1. Rita T.

“Rita took great care of Toby. She checked in with us and sent pictures and videos. Normally, Toby is restless and paces and seems anxious when he comes home from staying. He was very chill and seemed just like normal when he came home from Rita's. We were very happy about that. We'll be taking Toby back to Rita's.”




2. Candice M.

“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!”

4. Jill & Thomas K.

“Jill and Thomas were great to work with! I knew after I met them that they would be a perfect choice for Charlie's stay! They were so kind, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Charlie came home a happy pup! I would absolutely use them again!”


5. Bella S.

“Bella is fantastic! You can tell she loves dogs and makes sure they get attention and love all day. She provides updates throughout the day which is so nice while traveling. We will definitely work with her again!”




6. Olivia R.


“Olivia is great! This was the first time she watched our over energetic dog and she did a great job. She kept us updated and our dog had lots of fun. Highly recommend her services and hope to use her again.”


7. Andres D.


“We have left Cooper with Andres several times now, and he has been very pleasant and accommodating from the first interaction. He sends picture updates throughout the stay, and is always sure to provide a "debrief" of the stay when we pick him up. Its very comforting knowing that if there is even the smallest thing, slightly out of the ordinary, Andres will pick up on it, and keep us informed. Cooper always seems to have a great time; whether it be running around with Lumpkin or any other dogs being boarded at the same time. We have been nothing short of pleased, and will continue taking Cooper to Andres. If you're looking for peace-of-mind boarding, look no further. Andres is top notch.”


8. Katie D.

“Our Ava stayed with Katie D and had an excellent time. We got daily feedback and pictures that made us feel better and Ava looked happy! We would definitely use Katie D again!”

10. Justin & Stephanie W.

“This experience was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with my dog, he is a larger dog and Stephanie and Justin made me feel so secure every step of the way, they treated malc like their own and I really appreciate everything they did for three whole days, I was never worried or wondering what was happening. They respond super quick and are literally the nicest people ever. They fenced in yard was a major plus and the communication is top tier, please please please send your dogs here. I promise they will be safe!”

“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”


15. Raelyn L.


“Raelyn and her family treated my dogs Mawz and Rubeus so wonderfully. I think Mawz would have been perfectly happy to never have come home. She has found furever friends with Raelyn! Rubeus was more "cautious," as Raelyn described him. We were kind of surprised because he is usually so ADHD, but we could tell that he'd also been treated extremely well. We so appreciated that Raelyn is obviously a lover of dogs and took good care of our fur babies. They had a great time and we will definitely be calling on Raelyn in the future!”


16. Carly B.

“Carly and her husband took great care of Chloe. They were attentive, kind and caring with our senior dog. We came home to a happy dog. Carly kept us updated and sent pictures. We will definitely have them take care of Chloe in the future and recommend her to others.”


17. Joseph G.

“Joseph kept us updated on how our dog was doing while we were away with tons of adorable photos and videos, making it clear he was having a blast. We could tell our pup was getting all the exercise he needed, thanks to Joseph's commitment to regular walks and playtime at the dog park. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in great hands!”


18. Kari & Jospeh M.

“I’m thankful for Kari & Jospeh’s family for loving and caring my baby like their own, it was stress free time during his stay we’re I don’t have to worry about how he is doing since he is in great hands. My boy would love to come back again,”


19. Kelly B.


“I searched for several months and many places looking for the right home-away-from-home for our dog, who has separation anxiety issues and is used to being with his people 24/7. Kelly put me at ease and I immediately felt that my dog was in a good place and would be well cared for. So thankful to have found Kelly!”


20. Janice K.


“Janice was awesome to work with. This was my first time leaving my sweet pup with anyone and she put my anxious mind at ease. I know Ginger was well taken care of, loved and happy. She clearly adores dogs and I would 100% recommend Janice. We will most certainly be using her again.”
