“Thomas was such a great dog sitter to my shy dachshund Luna. He updated me daily with pictures and videos of Luna. He also answered my messages in a timely matter. By the end of the boarding, Luna did not want to leave! I’m very happy with how Thomas treated my dog and will be booking him again in the future.”

Hanah was wonderful with our dog, Flower! She updated us daily with pictures--it was obvious Flower was having a great time and was being very well taken care of. We will definitely go to Hanah again!
Dillon was excellent. It was my first time boarding and he answered all the questions I had. He provided photo checkups throughout the stay and at the end even gave my Taz a bath so he was ready for snuggles when we got home. Highly recommend Dillon for anyone who is looking for a compassionate soul who loves dogs.
Johnathon is absolutely the best. He sent me so many updates and pictures and kept me so informed about my cup. I was not worried in the least bit. I highly recommend.
This is my second time booking with Weiliang and his wife. THEY ARE AMAZING!! We feel so at ease leaving our dog with them. They were able to accommodate my dog last minute. I will not use anyone else if they aren't available. They communicate so quickly and send me picture updates.
From the first message I could tell Yary was timely, responsible and communicative. We set up a meet and greet right away I immediately felt at ease when she told me about her extensive experience. I consider our two pugs to be high maintenance and wanted to be sure they were in the right hands while we traveled abroad. They were spoiled and loved and got their own vacation while we were away. We received photos and detailed updates about their moods, potty and meal habits. It was so nice to be able to relax and not have to worry about the dogs since they were in such good care. We will definitely be using Yary again in the future!
Salomeh and her family took care of our puppy, Penelope, like she was one of their own. It was the first time we left our dog with someone else and we were very happy with the care provided.
Nika and her husband took great care of our fur baby. From all the pictures she sent to us, we can clearly see that our baby was comfortable and loving staying with them. It was also great that they were okay sleeping with our baby. They are such a sweet and caring couple we can definitely trust. Thank you!

Connie has been caring for my dog named Yoyo for years, leaving me to fully enjoy every second of my time with my family up north. Connie has a special quality that causes yoyo to feel at home even though she isn't :) Connie is and feels devoted to the pets she cares for. .
Michael was very patient with our puppy! He is extremely responsive and sent lots of videos and pictures of our baby when we were gone to keep us updated. He even spoiled him with lots of new toys!
Sophie is hands down the best at what she does!!! You can 100% see the love and care she has for not only her dog but your dog. She went above and beyond taking care of my little but big rottie even during his surgery recovery. Her communication was top notch and she literally walked my dog 6 times a day! She’s super active which was amazing for my 1.5 year old pup. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you Sophie!
Megan and Zack were absolutely amazing!! They were very communicative from the start, their dog Matcha is also a delight and got along with our Tokyo SO WELL. We got updates every day from them, which was lovely as we have never left our dog with someone before and were nervous about it. I could tell she was well looked after and happy to be with this family. We will 100% be using them again!
Our boarder collie Haru did a trial stay with Meagan for one night. This was to test whether Haru can comfortably stay with her for a longer time during our upcoming trip. Haru seemed very comfortable with staying with Meagan and Jason looking at the photos she sent us. Thank you Meagan and Jason for taking care of Haru. I can go on a upcoming trip worry-free!
Chloe has watched our dog Bella a few times and always does a wonderful job!! Bella always comes home happy and clean! We highly recommend Chloe!
Nova was incredibly caring and attentive to our elderly dogs needs. She truly went above and beyond while our dog stayed with her. Nova even made home cooked food for our doggo. She sent frequent updates and established a great routine that helped our dog with anxiety and stomach issues.
Rommel is wonderful. Our dog had a good time boarding at his place. He sent me daily video updates of our dog. Everything went smoothly. Because of him taking such a good care of our dog, we got to spend the long weekend enjoying our time.
Temi was amazing! Our pup had a little vacation of his own while staying with her. She kept us totally in the loop with sweet updates, photos, and videos that made us smile and feel so at ease. It was clear he was getting lots of love, attention, and playtime—which made being away so much easier. We could tell he felt right at home with her. Can’t recommend Temi enough—she’s a total gem and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.
Diana was great with our dog Ripley, who definitely has a lot of energy am=nd some anxiety with new people. Diana took her time with her to make Ripley feel safe and won her over very quickly. Diana and her family gave Ripley lots of love and play time. I would definitely recommend her.
Two little puppies at once is not easy, but our little girls were in such wonderful hands with Mariia! Our kids were so nervous & sad to leave our babies but loved seeing all the pictures and videos that were sent. Mariia provided so much love to them and endless play/walks. We will absolutely use her services when needed next!
This was our 5.5 month old pup's first overnight away from us and Amanda was fantastic! From our first correspondence I could tell that she is super friendly, very responsive and an excellent communicator. We did a meet and greet which quickly added reassurance that Cesca would be very well looked after during her overnight visit. It's great that she asks about your pup's particular needs ahead of time - she wants to be sure to give them the best care. Her dog Murphy is a sweetheart and was a terrific 'big sister' to our girl - they played together instantly and it was obvious that they really enjoyed each other's company! Amanda sent pictures and updates each day which of course added to our peace of mind. Cesca had an awesome time and can't wait to see them again!
