“Lori was SO AMAZING with my 2 labs. I’m a nervous mama and she shared so many pictures and updates with me I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it! They are zonked out after pick up from all the walks and hikes! 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“We loved our experience with Vicky and Bob! They had great communication throughout our trip, paid such great attention to our dog’s needs. And most importantly gave her all the love and snuggles! We will be booking with them forever!”
“Elise was so wonderful with our 3 year old Irish doodle and our 5 month old toy schnauzer puppy! It was our first time boarding them with anyone who isn’t family, and we weren’t sure how they’d do. I’m sure we were more concerned than we needed to be, but she was so great communicating with us beforehand and reassuring us. She was so sweet with them when they met her, and we weren’t surprised at all that they warmed up to her so quickly. We could tell that she really cares, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for over a week. When we went to pick our pups up at the end of our trip, they were healthy and happy, and we were so appreciative of all her efforts. We would definitely rebook with Elise and also recommend her to friends in search of a pet sitter. Thanks, Elise!”
“Amber was great. Our dog Jake was very happy and made himself at home. Amber kept us informed with daily photos. She is obviously a dog lover. We were very pleased with her service.”
“Karin was great ! I dont know how she does it all between dog sitting & being a mom, but she does a great job. Seems to be a total natural response that she loves dogs. She had my dog, Stella,for a week and would send pics often. Stella was well taken care of. Thank you !”
“Tina was terrific. She takes care to be sure your dog is comfortable with her place. She has lots of space for your dog to run. Chickens, geese and rabbits to entertain the dogs. We will definitely go back to her for our future boarding needs.”
“Ashley is always fantastic with Lucy! She is great at sending me updates and Lucy loves her stays at there. When we arrived at her house, Lucy ran right to the front door excited to see Ashley!”
“Amy was absolutely awesome to our dog! We left him with her while we went to a lake resort for the weekend and when we picked him up we could tell he had a great time.”
“Teaira (and her family!) were super sweet with my dog and were flexible and accommodating. She was well taken care of and it was so nice to not have to worry while we were away! I would definitely use her again to watch my pup.”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Kimber and her family were wonderful sitters for our two pups. The home was perfect with a fenced in backyard and our pups received so much love and care while we were gone for over a week. They will be the first people we reach out to if our dogs need to be watched again. Thanks so much for taking great care of Kiko and Mishka.”
“Sylvia is truly a “dog whisperer”. I was so worried about leaving our dog (who thinks he’s human) and she was incredible. I received daily updates and she literally transformed this dog from a protective alpha to a charming alpha. I adore her! She was made for this.”
“Excellent sitter! He was kind, professional, and very responsive, making everything easy from start to finish. I really appreciated his communication and reliability. I would absolutely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“Lerin was amazing with our beagle! She clearly has a love for pets and her kiddos were great with our pup. She provided several check ins with photos and video. We hope to use Lerin again for our Roxy!”
“Katelyn was super sweet and so was her family. They kept our Golden and took great care of her, lovin on her like she was one of the family. She also took our pup on last minute and was so communicative and easy to work with. I Will definitely book again with Katelyn!”
“Michael, Wendy and their sweet family were amazing with our Charlie! We joked that he might be disappointed to get picked up! It was wonderful to have such peace of mind knowing our puppers was in great hands.”

“Bailey took such great care of our cat while we were out of town. She even vacuumed & swept the cat hair without being asked. Very easy to work with and got updates right on time every day. Would definitely want to work with her again!”
“Adrianna takes such good care of our kitty! Sends great pics and updates and always gives her much craved attention. We feel so much better leaving our cat in her care!”
“Phedre worked miracles with my sweet kitty l, Isabella! The vet's office had called her "spicy" for two years when I'd go to them for help with Isabella's biting/scratching/stalking/attacking; after six days of socializing with Phedre, Isabella snuggled peacefully with me when I returned home today!!!”
“Melinda is a great sitter! She took amazing care of our cat despite there being extra stress from our recent move. Was proactive and insisted on meeting us ahead of time which was comforting since we are new to the area. Overall we would absolutely book again!”
“Kassidy did an amazing job caring for our very loved senior cat Peach who needs frequent drop-in visits. We had lots of reassurance Peach was in good hands when Kassidy provided regular updates and photos of her while we were on an extended trip away from home. I definitely recommend Kassidy to anyone in need of a caring and capable cat sitter!”
“Rachel did an excellent job caring for our pets. She was responsive and we could tell she went above and beyond to care for our cat Toby! I would definitely book with Rachel again for our next trip.”
“We booked Alisa for a long trip we had planned. (9 days) From the very first meet & greet, my kitties were relaxed, curious and friendly with her. She did an awesome job. She arrived on time, and from the photos, I could see the cats were curious and slowly getting to know her. She gave me just enough little commentary to know all was well and to bring me a few smiles. She reached out with a couple of relevant questions. She also made our homecoming so great...all the trash was taken out, she vacuumed up the kitty litter that they always spill out, and it was clear that they were happy campers. Thanks so much Alisa, we look forward to having you back when we travel again.”
“Aaron continues to provide great care to my two cats. He is attentive and in constant communication as needed. I strongly recommend Aaron -- you and your furry friend(s) will be in good hands. Thank you Aaron.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life. I helped take care of a feral cat colony growing up and have had many cats with many different personalities come into my life. I understand a cats love is earned and I love building trust with them!
“Crystal did a great job with drop in visits for our cat over a 2 week period. She kept us updated on what our cat was up to, made sure to send us pictures and give him some pets, since he was missing us.”
“Kristi is always great! She did daily drop-ins to give meds to my cat while I was in the mountains, and helped out with my other cat. She even worked around the pet sitter who was house sitting. I loved receiving all the photos from each day when I reentered cell range. It was such a great feeling.”
“This sitter went above and beyond! We had to leave town for a few days and she was able to help with our last minute request. We loved seeing the picture updates and hearing about our rambunctious cats. Great communication and care. Thank you!!”

“They did amazing with my two Shih Tzus you can tell they felt safe and enjoyed their time there . I most definitely would take them again if I’m ever around the area visiting . They send you pictures for updated that’s a big yay 🙂 thank you so much for caring for my two pups .”
“Amy was awesome!! I had a last minute cancelation and she was able to watch rizzy short notice. Love the pictures she sent of rizzy being right at home and hanging out.”
“Elise was great with our dog and clearly knew how to handle dogs. She walked him before briging him inside which is a good way to help a dog connect with someone new. She sent photos throughout the day of our dog relaxing at her house and hanging with other dogs. We'll definitely reach out again when we need help with our dog!”
“Fantastic dog sitters! Zia loved running in their spacious backyard. She went for walks, played with toys and got much needed love and attention. Zia runs right up to their door excited every day. Great communication with lots of pics and videos. We highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a great time with Amber and Jasper! She was shy at first, but was zooming in the backyard in no time. ?? Great updates throughout the day were so appreciated.”

“Sarah was very considerate to my lil' puppers! She kept me updated through out the day with messages, pictures, and videos. They have a yard so my Tambi also had the chance to run around. They have one other dog that was very amicable towards my little one and overall I felt very comfortable leaving my Tambi with them for doggy daycare. Will definitely seeking their care again in the future!!”
“Haylie has been great for doggy daycare for my dog, Nugget! Communicates and always sends photo updates. Definitely recommend and will continue to use her for watching my dog!”
About: I’ve dog-sat since I was 7 for neighbors and grandparents, and I’ve had dogs my whole life. I truly love animals, especially dogs, with my whole heart. I’ve fostered 9‑week‑old golden retriever puppies until they were adopted. When I moved to Boise for college, one of the hardest parts was not having my dog with me every day, caring for dogs has always been a huge part of my life so I am excited to spend time with your dog! I just graduated from Boise State, so my schedule is very open right now! I have plenty of time to check in on dogs, take them for walks, and spend quality time with them. I live in an apartment with a small balcony and direct access to the greenbelt, which makes on-leash walks very easy! When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow each dog's normal routine, whether that is walks, playtime, feeding, and, of course plenty of affection! I truly love dogs, so I will go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy!
“Andi and Tim were awesome!! They met us with so much love, excitement and willingness to accept Rollie as her quirky self. Not only were they flexible but they sent me photos n messages to reassure me that Rollie was having the best time and in great hands while they got their dog fix haha. It was great and would 100% recommend them as well as love to book them again next time I’m in town.”
About: I recently graduated with my MBA and, while I figure out what comes next professionally, I’m currently home full time. That means I’m able to spend plenty of time with my dogs and any dogs staying with me rather than being gone at work all day. I’ve always had dogs in my life, starting when I was a child, and I truly cannot imagine my life without them. Everyone knows that person who walks into a room and says hello to the dogs before the people. That’s me. I’m absolutely that person. I currently have four dogs of my own, so dogs are a pretty big part of everyday life in our house. I have a Pomeranian, a Husky mix, and two Chocolate Labs. My dogs love other dogs, and having dogs ranging from a little Pom to large, energetic dogs has given me plenty of experience with different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. My Pom is 17 now and has definitely earned the right to take life at his own pace. These days, that often means being carried around by me rather than walking everywhere himself. He also has his own smaller fenced area within our large fenced yard so he can enjoy being outside without having to deal with the bouncing energy of the bigger dogs. If a visiting dog needs a little more peace and quiet outside, they are welcome to share his area too. Not every dog wants to be in the middle of the action all the time, and that’s perfectly fine here. For the dogs who DO want to be in the middle of the action, there is plenty of room in our large fenced yard to run, play, explore, or just hang out. And if your dog needs daily walks, I’m your girl! Mine insist on them, so walking is already part of my everyday routine. My Pom makes it about half a mile, my Husky gets around 2.5 miles, and my two Chocolate Labs need at least 3 miles. I walk all four separately, so everyone gets individual time and a walk that actually fits their needs. Adding another walk or two for a visiting dog is no problem, whether they need a long walk to burn off some energy or a short leisurely one to sniff everything along the way. Your dog will fit right in. Inside, there are dog beds and blankets throughout the house, although our dogs are also welcome to sleep with us. Basically, they sleep wherever they decide they are most comfortable. I want a dog staying with us to feel comfortable too, so I’m happy to follow what they are accustomed to at home as much as possible. I also take mealtimes seriously. Our Husky and Pomeranian eat separately, while our two Labs are comfortable eating together. Visiting dogs are typically fed separately from our dogs so everyone can relax and enjoy their meal without competition or unnecessary stress. Depending on the dog, that may be as simple as eating across the room or having a baby gate between them. I adjust based on the individual dogs involved because their comfort and safety matter more than having one rule that every dog has to follow. Some people might say my dogs are spoiled rotten. I prefer to say they are extremely well loved, and that is exactly how I treat the dogs who stay with me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, from seniors who prefer a quieter pace to younger dogs with energy to spare. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may need a little extra attention. Whether your dog is staying for daycare or boarding, I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for them. When a dog stays with me, they aren’t treated like a guest I’m watching. They’re treated like part of the family until their family comes back to get them. I am currently home full time, so I have lots of time to spend with my dogs and yours! My life is sincerely built around the happiness and comfort of my babies, and yours when they are with me. Our days already include individual walks, outside time, playtime, meals, plenty of attention, and, of course, lots of lounging and snuggles. Because I’m home, I also have the flexibility to adjust my routine to what your dog is used to. If they normally eat at a certain time, need multiple walks, take medication on a schedule, need more frequent potty breaks, or simply want someone nearby, I can accommodate that. Your dog doesn’t have to adjust to my schedule. As much as possible, I’ll adjust my schedule to theirs. We have a large, fully fenced yard with a smaller fenced area within it for little dogs or dogs who just want some peace and quiet. That way, if the big dogs are running around playing and being their usual goofy selves, the smaller or less energetic dogs don’t have to worry about getting run over! Visiting dogs are welcome to use whichever area makes them most comfortable. We also have multiple dog doors, so dogs can come and go as they need or want rather than having to wait for someone to let them outside. Since I’m home full time, I’m here to keep an eye on everyone throughout the day. I pay attention to each dog and what makes them comfortable. Dogs can be together when they enjoy each other’s company, but I also have plenty of space to separate them when someone needs a break. Meals are typically separated as well, either with physical space or a baby gate, so everyone can eat comfortably and safely without worrying about another dog getting into their food. My own dogs range from a 17 year old Pomeranian to a Husky mix and two Chocolate Labs, so I’m very accustomed to managing different sizes, ages, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I don’t expect every dog to behave or interact the same way. I’d rather adjust the environment to the dog and make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your routines and house rules. My goal is to keep things as familiar as possible for your dog while you’re away, because sometimes the best way to help them feel safe is simply to keep their world as normal as possible.
“DeHanna was super sweet with my pup! She was extremely quick to respond and I could tell Morel enjoyed being with her pack during a three day day care stay! Would absolutely book with DeHanna and crew again!”
“Silvia took amazing care of my two pups and made me feel completely at ease during their stay. She was very communicative and sent the best updates and photos throughout the day. I only wish I lived closer so I could use her again! Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! Kelly was so warm, welcoming, and flexible with our timing. Coco immediately felt at home and had a wonderful time playing with Deyo. Kelly went above and beyond by sharing local recommendations that helped us make the most of our quick Boise visit. We had complete peace of mind knowing Coco was in such caring hands. We are incredibly grateful and would happily book with her again!”
“I brought TWO dogs to Chunli very last minute. I had my dog and my daughter's dog. Chunli was incredibly sweet to them. She took them on several long walks and my daughter's dog is a RELENTLESS player with balls and Chunli very patiently played with her for way longer than I would have! They each had different feeding instructions and different dog foods and she followed all the instructions to the letter. The dogs were picked up at the end of a long day happy and barely even noticing I was there. I would totally use Chunli again.”
About: I have had Dogs my whole life. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs. I have taken care of friends and families pets throughout the years. I can administer medications if required. I I am semi-retired and work remotely from my home in the late evenings. I am able to give my full attention to your dogs wants and needs. Any time day or night. Pick up and drop off if needed. Any weather. I am reliable, mature, and very attentive to your pets. They will have a day full of activity, treats, and love. I treat your fur babies as if they were mine. Days full of walks and playtime, meals and hydration. I can stick to your schedule for meals, medications, and sleep. I am able to stop by, pick up and drop off, or board them overnight. Stop by with poop pick up services also. I know the anguish it is when having to leave your dogs in someone else care. I can assure you they will be safe and supervised 24/7. I can send updates and pics/videos throughout their stay with me. You can feel assured your dog will be in good hands while you go about your day/night or vacation.

“I was so worried about transitioning from Daycare to leaving my pup home all day and having Laramie has been so great. She made it super easy to set up the visits and always sends a photo or two so I know how he is doing during the day. She’s gives him his treat before he goes so he has something to do to keep him busy for a little longer which helps me feel better about the day alone. He’s been doing great with the transition and seems happy being home which is great!”
“Anastasia walked Miso for a month and it was a big help. She is sweet and gentle, and my dog Miso enjoyed the fun walks with her. He would ran to greet her every morning! Thanks Anastasia!”
“Bailey did a great job walking Jasper! She was very attentive to his needs (he’s a senior dog) and was excellent at following instructions for treat puzzles etc. Thank you so much, Bailey!”
“Caitlynn was doing walks/drop in visits with my dog when I was out of town. She is very responsive and I know my dog is in good hands with her. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so!”
“Rachel is so awesome! She is reliable, communicative, and best of all she loves my dog! I don’t have to worry at all going to work every day because I know my pup is in good hands :)”

About: Hi there, fellow pet lovers! I’m Cynthia, and I’m so glad you stopped by... I live in the beautiful North End of Boise and have been pet-sitting for years, caring for dogs and cats! Consider me your trusted ally who is dedicated to enriching your pet's daily experience while simplifying yours. I grew up with Saint Bernards, so handling large dogs is second nature to me. Our home was always full of animals—strays, rescues, and the occasional “foster fail” who became family. We made room for whoever needed it, and that mindset has stayed with me ever since. I’m comfortable with a full range of pet temperaments, whether they’re anxious zoomers or mellow seniors who just want a calm presence and some TLC. Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your pet is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out! Whatever kind of care your best friend needs, I’m happy to help with drop-in visits, walks, meds, belly rubs, playtime, you name it. Also, please ask me anything if you can't find it in my profile! I'm happy to discuss extra services that you or your pet needs to feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away! I am recently retired early from the tech industry and now have time to give back to my community and neighbors! I'm available 7 days a week, and for overnights if needed and if the fit is right! Contact me anytime, and we can coordinate something that works, whether it's just hanging out with your pet or having a fun adventure! I've lived a lifetime with pets and rescued animals, so for me they are family. I treat all living things with respect, understanding, and care. I'm always thinking ahead of potential scenarios when planning any outings, making sure I'm prepared with extra leashes, treats, and/or a strong understanding of an area and what to expect.
“Hannah was great with our dog! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup and would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.
About: Hi! I’m 26, a Boise State graduate and former Honors College student, and I’m currently working toward my master’s degree. I also work at St. Luke’s three days a week, which gives me a really flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience with pets that have very different personalities and needs. I grew up with a cat, lived with a very reactive Pit Bull in college, and now have a 6-month-old Lab puppy of my own. Because of that, I’m comfortable with everything from puppy energy and basic training to dogs that need a little more patience, structure, and awareness of their surroundings. Having my own puppy has definitely reminded me how much work goes into raising a young dog! I’m very used to potty schedules, frequent walks, reinforcing good habits, keeping puppies entertained, and making sure they don’t get into absolutely everything they can find. I’m extremely responsible, organized, and dependable, but I’m also the kind of person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet with someone new, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for by someone who will pay attention to their routine, personality, safety, and all the little details you give me. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a reactive dog who needs some extra patience, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and treat them like one of my own. I work 3 days a week and very rarely on weekends so I am very flexible and have a really easy ability to move my schedule around to come see your pet. I am very good at following directions and take pet safety very seriously. I am sure I accommodate your dog whether that means you have a large backyard or you live in a small apartment and the dog is crate trained.
“Stephanie is professional and a true animal lover. She is responsive to all of Rocky’s needs and appreciates his idiosyncrasies. Very responsive to communication and goes the extra mile.”
About: Hi! I have grown up around animals my whole life but in my adult life I have had one cat and one dog. My cat adopted me around 1 year of age and my dog I got when she was a puppy. Unfortunately both of my animals have passed away. My cat about 3 years ago and sadly my dog passed away in April of this year, 2026. I feel a huge hole without animals in the house but am just not ready to get another one yet. I work part time, only 12 hours a week therefore I am home the majority of the time. I live on quarter acre so my backyard is a very good size for a dog to run around, it is fully fenced as well. My dog had diabetes so I am used to giving dogs shots and feel very comfortable doing so. Please choose me to take care of your pet and give them lots of love! You wont regret it! I am currently working part time, 12 hours a week so I am home the majority of the time. My kids go to school during the week as well so my house is nice and quiet for animals to nap, relax, or get plenty of attention from me while the kids are away. I live on quarter acre so ai have a big backyard that is fully fenced perfect for a dog to run around in. My neighborhood is large with multiple walking paths perfect for taking dogs on walks to change the scenery. For dogs that have tons of energy I also have multiple common areas in my neighborhood perfect for throwing the ball long distances. I have plenty of space in my house for a crate if your animal is needing a space of their own or put in their crate at night.

“Lori was SO AMAZING with my 2 labs. I’m a nervous mama and she shared so many pictures and updates with me I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it! They are zonked out after pick up from all the walks and hikes! 10/10 will definitely book again!”
“Elise was so wonderful with our 3 year old Irish doodle and our 5 month old toy schnauzer puppy! It was our first time boarding them with anyone who isn’t family, and we weren’t sure how they’d do. I’m sure we were more concerned than we needed to be, but she was so great communicating with us beforehand and reassuring us. She was so sweet with them when they met her, and we weren’t surprised at all that they warmed up to her so quickly. We could tell that she really cares, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for over a week. When we went to pick our pups up at the end of our trip, they were healthy and happy, and we were so appreciative of all her efforts. We would definitely rebook with Elise and also recommend her to friends in search of a pet sitter. Thanks, Elise!”
“Colby and David were fantastic. They have a great set up for dogs and have very friendly dogs themselves. We received photos or videos every day letting us know that our dogs were getting such great care. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend to others.”
“Such a wonderful experience! Betsy was spoiled and loved on by Alisa’s entire family. This was Betsy’s 1st experience being cared for by someone we didn’t know-she felt completely at home and at peace,-which was so comforting for me. Alisa has a big yard and Betsy was in Heaven with all of the yard time and fetching fun! I had great communication with Alisa while I was away and she sent pictures and videos that were so special to see! I would highly recommend Alisa!”
“Amy was absolutely awesome to our dog! We left him with her while we went to a lake resort for the weekend and when we picked him up we could tell he had a great time.”
“Teaira (and her family!) were super sweet with my dog and were flexible and accommodating. She was well taken care of and it was so nice to not have to worry while we were away! I would definitely use her again to watch my pup.”
“There aren't enough good things that I can say about Chad and his family! Not only was he super responsive, but I definitely felt like my dog was in good hands. Throughout my trip, I received many photo updates, usually when my dog was out and about playing with other pups. Having someone that you can depend on is paramount and I hit the jackpot with Chad. THANK YOU!!! P.S. Jovie says hello 🙂”
“Just amazing sitters. They really treat your pup as one of their own. Hardest part of any trip is leaving your fur baby behind but it’s a little easier when you know he’ll have a blast and be in great hands! Thank you Debbie and Ryan once again!”
“Kimber and her family were wonderful sitters for our two pups. The home was perfect with a fenced in backyard and our pups received so much love and care while we were gone for over a week. They will be the first people we reach out to if our dogs need to be watched again. Thanks so much for taking great care of Kiko and Mishka.”
“Moya is amazing. I cannot recommend her high enough. I have an older dog so am always very careful with where I place him and she immediately put my worries to ease. Great communication before, during, and after. Family environment which was perfect for my dog. It felt more like an extension of my own care for my dog than trying to fit him into a different environment. Thank you Moya!!”
“Lerin was amazing with our beagle! She clearly has a love for pets and her kiddos were great with our pup. She provided several check ins with photos and video. We hope to use Lerin again for our Roxy!”
“Tyler has been great with our dog! This was our second time using Tyler and our dog was so excited to see him again. Tyler was willing to work with us when our travel plans got messed up. We are so grateful for his patience.”
“Katelyn was super sweet and so was her family. They kept our Golden and took great care of her, lovin on her like she was one of the family. She also took our pup on last minute and was so communicative and easy to work with. I Will definitely book again with Katelyn!”
“Michael, Wendy and their sweet family were amazing with our Charlie! We joked that he might be disappointed to get picked up! It was wonderful to have such peace of mind knowing our puppers was in great hands.”
“Amanda is amazing! My two pups love staying at her house. Amanda adores her own dogs and treats them like family, and when my girls were with her they got the same attention, love, and care that she gives her own. I felt VERY comfortable leaving my dogs there for the first time. I knew they were in great hands and were living their best life while I was away. Amanda took them on lots of walks and sent many cute pictures and updates, too. She was also very willing and happy to do things the way our pups are used to at home. Thank you, Amanda! Poppy and Sunny will definitely be staying here again.”
