“Candy is flexible and reliable. She took very good care of my dog while we were on vacation. She is patient and communicative. Riley has diabetes and she took extra care to make sure he didn’t spike or crash. She sent pictures and updates. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing she had my furman!”
“If you want to be certain your dog is happy and loved while you’re away, then they are the right people to hire. I received daily photos/videos and their communication was excellent. Thank you so much for caring for Elsie so well!”
“Barbra and her family were the BEST decision we ever made!! We just got a dog and had a trip we could not cancel (scheduled before we got a dog) and were nervous about what to do. Choosing Barbra made everything so perfect. She was so attentive caring and kind, treated our dog as if it was her own. In fact i think our dog and her dog are new BFFs now ?. We got updates, pics and videos while we were gone to take all the nervousness away…she’s the absolute best, with a fantastic yard for the dogs to play. I don’t think our dog wanted to leave!! It was like a vacation for him too lol. Highly recommend Barbra and will definitely use again!!!”
“I’m very happy I found Rita. This was a last minute decision and it worked out very well. Princess was very well cared for while at Rita’s. Princess will be a repeat client for sure”
“My Frenchies are my children: there is nothing more important to me in this world. I have never left them with anyone (Henry almost 2; Sammy 1). I combed Rover for 5 hours over the course of a few days and serendipitously landed on Jen's profile. I was SOLD after our "Meet and Greet." You can just feel how special Jen is when you meet her. Jen was in constant communication with me; staying with her was basically a vacation for my boys; she sent me #allthephotos; she updated me multiple times a day; she made sure my special needs baby got all the special attention he requires; and when I picked the boys up my little Sammy was still watching Jen as we were about to leave. I know that he misses her, and that makes me so happy that she bonded with him that way. Listen. All my future trips - work or professional - will be planned around Jen's availability. Simply put, she is an amazing human being whose passion is caring for animals.”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Totiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”
“I have to say this with a warm heart that I absolutely agree with the other reviews. Latoya was professional, and kind. When BJ entered her home, I knew that I didn't have to worry about him. Latoya is amazing. I can't wait to book with her again.”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
“I highly recommend Beth. This was the first time away from my fur baby and she gave me so many updates every day throughout the day to put me at ease. I loved watching all the vids of my pup playing with the other dogs and seeing daily pictures! I literally drove two hours because she is more qualified than the people around my area. And I would rather drive far to ensure my pup has a great experience, than drive 20 min and leave my pup with someone inexperienced. Beth is SUPER kind and is passionate about animals! She knows what she’s doing and I trust her completely. My pup had so much fun with Beth and I would 100% make the drive again next time. Thank you so much!!”
“Our Pippa enjoyed her lengthy stay with Andres! Andres kept in contact to let us know Pippa was doing well and gave us a great outbrief when we picked her up. Thank you, Andres!”
“Lindsey took care of Sydney for a night. When I was there to drop off, the kids and the family welcomed Sydney and made her comfortable. Lindsey provided frequent updates which I greatly appreciate. Sydney had a great stay at Lindsey's.”
“This is my second overnight stay with Claudia. Excellent boarding service for my dog. He is in great care with Claudia. We love her level of service with Killian. Changed his sweaters, play time, personalized photos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.”
“Marissa was fantastic with my dog!! She kept me updated with photos and texts about how well they were getting along. Marissa was very accommodating and asked all the right questions about my dog's care when i booked her the first time. I could tell she took great care of my buddy while i was away. Loved the extra touches she did with the paw prints and necktie! I definitely would recommend her! She will see repeat bookings from me for sure!”
“Chelsea was a great she took excellent care of our dog. Sent us regular pictures and videos. We would definitely use her again. Chito seem to enjoy his time there very much.”
