“I had a trip I had my usual sitter unable to watch my Great Dane with very short notice. Natalie responded quickly and eased my worries about finding someone to watch my girl. When I arrived she was welcoming and Lucy warmed up to her quickly. I got pictures during the stay showing Lucy was doing well and having a good time. I will definitely use Natalie again for boarding services!”


“We loved the care Azure gave to our 2 German Shorthairs! The text updates and pictures we got throughout our vacation were so appreciated! We would highly recommend her services!”


“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there! Agnatha loves to spoil Violet as well, she snuggles her and lets her on the sofa! I was worried Violet wouldn’t want to come back home with us. It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”


“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”


“While living in FW we loved having Kristen watch Emmett. We were sad when we moved because she was the only person we trusted with our sweet boy. She loved him as her own and took great care of him. She was always very flexible. Thank you so much Kristen.”


“Ozzie had the best care at Stephanie’s. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home with me! She treated him just like her own and I feel very lucky to have had found her. I will definitely try to rebook next time we travel.”


“April was so amazing! My Rue had such a wonderful time. April was able to provide great pictures throughout the stay and was so great with communication. Thank you so much April!!💕💕”


“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”


“Our boys had a blast with Jennofer and her family! They even seemed a bit disappointed to go home with us! We got wonderful daily (sometimes twice daily) updates with the best photos. Will definitely recommend and use her again!”

“Trudy had a great time! She was let on the bed and hung out with the kids and family...I received many pictures during the stay which I loved...and when I arrived to take her home...she ran to the back door...we thought she wanted to go potty...she ran out...and turned around and waited for me...I walked out...she ran the yard twice and then wanted back in...there were many pics of her in the backyard...and she just wanted to show me where she had been...then she was ready to go home...definitely will rebook!”


“Millie and her kids did a fantastic job taking care of our baby boy while we went on vacation! We were so excited to receive updates and photos throughout the days we were gone! The communication was great, and we can tell our boy got the love and attention he deserves! Would definitely recommend Millie! I felt very confident leaving our boy in her hands!”


“Brian was very quick to respond to our request to watch our dog Pepper. He graciously helped us out when we had to find a replacement dog sitter on short notice.😊 His dog and ours got along well together and he kept Pepper exercised and comfortable during the stay. We are very pleased to highly recommend Brian for any needs you may have! Thanks so very much Brian.😉”


“Emily did a wonderful job watching our 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy - it was our first time to board him and a little tough to do. She sent us several pictures over his 2 night stay - he was romping in her fenced in back yard with two other younger dogs, having a great time. (Bailey misses his new friends!). We will definitely have Emily watch Bailey again!”


“Anne took very good care of our little Yorkie Poo. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that she was well cared for. In return our Yorkie gave Anne lots of kisses !! We are very thankful that we found Anne and we will be back to see her for our next trip. We highly recommend Anne.”



“I felt very reassured from the beginning that my fur baby would be taken good care of! Very nice family and sweet little girl that loved Rusty! She sent me pictures and updates that really helped reassure me that he was fine. I would 1000% recommend taking your fur baby to them. I will definitely be taking my Rusty back.”


“Heather took excellent care of our two dogs. It was their first night away from home and they were relaxed and happy when we came to pick them up. We’ve already booked their next stay with her. I’m happy to recommend her services!”
