“She took good care of my dog and send me pictures and updates. and her two dogs were very sweet and got along well with my girl. I had a bit of a change of plans which affected the pick up time back and forth but Jocelyn made it work and accommodated me perfectly which I am grateful for.”


“Another AMAZING stay for my dog Sonoma with Debbie. I think he secretly likes it better at her house than he does at home! He is always so excited to go over there and I love all the updates and pictures I get!”


“This was the second time ysong Rover. Our first was god awful. I was hesitant but Haleigh was reassuring that she was going to take great care of my pooch! All the photos proved it along with the pitty smile Red Dog had when I picked him up! He was walking and loving life before he even noticed I was there to get him. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”


“Brett and Angela were able to accommodate a last minute change to our travel plans and we are so appreciative of their flexibility and helpfulness. I loved the daily updates that were informative and included cute pictures. We'd love to book with them again!”


“Barry was great! He took wonderful care of our Bella while we were away. He sent many pictures too. We are so grateful to have found Barry and would definitely use him again!”


“Once again, Peter and son took amazing care of our skittish little senior dog, and kept us informed along the way. Easy and flexible drop off and pickup, and our dog always comes home calm and rested. We are grateful for Peter.”


“Don, his wife Melody and their dog Cody are perfect caregivers for our dog June. She loves all 3 of them and is always happy to see them. They take perfect care of her and send lots of photos, so I never have to worry. Thank you!”



“Shadie was fantastic with our dog Ava. Ava stayed with her over July 4th and gave us regular updates (and pics!) On how she was doing. Ava is afraid of meeting new people, but Shadie was very patient and even gave her one of her dog's thunder vests to help her be less anxious. We're definitely going to be asking her to watch Ava again! Highly recommend Shadie ?”


“Eve was such a wonderful sitter! Our girl ended up not feeling well for a portion of her stay (through no fault of Eve's), and Eve took such good care of her and was so communicative with us while we were out of town. We are so grateful to Eve and won't hesitate to contact her again.”

“Juan was awesome with our boy Vandal! He took him on walks, went to the park, sent pictures, and gave him ALLLL the attention! We will definitely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you so much!!!”


“Matt and family watched our dog while on a trip to Mexico, and when our flight home got cancelled and we had to stay an extra 2 days, they willingly continued to care for our pet without hesitation. What a relief for us during a stressful time. Thank you so much!!”


“Lauren and Godfrey were amazing!!! This was our first time having Tato boarded and they took such good care of him with plenty of videos and pictures every day we were gone! Their corgi, Sebastian, is such a sweetheart and Tato was so happy to have a playmate. They even helped with some of Tato’s leash training. We 100% happily recommend and will definitely be reaching out to them when we need to board Tato again! ☺️ Thank you both again so much!!!”
