“We can’t thank Cynthia enough! Archie loves staying at her place and he truly gets a vacation everytime we go out of town! When we had multiple flight cancellations and delays Cynthia helped us figure out a way to get our dog home safe. She even dropped him off for us and had his food and water set at our house so we could go straight home from the airport! 100% recommend Cynthia for everything!!”

“It was EXTREMELY hard for me to leave Mia, (my little goldendoodle) with a sitter for our family vacation. Mia was never left alone, and is always home with me. After doing A LOT of research, I decided to book a reservation with Tory (Rina). It was so hard to leave Mia, my daughter and I actually cried saying our goodbyes. Rina was so compassionate and reassured us that she would be just fine. Mia’s 6 day stay with this amazing family went extremely well. We received pictures, updates, and comments every single day. Mia was loved unconditionally by this family. They treated her as if she was their pet. They sent pictures of her cuddling, eating, playing etc…. When I picked up Mia, she was very content, clean and healthy. Rina was ready to shed a tear when she said goodbye to Mia. I highly recommend this family, and I will definitely use them in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would :)”
“She is really awesome! It is my first experience and my dog needed boarding immediately because of my business travel. but she responded very quickly even if I requested about 7am. It was very appreciated. She also has a dog and cat. They were very nice to him.( Thank you guys!) Her house condition was good enough for boarding dog. Clean and organized. I am so happy to find perfect place at once. I think I am lucky.”
“This was the first time we left our dog, Bruno, with Christina and will do it again when needed if she is available. She has a sweet disposition and took great care of him. She sent us pictures of Bruno to show us he was doing well. Bruno was happy to see us and I’m sure he would not mind spending time with her and her dog, Lilly, again in the future. Totally recommend Christina as a pet sitter if you need one!”
“Leo had a fantastic time! We very much appreciated the timely, consistent communication and photos/videos throughout the process. We’re so grateful for all the extra attention and care Leo had and he will definitely be returning!”
“I could not have asked for better sitters for our 10-month old puppy! Amy and her family went above and beyond to care for Jojo and ensure she had a great time while we were out of the country on a 10-day vacation. I can't thank them enough for giving us a worry-free vacation, with daily pictures and videos and hilarious updates. Not to mention Finley was the best boy and companion for Jojo! Amy cared about every detail prior to our departure to ensure Jojo was safe and well taken care of. We are so lucky to have found Amy and family (and Finley) and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
