“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”


“Our nearly 5 week trip was made possible by Connie’s loving and responsible care of our small dog who has some health issues, which she diligently worked around. We enjoyed the frequent text and photo updates she sent. It’s clear that she adores the dogs she watches! Until next time… woof!”



“Deanne took wonderful care of our dog at her house while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and messages to see how she was doing. I would recommend her to any pet owner and will certainly be using her in the future. Thank you for a great stay!”


“June was a fantastic sitter for our two pups while we were away! She was so communicative and sent pictures a few times every day so we could see how happy they were. One of our dogs is deathly afraid of thunderstorms and she comforted him throughout the night. She also took them on several walks, which they absolutely love and brought our pups back home when our flight was delayed and the timing became an issue. I 100% recommend June -she treated our dogs like her own!”


“Kathleen is a knowledgable, friendly, and extremely competent Dog Boarder ... very aware of my dogs needs and wants ... She did an amazing job of keeping me informed during my dogs recent 4-day stay ..highly recommend Kathleen .....just outstanding service ..... thanks Kathleen .......Travis Williams”


“Our pups had a blast running around Victoria's large spacious yard with her friendly pup. She has the perfect set up for watching dogs. With her calm demeanor, I was quickly at ease leaving my dogs with her. She provided the perfect amount of updates and videos while we were away. We will definitely be rebooking.”



“Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!”


“This is our repeat boarding with our delightful and energetic pup. Carolyn took care of River very well and took a lot of outdoor walks with her. Her home set-up and location close to a forest preserve, nature path and pond, are perfect, as River loves the outdoors. We feel reassured leaving our dog with Carolyn as it is somehow a treat and a home away from home for River.”


“Kelli is a devoted dog lover who took excellent care of my 11 year old frenchy for a couple of nights. Some medication was required and Stevie sleeps in bed with me. Her medication was no issue for Kelli and she allowed Stevie to sleep with her which was so appreciated. Kelli works from home which is a real benefit when caring for Stevie. We greatly appreciate Kelli and her efforts on behalf of Stevie. We are already booked for our next trip with Kelli 🐾🐾”



“Angela (and her husband Dave) took such good care of Zoe! This was our first time leaving Zoe with someone else and they really made it easy for us. She sent us pictures often and sent me updates on Zoe. She really made me feel at ease! We’ve already booked another stay over the holidays.”


“Another great stay for our Penny! Debbie is so good at sending pics and keeping us updated on how Penny is doing while we’re away so we have total peace of mind.”


“Fantastic dog sitter! I picked up my poodle after a week and I can tell he had a great time and was very happy. Alejandra sent me photos every day and her entire family was enthusiastic to host my dog for the week and was involved. Great sitter!”


“John and Louis are wonderful dog sitters! We never worry about our dogs when they're in their care. They send frequent updates and pictures, administer all meds, and give our dogs lots of attention. One of our dogs has become a very reluctant eater in her old age but John and Louis are both patient and creative about getting her to eat. I am so grateful to have them as our dog sitters!”


“Melody was an absolute blessing and we could not have happier! She took us as a last minute booking, as our normal sitter was unable to take our dog. Sadie has never stayed with someone she didn’t know before and Melody made her and us feel very comfortable. She kept us updated with pictures and texts. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you again Melody for taking care of our anxious girl and treating her like your own!”


“Danielle went above and beyond in caring for my two dogs. Upon meeting, it’s clear the whole family loves animals. Danielle is very responsive, and I received lots of updates and pictures of them on walks, playing in the backyard and resting peacefully in the house. I’m grateful I found a place to leave my dogs knowing they will enjoy their stay and be included in activities!”


“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”
