“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Nicole and David are so kind and caring, they provided frequent updates and videos/pictures which is always reassuring to know your pet is having a great time!”
“Our dog Garth had a great time with Sheryl. Usually, Garth struggles with us leaving him while we are away, and we had no worries while he was in Sheryl's care. She loved on him and took him for plenty of walks and trips to the park. We even got some photos and a video of their adventures. We can tell that Garth had a great time and that he was very well cared for! We would 100% recommend Sheryl and look forward to becoming repeat customers. A huge THANKS for loving and caring for Garth!”
“Rosie was very happy at Kyle’s. We saw some sweet photos of her during her stay. We appreciated your flexibility in picking her up too. Thanks much. We will definitely request to rebook with Kyle.”
“Teresa was amazing! She sent updates with pictures of Penny throughout each day. It takes a while for Penny to get comfortable with people and other dogs, but she snuggled with Teresa a lot and played with some of the other dogs. We will be back next time we leave town!”
“Alicia took wonderful care of our dogs Hugo and Winston! She shared daily updates and photos that helped set our minds at ease and see what a great time they were having. We'll definitely see if Alicia is available for our next trip!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“We have no worries when Susan is boarding Donny. She is conscientious, caring, and keeps us informed daily on how it’s going. We are so grateful to have found her! Thank you, Susan!”
“Oh my god! I could not be more happy with Kelsey and Jordan. I was so worried about leaving our pup for a 5 day vacation with a sitter. They were so patient and sweet about the whole process. I received photos and updates on how she was doing. I really felt like they treated her as their own. Kelsey washed her blanket and bed which was so unnecessary but just shows you the pride they have to give your dog a sweet safe home while you are away. Truly a blessing to have found them. 160 5 star reviews for a reason.”
“Lauren and Michael go above and beyond - my dog can be a lot, but they are so good with him! I’ve used them multiple times for overnight/weekends, but just left him with them for 12 days. It was the longest I’ve been away from my dog, but I felt comfortable knowing how well they take care of him. They are considerate and responsive, highly reccomend!”
“Each time Cassie stays with Betsy, she is more and more comfortable. This time she even joined Betsy in bed at night. I so appreciate that Betsy treats my dog as well as I do!”
“Takenya was great! Very communicative and made sure my dog had the space she needed! My dog came home super tired and seemed to love her time there!”
“First time visit for Rufio and it won’t be his last! Miriam treated Rufio like he was home with his own family, couldn’t have been a better 5 day experience.”
About: My happy place lately is walking my pup, watching the fall leaves turn colors, with a spooky audiobook to listen to. Does this long walk on Summit sound like your pup's favorite day, too? I work flexible hours, and mostly work from home. Whenever I have to go to the office, its nearby so I'm not gone for long. I have a fenced in yard to share with your pup. I can easily crate my/your pup if needed. I'm a safety-conscious person when on walks.
About: We lost our sweet angel, Presta, in 2025 after having her for 11 years. We are not ready for another dog of our own but look forward to showering your dog with affection, a regular routine, and worry-free care while you're away. Your pup will enjoy enjoy morning and evening walks and plenty of playtime on evenings and weekends! Lauren works a reduced work schedule and James works from home 1 day a week. Dogs do need to be able to be kenneled when we are away (up to 7 hours). Our home has a yard with a 6-foot tall fence surrounding it. Inside, our house is dog-friendly - and we welcome snuggles on the couch! We do not have any other pets. We do not have any children. We only accept one booking at a time. Dogs do need to be able to be kenneled when we are away (up to 7 hours).
About: I have 3 dogs, 2 of which were raised from birth, assisting in the birth of 1. Continually implementing positive crate training and standard obedience training. Invested in keeping them active and healthy I have a full-time job but I am home every day by 2:30pm. I look forward to spending time with your pups during the afternoon and evenings as well as holidays! I have 3 friendly fixed active pups (9M,7F,5F years of age) to keep your pup company. I have a non fenced in back yard for playing and live near a park excellent for walks. I have a medium sized dog crate that I use for night time crating. We allow pets on furniture in our house.
“Thank you Jenny and Mark! Our older lab was well taken care of and we appreciated the updates and pictures sent over the weekend. Thanks again!”
