I knew the first time meeting Joanne that this was the place I felt good about leaving my dog. I have used Joanne 3 times this summer and have been very happy with the care my dog has received. Thanks Joanne!

Stephanie and her family are such great pet sitters! My pup came home tired and happy after two days with their family. I received tons of photos and communication during his stay. They’re the best!

I can't say enough good things about Anoti! She and her family welcomed Dante with open arms and really made him feel at home. Dante is very high-energy, and Anoti accommodated nicely with plenty of long walks. I could see from the photos how much fun Dante was having and how much love he was getting. I would definitely seek out Anoti for our future boarding needs!

We had such a great experience with Lineth! She watched Bruno for a couple of days while we were out of state and took amazing care of him. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, gave us frequent updates, and truly treated him like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

I have never left our pup with a sitter for an extended period but we were going to a family gathering out of state and dogs were not allowed. Maureen had such good reviews so we picked her and I am so glad we did. My Velcro dog loved it there and Maureen kept us informed and sent pictures also. She has an awesome fenced in back yard, unfortunately it was a rainy day but next time we are in the area we hope to have Snickelfritz stay there again. Our dog is a rescue and has not been with us that long, we are very protective as we do not know the conditions she came from. It was so comforting to know she was in such good, loving hands.

Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.

Esther is an absolute gem! My puppy, Alfie, had a wonderful time staying with her. From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. ​Eather sent me frequent updates and adorable photos, which always made me smile and reassured me that my pup was happy, safe, and being spoiled with attention. She made sure Alfie got plenty of playtime and snuggles. Next day pup came home happy, and clearly well-cared for. ​I can't recommend Esther enough. She's not just a dog sitter; she's a true dog whisperer. We will definitely be using her again for all our future boarding needs! Thanks a lot Esther!!!

Honey looked happy making new friends and enjoying his time. I will definitely recommend Jaimie for her dog sitting services.

We were very happy with the care our dog received from Raj. Our puppy is 18 months and has never been away from us until she needed boarding for 8 nights. We received photos and videos from Raj daily which was so appreciated. We could tell that our pup was being taken care of like she was their own dog. We would definitely use Raj again and very highly recommend.

Awesome! Jean, is excellent! We left our 7-year-old Labradoodle for the first time with Jean for an extended weekend. She treated Simba as if he was her own dog and sent us pics of their wonderful time together multiple times a day. Simba loved it and felt at home. We are so glad we found Jean as she will be our go-to person moving forward.

About: I have a good deal of experience with caring for dogs and cats. I've been responsible for caring for various breeds, sizes, and temperaments of dogs. I have a healthy respect and love for all animals and, as a mother of 4, am exceptionally trustworthy and responsible. My availability is generally between 8-3, though arrangements can be made for weekend or early evening hours as well as a very flexible summer schedule. I have a calm and confident demeanor which helps during any unforeseen situations which may arise. My comfort level dealing with animals and people alike help make me the ideal person for you and your pet. I look forward to working for you and getting to know you and your four-legged family member!

About: What sets us apart is that we’re a calm, patient teacher couple who genuinely love animals. We’re big on routines, positive reinforcement, and reading body language (comes with the teaching job!). My fiancé has had dogs his entire life, so puppies, seniors, and everything in between feel familiar to us. We also have two cats, so we’re very comfortable with multi-pet homes. Whether it’s playtime, walks, belly rubs, or a quiet cuddle, your pet will get lots of attention in a safe, relaxed, and loving environment. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. We work Monday–Friday from 8:30–3:30, which allows us to provide morning care before work, afternoon check-ins, evening playtime, and nighttime routines. Our schedule gives us plenty of time for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication administration, and quality one-on-one attention. Weekends and school breaks offer even more flexibility, so your pet will never feel rushed and will always have consistent care and attention. In our home, we provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. We follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication needs, playtime, and rest. Pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, and structured care throughout the day. We keep a clean space, make sure litter boxes are well maintained, and ensure dogs get appropriate exercise and enrichment. Our goal is for every pet to feel at home, relaxed, and well cared for while they’re with us.

I had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and sending pictures so I could see how my dog was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in good hands. She administered his insulin without any issues and made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. I truly felt that my dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I will absolutely be rebooking with her again. Highly recommend!

About: Our family of two boys (both teenagers) and two parents will love and care for your dog! When we had an even bigger house we had chickens, cats, dogs and rabbits. We love dogs and we will take good care of yours. We are home on the weekends except for when we are at church and work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays so we will have plenty of time to feed, walk, and play with your pet. We have a fenced in backyard. 6 feet tall on all sides. We have no pets now so we will give yours our undivided attention.

Kumud provided a wonderfully safe environment for our dog Harper, as always. We love getting all the photos and updates during the stay. Harper has stayed there so many times, she excitedly jumps out of the car when first arriving to play with the other dogs and get attention from Kumud's family. We couldn't recommend Kumud more!
