She even put up with me acting like I was taking my kids to their first day of kindergarten crying like a baby. Thank you Jess and I look forward to working with you again.”

When I reached out to her about Biscuit staying over while we were away, she offered Biscuit and I stop to by for a quick visit ahead of time to make sure we were both comfortable with her staying for a week. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dogs as well. She sent outfits twice a day which was so sweet and kind of her to think about doing. She met any need or requirement I asked for. Biscuit will be visiting again next time we are out of town.”

“Jolene and Jeffrey were amazing with the dogs. Their house is gorgeous and their backyard was a doggie paradise that was completely fenced in so the dogs could play outside all day. My dogs both came home exhausted from playing and having so much fun. They also sent us tons of pictures throughout our vacation and kept us informed about how the dogs were doing. Incredibly nice people, would highly suggest booking with them! (Also they are still taking bookings despite the shut down, so hit them up for any of your doggie needs!)”

“Theresa and Adrian are THE BEST!!! My Mother and I were having a difficult time finding someone to care for our family pet dog Moses, due to people's schedule. We needed someone we could trust to care for Moses while we traveled to a family reunion. I had an excellent experience with Theresa and Adrian caring for my dog. They did an outstanding job ensuring my pet was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. They were very attentive, responsive, and showed genuine care and affection. My dog seemed relaxed and content, which is the biggest compliment I could give. I highly recommend Theresa and Adrian for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry friend! Thank you so very much! Vito Viviano The Prince 👑🍾⚘️”

From drop off to pickup and everything in between, we were always reassured and provided feedback along with pictures that we were still connected to our dog.

At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”

About: I have taken care of various types of dog babies across many states. I learn quickly about what a dog needs especially when factoring in weather. I work from home most days and run in the evening. Usually long distance runs are in the morning so not inconvenient for night stays. For my home, I have a very spacious dog park and closed in balcony. Also live close to the riverwalk for night walks. There is space in home for medium sized crates if necessary.

Lasya and her husband were both so kind, accommodating, and responsive throughout the entire process, from initial booking to pick-up at the end of the stay. My dog Willow was so well taken care of! He can be a little anxious sometimes and I was so happy to receive so many photos of him relaxing and enjoying his stay. They kept up with his eating and feeding schedule and gave him lots of attention. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely book them again. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABOVE & BEYOND ​If you are looking for a place to board your baby, stop scrolling right now. Seriously. You’ve found the best of dog boarding! ​Brandon doesn't just "watch" dogs—he basically invites them to a 5-star bootcamp where they also learn how to be the "Goodest Boys and Girls" in existence. ​Why your dog will love him (and you will too): * ​The Training Magic: The passion for training is real! * ​The Vibe: Most boarders are "drop-off and pray." Here? It’s pure love. * ​Best in Town: No competition. None. Zero. ​If you want your pup to have a better vacation than you're having, this is the spot. I’d give it 12 stars if Rover let me. Absolute legend! 🐾

Pallavi is an amazing sitter who cared for Rocket like her own. Rocket stayed with Pallavi and her husband over the weekend, and when we picked him up, he even walked us back to their doorstep! Needless to say, our puppy felt right at home. We highly recommend Pallavi as a sitter.

We left our dog Rory in the care of Miranda and Cameron for over two weeks while we were away on vacation. They provided us with updates on how she was doing while away, and they were also able to deal with a couple health issues that our dog was dealing with at the time. When we picked up Rory, it was easy to see that she was well taken care of in Cameron. We would definitely recommend using them for your dog sitting services and we look forward to reaching out to them the next time we need a dog sitter as well.

Michael was amazing with my little man, his updates made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving my puppy for the weekend knowing he was in such good care. He went above and beyond during my little man’s stay, working with me so well on the random things involved with puppy adjustment. The next time I need to have someone trustworthy and kind - I know exactly who to contact and look forward to him watching my dog in the future.

Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They’re a super communicative and genuinely kind couple — I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!
