“Allison is very kind & flexible. Our Sky has anxious fear of big pups and Allison was very kind to make him feel safe. We are glad to have her watch our 2 pups.”
“Kristin exceeded our expectations with her extraordinary care for our rambunctious 1.5 year old GSP, Harvey. Each day we would get several updates with photos/videos which put these new puppy parents’ minds at ease. We were so impressed with the amount of exercise (both physical and mental) that Harvey was getting. Kristin went above and beyond teaching Harvey the fundamentals of the agility course, working on his commands and giving him homemade lick mats and treats. Harvey was genuinely sad to leave Kristin, Mark and Kaia but we know he will be back the next time we take a trip! Thank you for everything!”

“Amy was awesome!! My dogs enjoyed her family so much. All the basics were met as indicated in daily pictures. But in addition my pups were showered with love and attention from the minute they arrived to the minute we left. Taz and Darby got along great with Amy’s dog Mayzie and now they have a new friend. I will definitely book with Amy again. The care she gave my pups put me at ease while on vacation!👍”
