Sandra’s pleasant personality and lovely home gave me a sense of comfort and that my dog Enzo was gonna be good taken care of. she took really good care of Enzo, sent me pictures and video and I knew Enzo was confortable and happy . I really recommend Sandra and will use her service again for future boarding. Thank you so much Sandra ,”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”


“Mary was wonderful! She was super communicative and sent photos of our dogs throughout the time that we were gone. They went on lots of walks we knew our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our Macie had an absolute blast with Novelette. Not only did they provide animated commentaries on our pup's day, which we loved reading, but they also spent countless hours throwing the ball back and forth. It was clear that our dog was not only well cared for but also thoroughly entertained and engaged. Novelette went above and beyond to ensure our furry friend had a fantastic time. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and fun-loving dog sitter.”


“This is Heena and Mugang’s second boarding and they loved spending time at Hannah’s place with her and her dogs! Thanks Hannah! It was such a relieve knowing our dogs are enjoying time while we are away and they’re in good hands 🙌”


“Aishea was one the best individual that took care my beagle. Aishea is very nice lady, very responsive and sends pictures and updates on my dog. My dog was very calm and playing when it was time to pick him up. I would suggest anyone looking for sitter for their fur babies to select Aishea ☺️ Hope to see you soon in the near future!!!”


“Took care of my cat while my apartment was being chemically treated! Sent frequent pictures and updates and was a great sitter. Followed instructions and kept him fed and happy.”


“Excellent care, as always! Megan is awesome - walkies, play time, potty break, nappies and bedtime - Jackson seems to love to stay with Megan and her other fur babies. I won’t trust my dog to anyone but Megan.”


“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”


“Really wonderful sitter, made me comfortable leaving my pup there and sent pictures throughout the day. Was really flexible with drop off / pick up time - really appreciated it!”



“Ginger had a wonderful stay this weekend! Based on the pictures, she’s did not seem to be missing her fur-brother one bit, I was happy to see her enjoying herself. Thanks Deb and Steve, see you for the next visit!”


“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”


“Ana was very detailed on how to care for our dog. She constantly gives updates … I felt reassured that my puppy was in good hands ..will definitely work with her again”


“Kristin exceeded our expectations with her extraordinary care for our rambunctious 1.5 year old GSP, Harvey. Each day we would get several updates with photos/videos which put these new puppy parents’ minds at ease. We were so impressed with the amount of exercise (both physical and mental) that Harvey was getting. Kristin went above and beyond teaching Harvey the fundamentals of the agility course, working on his commands and giving him homemade lick mats and treats. Harvey was genuinely sad to leave Kristin, Mark and Kaia but we know he will be back the next time we take a trip! Thank you for everything!”


“Hailey loved staying with Mindi and her family and is looking forward to her next sleepover.”


“Lindsey was fantastic. She was so flexible and responsive and really spoiled our pup (in a good way!) with brain teasing treats and play time. We were nervous because this was our first time not leaving our pup with a family member, but Lindsey took such good care of her and was patient with her energy and all her quirks. Highly recommend!”


“I can't say enough about the fantastic care Kathy provided for Bubu last weekend. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that Kathy is not just a dog sitter but a true dog lover. Bubu, who is usually reserved and a bit shy, took to her instantly. In fact, he seemed so comfortable and even a little more playful than usual, which is a testament to Kathy's nurturing and friendly demeanor. Kathy's home is nothing short of a doggie paradise. It's clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up to cater to the needs of our furry friends. She has a lovely backyard where Bubu had ample space to roam and play, and I received regular updates with pictures of Bubu enjoying his time there. These updates really put my mind at ease and made me feel more connected to my pup while I was away. Kathy's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the comfort and well-being of her four-legged guests is truly commendable. She maintained Bubu's routine and diet as per our instructions, which made the transition seamless for him. I would highly recommend Kathy as a dog sitter. If you're lucky enough to have her watch your pup, you can rest assured that they'll be in capable and caring hands. Kathy went above and beyond to make Bubu feel at home, and I couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional service. Thank you, Kathy, for providing such a wonderful and worry-free experience for both Bubu and me”


“My dog was immediately comfortable with Katherine and her dog Sebastian. I am a protective dog mom as my girl is skittish The fact she was totally calm and happy with Katherine was amazing We will definitely use Katherine again”


“Russ and Janet are great. Sophie was in 7th Heaven with them. Walked and played with and cuddled. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Having just moved to the area, we’re thrilled to now have a go-to sitter for our pooch.”

“Vassu was amazing with our lab. She was great getting our lab comfortable at their home. I really enjoyed the pictures, videos and updates that Vassu sent me. She was so great that we already booked another long weekend with her.”
