7. Heather & Norman R.
“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”

16. Zachary S.
“Our Colby boy was one happy pup enjoying his weekend with Zach and family and his new friend Dani. They had a huge fenced in yard so Colby got plenty of outside fun time (his fave), they went on a hike and even snuggled on the couch. I had never booked a dog sitting service before and to be honest, I was a wreck about it until we did a meet and greet and saw what a great setup they had and what animal lovers they were. We felt so comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and the pics I received all weekend made me one happy momma to see how my boy was doing. Thank you for a great experience! We will definitely be booking again!”
17. Allison Nicole M.
“Monty had a great time at Allison’s. He wasn’t adventurous enough to try the pool, but it’s nice that it was an option! She sent regular photos and updates which were appreciated. We’ll definitely book again!”
18. Angie E.
“Angie was great and flexible. We had a few changes with times and she was very understanding. She took great care of my babies and I would hire her again if i need someone.”
19. Monica
“Monica took care of our 12 years old golden retriever. Unfortunately our dog had a seizure during the stay and Monica did great. She called me right away and because she couldn’t reach me she called our vet right away to receive instructions. Thank you so much Monica for taking care of Nara at least for a few hours.”
20. Erin B.
“Erin was amazing. Our dogs got full attention and lots of exercises. She walked them 4-5 times a day and sent us updates throughout the day. We’re very happy that our babies were getting all the loves and attention they needed. I highly recommend Erin for everyone. Thank you Erin! ☺️”
