“As always, I can rest easy knowing my pup is in Michael's care. I love receiving photos and videos so I can see how she's doing. I appreciate Michael's flexibility with the drop off and pick up. Highly recommend!”
“Kalliah was so outstanding! She texted updates and pictures daily. I knew that she cared tremendously and wanted the best for my pup while I was away. ? Couldn’t recommend her more! Above and beyond awesome!”
“Paul was amazing! Our dogs were not use to walk on a pack, and were not use to socialize with other dogs, he had the patient to make them comfortable, they are even behaving much better after the stay with Paul we are so impressed and thankful. Also our flight was rescheduled for three more days and he was so helpful allowing our dogs to stay longer. We are so happy to meet Paul and we looking forward to leave our dogs with him in future trips. I am sure Moana and Nala miss him and their doggy friends.”
“Melanie and her family could not have been a better fit for my two Italian Greyhounds. She sent me daily pictures of them cuddling and hanging out. I would highly recommend Melanie for your dog boarding needs. Thank you so much, Melanie!”
“Michelle took such wonderful care of our dog Lily that we weren’t sure she would want to come home! We got daily updates so we knew our dog was safe, snuggled and getting to enjoy Michelle’s beautiful, cozy home and the nature around. We will definitely be rebooking again!”
“Outstanding experience with Pat. I had her stay at the house and watch the dog. It is the first time I’ve done that. It was a game changer. In no small part due to the care and precaution Pat took. She came by in advance to get to know my dog and how the house worked. She asked all the right detailed questions. Things I hadn’t thought of! And then at time of transition, she ran through and tested that everything worked as she thought. Pat kept me informed both days. Made me aware of anything of concern. Inn this case GI distress on one of his walks which is not uncommon for Marvel on first day of someone new. But I sure was pleased she let me know and she let me know that it cleared by a later walk. Pat seemed unflappable, capable and careful. My dog liked her a lot as some of the pictures we of my dog having a great time. Plus he was great when I returned as was the house and plants. I will definitely book Pat again. .”
“Jacquie was fantastic! She took us on last minute and welcomed our dog into her home. She took fantastic care of our dog, taking to for walks, to the dog park, and other adventures. She consistently shared daily pictures of our pup enjoying herself. She was quick communicating with us as well. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Melissa was very sweet and her dog Casper really got along with my dog! She sent me plenty of pictures and videos of my dog having so much fun! Her backyard is a dream come true for Tanner! Will definitely come back! Thank you 😘❤️”
“I highly recommend Dyane. As many other reviewers have said, she is a wonderful person - very kind, reliable, a great communicator - and takes her role as a caretaker for your pet very seriously. She watched my senior dog who has some health issues this month, and took such good care of her. My dog was clearly very comfortable and happy being with Dyane and at her house. Dyane took really good care of her, including her special needs (meds, going out often, special diet). I really appreciated that she genuinely seemed to care about my dog and enjoyed her (and her funny personality) - it didn't feel like this was just a job for her. Dyane went above and beyond to make it a great stay for my dog and to make sure that I never had to worry about a thing while I was away - she made sure she had all of the necessary health/vet information before we left and she sent updates at least a couple times a day while we were away. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could:).”
“Megan had my cat Luna just for a day, but her care was absolutely excellent! Megan is very communicative and responds to questions quickly. She gave me updates and pictures of Luna throughout the day, which was very much appreciated! Through the pictures I could see how comfortable Luna was, and as a first time client, that made my day! Megan is absolutely the best, and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Pedro had a great time with Yeojin and Smudge! I was given a lot of pictures of Pedro's time at her place and he came back very happy and healthy!”
“Erin took the best care of our puppy Louie. She was extremely responsive and accommodating. This was my first time leaving him but after meeting Erin I knew he would be in great hands. She sent updates and pictures throughout his stay. Louie had the best time and felt lots of love staying with Erin!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.
“Stephen was amazing with my dog, Toby. Toby is a large dog who we are still working on behavior with but Stephen had no issues with him. Toby thoroughly enjoyed his stay there and Stephen kept me updated which I appreciated since this was Toby's first time away from home. I was would absolutely use Stephen again and recommend his highly. Thank you!”
About: I treat every pet like family, with experience in puppy training, senior care, and administering medications. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe. My husband and I both work from home, so your pet will have constant love and attention. Our friendly dog Ruby loves having company, and we take regular leashed walks and have safe areas nearby for outdoor time. In my home, pets get lots of attention, playtime with Ruby, and regular leashed walks. At a client’s home, I can stop by every 8 hours to provide feeding, potty breaks, and companionship—always making sure your pet feels safe and cared for.
“Luiz and family have taken care of Becky on several occasions, and have always been excellent.! Becky Luvs being there Terrific yard, very accommodating, Molly is her friend”
“Huckleberry and Sweet Pea has so much fun! They spent the holiday getting cuddles and playing with the kids. As far as my dog's are concerned, this was a great few days at camp!”
“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”
“Lauren's family is top notch for dog sitting. Right away I felt at ease leaving our pup Olive, with Lauren and Brian. Lauren has a way with dogs, she is knowledgeable and has a caring demeanor about her. I loved the fact that my dog was able to have some extra exposure to children (as I do not have any), so this was a bonus for us. The environment was comfortable and cozy, Olive being a shy, timid soul felt right at home in no time! :)”
“Karyn was absolutely terrific. My puppy was extremely comfortable with her. Karyn treated him as if he was hers. Sent many pictures and kept me informed about Fitzy several times a day. She has a great fenced in yard which gave my dog freedom to run. Fitzy and her dog got along well. Would highly recommend her. Can’t say enough of good things about this experience.”
