1. Lisa W.

“Our dog Mochi can be pretty nervous and slow to warm up, but she was comfortable at Lisa’s home right away, which was really comforting to see. She also got one of her longest walks in recent memory - thanks Lisa!”


2. Susan H.

“Susan was very communicative throughout the whole process. Our pup seemed to have a fantastic time and was well cared for. We appreciated the pictures sent while we were away. Definitely will have our pup stay with Susan again!”


3. Carol S.

“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”


4. Melissa A.

“Melissa and her family took amazing care of Luna and provided pictures throughout Luna's stay. I'll definitely reach to Melissa next time I'm in need of a sitter!”


5. Jennifer S.

“Jennifer is a great caretaker - she provides enrichment activities, manages dog group dynamics, and sent us daily pictures. Our pup came back to us after 10 days with Jennifer healthy and happy!”


6. Allyson H.

“Allyson was very responsive and sent pictures of my dog throughout the visit! I felt safe knowing that my dog was happy and in good hands. She became friends with Allyson’s dog also which was very cute.”


7. Michelle M.

“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”


8. Erin W.

“Our dog had a great time during her 5-day stay with Erin & her family. Erin took her on daily outings - either to the dog park or on hikes. Those activities - & being able to play with Erin’s dogs kept her busy & also kept her usual anxiousness to a minimum. Erin sent photos & videos each day so we always knew what they’d been up to. I would not hesitate to recommend Erin & we’ll have our dog stay with Erin again!”


9. Lenore K.

“Lenore and Rook hosted Roscoe while I was away for new years. She provided lots of photos and updates to let me know that he was doing well and he seemed to be very happy when I picked him up. I would have Lenore watch Roscoe again in a heartbeat!”


10. Sophia B.

“Sophia was great and quoia had a lot of fun. She gave lots of updates and took our pup on some great adventures!”


11. Jordan R.

“I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Jordan to watch my fur babe while I was on a trip. It’s very clear how much she cares, and I could tell how safe & cozy my babe was through the daily picture updates I received. As someone who tends to get anxious trusting others to take care of my babe, I had absolutely no worries & couldn’t be more appreciative of how well Jordan did in not only tending to her very particular routine but also making sure she felt loved while I was away. I’ll absolutely book again in the future!”


12. Dolly L.

“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”


13. Melissa & Ryan W.

“Melissa, Ryan and family take very good care of my schnauzer. This is my second time leaving her there and they were delightful to deal with. They seemed to treat her as their own (and they do have 2 other dogs). My dog is young but doesn’t play with other dogs, and she tells other dogs exactly that. They got along very well. Would be happy to leave my dog there again.”


14. Leslie F.

“Leslie took great care of our pups for a week while we were traveling abroad. They got to run and play to their hearts’ content and ate yummy homemade stew. We will definitely be going back next time we’re out of town!”


15. Ashley K.


“Ashley & Finn were the best I could ever hope to find! Ashley was wonderful with Ginger. We did a meet & greet & I felt very comfortable leaving Ginger with her. She sent pictures daily videos at times. Ginger is reactive on leash & never off leash & she was great with that. Finn was great, he taught Ginger to play & they had a great time. Ginger felt right at home. This was my first experience boarding with an individual. I was very impressed! I would not hesitate to book again with Ashley. In a word she is awesome! Thank you Ashley & Finn ❤??❤”


16. Kelsey W.

“We are so grateful to have found Kelsey. Her knowledge and expertise gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were on vacation. Timber was cared for like a family member.”


17. Lauren C.

“Magnus had an amazing stay with Lauren and her sweet pup Ebey. He was able to play outside in the nice backyard and come and chill inside. Lauren sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. I think Magnus had the best time ever! Can’t wait to come over again soon!”


18. Michela S.

“Super helpful and appreciate her working with my stinker of a dog :)”


19. Brooklyn A.

“Brooklyn went above and beyond to accommodate Waffles and his car anxiety. He had a wonderful time with her and her pups (especially Tuna). I would not hesitate to leave Waffles with her again, or to recommend her to other pet parents.”


20. Natalie K.

“Natalie accommodated my dog for boarding given a short notice and she sent us some pictures of our dog while we were gone! We definitely will have her taking care of our dog again!”
