Everything went well with Cara's 1st overnight stay. No issues were reported back to me. I will be leaving her with Jose again next weekend for a week. He sent a picture of Cara hanging in his back yard. Thanks again.

I had an amazing experience with Rick! He took exceptional care of my dog and treated him like his own. He was reliable, communicated regularly with updates and photos, and made sure all his needs were met.

Elliot and Dominique were the absolute best caregivers for our sweet 12 year old pup! We never once worried about her care while we were out of town for a week over Thanksgiving. They sent updates twice daily and pictures. We can tell by how relaxed our pup was when returned that she had a wonderful stay with them. We are so grateful to have found Elliot and Dominique!

Ada and Michele are very nice, professional and dog loving and caring two women. Austin and bI are very fortunate to find the m and I am very happy to leave my beloved Austin with them. They are very caring, attentive and dog loving people. Austin was very happy with them and I choose them anytime I needed future dog sitting. They are also very attentive and watched every aspect of Austin’s needs. During my vacation I was worry free with a feeling that Austin is in good hands. Thank you so much Ada and Michele. You guys are the best and Austin is lucky.

Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.

This review is long overdue! My dog Cooper and I moved out of the Rochester area, but while we were living there Danielle and her mom were the only ones we trusted to watch him! He loved staying at their house and always came back home happy and healthy. They cared for him like he was their own. And he got along well with their dogs. Cooper misses you guys!
