“I don’t even know where to start! Ivy was so amazing! She helped me out so much by watching victor last minute for me. She sent me so many great picture of victor and I could tell he was so happy with his stay! I even felt like he was sad when he had to leave haha i felt so confident that he was very taken care of! I will definitely be messaging ivy if I need a sitter again! Thanks again for everything ivy! I really do appreciate it!”
“Since the pandemic, my dog and I both have separation anxiety from each other now. But whenever Ramen is with Mary Ann and Edwin, I don’t have to worry about him. They send pictures every single day, notify me of every little thing, and just make sure that he’s having such a good time that I never have to worry while I’m gone. They’re my go-to people whenever I need boarding services and will keep going to them until they quit! 😂”
“Laura and Brian are amazing! They took such good care of my puppy, Coopey for 12 days. I have never left him for so long. We had 0 issues with them, and they both treated Coopey like he was their own! Coopey was having so much fun that I wasn’t sure he’d want to come home after my trip! ? Laura was constantly sending me cute pictures and videos of Coopey hanging out with other dogs and doing fun activities….and she followed my instructions to a tee! She even gave him a bath on the day that he was leaving! He came back plush and smelling clean. I will definitely be using Laura and Brian moving forward.”

Ivy took wonderful care of Willow last weekend. She was very responsive to all my questions and always replied quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the 2–3 photo updates each day — it meant a lot to see Willow comfortable and happy. I truly felt that Willow was safe and well cared for in their home. Thank you, Ivy, for treating her like family. 💛
This is our second time leaving our baby boy Charlie with Edwin and his Amazing wife Ann. My wife and I are very comfortable with Charlie being there. Charlie is well taken care of, with daily pictures and updates. We’re able to relate and not worry. Thank you guys . Charlie will definitely be back
