Lisa F.

“We booked Lisa for the week of Thanksgiving . Our six-year-old pup Oliver loved staying at Lisa’s home. He got along wonderfully with her two dogs and was cared for with the upmost attention. Lisa sent photos of Oliver every day to keep us up to date, and he was walked each day. We will definitely rebooking with Lisa again.”


Cindi C.


“I first met Cindi early in May at the "Meet and Greet." Her home is lovely, and so is Cindi. I immediately felt comfortable and knew this was going to be a great match. My dog liked being there, and when we dropped her off for her 3-day "vacation," she was happy to see Cindi again. She took Rosie on long walks, played ball with her on the beach, and went above and beyond to entertain her. Each day Cindi sent us a text with photos summarizing her day with Rosie. We look forward to seeing Cindi in the future.”


Caitlin S.


“Caitlin was fantastic! We left our puppy with her for 4 days. It was our first time leaving her and Caitlin made us feel at ease, sending photos and videos as well as updates several times a day. It was comforting to know our dog was well cared for while we were away. Five stars and beyond!”


Andrea & Bob B.

“Andrea and Bob were so wonderful with our girl Ducky. They were so caring and have a great fenced yard. The photo updates and messages allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing Ducky was being cared for so well. We highly recommend Andrea and Bob to take care of your pet.”

“Ruby had a great time at Caitlin B.’s house. She got along well with Caitlin’s dogs and loved hanging out with her sons. Caitlin is a very special woman who is kind and loving and is so easy to work with. It was a pleasure to meet her and trust Ruby to her care.”


Michele E.

“Michele is a wonderful! She did a thoughtful and thorough intake with my dog Rylie, who is older, hard of hearing and requires daily insulin injections. She sent daily updates with pictures of their “adventures” during her stay. You can tell she truly enjoys dogs and loves spending time with them. Highly recommend!”


Julie E.

“Julie was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, and Julie sent multiple daily updates, and was so welcoming, caring and kind. I HIGHLY recommend Julie and we will be booking with her (and her wonderful dog Ellie) again.”


Alexa T.

“I am so happy to have found Alexa to care for my senior dog while I went away. She was able to book on short notice, had great communication, and was very accommodating to my schedule. Most importantly, she provided excellent care and is very trustworthy. I look forward to booking with Alexa again!”


Alyne R.

“Alyne watched my 1yr 3mo old Boston Terrier, “Bōdie, while I was away for 6 days. Our meet and greet was smooth and easy. Alyne is a very calming personality and Bōdie took to her immediately as he did with her Dog Bruce. It all seemed like a good fit which was relieving since Bōdie has some challenges with anxiety. I felt lucky that we found a match. I dropped Bōdie off on a Saturday afternoon and went to Boston for a flight out early the next morning. I got a text from Alyne that Bōdie was not doing well. He was nervous, and agitated. He lunged at Alyne’s mom and it was difficult to introduce him to her boyfriend. Bōdie was not adjusting well. Yet I was about to board a plane to Arizona in 20 minutes. I was so concerned and upset for my dog at that time. I had to figure out the best thing to do on the fly. I started texting with my dog trainer who really calmed me down and gave instructions to handle Bōdie’s stress. I copied and pasted everything the trainer said to Alyne. Then I introduced them to each other on a text string in case Alyne needed any support from Emma during the time I was away and unavailable. All I could do was let go and trust that Alyne would care for Bōdie in a compassionate way even though he was presenting a challenge. I asked her to please understand Bōdie was scared and have understanding. I was really worried but had to try to let it go so it would not ruin my trip. Alyne would send me occasional updates on Bodie’s progress which was often not so good. Alyne let me know that since Bōdie had some bad behaviors she would have to crate him to de stimulate him. “If he is being aggressive I will have to keep him in the crate”. I totally understood Alyne’s position and told her that I agreed with her point of view. I was apologetic yet also worried for my dog. So, this situation was not a good one. But here is what I want to tell you, my assessment of Alyne was that she was calm, compassionate, and accountable. For this reason I decided that she would do the best that she could given his anxiety. She was forthright in informing me that she would have to limit his exposure to others if he misbehaved. But I could also tell that she was mindful that he was a scared puppy and she did not seem to hold that against him. She made sure he had play time with other dogs that he got along with. And she administered a prescription ointment to a skin condition that he had over his eye which was unrelated to the visit. The skin condition was improved when I came back. She made sure he had exercise, was fed properly etc. During the visit, Alyne indicated that Bōdie would likely not be welcomed back for future visits, which I understood fully. I did pick him up 18 hours earlier than scheduled to make it easier for her and did not ask for any refund for the final day which she deserved for her trouble. When I did pick him up last night, he was very skittish and over stimulated. I put him in his crate in the car where he calmed down. Then I talked with Alyne for a good 20 mins and she told me of her experiences and observation of Bōdie over the past five days. I got great feedback from Alyne that I will use with my trainer in future sessions. I saw where and how she isolated Bōdie and it is exactly what a I would have done if I were in her position. At the end. Alyne even mentioned that it might be possible to just have Bōdie come for occasional day-care-only sessions to help him desensitize more gradually. (Perhaps she saw a possibility for him after all?) It may have just been a case of too-much-too-soon. This revealed to me Alyne’s true level of compassion for dogs in general. It told me that she was not ruffled easily and understood Bodie’s plight. I was amazed as I drove away with the impression that she would be open to a day care session with him in the future, given the right circumstances. I took Bōdie home. He was skittish and jumpy. He pulled on the leash and growled. But I sat him on the bed and gave him treats every time he looked in my eyes. And he calmed down. Then I took him in the shower and he simply melted into me and relaxed under the warm water. He was home. Today he is back to minding and being a happy puppy. I can see that he will need a little bit of training reinforcement but that is to be expected and all is well. This was a situation that, with different people, could have been a disaster. But because Alyne and I were both willing to work together and we understood each other’s position, we each did what we could do to make the best of the situation. We each tried to make it easier for the other, it ended up with a positive outcome. There is one thing that I wish Alyne would have done. And that is just to let me know: “I got this” , “he will be ok, I will just have to isolate him at times and this will work out.” It would have been really helpful if she would have reassured me that, though there were difficulties, she would handle it and that she would be accountable to keep my puppy well. I needed that from her. It is for that reason that my rating for Alyne is 4.5 on the scale of 5. But since a .5 score is not calibrated into this system I would have to judge her closer to the 5. As it was, I got the reassurance from Bodie’s trainer who was also at an airport headed to another state. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend Alyne as a possible go-to care for your dog when you are away. Even though she might not actually say it, she “is” accountable to do her job for you and your beloved pet. Alyne is also straight forward and will tell it to you like it is. But that is a good thing because you will always know where she stands. Her communication is clear. Another thing : Bōdie came home clean. He smelled good. The shower was not because he needed it, it was to calm him down. All of his belongings were returned in the same condition as they were. No dirty leash or collar etc. I just had to clean out one ear! Lol. Alyne said that one of his toys was lost and she looked for it but couldn’t find it. It was no big deal to me. I barely remembered what it was. Go ahead, make the appointment with her. Even if there is a challenge, it will work out, if you work together.”
