose were absolutely wonderful with our dachshund Mia! They accepted our last minute booking, which we were so grateful for, and took great care of her. From the beginning, they asked thoughtful questions about Mia's routine, personality, and preferences to make sure she would be as comfortable as possible. They've had dachshunds themselves, so they truly understand the breed and unique doxie quirks and needs. Throughout her stay, they sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mia came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Michelle and Jose to watch Mia again. We highly recommend them if you need care for your dachshund!”
“Bailey was fantastic! She was very accommodating to our last minute need for boarding. She was very communicative and sent many pictures! She kept our dog busy and happy. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing. I’ve never blindly selected a sitter for our dog before, and I was a bit nervous. However she exceeded all expectations and was acclimating to our dog’s walking schedule which included a 4am walk. I highly recommend her!”
“Your dog will be in great hands with Kaitlyn! She had excellent communication before and during my dog’s stay. Lots of photos and updates that were much appreciated! I hope to use her again soon.”
“Mia was great. She boarded my cat Payton while I went on a family vacation for a week. I was very nervous leaving Payton and she made me feel comfortable and provided daily updates. She was very patient with Payton and me. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“I honestly don't know what we would have done without Cheryl and Wally. Gemma was so sad the first day back from her stay. I can only hope Cheryl would be willing to take Gemma the next time. Thank you both for all your help and for taking such great care of our girl. XO ”
“Kara was amazing with my Bernese puppy! I received updates, pictures, and videos throughout the boarding. She was very accommodating when I had a flight delay and my puppy enjoyed her stay so much! Definitely recommend!!!”
“Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!”
“Benjamin was so great with Broly and we could tell that Broly felt very comfortable with him while we were out of town! We were a little nervous since this is the first time in years he’s being with a sitter for more than a few hours, but Benjamin gave updates and sent pictures. Thank you!”
“Kobe had an amazing time staying at Rosario's home! He came back happy, energetic, and clearly had a blast during his visit. You can tell he was well cared for and enjoyed every moment. Rosario provided excellent care in a comfortable home environment. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Rosario again – highly recommend for anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their pup!”

Canaan was wonderful! She watched my dog for 4 days and provided updates and photos daily. We had a flight delay and she was so kind in accommodating for our pickup time. When we picked up our dog, he seemed so happy with where he was and so comfortable. I would absolutely book her again and recommend to others!
We have boarded our two pups with Deanna several times now. She is great with them! They always come back happy and well cared for. She is very easy to communicate with and flexible with us as plans sometimes change last minute. Will continue to use and recommend her!!
Emily is fantastic with our Charlie. How do we know? Because every time we pull up to her home he starts barking and wagging, jumps out of our truck and trots right up her steps into the house like it’s home! We feel so fortunate to have found her and highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Gina! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dogs while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two happy pups and would definitely book with Gina again. Highly recommend!
This was my first time using Evan and Katie, and they were absolutely fabulous with Pax! They were able to take care of him for four nights on pretty short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I received updates throughout each day along with multiple pictures of their activities, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was very clear from the photos that Pax wasn’t just comfortable with them, he was genuinely having a great time. I’m so grateful for how well they took care of him and will absolutely be booking with Evan and Katie again!
Anna was amazing with my senior dog. I know my pup was comfortable because she ate her food consistently, and never eats for a day or two in unfamiliar environments. With Anna I know she was comfortable, safe, and had lots of fun. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!
Kayleen was amazing! She kept me updated on how my pup was doing and sent photos that made me feel so happy my puppy had someone caring and attentive to stay with. This was the first time we have used the boarding service and Kayleen was amazing! Highly recommended!
Yanke was wonderful and took such very good care of our dog. We will definitely use her again if we can. She was very loving and caring. Our dog was very happy and content when we picked him up, which is a sign of a good stay. Yanke was very consistent and considerate in communicating with us during out dog's stay, giving us daily updates and pictures. We felt good knowing that he was in good hands.
Parris is fantastic! This was my first time using a pet sitter for my new puppy, and she exceeded all expectations. She was incredibly organized, very communicative, and sent a good bit of picture updates. She also had no problem administering my dog's medication. My puppy had a great time!
