“Lisa was kind and capable and asked all the right questions. Her house was tidy and ready for a wandering pup. She saw that my dog was feeling antsy at the start of his visit and took him for a walk to help him calm down a bit. She was easy to schedule with and got back to me quickly in general. I will definitely be booking additional stays with her!”

“Don sent us lots of pics which was very appreciated. He’s conscientious about everything and great with dogs. I could tell my dog had a great relationship with him when I came to pick him up. His dog is also a great influence and became good friends with mine over his stay. We will definitely contact Don again.”

“Lajetta took such great care of our pup noodles while our family went on vacation. She treats our pup not just like a dog but like a little human! She provided a luxurious room for our pup with plenty of toys and walks. I loved seeing all the pictures she sent us everyday and always responded promptly to any messages I sent. Noodles got to socialize with other small dogs her size which was wonderful. Gotta to admit a little jealous how much my puppy loves her in such a short time.”

Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”

“As always, Peter took excellent care of Loki. Regular photos and updates made our time away from Loki, less worrisome. Peter was sharing details about Loki’s food (picky eater) and took for walks regularly. Loki misses Peter after reaching home , that’s the level of care Peter provided for Loki 😀🙏 Thanks so much Peter.”

“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”

It was obvious he was a happy boy under the loving attention provided by his sitters. Our Freddie is an old guy who can be slow to warm up and be animated. Under Christine and Steven's kind care he blossomed. We are so glad to have had their eyes on our sweet Freddie. Highly recommend!”

We had a great first time booking with Brittany! She was always quick to respond and kept us in the loop with lots of photos and updates. She was also extremely proactive about an issue with our dog’s paw that she noticed and went above expectations to help to manage the issue until we returned. Will definitely rebook again in the future!

Peter took very good care of our 2 dogs (one puppy and one senior dog). They got plenty of love, exercise and playtime. We got very nice personalized daily updates with photos. You can tell he genuinely cares and loves dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! It's an added bonus his son lives with him and was able to give them attention too.

Rover is a fussy dog and maybe a little spoiled. Juan was courteous and thoughtful and contacted us when Rover's physical conditions and behaviors would change. He kept us updated with Rover's progress until they subsided. Rover was a bit distant at the beginning, which is our dog's nature, Juan was able to draw her out of her shell and became more interested in paying with Juan and he earned her affection. We will use Juan for our next trip where we cannot bring Rover.
