“John and Johanna are amazing!! They cared for Cairo as if he was their own. From cuddles to bath time, Cairo was truly pampered the entire visit. It’s not the most comfortable being away from your fur baby, however, through pics and videos I felt connected the entire time. Highly recommend John and Johanna. I will be reaching out again soon. :)”


“Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!”


“Sush was a great host for our cavapoo. Drop-offs and pick-ups were easy and convenient, and it felt like we were leaving our dog with a friend. Sush was responsive and sent updates throughout his visit. The other friends who stayed during his visit got along well with him.”


“Chulpan and her family did an amazing job watching our cavapoo, Stella! We really appreciated all of the photos and videos, as well as all of the attention she gave our pup. Stella loved walks and play time with Ruby and can't wait until the next time she gets to visit :)”

“I am so thankful we found Julia to take care of Cinnamon while we were on vacation. Usually we have a family member watch her because she is 13 yrs old and she is our princess. Julia sent us pictures and updates sharing Cinnamon’s adventures with their dog, Junior. I was so happy Cinnamon had a friend to play with and a loving home while we were away. We will definitely be asking Julia again to watch Cinnamon. She even came home with some treats from Junior for Christmas! Thank you so much!”

I can tell that Hyuna loved her stay, and had a lot of fun! We look forward to booking with Suzi again soon, and recommend her to anyone who’s interested in her services!”


“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”


“Had a great experience. My senior lab stayed with Michelle for 2 wks while we were overseas. Michelle and family took great care of Roxy and attended to all her senior needs with compassion. We received updates and pictures while away and communication was smooth and responsive. Would recommend and will use again!”


“This is our second time having Sam care for our beagle, Sherlock, for us, and just like the first time, we could not be more pleased. Sam sent photos and updates on both days. Sherlock had a blast, which made us feel good. We needed a place for him to be, as our house was painted.”
