This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.

Iman is caring and creative with her "guests". For this stay, Iman presented me with artwork that was created by my dog, Honey. I never worry about my dog when she is in Iman's care.

This was my dog's 3rd stay with Angelo. He was treated like a King and was living his best life. The big thing I noticed is that when I took him back, he didn't hesitate getting out of the car, he looked forward to staying there.

Mercedes and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog Bane. I got many pictures while away; all of him being loved. We joked that we might have to kidnap our own dog back because they loved him so much. I’ll definitely be booking with Mercedes again.

I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all. I think my dog had more fun while I was on vacation than I did. I definitely recommend boarding your animal with her they will have a great time.

Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.

Everything seemed to go great. Cassidy sent pictures regularly showing our dog Ozzie getting along very well in her home. She was always super responsive to messages. I'd use Cassidy again in a heart beat.

Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.

Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.

Leo and Mickey loved staying at Barbara's house. They said they felt right at home.( which may or may not be a good thing). They know if their human family goes away again they do not have to be afraid. If Barbara is home they are packing their things and going to her house!

My pup Apollo had a wonderful stay with Latasha! He loved spending time with her daughters and got plenty attention and playtime. She was very kind and sent pictures and updates while I was out of town, which put me at ease about being away from him. I would 100% book with Latasha again for future boarding needs!

Sharon is a amazing siyter. She took a lasy minute booking of our two fur babies, Cleo and Snowie, after our regular sitter pulled out the day before our trip to California. Our babies got to know her and we loved the photo and video at check-ins. Our elder Snowie can be a hard pleaser, but Sharon found her love language and they became fast friends. Cleo is our family cuddler and took to Sharon right away. Thanks Sharon for allowing us to mark a family milestone by being a fabulous sitter for our two babies.
