1. Kathryn B.
“My yellow lab had a fantastic couple of days. He got to swim, run around, and play ball, so that’s a 5 star stay in his book. Kathryn kept me updated and sent photod and was very accommodating for pick up and drop off. Would definitely use her again!”
2. Rachel & Ivan L.
“My pet had the best of care in this home! From the very beginning, I knew that my dog was comfortable He loved the fenced in backyard along with all the special attention! Additionally, I appreciated the communications and feedback that I received in regard to his adaptation. I highly recommend this home for providing top-notch care for your pet!”
3. Kimberly & Jeremy S.
“They took good care of my dog bama, they messaged back fast and sent pictures every time I asked and even when I didn’t. I feel comfortable to leave her with them again in the future and I highly recommend them .”
4. Jared W.
“Jared was wonderful on all aspects. We had some interesting travel plans that changed a couple times and Jared was very accommodating from the start. He's very communicative and friendly. Our 2 huskies stayed at his house for 5 days, he has a perfect backyard set-up for dogs, fully fenced in (huskies are escape artists) that was very secure and he seemed to let them find their spots inside as they wanted when it was time to rest. Our dogs are used to finding comfy spots around the house and Jared let them treat his home like it was what they were used to. We got picture and video updates along the way letting us know how they were doing. Jareds dog Charlie was super sweet and you can tell he loves all people and dogs, our boys loved being around him and even got one of our dogs that doesn't play/socialize much to play with him. It made us very happy with our choice to use Jared for our boarding needs, couldn't recommend him more. We've had hit or miss experiences with Rover previously, Jared is the best by far. Thank you!”

14. Ally W.
About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats along with some exotic animals as well so I have knowledge in just about all types of pets needs. I am also passionate about dog training and would love to help in any way I can. I work at a dog grooming salon so I will be in the same location as the dog on a daily basis. There is almost always someone here to let them potty, play, and feed them and when there isn't it is only a few hours maximum. We have outdoor kennels for boarding (weather permitting) as well as a fenced in yard and inside crates to keep the dogs separate. We do not let dogs from different households interact to keep them all safe.
15. Colleen J.
“Colleen watched our German Shepard for the weekend while we were away. She provided updates, pictures and her daughter even helped out with quick vet exam!! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her family. We will certainly use Colleen again!”
16. Karen G.
“Karen was amazing. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. My dogs had an awesome stay in her beautiful fenced in yard. She sent pictures daily. Highly recommend and plan on using her in the future.”
17. Deb F.
“Deb was a 10/10 sitter for our pup! She is everything you would want in someone who is caring for your animal. She takes them in as if they are her own. Our minds were at ease for our dog’s entire stay - she was so caring and sent picture updates to let us know how he was doing. We will definitely be using Deb again in the future!”
18. Daniel B.
“Our little dog’s experience with Daniel was excellent. Daniel is warm and loving to his dogs and to visiting dogs as well. His two dogs are friendly, senior and low key. Our dog came home relaxed and clearly well cared for. I would certainly come back!”
19. Jason L.
“This silly app would only let me tip 30% but I wanted to tip more. Will tip cash next time and I hope you all will also. Our boy was so well loved and cared for. Will use Jason any and every time!”
20. Emily S.
“Emily took real good care of our shy sheltie. She played fetch with the frisbee that our dog loves and made her feel comfortable in new surroundings. I would highly recommend Emily.”
