“We boarded our 1 year old vizsla with Greg and Sonia. They were patient with him as he adjusted to a new house and kept him busy with trips to the dog park and playing in their fenced in backyard. Their dog, Sam, is a friendly golden retriever who appears to play well with all dogs. They provided daily pictures and updates.”

“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”

Carrie and her family were absolutely amazing! They were able to help us out with our 3.5 month old puppy last minute. Throughout his stay she sent pictures and updates so we could be at ease knowing our little fur baby was having the time of his life. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love Carrie provided and highly recommend for future pet care needs!
