“Candace and Ryan were great! My Snuggles returned home happy and healthy. Candace was responsive, sent photos and updates daily. I needed a little extra time to get back from a road trip and she accommodated me with no problem. I highly recommend them for your boarding needs.”

“This was my second time booking with Iman and she’s been great both times. She’s professional, friendly, and took great care of my baby. She sent lots of pics, and she even gave her a bath. She smells like candy :) I will rebook again with her and I highly recommend her.”

5. Jesus D.

“Buddy loved being at Jose’s house!! He was treated extremely well. I had to fly to FL for a funeral and Jose was able to not only pick Buddy up, but also dropped him off home when I returned. I think he got more exercise than he has in years (he’s 15!). Jose sent me pictures updating me on how he was doing. I will definitely use Jose’s services again. Thanks so much!!”


6. Marchauna B.

“Marchauna and Jumari was nothing shorter than AMAZING while they care for my dog. My fell in love with Jumari at first sight. How she gravitated toward him, it was if she already knew him. Thank you two for caring for her. I’m ABSOLUTELY sure she will be back.”

“Our Daisy had a great time at her overnight with Bridget. Bridget was great to work with, excellent communication and sent lots of pics/videos. Definitely recommend.”


8. Jenevieve R.

“My service request was last montane she accommodated me. My dog normally doesn’t eat with baby sitters but he ate with her after the 2nd booking. I was also late picking him up due to unforeseen circumstances and she accommodated!!! Her communication was great and I highly recommend!!! She is my first pick.”


9. Katie & Nick B.

“Katie and Nick were so great at keeping us updated with photos and videos of Harley. Their pups got along great with ours and look forward to reaching out to them again in the future! Highly recommended!!”


10. Bola A.

“I have two small 8-year-old dogs. They spent 10 days with Bola. Bola was great, she clearly puts her heart into this job. She sent pictures every two or three days. The living room has a clean wooden floor. The small fenced grassy yard is perfect for small dogs to run and sniff around. Bola even delivered the dogs to my home at the end of their stay (a 15-minute drive). I warmly recommend her service.”

“Katherine was great last time my little ones needed a place to stay for a few days while out of town. Received messages and pictures daily with updates. Thank you to Katherine for your care.”

“Toya answered promptly every time. My dog seems to have enjoyed her time and to have been well taken care of. I would recommend her to other dog owners.”


14. Tonisa J.


“Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!”


15. Kamiah & Casius D.

“Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!”


16. Latasha P.

“We had a great experience. Would definitely book again.”

18. Sheree H.

“Sheree helped me rest assured that Sammy was well-taken care of. She identified issues and shared progress throughout his stay. She shared pics that let me know he was adjusting well and gave updates on his sleeping and eating habits. I hate to leave my puppy, but loved leaving him in her care!”


19. Amyna L.

“Amyna was great with mine and my boyfriend’s puppy. She kept me updated with pictures and was very active with the puppy.”
