Great job! We had a hard time leaving our recent rescue. They really helped her feel comfortable, gave lots of attention, and gave us frequent updates and pictures. She had a great time there and we were at ease knowing she was being well cared for.

My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.

Cindy took wonderful care of Norman! She was very conscientious with his care, communicated well, and sent great pictures. Norman has a difficult temperament sometimes, but Cindy made him comfortable in her home and was able to reliably give him his medication. I would definitely trust her with your pets!

Our dogs had an amazing stay with this daughter and mom duo. They gave us daily updates and we can tell they loved our dogs like their own. They had a nice yard and space for the dogs to go out and play in! Even with the yard space they still took them on walks and played ball with them. We will definitely book with them again in the future!

I recommended her to my friend who lives in the area, and I hope my pups can stay here again next time we’re in town!

Jessie did a great job taking care of our dog. From the first time Alpha met Jessie, he felt comfortable with her. She communicated well and kept me up to date on how Alpha was adjusting to his new environment and sent cute photos. She’s a licensed vet tech which helps your mind at ease that your pet is in good hands.

Emily and her family took great care of Finn the week we were away. I know they all had a great time because of the video clips and photos she shared and that Finn conked out as soon as we got home. Emily is easy to stay in touch with and didn't hesitate to let us know when she had a concern. I have no hesitation leaving Finn with them and am glad we found them!

I give Lena my highest recommendation as a dog sitter! I am writing this review in reference to our experiences on two separate occasions. The first time we had Lena sit for our dog Daisy (a 4 yo pit mix) was a great experience. We always look for someone to watch Daisy who enjoys spending time with her and wants to have fun and Lena went above and beyond by not only taking Daisy on walks but also all sorts of hikes and adventures (we even got a cool photo of her wearing sunglasses!). Lena also dealt with some issues of Daisy having to go potty in the middle of the night very competently and professionally. She watched Daisy for 11 days and Daisy was well taken care of and happy when we picked her back up. The second time we had scheduled with Lena to watch Daisy for one night and Lena had a family emergency come up (a totally valid reason to cancel). Instead of simply leaving it to us to find a backup, Lena helped coordinate with her roommate to watch Daisy, which worked out great. Lena that she is not only able to take great care of dogs, but she is also a thoughtful and responsible person.
