“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”

“Our chihuahua/terrier Fitz loved his stays with Lan! He returns to her house with a hop in his step, running full speed ahead into her arms. His behavior says it all - he feels safe and we’ll cared for. What more could we ask? We live out of town and connected with Lan on a family visit - we hope to have Lan care for Fitz in future visits!”

Maria kept us posted with daily pictures and updates, did care wonderfully for Leia who had some issues with itching when we dropped her off. Thanks to Maria’s great care, Leia was fine within a few days. Extremely responsive and just a joy to have found such a responsible sitter. Thank you, Maria!”

Michelle and Stewie were the perfect match for my lil doggo. My dog Fiona is a little shy and awkward around new people. Michelle was great with giving fiona the right amount of attention and space so she could get comfortable. Her dog Stewie, on the other hand, seemed to get fiona right away made clear that they were going to be friends. According to the regular updates we received, Fiona was making herself at home and chillin' with her vacation pack without a thought for us (which is AMAZING for our sweet little rescue). Michelle also does day care in addition to boarding, so Fiona got some extra socialization with other four legged friends and had a blast! The videos and photos of Fiona, Stewie, and friends on walks or playing gave us a ton of joy and peace of mind that Fiona was in good hands. My wife and I are thankful we met Michelle and Stewie. They're definitely our first call the next time we need a dog sitter.
