“My dog Draco had the best time of his life😂 so much so he didn’t seem excited to see me once I got back lol. 10/10 would recommend Ginger, she’s an awesome communicator & a legit dog lover. If you even have any doubts or concerns about the wellbeing of your pet while being away, Ginger will make sure your pet is in great hands!!”
“Matthew was great! We were in a bind and needed to find a sitter for Blizzy on very short notice. Matthew was super easy going and made us feel comfortable right away. He provided regular updates including fun pictures and I could tell he was treating our dog like family. We would recommend him to anyone looking for great care for their pet and will absolutely use him again in the future.”
“I do not have enough words to say how incredible Jessica was with my anxious corgi, Nugget! She was so attentive to his command words, what makes him nervous/comfortable and she even thought of things I hadn’t considered to make him feel comfortable there. She most definitely treated him like her own and he absolutely adores her! (And he is not fond of many people) she was wonderful about sending updates and keeping us connected while we were away. My sweet little boy absolutely loves her and we will be coming back soon!”
“Starr and her family welcomed and took care of Draco as just one of their own furry pets. Draco had a blast playing ball, going on walks and play with their kiddos and pets. Starr sent such cute amazing pictures that made you feel like you were hanging with them for the weekend. I recommend and would have Draco stay with them any time. Thank you to you and your family for welcoming him into your house.”
“Janey takes good care of my dog Lucy. She is very attentive. She takes her for walks. Lucyenjoys playing with her children and especially with her dog Koko. She sends pictures and communicates well. I never worry when I have to leave her with Jenay. My mind is at ease.”
“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“The best place for my pup! She always has such an amazing time and it is so clear what a fun and loving environment Rachell has. She is my go-to sitter and is so easy to work with.”
“Very accommodating when I had to change the dates they quickly responded and accepted. Took care of boy very well, sent plenty of Sam’s even made some Christmas photos for me. I will definitely be contacting again for future stays. A++”
“Alison was AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond to make Puff comfortable in her home for the weekend. She was even accommodating to my late request and extended stay…my new babysitter!❤️❤️❤️ We love you already Alison!!!!🐾”
“I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was with Jenna and her adorable family. Felt like a house of love when I dropped him off. They sent lots of pics and kept my in the loop daily. Would recommend to anyone!”
“I knew from the meet and greet that Sadie would be in good hands and would be getting lots of love. She did great with Samantha and Zach. She'll be staying with them again.”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Great Experience. Cortnie sent updates along with pictures and videos while they watched our dog Winston. We also did a meet and greet a few days before to make sure Winston would get along with their dogs. We just did the one night but will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“Excellent service! Lauren made time for 2 brief meetings with my dog before boarding with her. This was needed and appreciated. She was very communicative throughout the entire process including pics and updates after he was in her home. Would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Jennifer is definitely among the greatest sitters you can get! She was so caring and accommodating. Her cats are also very sweet and sociable, it was great to see how well they got along with my cat Tori. She also sent a lot of photos and videos so I can tell Tori is having a great time at Jennifer's place. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to board their fur babies!”
“Erica was absolutely fantastic! Her communication before drop off was excellent and we felt comfortable that Milo would be in good hands. Once he was there we received daily pictured to ensure us Milo was doing well. Erica also dropped off Milo at our door. The whole experience was extremely easy and worry free for us. It was also similar in pricing to kennels we found when searching through other options. I would recommend Erica to other dog owners and we will be reaching out again next time Milo needs a place to stay.”
“Danielle went above and beyond with caring for our fur baby. She sent pics and videos and was fantastic at reassuring me our girl was doing just fine. Will definitely book with Danielle again.”
