“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my dog London for a long weekend. I could tell from the photo updates and upon pick-up that London had a great time! We recommend her and would definitely use her in the future.”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“Nina was amazing! I was certain my anxious pup wouldn’t go on walks in a new area, but I was proven wrong with all the video proof of her confidently strolling around Nina’s neighborhood. Loved all the updates and appreciated her patience with my girl. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“Dena was amazing! My dogs instantly loved her, they enjoyed their stay with her. She sent pictures and videos and was very responsive. I’d definitely use her again for my fur babies.”
“Catherine & Nikhit took excellent care of Buckley, and I felt completely at ease during my two-week vacation. I received tons of photo and video updates, and it was clear that Buckley was having the best time ever. He looked happy, comfortable, and totally spoiled with attention. I loved every update and could tell he was being treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with Catherine & Nikhit again in the future!”
“Pat is incredible! From the very first moment, she was genuinely interested in Marrow, asking about all his habits, likes, and needs to ensure he felt right at home. That attention to detail made all the difference. Additionally, Pat sends plenty of updates and photos, which helps so much to ease any anxiety and makes missing him a lot easier. I can't forget to mention Mojo, who is an excellent host and also went above and beyond to make Marrow feel comfortable. We will definitely be back!”
“As always, Shane did a great job taking care of my fur babies! He sends lots of updates and pics that are super reassuring they are in good hands.”
“Kerry is AMAZING!! She took such amazing care of Poppy and sent pictures every day, she is truly amazing and will take such great care of your fur babies🥹🩷”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“Katie did a great job taking care of our dog Kobe. She was very diligent about sending pictures and responded quickly to any messages sent to her. I think Kobe enjoyed his stay with Katie and Henry. He seemed stress free and relaxed when we got him home. Glad we found them.”
“Chinook had a blast during his stay with Erin and Cody! She updated me quite often with super cute pics and I just really appreciate not only the response time for conversations but the commitment to making Chinook's stay as great as possible! We will definitely be back as he is already missing his buddy and the couch. Thanks again Erin!”
“Rae cared for Kenzo with so much love and attention while I was away on my business trip. I’m deeply grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, knowing he was safe and happy for all four nights!”
“Jodee and AJ took amazing care of my shy pup while I was away for a few days. They have a great indoor and outdoor space and spent time with us during a meet and great to make sure all would go smoothly. Sent daily videos and pics to keep me reassured he was doing well. Would 100% recommend!”
“Emily was great! She took great care of our fur baby and sent us updates and pics. Sadie had a great time hanging out with her and her dog. Emily communicates well and we can relax knowing Sadie is comfortable in Emily’s house, yard, and neighborhood.”
“Esther & Mike were wonderful with our dogs. It was the first time we left them with someone other than family. We have one easy dog and one senior dog who can be grumpy and difficult. We were a little nervous, but Esther & Mike welcomed them both and got them acclimated to being around other dogs with no problems at all. They took great care of our ‘fur babies’ and I’d trust our dogs with them for another stay anytime.”

Once again, we couldn’t be happier with Abigail as a sitter. Boba made the best playmate to keep Fiona company and Abigail always goes out of her way to go above and beyond. Reading her updates was routinely one of the best parts of our day while we were away. Thank you Abigail and Boba!
Boarding Otto with Michael and Alaina was completely stress free. I never worried for a second while he was in their care. They suggested to meet beforehand with their pup Deji where the boys became instant friends. Michael and Alaina were extremely responsive, communicative, and clearly attentive throughout the stay. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful care.
This was our second time using Madelyn and Christopher to watch our 2 dogs. Our dogs were excited to back at their house and seemed very comfortable when we dropped them off. Madelyn and Christopher were very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We will definitely be using them again!
Dena was absolutely wonderful with our English Mastiff, Saffron. She welcomed Saffron into her home like family and kept us connected with regular updates and photos. Our girl clearly felt loved and cared for the entire time. Dena is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely loving with the dogs she watches. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be repeat customers.
Liza was so caring and attentive to my dog Suki while boarding her! From the very start with an initial meet and greet, I felt more than assured I would be leaving my dog in great hands. Liza was timely for the meet and greet, pickup, and drop off. She kept me informed and was also very understanding of my pets specific needs. She took excellent care of her for the almost two week boarding. Would definitely look to have her watch Suki again!
I had an extremely positive experience boarding my dog with Shane. He has a really nice environment for dogs - a cozy indoor area in his house and a large yard where they can play. Shane provided me daily updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. Prior to boarding, he did a meet-and-greet with me so he could see if my dog is a good fit which made me confident that the dogs he watches are well-behaved and get along. He treated my dog very kindly and I would not hesitate to entrust him with my dog in the future.
Finding someone you trust with your dogs is priceless, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Our two dogs were treated like family, and it showed in how happy and content they were when we returned. The updates, attention to detail, and genuine love made all the difference. We are so grateful and would absolutely book again!
Megan watched our large dog Kira for two weeks over the holidays and was awesome! It is so clear that Megan has a heart for animals and she really managed Kira in a way that made her comfortable. Kira’s not always comfortable with other dogs but loves fetch, tug of war, and kids. Megan took her on walks and for games of fetch every day and sent us pictures and videos. It was so clear to us that Kira had a great time and was happy in Megan’s care. Of course, that put us at ease too. We’d definitely ask Megan to watch Kira again!
Robin was amazing! Her response time is fast. She was very at tentative to my dog Symba. I’ve never seen him play so much with toys and be so happy! I was scared he may not want to come home! Lol Robin gave me continuous updates and pictures. I really appreciate the fsbulous care she gave. Definitely a 10 out of 10!!!!
