1. Gillian G.
“After a daycare, we had our pup with Gillian and her pups for a boarding. He absolutely loved being there. She really makes the experience feel like home, and so do her precious fur-babies. We were worry-free knowing ours was well-taken care of, and his needs for cuddles were met (more than expected)! We would definitely bring him to Gillian again. Thanks for an amazing stay!”
2. Brad & Mery R.
“Brad & Mery are such wonderful people. This was Millie's fourth visit to their home. If you are looking for people who will love your fur baby like their own, Brad & Mery are for you. They are kind and send lots of pictures. I trust them 100% with our Millie and will always book them to care for our pup when we are away!”
3. Anna H.
“Anna took very good care of my dog and helped me out of a bind when I needed a sitter to pick him up at the very last minute. I got lots of pictures during his stay, as well a very cute report card, and she sent him home with a treat:) Thank you very much Anna for taking good care of Koda!”
4. Mike S.
“Tucker loved his stay with Mike, Amy, and their dog Bear. Bear and Tucker were fast friends and we got pictures of them enjoying their time together throughout the weekend. We were very happy to know that he was well cared for while we were away and will definitely rebook in the future when we need it!”
5. Kyle T.
“Kyle and his wife took care of my sheltie for a week while I was away in Europe. They did a great job, and have a great fully fenced in outdoor space for him, and also a great inside space Baldur was comfortable in. I got daily pictures and videos and they always communicated back quickly.”
6. Regina B.
“Regina was great with our elderly and needy dog. She was so patient with him and communicated with us regularly throughout his stay. I would recommend her to anyone.”
7. Patricia E.
“From our very first interaction, Patricia made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. She took the time to get to Luna and understand her routines and preferences, which really put us at ease. Patricia not only provided excellent care but also kept us updated with regular messages and photos, allowing us to enjoy our time away without worry. It's evident that she has a genuine love for animals, and her kindness towards Luna shone through every day. We appreciate her flexibility and willingness to adapt to any specific needs or changes in plans. With Patricia, you can trust that your furry family member is in the best hands possible. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. If you're looking for someone who is attentive, dedicated, and passionate about pet care, look no further than Patricia! Highly recommended!”

9. Jack R.
“Jack took our dog for boarding on short notice and sent us pictures periodically showing that he was having a good time. I would definitely bring him for a stay again.”
10. Jen S.
“Jen did a great job of taking care of our "girls" while we were away. We loved that she sent pictures everyday so we could see how they were doing. She was great at informing us on what they were up to and/or asking questions about their habits/needs. We definitely will be using Jen next time we need someone to take care of our dogs.”
11. Sarah & Anthony A.
“Sarah and Anthony are amazing. They truly treasured my dog as their own dog. They have a huge backyard which Christmas ( my dog) enjoyed so much. I highly recommend them to care for your furry babies.🥰😍🥰”
12. Kyle W.
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
13. Haley S.
“We had a great experience. Upon arrival we were met by the other dogs staying at the home along with Haley and her family. Everyone hit it off and after we chatted a little I left feeling very comfortable knowing King Rex was in for a fun little vacation of his own! Communication and updates were great. Our boy loves attention and fun with other fur babies. He got it all on his stay. He has been so relaxed since pickup this morning. One happy pup! I am grateful for the care he received and attention to details provided. 👍🏼👍🏼”
14. Chrissy J.
“Chrissy has done an amazing job watching my dog Riley for a couple of days. Riley and I liked her from the first time we met. He had a lot of fun being with her. I really liked that she provided updates and pictures each day. I will definitely book her again and recommend her to others. Thanks Chrissy! 😊”
15. Darcy B.
“Sammi had a great time and was well cared for. Sammi had never been out of family’s care so the updates we got on her adjusting helped us feel at ease. She loved playing with Darcy and her dogs and playing/sniffing in the backyard. Sammi will be returning in June.”
16. Tiffany W.
“Tiffany is a phenomenal dog sitter! Kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. We deeply appreciated how she treated our pup just like one of her own! We will definitely be using Tiffany again for all our sitting needs ?”
17. Amber S.
“Amber did a great job of making my apprehensive pup feel at home. We've had trouble at regular boarders because of anxiety but P did well at Amber's house. I'll be a return customer!”
18. Amber A.
“Amber agreed to sit Logan upon a last minute request made by me. She saved my life and my weekend. I highly recommend her, she always sends me pictures, videos and text updates about my dog. She is sweet and you can notice that she has love for pets. Overall, excellent.”

“Kathy is truly a dog lover. Felt so comfortable leaving Ollie with her. Lucky to find her. Sends pictures regularly, good communication, caring, and excellent pet knowledge. Looking forward to further bookings.”
