1. Donnie P.


“Donny took such great care of my puppy Jax while I was on international travel. When I went to the meet and greet before, current clients who were there for training were singing his praises so I knew we were in good hands. While away, he sent me a handful of adorable videos showing Jax playing with the other dogs. I am so glad I found Donny and wouldn't hesitate to ask him to watch Jax again in the future. Thank you!!”


2. Mikayla & Alen W.


“Mikayla and Alen were amazing and so accommodating. Our pup enjoyed a fun weekend with them. They were very flexible about pick up and drop off and they sent frequent updates. You won’t regret using them for your dog sitting needs! We will definitely be back.”




3. Robert M.


“I am a pet owner who was seeking a sitter who could match the level of care that I would provide for my dog. Bob is an excellent dog sitter who loves your pet as his own. I received pictures while my dog was staying at Bobs house to ensure me that Basil was safe and happy. Basil has stayed with Bob numerous times and each time he runs up to the front door wagging his tail. That tells me that he feels very comfortable being with Bob. Their little dog Milo also helps your pet feel at home by welcoming them in to his space.”


4. Ann T.

“Ann was a wonderful sitter. I needed last minute arrangements over the Christmas holiday and she was a perfect fit. My French bulldog isn’t great with strangers but made himself right at home with Ann. I never felt uncomfortable with his stay. Unfortunately, prior to his stay, my dog scratched his cornea. Ann was wonderful and brought him to the emergency vet and administered eye medication after the fact. I couldn’t have wished for a better sitter and would 100% recommend / book Ann again. A true dog lover!”


5. Karen S.

“Karen was great with our dog, Bolton! She made him feel at home with her dogs and other dog in her care. We appreciate her kindness in helping Bolton to acclimate, as he can sometimes be nervous when going to new places. We're excited for Bolton to visit Karen again soon!”


6. Jessica M.

“Jessica is amazing! Our senior Jack Russell stayed with her for the first time this past weekend and loved it! Within the first hour of dropping our girl off, Jessica was already sending updates on how she was settling in. Though our pup is old she still has loads of energy and was taken to the local trails to walk for a couple miles. Jessica was very communicative throughout the stay, letting me know if she has eaten, done well on walks, etc. I would absolutely book with Jessica again!”


7. Heather B.


“Heather was wonderful with our dog and he seemed to have a great weekend staying with her. She was quick to respond to messages and gave us daily updates on how our pup was doing. Overall we were very comfortable leaving our dog with Heather and would be happy to recommend her to anyone needing good care for their pup!”


8. Mercis B.


“Mercis was so great with Connor for the two weeks he was with her. She even went above and beyond and helped with some behavior training too! I’d definitely put Mercis at the top of my list for future boarding stays.”


9. Mimi C.

“Mimi was very wonderful with my Oreo will definitely recommend and will bring him again.”




10. Damaris G.


“This is my 2nd time with Damaris and she is outstanding! I love that I get occasional pictures of my puppy throughout the day while I'm gone on vacation. Damaris stays home all day so your dog gets supervision 24/7 and that's also a great peace of mind. I will always leave my dogs with her anytime I'm away. She's exceptionally great :) ”
