“Boarding my dog with Jeff and his wife is the best thing I ever did for myself and for my dog! Jeff and his wife shared texts, photos and videos daily of how my dog was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries at all! I felt extremely comfortable leaving my fur baby in their care and I am glad he had a friend (Choko) to keep him company. I will definitely rebook with Jeff and his wife again! THANK YOU guys for taking care of my baby like he was your own!”

11. Liana S.
“When I first brought my dogs to meet Liana, I immediately felt at ease. Upon leaving them with her, I knew instinctively that my babies would be well cared for. She treated them as her own, and sent daily updates and pictures. When I came to pick them up, the transition was smooth. I had dogs that were happy to see me, and maybe a little reluctant to leave because they were handled with such great care!”
12. Maureen G.
“I’m so grateful to have found Maureen to care for my sweet Lola while I was away! Lola can be a bit shy and isn’t always great with other dogs, but Maureen knew exactly how to handle her with so much patience and love. She really took the time to understand Lola’s needs and quirks, from giving her the cuddles she loves to making sure she had her peaceful walks without any stress. I could tell how happy Lola was when I came back—she was relaxed, content, and clearly well taken care of. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, but Maureen exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t thank her enough for giving Lola the attention and care she deserves. It was like she was on her own little vacation! It’s clear Maureen genuinely cares and goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Maureen!!”
13. Karine A.
“Best experience we have ever had! My dog was actually sad to leave Karine, and I felt bad taking him! I had updates and videos multiple times a day that melted my heart. He was SO loved and Karine made him feel right at home, if not even better! I couldn’t recommend more.”
14. Alexis M.
“Pepper definitely had a great time running around in Alexis’s yard and playing with her dogs. She came home happy and exhausted! I would book again 😊”
15. Sara S.
“Sara was the perfect choice for Dory while we were visiting town. She was focused on ensuring she understood Dory’s needs before and during her stay. Dory came home happy and tired… and Sara provided us with great reports during her stay and at pickup. We highly recommend!”
16. Juan N.
“We are happy our dog Cassius felt comfortable with Juan’s family. Cassius had the opportunity to play with other friendly dogs and seemed happy. Juan provided photos of our dog during boarding stay. We trust and feel comfortable leaving Cassius with family again in the future. Thank you so much!”
17. Gilbert H.
“This is the third time we've used Gilbert. He is wonderful. Took our pekingese Bernie on very short notice after another sitter cancelled. I highly recommend Gilbert.”
18. Kara M.
“Kara and her husband couldn’t have been nicer and took great care of our Goldie! She sent me pictures and a video of them on a walk and gave me updates. I couldn’t have asked for better care❤️”
