Our girls had a fantastic time with Jennifer and her pups! Jennifer sent photos and updates every day, putting my mind at ease while we were out of town. The girls loved spending time with Jennifer’s pups, and they got to go on lots of walks and adventures! I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they were provided :)

Jennifer is definitely among the greatest sitters you can get! She was so caring and accommodating. Her cats are also very sweet and sociable, it was great to see how well they got along with my cat Tori. She also sent a lot of photos and videos so I can tell Tori is having a great time at Jennifer's place. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to board their fur babies!

We left our dog with Laronna for the second time now and this time was longer. She set up a doggy meet up date to make sure all the dogs that she cares for including her own get along well. This showed she really cared, we also got a tour of the backyard and the space look up dog would be sleeping and playing in. We got plenty of pictures a dnvudeos everyday of our trip. Our doggo had the best time and she was well taken care of. We could not recommend her enough!

Another great stay for Petey and Daisy at Adolfo's! We truly appreciate the fact that we can leave our pups with someone who treats them as their own. Photos and updates everyday are wonderful! They even got a bath and their beds washed. They were exhausted when they got home so I know they had some great walks and play time! Thank you so much Adolfo for the loving attention you give them - it means so much.

Timmy was comfortable and well cared for while he was with Leslie. She has a wonderful park-like environment right out her front door and two cheerful, good natured cockers to make Timmy feel right at home. He is 14 years old and nearing the end of his life, and he did well while we were gone because of Leslie's big heart and service. She loves dogs, young or old, it is easy to see.

Kayla recently kept my pup over the Thanksgiving holiday. This was my pups second stay with Kayla and as with the first stay, care was excellent! I can't recommend Kayla enough. Kayla clearly loves animals and treats your pup as you would like him/her treated. Text & photo updates come in frequently and pups come home tired from play & walks. Thanks Kayla.

Julia and Quentin were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Scooby! While I was busy packing and moving to a new apartment, they took such great care of him taking him for lovely walks in Forest Park, sending me regular updates, and sharing the sweetest photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and loved. They’re both so kind, reliable, and clearly love dogs. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters!
