My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.

Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!

Karl is an awesome sitter! You can really tell that you truly enjoys having dogs around. Every time we get to Karl’s, Zhuri sprints up to his house. We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with him and recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter!

Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.

Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!

Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!

Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

We were super nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger, but Alexandria immediately put us at ease with her amazing reviews and thoughtful profile. From the very beginning, we felt confident our dog was in great hands. She sent multiple updates and pictures every day, which truly meant the world to us. Honestly, after a few days, I was worried our dog wouldn’t even want to come back home! 😄 We would absolutely trust Alexandria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care.

This was our first time boarding the dog with someone and we were a little nervous but that quickly went away once we started interacting with Jessica! She did a great job communicating wrong with us and sending photos so we could see what a great time the dog was having! Very excited to book with her again for any future boarding needs!

Kaila has my recommendation with zero reservations. She went above and beyond navigating my dog's troubles with his food. She was perfect in her communication, and even drove to pick up special food for my pup. The end result was a healthy dog and my eternal gratitude. You're lucky if she's willing and able to help your dog and you!

Katie was great taking care of our 2 elderly rescue dachshunds. Making sure they ate even if they needed a little encouragement with some cheese and gave medicine for any anxiety the first night as they adjusted to their new surroundings. The dogs enjoyed being around her nieces and she was responsive. Highly recommended!

My puppy had such a good time with Zahria! We dropped him off and hoped he wouldn't cause too much distress, he can sometimes be a handful, but she took care of him very well. We got him back to some very excited tail wagging and he gives her four paws up!

Samantha is the best!!! We did a drop in before she dog sat for my little guy and he fell for her right away. She def has a great energy — dogs know these things! She was super communicative and made sure she asked all the questions so she knew how to take the best care of our dog. She also sent updates throughout like letting us know she got him, that he had been fed and went potty, and sending really cute pics which made me very happy ❤️ I would def recommend booking with Samantha and would totally book again ☺️
