“Amy is great- I am so grateful to have found her! I have recently relocated and had a few unexpected trips out of town, and she has been so good to my pup. She is flexible with schedules, great about sending updates/pictures and letting you know how your fur baby is doing, and she even sends you home with homemade treats for them! My pup came back home much less stressed than any previous boarding/kennel experiences.”



“My dog Boomba came back from her 9 day stay with Damacia a happy dog! Damacia was easy to stay in touch with and sent me photos and updates daily. I would def book with Damacia again!”



“I could not be more impressed with Cyndi! My dog Finley absolutely loved her, we got so many pictures, I did not worry about him for a single moment. We have a long stay coming up next week, and doing a “trial night” was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves!”


“Matt was wonderful! He checked in daily with pics and updates. He always answered quickly and was super flexible. Can’t recommend him enough and will definitely use again!”


“Nicole and Austyn are the best!! I needed an overnight sitter super last minute and Nicole was able to help me out! I really appreciate the flexibility and will absolutely be booking with her again :)”


“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“We've are so happy to be repeat customers of Cassie's! She is so loving to our dogs. They feel at home with her and her family, which is evident in the videos and pictures Cassie sends throughout our time away. Cassie is a lovely person to work with and we plan to let her care for her dogs for many years to come!!”


“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”


“Julie really put me at ease and payed attention to details. I appreciated the way she introduced Nacho to her house and her cats, it showed she cared. I also really liked that she kept in contact via pics and messages. Nacho will definitely be staying with Julie again! ”


“Sheri was great - she only takes one family at a time and made sure our Maisie had plenty of attention the entire time. It was clear she and her family loved Maisie as much as we do. We will happily leave her in Sheri's care any time.”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”


“Pamela and Paul were great at taking care of Oliver and keeping us updated on how he was doing. Oliver has separation anxiety which can make it difficult to find a sitter, but Oliver really enjoy his time with them. He showed very little anxiety and got along really well with their dog Marlowe. Pamela and Paul did a fantastic job and we were definitely be coming back!”

“My 'almost' adult hound had a wonderful time with Hilary and her family. She was taken on walks, petted constantly and had a central place in their home to nap. It was nice getting away for a few nights and not having to worry about the dog. I will definitely send Charlie over there next time I need help with her.”


“Paris had a wonderful time with Amy and her family. We really appreciated the updates and photos. Paris came home happy and relaxed! Will definitely call on Amy again!”

“Dawn went above and beyond for Rocky. She sent photos multiple times per day and always let us know how he was doing via text. And she sent us home with frozen treats for Rocky. He didn't want to come home :)”


“Taryn is awesome! She was extremely communicative, attentive to our pup, and flexible with our schedules. Our lucy loved her time with her and her family!”


“Caitlin was a fantastic dog sitter! I contacted her somewhat last minute to watch my cavalier King Charles for the weekend and she was able to accommodate. I did a meet and greet and saw that she has a perfect place for dogs and a huge fenced-in backyard. Her and her husband are very attentive and I could tell they really care about the animals they watch. Very happy to have found her and will definitely be using her again. She even gave me a write-up report at the end with a little story of Berkeley's adventure!”
