“Paul is fantastic and was able to take Milo last minute for us! Milo came home happy, tired and very well taken care of! We will definitely being using Paul in the future and highly recommend him!”
“Michael was great! His attention to detail and love for what he does is evident in the way he took care of Jax for a week while I was out of town. He made sure Jax’s first time with him was as comfortable and easy as possible, and Jax came back refreshed and well-taken care of. I highly recommend Michael for anyone who needs someone to look after their pups.”
“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”
“Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Phillip took such great care of our energetic dog Moose! He made sure all the dogs got along well and his fenced in yard is perfect for dogs who love to play. We would trust bringing Moose back at any time and are really lucky to have found Phillip so we could feel comfortable with a weekend away knowing Moose was having so much fun!”
“Briana took amazing care of our pup Chase for nine days in June 2021 and we couldn't be more grateful! She is an all-around dog expert, and the friendliest person you'll meet. Briana took the time to send us daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which eased our anxiety (it's our first time away from our first dog) and proved that we chose the right person for the job. FIVE STARS all the way !!!”
“Melissa was great ! My two Golden Retrievers had such a great time and loved being around the kids. They came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they were in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”
“Tracee and family was very welcoming during the boarding of my pet. My dog stay went amazing. Not only did she provide TLC to my dog. Tracee was able to keep in touch with me on the status of my dog and send pictures of the dog. I cant wait to utilize her services again. Definitely a five-star service! Thank you”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Lee was great !!! Always sent picture and video updates throughout his stay . My dog had a great time and I would definitely book Lee whenever I needed him !!! I highly recommend him !!”
“Almira had such a great time with Victoria and the fam! She looked thrilled in every photo, and made herself completely at home. I was so glad to leave my dog where I knew she was happy, well cared for, and safe!”
“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
“Fantastic with our puppy Rocky . Communicated with text pics & videos daily . Immediate response when asked a question. It was our first time leaving our doggie with anyone. We will absolutely, most definitely leave our Rocky with Melissa again . Highly recommended.”
“We have been bringing our dog Pepper to Tamara and her family for several years now. It is comforting to know Pepper is well cared for when we are away. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! 10/10, highly recommend!”
“Loren is awesome! Our Tina had a great time staying at her house, getting outside for a fun outing, chilling inside, and enjoying her time watching all that goes on outside the window. Loren was super responsive from the very beginning, set up a meet and greet, and was great getting to know Tina. During the visit she shared pics and we knew the entire time Tina was in excellent hands. Highly recommend Loren!”
