“First time we have boarded our dogs overnight but everything worked out great! Christina kept us informed, sent photos, videos and updates throughout the day. She was very respectful of our instructions and concerns for our pets. We look forward to using her again and recommend her highly.”


“I cannot say enough good things about Alissa! The care and attention she showed our dog was truly above and beyond any expectations I had (or could have had). Alissa was incredibly responsive and communicative from the second I reached out. Alissa has set up her home as a haven for dogs; Piper was treated to nature walks, a splash pool, tons of outside time and all the snuggles and cuddles she could hope for. This environment, combined with Alissa's experience as an owner, gave our rescue pup a chance to work on socialization and play with other dogs in a safe space. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Alissa took such great care of her - Piper had her very own vacation in puppy paradise! 12/10 - will absolutely book again!”


“My dog can be pretty shy but warmed up so quickly to Kaylee! Kaylee was super communicative and accommodating and sent lots of pictures and updates during our stay. Would love to use Kaylee again in the future!”


“Craig was very accommodating and absolutely amazing with my dog hazel! She’s normally a littler tentative around men but she immediately took to him. He sent frequent updates and great photos including a video of hazel snoring in his lap. By the time we picked her up I’m not sure she wanted to leave.”


“She is amazing! What more can I say? My dogs both love her, and one of them is reactive and can be quite difficult. But they both love her and that puts me at ease knowing they are happy and well cared for.”


“Thank you to Colleen for taking wonderful care of Henry. She really went the extra mile! While we were away, Colleen sent daily pictures of Henry doing lots of outdoor activities and also snoozing on comfy dog beds. We loved the detailed notes that Colleen wrote sharing all Henry's new adventures. We especially treasured the picture of Henry boating in a life jacket on the lake, standing tall, with the wind in his hair and a great big dog smile on his face. It was a special week for Henry, and great for us, knowing that he was safe and loved. Thank you, we will always be grateful.”


“Tonya took great care of our little dog, Key while we were away for the week. She sent us photos and updates. Our dog looked well taken care of when we picked him up. We are planning on bringing him back again when we go on vacation.”


“Our dogs had such a wonderful weekend with Marissa and her family! They take such great care of our pups and make sure they get lots of attention and stimulation. Marissa sends updates and photos every day that help ease our minds while we are away! We couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Molly was super sweet and took amazing care of our pups!! She sent us updates everyday and lots of pictures to keep me at ease and to ensure my girls were doing okay. I would definitely recommend Molly!!”


“Samson had a wonderful visit with Eugene and Gail. We loved getting lots of pictures of our boy while we were gone. We will definitely use them again! Thank you Eugene & Gail!!”


“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”


“Lindsay is paws down the best! She took care of our Shih Tzu, Sasha, like she was family. We could see the love and kindness she poured into every moment with Sasha. It meant the world to us knowing our fur baby was in such good hands.❤️❤️”


“Nathan was so good with my dog, Ella! I was in the planning stages of a tentative trip when I reached out to him and he really took the time to answer all my questions and even ask his own to ensure a successful stay for Ella. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and so kind in his communication from the planning stages, during Ella’s stay, to pick up. He has such a warm and calm demeanor that put both Ella and I at ease. At drop off, Ella and he were fast friends and he really took the time to get to know Ella and help make her feel welcome and comfortable. He sent regular updates and pictures the whole time so I never had to worry how she was doing. And she had an absolute blast! She’s not the easiest dog, she’s still working on a lot and has a ton of energy and he handled her impeccably. He mentioned he has experience with rescue dogs and that really shown through in his demeanor and connection with her. She felt safe and was her playful happy self when I picked her up. He was nice and organized and had her things in order and ready when I got there. He had given her a nice walk and some water right before knowing she had a decent car ride home. I was just so impressed. Will definitely be back. Cannot recommend Nathan enough!”


“We left our Lab with Rose for 12 days when our usual Rover boarder was unavailable Dash had a great time roaming in her big, fenced-in back yard with her own three dogs. He will miss his buddies now that he's back in our boring house! Rose took great care of him.”


“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She made sure to update us during his stay and sent pictures as well. She was even able to drop him off for us at the end of his stay which helped us so much! She's absolutely going to be someone we reach out to again!”



“Our pup, McMurphy, had an excellent time with Katie! She wasn't phased by any of the extra challenges of working with a puppy and we're really grateful to have found someone who cares so much for dogs and is so easy to work with. Thanks for helping his first stay away from us go so smoothly!”
