“Thank you for the last minute booking. My mind is always at ease when Bonnie takes care of my pups. They sleep with her in the bed and have some pretty good cuddle sessions. She is the only choice for me. Doggie angel!!!”
“Pat is a very energetic, kind and knowledgeable lady. I could tell by our home visit that Sandy, our 8 yr old Diabetic Lab, would fit in and be totally comfortable in Pat's home. Pat was wonderful both in accommodating a change in our schedule and Sandy's special needs for stairways, etc. I felt a real peace of mind leaving her with Pat and I was not disappointed in any way. Sandy is looking forward to her next visit at Pat's! (me too! - now that I have found a wonderful sitter - I can take more vacations!)”
“Charlie gets SO EXCITED as soon as we pull up in front of Jamie and Pat’s house. He LOVES to visit them! They are excellent dog sitters! We never worry about him when he is with them. He is a powerful puppy in a massive body and can be hard to handle, but Jamie and Pat are not the least intimidated by him. And their children and dogs are perfect for Charlie. We love Jamie and Pat and highly recommend them!”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Thomas, Matthew and George cordially welcomed my fur baby into their home. I was provided with updates and photos during my pups stay. I will definitely book another stay in the near future.”
“Kristle and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She sent me updates and pics every day. The dogs felt right at home and I know they were well cared for. Kristle’s daughter was awesome with the dogs too. When we picked them up they weren’t even that excited to see us…that’s how you know they had a good time! I would definitely leave them with Kristle again!”
“Maellen was extremely patient and understanding with Odi and helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone elses home for the first time! She sent lots of photos and clearly gave him lots of love :)”
“She loved my dog like he was family. I was hospitalized for 44 days and she sent updates with texts and pictures. I was even able to set up zoom meeting to see my dog at one point in my recovery. Alexandria is so kind and even let me hug her and thank her for being like family to myself and my dog when I picked him up on day 44. I could go on all day about how wonderful she, her husband, and her kids were to my dog. I am so happy that I knew he was in good hands while I was away for such a long period of time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alexandria for short or long stays. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“My dog was clearly SO happy at Holly and Robert’s (haven’t seen him smile like that in a while!), and I will absolutely be booking them again!”

“Mereya and Justin were terrific. Daisy was clearly well cared for, they communicated well, and their own three dogs are as sweet as can be; lastly, we had flight issues returning home, and they even watched her an extra six hours.10/10 would recommend. Will certainly use them again!”
“Emily and Luna were a great match for us. Emily was very accommodating and communicative. Soul was in great spirits when I picked him up. I could tell he had been well taken care of.”
“Chad was amazing with Dakota. We were skeptical at first because this was our first time having to leave our fur baby somewhere. Chad was responsive and caring. Definitely booking with him next time.”
“Onrae did a great job watching Daisy for me. She was a recent rescue, who was a stray and still getting acclimated to her new life. I had to go out of town for a few days and was concerned about what I was going to do. Onrae was easy to communicate with from the start with the meet and great, sent photos and videos daily. She had a great time and came back just as happy as I left her. I would definitely use him again”
“Doug was very easy to communicate with and took great care of my two pups while I was on a quick over-nighter out of town. Will definitely use again for any future dog-care needs while traveling!”
“DEVONA.IS.THE.BEST! My trip was stress free as I knew Dixie was in the best hands. The photos & videos Devona sent, assured me that Dixie was having a vacation as well. Devona was very flexible in drop off and pick up times & I even got a cleaner and nicer smelling dog back, then the one I dropped off. Thank you so much Devona for taking such loving care of Dixie.”
“Aurelie gave our two dogs a happy environment for a week while we traveled, and she gave us peace-of-mind with thoughtful updates, pictures and videos. The pups were relaxed and cheerful when we picked them up, so we know they enjoyed their stay. We appreciate her so much!”
“We’ve used Laura multiple times now. Pick ups and drop offs are very easy and quick if you need them to be. She has a nice large yard and is great at keeping the dogs happy.”
“Alex and his wife are a saving grace for me. I was having such a hard time trying to find a sitter within my budget for a month. He was amazing with my boy! His fur babies accepted him like one if their own. He sent me pictures and videos with updates everyday while I was gone. Can’t thank him enough for taking care of ghost while I was away! I recommend him and his wife. I will be booking with him soon again.”
