“We are so very happy to have found Amy and Happy Dog Pet Care! We just adopted our dog Petyon in September and we were worried about bringing her to a traditional kennel during our upcoming weekend away. Amy eased all of our worries! She is so wonderful with the pets she cares for and so obviously loves animals. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand so Peyton would be able to get acquainted with Amy (and Clodagh!) ahead of time, and Amy was fabulous with communicating with us before and during the trip. We loved getting text updates and looking at Facebook to see pictures of Peyton and all the fun she was having! We were so happy to see her getting so much personal attention and having such a great time. We will most definitely be using Amy's services in the future, for a weekend away or just to give Peyton some time to play with her new friends! We can't thank you enough, Amy!”
“Cyndi is so awesome! Belle loves going over there and it's really satisfying to know that she's in great hands with Cyndi. She's great at communicating and updating you on the stay. The peace of mind she offers is invaluable.”
“Matt was a wonderful host! Charlie has a blast during his stay and we enjoyed seeing all of the daily updates and photos of the fun he was having. He came home happy and tired! :-)”
“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”
“She is a fantastic sitter. As soon as my baby goes through them doors she is happy just because she feels safe and have someone to play with. From the pictures I have received she is comfortable as if she lives there. I will definitely continue to book with her!”
“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”
“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my 5 year old Samoyed for a long weekend! Drop off and pick up were easy. I received photos through out his stay. Her dog Tank is a big sweetheart. My pup returned home happy and well cared for in my absence. Highly recommend her boarding services, and I would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
“Joleya made Oreo feel so comfortable that I thought he wouldn’t want to come home! She was kind and responsive and flexible when we had to modify the pick up type. When I picked him up he was his usual happy go lucky self. I can tell he had an amazing time! I would absolutely love to utilize Joleya’s services again.”
“They always treat our dog with the utmost respect and care. We feel their home is an extension of our own. Couldn’t be happier to have them watch our baby”

“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
