“Our young retriever had a great stay with Megan! I was a little nervous about boarding him for the first time, but Megan put us at ease right away. Great communication, clean and safe accommodations and flexible with our pick up times. 100% would use her services again and recommend her highly!”
“This was our second booking with Christina. We have full confidence in her ability to take great care of our 3 pups. They have lots of fun playing with her personal dogs and daycare guests in her large, fenced backyard. We especially appreciated her flexibility in accommodating a change in our travel plans and allowing for an earlier pick-up. 10/10!”
“Lindsay took great care of my dog Suki. She was warm and professional, which put Suki right at ease; and she sent regular updates and photos; plus, Suki was happy and calm when I picked her up. Thank you, Lindsay!”
“This is the second our dog stayed with Ann and it was just as great as the first. She is so kind and patient with our dog. He has the best time visiting with Ann and is always reluctant to come home! I couldn’t ask for a better stay.”
“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”
“I am beyond grateful for Tonya. I was able to take a once in a lifetime vacation because Tonya was there for me. I have a 20 year old very needy pup who isn't easy to care for. She took such good care of him and my home, even while, my smoke alarms decided to beep the entire 8 days. She is a patient woman. I hope you are lucky enough to book her.”
“Tanya is amazing! Dexter loves staying with Tanya. He gets spoiled rotten in the best way when he goes to see Tanya. He gets so much outside time and even has his spot on the couch. I’ve brought Dexter to Tanya multiple times and will definitely bring him to her again. She really is the best!”
“I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time in a new state. Kelly went over and above the call of duty to make sure i felt in the loop. She came home tired and happy!”
“Caroline is so sweet, responsible and lovely! She took such good care of Charlie and I would not hesitate to have her watch him again. Charlie came home so happy and calm, and Caroline could not have been more wonderful, keeping me posted with photos and updates while I was away. Caroline is a natural, and I am so grateful to have her care for my baby”
“Gael and Bridget were amazing with Penny! She had a great weekend frolicking on the beach and playing with Selkie. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which helped make us feel comfortable leaving our pup with a new family. We feel very lucky we found them and would absolutely love to have her stay again!”
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”
“Our dogs had such a wonderful weekend with Marissa and her family! They take such great care of our pups and make sure they get lots of attention and stimulation. Marissa sends updates and photos every day that help ease our minds while we are away! We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Our pup, McMurphy, had an excellent time with Katie! She wasn't phased by any of the extra challenges of working with a puppy and we're really grateful to have found someone who cares so much for dogs and is so easy to work with. Thanks for helping his first stay away from us go so smoothly!”
About: There has always been a dog, or two, in my home, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Your furry friend will be treated like family here! We go for walks a couple times a day, have shared or individual space, and have a dog door to a fenced in area throughout the day. Working from home, I am able to take the pups on walks at lunch and before and/or after work. They will have constant company throughout the day! I have a large yard to leash walk dogs, a finished/heated garage with a dog door to a fenced in area, so pups can go outside as they'd like between walks. I treat all animals as if they are my own; they are welcome on some furniture, have a warm and comfortable space, can meet dietary/medical needs, and will have multiple walks throughout the day.
