1. Matt M.
“Our two golden doodles loved their long weekend stay with Matt and Cooper (Matt’s adorable and gentle dog). Matt sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout their stay. We’ve already booked our next stay with Matt and Cooper and I’m just so glad to have a reliable and caring home for my dogs.”
2. Michelle T.
“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
3. Nicole B.
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my 5 year old Samoyed for a long weekend! Drop off and pick up were easy. I received photos through out his stay. Her dog Tank is a big sweetheart. My pup returned home happy and well cared for in my absence. Highly recommend her boarding services, and I would definitely use her again in the future!”
4. Emily B.
“Emily is absolutely amazing! Super attentive and sweet. I don’t ever have to ask for pictures, she’s super communicative. Jasper always comes home and goes straight to his bed. Definitely a constant rebook!”
5. Jeffrey H.
“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”
6. Amy M.
“Winston's first overnight at Happy Dog Pet Care went great. Amy kept in touch with us and provided great care. We already have our second overnight on the calendar. We were so pleased!”
7. Blythe R.
“Blythe did a great job watching our senior dog Charlie while we attended a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. Her flexibility, communication, and occasional updates were much appreciated, especially given the fact that he was getting over some stomach issues the same week and she needed to give him some meds during his stay. His stay with her went smoothly, and we’d definitely recommend her to future clients!”
8. Ariel W.
“Exceptional service and delightful family! Your fur baby will have the time of its life. Ariel is great about sending updates throughout the day as well!”
9. Tiffany B.
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
10. Hannah L.
“Hannah was prompt, responsive, and incredibly sweet. I could tell my boy Tucker was well cared for and happy for a little staycation. Would (and definitely will) absolutely leave him in Hannah’s care again.”
11. Hilary R.
“Hilary and Willlie are fantastic. I was totally comfortable having our dog Layla away from us for over a week for the first time. She was totally taken care of and loved. The daily updates were great. Thank you so much.”
12. Kristin M.
“Our energetic pup loves playing with Kristin and Finn and he just came back happy from another fun stay at her home. We’ll definitely use her again!”
13. Alexandra O.
“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”
14. Sarah R.
“I felt SO comfortable leaving my dog with Sarah (and her adorable pups). Sarah communicates quickly and thoroughly, and she shows true compassion for my guy. She was happy to give him medication and also meet his quirky needs. And he had a blast, I know.”
15. Amy M.
“Loved getting pics and videos throughout my pup’s stay. He clearly had a great time and I won’t hesitate to book another stay next time I travel!”
16. Cyndi M.
“Pepper enjoys returning to Cyndi’s home! Dog friendly, accommodating, lovely back yard and walking spaces. Squirrels to watch, too. She is very attentive and lets him out for early morning potty needs.”
17. Donetta N.
“Donetta did an outstanding job reassuring me Lucy was enjoying herself. Helped put my mind at ease. She was also very accommodating for what we needed for drop off and pickup. We will definitely be sending Lucy to her for future trips. ❤️”
18. Dawn B.
“Dawn was a delight to have as Oliver's sitter. She provided a ton of updates and we were completely at ease with how she cared for Oliver. Even with his separation anxiety, Oliver was doing well and thrived with Dawn and her husband. Dawn even made treats for Oliver after the boarding. I am so happy we found Dawn to watch over Oliver. Definitely planning coming back to Dawn!”
19. Raye J.
“According to my dog, Raye is top tier when it comes to hospitality. He's already asked to return to her home that's full of love and tasty treats. Thanks again for taking care of Rocco.”
20. Emily P.
“Allie loved her time with Emily - she didn’t want to leave! Emily was such a kind and welcoming sitter. Super flexible with pick up and drop off. We will definitely use Emily again for the next trip.”
