“Our dog Gatsby has stayed with Edith on multiple occasions and always has a wonderful time! We love all of the updates that Edith sends and we know that he is getting the best of care while we are away. Even when our dog has less than stellar behavior Edith takes it all in stride and keeps us updated. Thank you Edith!”


“Willow seemed to enjoy her stay with Kristin and Bruce! They sent sent us status updates and pictures every day so that we knew how she was doing. I'd definitely board with them again!”


“Our dog Wallace is always excited to visit "Uncle Bob". The update photos from his recent 4 day stay showed a smile on his face every time. Robert is a top notch provider and we appreciate his flexibility with the changes to our last service. We highly recommend Robert!”


“Michelle is amazing! She was so communicative and provided lots of pictures. Good updates and very receptive. She took the time to really listen to my dogs backstory. I knew my dog was being well taken care of and I would absolutely have her watch him again!”


“Amazing people who love and care for my pup while he is with them - they also send the cutest pictures and updates! They were also super understanding when I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick my dog up.”

“Emily was great. She had quick communication and accepted my booking fast. I needed my buddy boarded for a few hours the next day due to a job interview and didn't have many options. Emily had great communication and was easy to work with. I would recommend her to others in the future. I just hope Rudy treated her well.”


“Christine to great care of my dog! She has a lot of experience and knowledge about dog training as well, and was very flexible and went out of her way to make sure that Pretzel was going to be a good fit with her other dogs. She took him to the dog park a bunch of times over the week, and sent a lot of photos!”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”


“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”


“Okay, if you need a sitter or boarding, look no further! I was so lucky to find Janice and Mark at the last minute while passing through Madison. They have a great house, yard and walkable neighborhood all of which my Trixie must have loved because she was not that worried about coming home with me. I was so grateful and felt lucky to have met them!”


“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”


“Julie was absolutely fantastic. She knows dog behavior very well and I completely trusted her with my 12 week old puppy who is very nervous. Julie went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“If you're seeking a loving, attentive and communicative caretaker for your dog/s, you will find all that and more with Manuela. My dogs and i spend 24/7 together and Manuela cared for my pups for the first time we were separated. Needless to say I was anxious and nervous about displacing my pups from their home, routine and familiar surroundings. With the compassion, positive and gentle energy, Manuela made the adjustment possible. Pics of the pups daily fun and nap times were always provided. I became relaxed and confident I made the right choice in selecting Manuela to create a loving home and comfortable environment for the 4 days of their "vacation", making my time away from them manageable. 🙏 Manuela and hugs from me and my pack til we see you again!”


“My dog had a great time staying with Grace while I was out of town for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and updates so I knew she was doing well. She got lots of walks and came home super happy and tired. She even whined when we left to say she was sad she was leaving lol. We would definitely book with Grace again!”


“Da Yeon and her partner were great with Teddy! I think he’s mad to be coming home with me lol. Saved me when I had a vacation already planned and wasn’t planning on having Teddy at this time, felt super bad being a new cat mom having to leave, but he was in great hands.”


“Cleda was so great! We really appreciated how professional she is, she clearly takes the job of watching dogs very seriously. We particularly liked when she would send pictures and updates to let us know how our pup was doing in his new surroundings, and then we got a very detailed report card after the whole visit! It was so cute and helped us feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book again with Cleda!”

“I have found my new forever sitter. Poly and her family welcomed my dog into their home and kept me updated with photos, videos and text. I will surely use again.”

She got lots of walks and came home super happy and tired. She even whined when we left to say she was sad she was leaving lol. We would definitely book with Grace again!

Zorro absolutely loved his stay with Manuela. She was so kind and patient with him. He can be a challenging dog with his separation anxiety but Manuela handled it with ease. We would absolutely trust her to take care of him again. We got so many fun photos while we were away. Highly recommend her services to anyone!!

Drew was great! This was my first time using Rover, and Drew made me feel very comfortable. I appreciate that he did a meet and greet before the stay, and he was very responsive with communication. I also liked the updates and pictures during my dog's stay. I would definitely recommend and use him again in the future!

Brenda was welcoming and sweet with our lil chihuahua mix Newman. He is usually shy to new people and environments, plus it was his first time boarding, but he settled pretty quickly. Her cat was chill so the 2 pets were just fine being around each-other. Brenda had no problem adapting to our somehow uncertain schedule (we were in town for a concert) and shared updates throughout the night. If we are in the need of a sitter, we’ll definitely reach out to her! I don’t think the experience gets any better than this ❤️ Thanks Brenda for making it so swift!

We needed a very last minute overnight board for our dog while we were visiting Madison. Taylor was so responsive and sweet right off the bat. Our dog is 13, not used to other people or places, but she spoiled him and made him feel right at home. She provided plenty of updates and pictures over the weekend. We highly recommend Taylor!

Lauren watched my 1 year old puppy for 4 nights, and she was extremely accommodating with drop off & pick up, as well as a meet & greet on short notice. Lauren took good care of her and sent lots of adorable photos playing, sleeping, and on walks. I would definitely recommend her.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She took amazing care of my 45-pound Labrador-retriever puppy overnight and was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive. What really stood out was her flexibility—she was understanding with timing and made the whole experience stress-free. My pup came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving care!
