Emily had great communication and was easy to work with. I would recommend her to others in the future. I just hope Rudy treated her well.”
“Christine to great care of my dog! She has a lot of experience and knowledge about dog training as well, and was very flexible and went out of her way to make sure that Pretzel was going to be a good fit with her other dogs. She took him to the dog park a bunch of times over the week, and sent a lot of photos!”

“Okay, if you need a sitter or boarding, look no further! I was so lucky to find Janice and Mark at the last minute while passing through Madison. They have a great house, yard and walkable neighborhood all of which my Trixie must have loved because she was not that worried about coming home with me. I was so grateful and felt lucky to have met them!”
“Tessa did an amazing job watching Rena. She gave the best pup-dates complete with pictures and videos so we had peace of mind knowing our gal was doing ok! Tessa took extra care understanding Rena had some anxiety and gave her love, attention, and - most importantly - lots of walks and outdoor time. We can’t thank Tessa enough!”
“Ryan and his family were amazing when watching cooper! We will never go back to a boarding place after leaving cooper with them. They sent us pictures and let us know what he was doing throughout the day. We definitely be reaching back out to Ryan and his family!!”

“Our 2 and 4 year old golden retrievers had a wonderful time! Kate was so easy to work with. I gave her all the details on our 2 year old with puppy brain and she didn’t hesitate. She has the skills, confidence and experience to keep numerous dog personalities happy and well cared for. We received daily updates. Finally, our 2 year old with big puppy beers in came home so relaxed and happy! He had so much fun playing with his new dog and human friends! I swear this is the 1st time we’ve ever seen him relaxed and chill. We’ll absolutely book care with Kate again!”
“For a newbie on Rover she definitely delivered and did an excellent job! She has enough help around the house to make sure dogs are taken care of and getting attention at all times. She kept me updated as much as I would hope for and I felt the dogs were in good care while I was gone for the week! Would book again next year:)”
