“She was great with Capri! Got pictures every day and updates on how she was. Definitely recommend her. She made my first experience with boarding my dog very easy and a breeze.”
“Kim was awesome! She sent us so many pictures and updates throughout our dogs stay I felt so reassured that he was happy and having a good time! We will definitely be using Kim again and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a first time dog stay or even one who’s done lots before!”
“This is the second time I've used June and Wade. We had to add an additional day and thank goodness they were available! Another wonderful stay. Several pictures were sent. He really makes himself at home with them. Will definitely use them again!”
“Katie is an absolutely amazing sitter. She sends so many updates, so you won’t be worried about your fur babies at all. My two dogs spend 4 days with her and they were treated like royalty. Kathleen is so detailed, even giving me a record of their feeding times, potty time and play time etc. She kept them very entertained and brought them for plenty of walks and fun time at the dog park. If my dogs could talk they would tell me they didn’t miss me. Lol. I recommend booking with Kathleen, she knows how to take care of your dog and they will be in great hands. Definitely booking again. Rating beyond: 5/5.”

She did amazing work and I will absolutely be recommending her to everyone that I know!!!”
“Elizabeth took great care of Jaeger. She sent us pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing. Jaeger enjoyed exploring and playing fetch in her large back yard.

“Our dog Newman stayed with Debbie and her family for 8 days and they were wonderful. She sent pictures and communicated daily and I could tell from her pictures how happy Newman was. I would reccomend Debbie. Thank you again for taking such good care of our dog. I was able relax and not worry.”
“You want a second review? I already told you she was great with my dog, he had a fun time with her dogs and since he was recently adopted I was worried how he would do. He was fine when I picked him up!”
“Absolutely lovely working with Angela on taking care of our pup, Izzy.

Butterscotch and Lucky are super sweet and I think Izzy really loved having some buddies to spend time with! Would definitely recommend.”
“Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!”
