“Erica, Thomas, and their family were amazing to my sweet Kona! She’s a young GSP so she’s very active and high energy. She’s a great dog but not everyone can handle her energy level. They were great and immediately knew what to do with exercising and treating her like family. It helps that they have a big front lawn and had other dogs staying with them too! Kona made great friends judging from the pics. But most importantly, they went out of their way to be her dog handler for us on our wedding day. They made our special day even more magical by letting Kona participate in the ceremony as our dog of honor. She was tired for 2 full days after we picked her up! That’s a long time for a GSP. So grateful!”
“Our puppy had a great time staying at Brittany’s house for the day. I felt he was in good hands while we were gone for the day. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Brittany!”
“I've already re-booked! The entire process with Shannon was seamless, from the meet and greet which we did in advance to Spencer's first overnight! HIGHLY recommend. When we did the meet and greet, Shannon spent about and hour with Spencer and I, giving us the opportunity to see how he interacted with her daycare dogs as well as with her personal dogs. She has a huge, fenced in yard, which is very well gated off and contained. She took the time to get him used to her outdoor area, as well as her home. I was very comfortable knowing he would be safe, and well cared for. During his overnight stay, she texted me several times, with photos and let me know he was doing well. Spencer came home from his visit tired from playing with doggie friends, and well cared for. I have already booked future visits and I highly recommend!”
“Millie was well cared for by Catherine and her family. We had a weekend away and she was able to accommodate our drop off and pick up time slots. There were numerous photos which made us feel confident in her care. Great setting with a large yard and only other pet was their cat. Our spaniel does not always grt along with other dogs. Well done! Will viait again:)”
“I highly recommend Stephen! He was easy to work with, responsive and caring towards our pup Ginny while we were away. We got regular updates including pictures and videos. He was also flexible with drop off and pick up times which helped reduce the overall stress of traveling. We look forward to having Ginny visit him again soon!”
“Our pup was in great care with Elisa and her family for a week while my family and I traveled. Elisa provided updates showcasing our pet’s happiness, comfort, and playfulness in her home. After sharing that our dog has congenital knee issues, Rob, her partner, even installed another step on their dog ramp for our dog to climb up comfortably. We hope to rebook with Elisa again when needed!”
“Karen was amazing with my dog Nico. She sent lots of updates and pictures and took such wonderful care of him. She treated Nico like her own dog, and it was clear from the beginning that he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Forest this weekend. It means the world to us knowing he was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Your kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the time and attention you gave him. We truly appreciate you and feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our furry family member. With heartfelt thanks, Dave and Ana”
“We’ve had Kristin watch our dogs every time we go away for two years and would never book with anyone else. She is amazing. Takes amazing care of them, sends photos and updates and is great at communication and flexibility. I could not recommend her more.”
“Torie was amazing ! Can't thank her enough for watching my dog Jax for 10 days ! Torie provided excellent communication and plenty of photos from Jax's stay. Would highly recommend to all”
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!”
“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
