We wanted him to feel cared for the whole time. I guess we couldn't find a more perfect fit for Alegria. Jose was very friendly and caring, he let us came into his house prior to boarding to make sure where a n d how Alegria was going to spend the night. Jose was always communicative as to what Alegria was doing and sent us a bunch of pictures with the updates. In top of everything, Jose also speaks Spanish which was very helpful because Alegria is also bilingual. Now we can rest assured in case we need to board him again. Gracias Jose.”

I couldn’t be happier with how Valentina cared for our baby!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog, Zevs, was in such good hands. The level of care, attention, and genuine love he received was truly beyond our expectations. Throughout the entire stay, we received constant updates — photos, and little notes about how Zevs was doing each day. It meant so much to us to see him happy, relaxed, and having fun with the other dogs. It was obvious that he was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoyed his time there. Zevs looked completely comfortable and settled, which says everything about the warm, calm, and loving environment he was in. We are incredibly grateful for the amazing communication, care, and effort. We’ll definitely be bringing Zevs back again — and recommending this sitter to everyone we know! Thank you for making our time away so much easier knowing our boy was safe, happy, and loved.”

Our dog just loves her and we can tell he gets very spoiled lol. She is so attentive and loving. She’s the only one I would leave my dog with. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets like family Book with Vanessa. Thank you again Vanessa! 😃”

Prior to that weekend, she came over to meet the cats and myself and run through their daily care routine. Even my shy cat Brody seemed curious about her. Wedding weekend, she was great at providing updates through text and photos throughout her stay, and I appreciated her attention to cleaning up their litter boxes and feeding mats one more time before she left. She has a gift for working with animals and is trustworthy and easy to communicate with. I will definitely use her again!”
“Beth was a huge help for us while we were traveling! The peace of mind knowing that our cats were taken care of and getting good human interaction was great. Both cats warmed right up to her, and her updates were always clear that food/water/litter had been taken care of. Thanks Beth!”

“We did not have a lot of interaction with Pennie as our plans were rather last minute. We dropped our dog ioff for the first time early in the morning and picked her up late that evening. Our dog came home happy and very much herself. This is a big deal because normally our dog comes home from boarding anywhere and is unhappy and sometimes even sick from stress. This tells me Pennie went to great lengths to make her happy and comfortable. Would definitely use Pennie again.”

Remy generally has some serious stranger danger, but warmed up to them both very quickly. You can just tell they are good caretakers and dog people. Their dog Rosie was also very sweet and friendly to both me and Remy. I received several pictures and the communication was great while I was away. They are located a little far from downtown but definitely worth the trip. I will be booking with Camille again!”
