“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”

“Paul took excellent care of Reggie for his 24 hour visit. I really enjoyed receiving pix and a video of him running with Reg during his stay.

Thanks Paul and nice to make the connection!”

“We had the pleasure of having Kristin watch our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience!! We were a bit nervous leaving them for the first time, but she made it so easy and reassuring.

10. Heather & Norman R.

“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”
