Kari, Joseph, and their kids were phenomenal with our last-minute booking of our boxer, Peanut! Their home is beautiful and spacious in a lovely neighborhood. They’re communicative, provided a crate (which made our lives so much easier). They were flexible when we were a few minutes late to pickup and were totally understanding. We’ll absolutely book with them again!

Barbara is so great with animals and does a great job making them feel at home. Our dog had a great time and enjoyed her visit with the family. I loved all the photos to see how our dog was doing throughout the day. Wonderful job!

Rackeem is a true professional. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, detail-oriented, responsive, and kind. We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!

Jenny was so great with Lumie. She gave us updates and photos everyday and we felt that Lumie was in good hands. We couldn't make it on time for the already late pick up but she had no problem looking after Lumie for 2 more hours. We will definitely book her again for our future sitter needs. Thank you so much, Jenny!

We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.

Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.

Mike was great! We did a couple meet and greets prior to our vacation to make sure we were comfortable. Then, while we were gone, he stopped in a couple times a day to make sure our dog Gracie was good and cozy, while also providing pictures and updates! Would definitely recommend!

Jen was so gentle and encouraging to my dog; she provided a safe and nurturing environment. I was very pleased with that she gave periodic updates, with pictures. My dog made some new doggy friends. The socialization with other dogs was very good for him. I highly recommend Jen to care for your pet.

You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.

Marie was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Kobe, while we were away for about a week. From the start her communication was superb. She was patient and understanding throughout the booking process. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear how much she cared for him. She brushed him, played with him, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Kobe came home well taken care of and loved, just like he would be at home. Marie is trustworthy, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. We’re so grateful for her and would not hesitate to have her watch Kobe again. Highly recommend!

Amrita was amazing. She took great care of my dog Starky! She was very accommodating to my picky eater. When I picked him up after his stay, he came running to me then went back to her which tells me how much he loved her. Thank you Amrita for taking care of Starky as your own!

Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!
