1. Ashley & Patrick D.

“This was our third time with Ashley and Pat and they and their boys make our dog feel right at home. It has been about six months since our last visit but our dog got super excited once he figured out where he was going! Ashley also remembered all his likes and dislikes, which made the drop off super smooth.”


2. Jackie R.

“Jackie and the family were great. I felt comfortable right out of the gate that our dog would be in good hands. Her dogs kept ours company with lots of playing out in their fences in yard and she even took them on walks. The kids helped out and Jackie sent pictures and updates throughout which was much appreciated. We will be trusting them with our dog again in the future for sure!”


3. Jocelyn & Eric C.

“Another fabulous stay with Jocelyn & Eric. Josie & Navy absolutely love all the fun they have in their fenced back yard, and they’re pretty fond of their relaxing indoor accommodations too!! I alway enjoy the updates and photos I get. There is no doubt they are very well cared for. Thank you!!”


4. Timothy C.

“Tim took the best care of our dogs while we were out of town. The regular updates and photos were so nice to receive! Our pups were very well loved while we were gone and we felt 100% at ease. When we got home they were calm and happy. We would absolutely choose Tim again in the future!”


5. Curtis H.

“Curtis was wonderful!! He took great care of my puppy, sent me lots of pictures, and even gave me some advice for things to help with her teething! I am so happy he was able to take her last minute for me! (His personal dog was the kindest dog so friendly!) I will be having Curtis watch my dog anytime I need a sitter!”


6. Marie & Mark C.

“Marie and Mark were absolutely fantastic! They took amazing care of our dogs Jersey and Odin, while we were away, sending regular updates and adorable photos that put our minds at ease. It's clear they genuinely love animals and treated our pups like one of their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and will definitely be using their services again!”


7. Patricia & Patrick B.


“I used Patrick and Patricia for the first time boarding my 80 lb lab and they did an awesome job. Maggie seemed very happy during her first meeting with them and had no qualms being with them for several days. Patrick and Patricia asked many questions to make sure they understood any issues surrounding my dog. They really cared about her. They sent several pictures and a video of her stay. I have another visit scheduled for her in August and Maggie will be excited to go back and I don’t have to worry about her at all. Maggie will be in great care. I would highly recommend this couple for dog care. Thanks so much!!”

My dog seemed to enjoy every moment, and I felt assured knowing she was in good hands. Her service was reliable, and the care was top-notch. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for quality care and peace of mind.”
