1. Bonni J N.
“Bonni took great care of my 15-pound dog and she sent me several cute pictures. Bonni also graciously refunded a portion of my booking fee when I decided, with short notice, to bring my dog a day later than I originally planned. Overall, great experience and I knew my dog was in good hands so I didn't have to worry during my trip. Bonni also did a meet-and-greet before the stay so that my dog would be familiar with her home.”
2. Pat G.
“Pat is amazing and our fur babies enjoyed their stay with her. She was so kind and nice taking care of our dogs, sending pictures and videos of them every day. She loved dogs and she is really professional, We definitely recommend her”
3. Joshua P.
“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!!!”
4. Jamie & Patrick H.
“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!”
5. Gene H.
“Gene was fantastic! The whole process was a complete pleasure and she took care of Walter like he was her own. We got constant reports, photos and knew he was so comfortable with her. Thank you Gene! We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and again”

9. Mike D.
“Mike was great with Dan! Dan is a very anxious dog, but Mike made him feel comfortable during his stay. Mike is calm and the energy that Dan needed when he experiences anything new. Mike was very communicative during Dan's stay and even provided him a kennel so that he felt safe. Thank you Mike!”
10. Alexandria K.
“Alexandria took lots of pictures and sent updates of Bailey. She made him part of the family and Bailey seemed like he had a great time! He can be shy and slow to warm up to new people so he most have felt really comfortable with Alexandria and her family.”
