“Barbara was an amazing pet sitter, my dog Jasper stayed at her home on our trip and I am extremely pleased with this booking. Daily updates and photos were wonderful and I felt very comfortable with his stay. She is kind and loving and her updates were a snapshot into his day and how he adjusted to a new surrounding. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a home stay for their pet. I also want to use Barbara in the future.”


“I had Mandy board my dog for several times throughout this summer and she has been a super host for my Border Collie and I would trust her anytime to leave my dog with her. I will be using her services again on my next vacation.”

“Boarding at Raegan's went wonderfully for us! She agreed to take time to meet ahead of our boarding, to see her home and meet her pets. Then when our flight was delayed at the end of our dog's board, she was very flexible and agreed for us to pick up later than planned. I appreciate that Raegan was as communicative and flexible with plans.”


“Kathryn is the best! She took such great care of my dog Rocky, she kept me updated with pictures and videos every day. She’s super friendly and very reliable. I can recommend her to anyone! Thank you very much Kathryn, Rocky absolutely loved staying with you and Potato!!”



“We left our two dogs with Stacey and Patchen for 5 nights while we went on vacation. It was our first time boarding the dogs, and Stacey was incredible. She was extremely responsive during the scheduling and arranged for a meet and greet before hand. While we were on our trip, they sent us pictures of the pups every day, which I greatly appreciated. They kept the dogs busy with walks and playtime, and Stacey sent me updates every time a new friend joined the pack. Our pups came home happy and worn out. We’ll definitely be going back to Stacey and Patchen!”


“My dog had a great experience at Melanie’s. I picked him up happy, relaxed and energetic. (Two nights) He is a small senior dog) He comes home completely exhausted from my son’s house overnight, which is why I sought alternative care.”

“First time ever leaving my dog with a stranger for 3 days. We did an afternoon meet and greet prior to, and everything went quite well. Emily is awesome. Libby was happy, she came out with 4 legs, a tail, a smile and everything else she went in with. Happy dog, happy life (or something like that). If I’m ever back in the area, I’d use Emily again.”

“Desiree is a great pet sitter for our dog. She introduced other dogs slowly and sent photos and videos of our dog with other dogs, having fun, being goofy and all was good to let me know she was doing fine while we were gone. Sophie clearly had fun and I appreciate the communication and quality of care Desiree gave us.”
