“Ryka had an amazing stay with Jennifer and her family! They took such good care of Ryka with tons of hugs and belly rubs. During the time away I get pics updates of my pup daily. At the end I feel like my own pup dont even wanna come home with me anymore!”

“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”

“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”

“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”

“If I could give more stars for Carly, I would. We were worried about someone taking care of our beloved pet Chase. He's a Vizsla, if anyone knows about this breed knows that they're very attached to their owners and many times suffers from separation anxiety as ours does. We are retired so we spent every day with him, and rarely live him alone. For our 41 wedding anniversary, we decided to go on a cruise so we spent a lot of time thinking about what to do with Chase, but we were lucky to find the best person for the job Carly and her husband. Were a lot better than we expected. Can't recommend highly enough to anyone who is in a similar situation. Thank you Carly for the bottom of our hearts for taking good care of Chase. Everything went perfect in our vacation thanks to you, and your love and dedication to Chase. Respectfully, Haby and Cristina”

“This was our first time ever leaving our dog. Andrea was always quick to answer our texts. She gave us pictures and updates of how Mikey was doing. Highly recommend using her!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”

“Heather was fantastic to work with! She was very responsive, answered all of my questions promptly, and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. Her and her family have a gorgeous fenced in property that any energetic dog would love. I have an anxious girl, and Heather made sure to send me updates to make sure I knew she was ok. Daffney had a blast there, I can tell because she came home exhausted! I will 100% be reaching out to Heather again for upcoming trips. 10/10 :)”

“Last minute booking, dogs were happy, not sure they wanted to leave. She did great with updating me with pictures on how they were doing. Drop-off and pick-up is always quick. You can feel assured having her watch your dogs.”

“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”

“Rebecca provided excellent care for my dog. She communicated daily and I felt assured my dog was well cared for. My dog had a good time and was welcomed to Rebecca s family. I hope to use her for future bookings and highly recommend her services.”
“Kara took such great care of our dogs! She took us very last minute and was very accommodating! She offered pick up and drop off as well as grooming and bathing for both which I am extremely grateful for! The doggies came back happy, smelling good, looking fresh and well cared for! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”

“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”

“Ryan was a wonderful sitter - my pup Morty loved his stay, including ample play time with sweet Aloo! I received pictures and updates throughout the weekend which left me confident Morty was in great hands. Thank you Ryan and Mehal for treating Morty like family!”

“We were looking for someone to take care of our 115 lbs Rottweiler at the last minute and Selau responded right away in the evening. The very next morning we took our dog to her and she and her husband took excellent care of our dog. They were super flexible as we sometimes wanted to pick up our dog because our son wanted to speed time with our big puppy. Our son is in the service. We came for his graduation. Everything worked perfect. We will be back here to see our son again and if we bring the dog, we will definitely take him to Selau. We highly recommend her and we couldn’t be more pleased.”
