“Marsha and her girls were so good to Red! They sent us daily pictures showing us all the love he was getting and an update about how he was doing. We could tell that they were genuinely loving him and treating him like royalty. Will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Robb and his children did a fantastic job taking care of Lilly. She got plenty of exercise and lots of cuddles. Robb was very communicative. He sent pictures and updates every day. I felt better leaving her knowing she was being cared for so well!”
“Taylee was amazing with our dog. We had travel plans move up a week and she took on a puppy with hardly any notice. Our puppy was well taken care of and Taylee gave us updates daily. It allowed us to enjoy our trip and feel like our puppy was safe the entire time. Thank you!”
“Lindsey provided excellent, loving care for our sweet Snuggles while she cared for him from July 26-July 31st! He was part of a fun and vibrant family and very well taken care of.I would be happy to use Lindsey's service again and gladly recommend her to anyone with a boarding need who has a dog that can be trusted around other dogs and small children.”
“Wonderful experience for my dogs! Cynthia sent updates and pictures every day. It was obvious that my dogs were in loving and capable hands. I would definitely go back!”
“Nicole did such an amazing job taking care of our pup! She was in communication all day and sent pics and videos of what Miles was up to all day. He had the best time! Highly recommend.”
“OMG, I love these ladies! I've hated putting my dog in a kennel and finally found someone who treats my pup like one of their own! The first night I received a picture of Finn sleeping on Erin in a recliner. Who does that but someone who loves all dogs?? They have 4 smaller dogs of their own and my dog played with all of them like they were siblings. My dog is still a pup (7 months, Aussie Shepherd) and after our initial meeting I was a little worried they would reject her because she isn't really obedience trained, though house trained, and very destructive with anything she can get!) I love that their yard is double fenced in and they have the cutest doggy door ramp for them to come and go. Natasha and Erin sent me videos and pictures through her whole stay, which I appreciated. I will definitely use them again and again and so grateful they are only 5 minutes away from me. They are such a gem!!”
“Maddie and Sam make your dog feel right at home, they send a ton of updates with cute pictures and make sure your dog feels like it is their second home. They are our go to now!”
“Stephanie is so kind, understanding and down to earth. We have a super energetic lab and she took him in stride in a solo sitting. She sent me tons of photos and updates and I’ve never felt more confident in a sitter with our boy. Thank you so much Stephanie!!”
“Ashley was wonderful with Rudi. He had stayed with her a year ago and loved being on the farm and having other doggie friends, but he was a bit nervous this time -- probably my fault that I had not prepared him well enough. But luckily he met a high-energy friend who loved to chase him. AND Ashley's wonderful children all helped with the care of Rudi and they, too, gave me progress reports on how he did! I am very grateful that they were such good models for him to become more used to children! Ashley is worth her star boarder rating! Thank you so very much for such loving and wonderful care!”
“We love Kara! Thank you for watching our babies and giving them the care they need. Such a great family to leave our fur babies with while we are away. Couldn't ask for better care. Thank you!!!”
“Ally was awesome 👌!! She worked with our schedule even with some last minute changes on our end - she was a life saver. Indi came home happy and healthy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For sure going back when we need the extra help!”
“My dog stayed with Mark and Corrie for the first time yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier. He’s new to having a dog sitter and tends to be anxious, but they were absolutely wonderful with him. They were kind and patient, kept me updated, and really took the time to start building trust with him. I truly appreciate the care they showed and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time we have had ashtyn watch our dog and she’s done amazing each time! I know Samson is in good hands with them. She sends updates daily with photos which is always comforting! Would recommend.”
“Tyler was very communicative and seems to have a great system in place. Murphy came home happy and tired from playing with lots of dog friends. I appreciated the flexibility with drop off/pick up times, and Tyler brought everything out to the car when it was time to go home. Would recommend”
“Fluffy did very well staying with Carolina and her family! They took very good care with our dog who is 15 years old ❤️ They also have a nice set-up with a doggie door and yard. Would highly recommend!! Thanks again! 😊A+++”
“Avery took such great care of our dog and was so easy to work with. She sent us pictures and updates every day, responded to messages quickly and was easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely use her again.”
