9. Lilian u.


“This was my first time using boarding service and I couldn’t have picked a better first time experience. My Experience with Lilian was absolutely excellent, from the very beginning she made me very comfortable and provided a warm positive loving energy for animals. Due to the nature of German Shepherds meeting new people I was nervous , when Mecca first met Lilian she instantly was comfortable and sweet towards Lilian . I have an energetic German Shepherd , Lilian provided me with amazing communication throughout Mecca while stay with photos and care information on how my girl Mecca was doing. Mecca even got to interact with other pups and enjoyed it , also Lilian kept Mecca very busy with lots of activities, I would say in the photos Mecca looked like she was on vacation too! You will not be disappointed , I am definitely booking her again! Thank you Lilian !!”

“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”

He mad sure to send daily updates and some AMAZING pics of our dogs. We can’t event get them to smile that much lol will definitely use his services again for sure!”


17. Andy & Lydia M.

18. Kelly G.


“Thank you Kelly for giving Milly a great home away from home! Milly had a blast playing with Kelly's dog River and the other dogs that stayed with her. Definitely will continue to send my Milly there!”


19. Madalyn M.

“I cannot recommend Maddie enough! She watched our dog, Jameson, for a little over a week during Thanksgiving and went above and beyond in every way. From the start, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated with frequent pictures, videos, and messages, which made it so much easier to be away from Jameson. One thing I especially appreciated was how she allowed Jameson to socialize with other dogs during his stay. He’s still relatively new to us, so we’re still learning each other, but it’s clear now he thrives on interaction, and she ensured he had safe and fun playtime with the other dogs. It was heartwarming to see how much fun he was having while we were gone. Here’s the most amazing part: After spending so much time with JameO and seeing how much joy he brought into her home, Maddie decided to get a puppy of her own for her family! It’s such a testament to her love for animals, and I couldn’t be happier for her. When we came back, Jameson was happy, healthy, and relaxed—it was like he had his own mini-vacation! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring dog sitter, Maddie is hands down the best choice. Thank you, Maddie, for treating Jameson like one of your own and for being so incredible!”
