Mr. Mav got a nice long walk, playtime in a secure yard, grooming, and plenty of supervision and attention. They paid attention to his behavior and needs, including managing minor reactivity appropriately on walks. Mav came home happy, well cared for, and settled, and I would feel comfortable booking with Van again.”

“Christopher is so kind and understanding! He knew our cat was skittish and he took the time to set up a room where she could be on her own at first, then took his time getting to know her and letting her explore as she became more comfortable. We appreciate his thoughtfulness and concern for the animal.”

“Diahann recently watched my two dogs, Apollo and Freya, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From start to finish, her communication was outstanding. She kept me updated constantly with pictures, videos, and thoughtful messages, so I knew they were in great hands the entire time. Apollo and Freya were clearly well taken care of — they were relaxed, happy, and healthy when I returned. It’s so comforting to know that they were not only safe but also receiving lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Diahann and will definitely be booking her again!”

Dylan was a true God send in accepting my last minute booking. So flexible and understanding during the entire stay. My pup normally won’t eat for anyone when I’m away and she ate full bowls of food both nights so I know she was having the best time! His pups are so friendly and Dylan is attentive, caring and kind to all the dogs. He sent me videos and pictures of Patch while I was away and kept me updated without any prompting. Very appreciative to find such a great sitter on short notice.

Highly recommend!!!! My pug Nala had a blast with Loc. Loc shared lots of pics and videos of my smiling pup eating snacks and walks around the neighborhood while wagging her tail. Kept me updated on my pup daily and very responsive to any questions I had. Loc is very accommodating and helped me in bind when last minute boarding plans didn't work out and was available for pick up at 9pm.( So grateful as I had a flight at 7am the next day) Very grateful for him to take great care of Nala. Highly recommend!!!! Will use Loc's services again. My pup came home happy and exhausted from all the fun she was having.

Val's place is wonderfully set up for dogs. My two had an excellent time at "camp" and were obviously well cared for and happy when I picked them up. I contacted Val less than a week before my trip, when one of my dogs had just been to the emergency vet and I needed a place for her that would be able to keep an eye on her full time while I was gone. Val was more than willing to take this on, and my dog continued to heal well in her care.

Our two poodles had a wonderful stay! She was caring, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them for the day. They came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
