“Kaitlin took great care of my two dogs. One of my dogs is nervous around other dogs, but she helped him gain confidence. They came back very tired after all the fun adventures. Highly recommend! :)”


“Myla was fantastic. She took so much care pre-booking and post to ensure we are a good mutual fit. She took great care of Coco and treated him as her own . She communicated everyday with videos and pictures. I felt at much peace leaving Coco in Myla's care and won't hesitate to rely on her again. Thank you Myla ❤️”


“Mary was amazing. She walked my pup every day and sent photos which was awesome. He is an anxious dog, but Mary is a dog whisperer so he was a very VERY happy with her. He had a vacation while we were on vacation!”


“Tunyi was awesome!!! Our pup loved her and her family. Sent us texts and videos the entire time while we were gone and we just knew Flo was being loved on❤️”


“Great experience with Mireya, very flexible hours and kept me updated with lots of pictures of Molly! She was able to get outside and be around other dogs and people the entire time.”


“We recently boarded our toy poodle Ella with Karen, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Karen was incredibly professional and clearly very experienced with dogs. From the moment we dropped Ella off, we felt confident that she was in great hands. Karen provided regular updates and made sure Ella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout her stay. Ella came home relaxed and content, which tells us she truly enjoyed her time there. We were so pleased that we’ve already booked another, much longer stay with Karen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“I highly recommend Dottie. My dogs were very well cared for and had a blast playing with the other dogs. Dottie kept me updated and sent me daily pictures. I will definitely be a repeat client.”



“We’re so happy that Amy & Shelby took our tiny Otto in over spring break. He seemed to have so much fun with their adorable doggies and their kids were great pals to him too. I strongly recommend them. They are a very nice couple with a fun and sweet family.”


“Great care for our little elderly dog! She was happy and comfortable and not afraid of her new environment thanks to all the extra TLC she received. Already booked again!”



“We were very pleased with our puppy’s stay with Charmaine! Charmaine really eased our anxiety with leaving our puppy for the first time. She had great communication all throughout the stay and was incredibly flexible with our changing travel plans. We got photos every night and I loved seeing our puppy bond with her family and other dogs. We highly recommend Charmaine!”


“Yen and Terry made this experience so easy for us! This was our first time boarding out 6 month old puppy, and we were both nervous leaving him for the weekend. We received multiple updates & pictures of our pup each day, which really helped put our minds at ease. We will definitely be boarding with them again!”


“Absolutely wonderful experience! Reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for Sisi like their own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t ask for more.”


“Kristen took excellent care of Gaia for a week, making sure she was happy and well-loved. Kristen has great communication and was also very flexible with the dates and times! Thank you so much Kristen!!”


“We are so happy to have found Kathryn and Mark to care for Rosie. They put up with her silliness (eg, raiding their pantry) and took very good care of her. We have already booked with them again.”


“Watched my senior dog (14.5 years old) for 11 days. She requires medication, is partially blind, and deaf. Fiona sent pictures and video updates while I was on vacation. I was nervous about leaving her, but relaxed after seeing the updates. I would book with Fiona again.”


“This is our first time using Gaby and we chose her because she had experience with older dogs. My dog Julz needs extra care. We did a pre-visit before our vacation to make sure they got along and everything went great. During our trip, she took extra special care of Julz and made sure to send me picture updates often which we appreciate. Julz takes multiple medications as well and Gaby had no issues giving them to her. She was there a total of five days and we are very happy with her care and will definitely use Gaby again.”



“Mike took great care of Frankie while we were away for 10 days! She loved to explore his big yard, and it was clear when we picked her up how much she’d bonded with Mike and his wife.”


“Nathan was easy to work with and seemed very dialed in his systems and approach to care- it put us at ease to know he was organized and intentional about how he ran his boarding set up. We received great photos of our pup every day and felt confident that if needed he would be in contact with us for any issue! Thank you, Nathan!”
