“Kira is the absolute best!! We know Mina is always well taken care of at her home-- beautiful yard, lots of space, good routine, and always good pup company! We are very grateful to have found her and her family who have helped us many times over the years.”

“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”

“My dog Simba spent his Thanksgiving with Gabriel. He is a male Golden Retriever, two and half years old. He needs a lot of exercise. He never lived anywhere before. I was very worried before leaving Simba with Gabriel. But he had a wonderful experience. He played a lot with other dogs, came home calm and relaxed. Gabriel has a good understanding of dogs and very confident. I am definitely coming back again.”

“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”

“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”


“I’m so grateful to have found Elaine—she’s truly wonderful with Zoe! It’s clear how much love and care Elaine gives, and it shows every time Zoe doesn’t want to leave after her stay. Zoe is always excited to spend time with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. Thank you, Elaine—we truly appreciate you!”

“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”

“Clyde has now stayed with Briana multiple times and we trust her to take great care of him. She is a great communicator and always updates us. He appears to have a great time each time he is there and clearly looks forward to being there. We are so grateful to have a trusted individual to care for our dog!”


“My 2 little dogs are very well taken care of at Nancy’s. She sends messages and pictures about how they are doing. My girls are always happy and healthy after staying with Nancy. They enjoy being with Nancy and her family and also with her dogs and any others that are boarding there.”


“Whitney and Dave were wonderful taking of Louis during my trip away. My trip was buffeted by storms and they were so understanding about adjusting drop off / pickup. They have two adorable dogs who are very sweet. Whitney asked all the right questions about Louis and provided great and regular updates, with pictures! I highly recommend Whitney and plan to book them for future trips.”

“Teddy and Penny had a great stay with Mliss and her family! They were both well taken care of and seemed very comfortable in her home. The daily picture updates were much appreciated and showed what a good time our pups were having!”

“Our second visit to Julia and Hugo was great again. Sadie recognized the place and ran right in. Warmth and attentiveness greeted her. Our girl is happy with them and we feel secure.”

“We had our first playdate with Tracee this week and it went very well! Tracee has a warm and welcoming home and made our dog very comfortable and happy during his stay. I also got multiple pictures of him playing and relaxing, which I appreciated. We have an overnight stay booked with Tracee and are looking forward to it! Thank you!!”


“My Welsh Terrier puppy had the best time with Sarah! She clearly loves and understands animals. It’s great knowing that our pup is in very capable hands when we are away. We will be going back for sure.”
“Francois took great care of Walter while I was on vacation. I particularly enjoyed the daily photos of their walks in the woods, it put my mind at ease that he was receiving the best care. He seemed very happy upon his return!”

“Sarah was great with Baci! Very attentive to details and my care instructions, checked in with photos, and communicated well. She’s a nice person and so are her kids, and I will definitely have her sit for Baci again. Thank you Sarah!”

I was looking for care for my pup last minute for the Thanksgiving holiday and while a number of sitters reached out to help, Sandra stood out with her friendly nature and well-informed questions to ensure she and Ella would be a good fit. I’m so glad they were because Ella had a blast. Sandra was so welcoming when we arrived to drop Ella off and was quick to befriend our very energetic pup. She even had fresh water out and toys at the ready to help her feel at home. I felt completely at ease leaving Ella in her care and the daily updates and photos during her stay maintained that. Sandra was very understanding of Ella’s young, vivacious nature and accommodated her needs with such care. She was mindful of Ella’s history as a rescue and navigated Ella’s novice-level manners with grace. It honestly felt like Sandra took care of our pup as if she were her own. One of the picture updates Ella was even sleeping belly up! Which for her especially is a big deal with someone new. I would absolutely have Sandra take care of Ella again, she was wonderful with her and so incredibly kind to us. An absolute gem.

Jennifer was fantastic! She took such good care of my dog. She sent me photos and updated me daily. I'm so glad i found her. Her family was a bonus as well, they were genuinely happy to play and cuddle with my pup. I would highly recommend them, and will be using Jennifer again in the future.

Abby is a 10 yr. old Havanese - and the most universally beloved member of our family. Thus, our prime concern while way from home was Abby's well being. Christine alleviated those concerns completely. Christine is professional in planning for the care of your dog. She checks for compatibility with her dog, Genji, and her children before she agrees to board your dog. Christine is a great communicator before and during the boarding period. Her daily pictures and short videos of Abby sent to us while we were away were a delight. Our extended family could see Abby thriving and visibly enjoying her stay with Christine. (We were not sure Abby would want to leave Christine to return to our home as Abby looked so happy and occupied.) Christine was a "real find."
Jackie is absolutely amazing. We have a 90 pound bernedoodle and he is in love with her. She is totally responsible and stays at our house. She is highly communicative and sends updates while we are away. We are so lucky to have found her and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with a furry loved one. I will always reach out to her when we are away. Thank you!
