“Melissa took amazing care of my dog, ensuring he had plenty of exercise, play time, and snuggles during his weekend stay. Her place is set up perfectly for hosting pets, and she is very warm and knowledgeable. I received frequent updates throughout my dog's stay. I would not hesitate to work with Melissa again!”
“Nathan, Jacqueline and their children, along with their "pup" Charlie, were the most welcoming hosts we could have hoped for! Our Levi and Junior are admittedly on the higher-maintainence side and their family took it all in stride. We met with them prior to committing to the hosting in order to make sure the dogs were compatible and to discuss Levi and Jr's needs. It was a very comfortable and easy meeting. We left the initial meeting feeling very comfortable. When the time came to leave our fur babies, Nathan reassured us our pups would be fine. While we were away, we received daily updates with pictures that showed our pups were doing fine and having fun ! The kids took them for walks, and Jr found a new friend in their pup Charlie. When we came to pick them up, they were healthy and happy. It was wonderful to be able to go on vacation knowing Levi and Jr were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Nathan and Jacqueline and their family to host the dogs of friends and family without reservation! If we need to leave our pups again, we would would not hesitate to leave them with Nathan and Jacqueline (if they would agree, if course)! THANK YOU, E. FAMILY, for your wonderful care of Levi and Junior!”
“DeAysia is the best boarder. She took great care of my highly anxious and wounded baby( 4 yr labradoodle). She handled him and his doc visits exceptionally well. He quickly adjusted to her and always seemed happy for 3+ weeks. She kept sending his pics and videos every day which helped me have a worry free vacation.Also, the fact that she has centenary experience is assuring. I would continue to go back to her for my boy and highly recommend her for worry free and happy boarding?”
“If I could give more stars I would! Chelsey and her family were great with Linus! She sent me pictures and updates daily. We had to leave town early due to bad weather and she was willing to accommodate with an early drop off! On pickup, she gave Linus a sweet little note with a bag of treats. How sweet! Linus whined when he left her house! Chelsey really went above and beyond and I felt so comfortable leaving my furry family member with her and her fam. Thanks Chelsey!”
“Lola and her family took awesome care of my pups Daisy and Marley. My dogs weren't used to being away from home so they took great care to help them adjust and make them feel comfortable in their home. Lola sent updates and pics throughout my dogs' stay. I definitely recommend Lola!”
“Jenelle & her family took incredible care of our senior dog Rosie. We were visiting from out of town and looking for a local stay for our dog. Jenelle was great at coordinating with us. We started off with a meet & greet in her yard with her dogs. She let Rosie explore the yard and then meet the dogs one at a time. By the time we were on our way, we felt confident that our dog was going to have the best time ever. Jenelle sent lots of pictures and updates that showed that our dog wasn't just visiting, she was having an epic vacation of her own. Jenelle's yard is huge and set up for dogs to explore, play & nap. We brought Rosie's bed with her but it seems like she was happiest parked on the couch with the family. We have young kids as does Jenelle and we were so touched by the extra attention Rosie got. Overall, the stay was a great mix of active play time, relaxation, and lots of love. We would definitely book Jenelle for another stay in the future!”
“Congenial sitter with admirable conduct & disposition, performing over and above the routine services. Our dog appeared to enjoy being in her care. Thanks again”
“Kayla is a real treasure! Her home was spotless and she and her family were great with our dog. She sent us daily updates along with pics, which we loved. As an abandoned rescue, we were concerned about how he'd handle a long boarding but Kayla settled him right away. She welcomed our quick visit in the middle of the stay. Thank you Kayla!”
