During Walle’s entire stay, I was getting multiple pictures, videos and updates on how he was doing, so at no point was I worried or concerned. Seriously, don’t hesitate - these guys will take phenomenal care of your dog. 100 outta 10 would recommend, THANK YOU Joseph and Nieves!!????”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dexter
“Maisie had such a good day with Jessica, and came back tired and happy. Jessica sent sweet photos and let me know throughout the day that Maisie was doing well. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy there for the day. I definitely recommend her. Thank you so much!”
“Nancy was amazing with Sunny! She has a beautiful fenced backyard, and he came home happy and tired. She was also very flexible when our white water rafting trip ran late. Highly recommend her to anyone needing dog care in the area. Thank you so much, Nancy! ❤️”
“Jen was a great dog-sitter! Our dog was excited to explore her home, which seemed very dog-friendly, and there was a great long road to take walks on. Jen sent us updates, pictures, and was overall an easy-going and conscientious person! She asked us how we wanted our dog to be treated, what rules we have at home, what he can and can't play with, etc. She seemed to be really confident around dogs, and our dog liked her immediately.”
“Mazzy had a great time with Paige. It was kind of a last-minute request but she was available, which helped a lot! Place was cozy and loving humans were ready to watch Mazzy which is so appreciated. Would recommend Oaige again 🙂”
“Thank you so very much, Nancy! You are amazing!!! Thank you for being so kind and welcoming, and taking loving care of Oakie. You made it such a positive experience for us, and for that I give endless gratitude. You have the biggest animal heart <3 and anyone reading this should know they can trust you to offer wonderful, attuned care for any of their family members. 🐾 The animals and we all are so lucky to know you. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your self, your time, your treats and your home with us these past two long days. Much love!!”
“Amber was amazing with Finn! She was attentive, loving, and kept me very informed of how his day was going. She picked up on a war issue he was having and made sure I knew there may be an issue. I will DEFINITELY be booking with her again.”
“Joseph and his partner were fantastic. Our puppy was shy at the beginning, and they made her so comfortable. We were nervous to leave her, but they sent videos of her happily eating minutes after we left and of her playing with the other dogs soon after. They were also so accommodating. We dropped her off around dinner time to go to a concert in Bangor and picked her up late. When we picked her up, it was clear she had a great time. We would definitely come back!”
“Danielle welcomed Kassi into her calm home environment and took great care of her. She was responsive when we messaged her, and understanding of our fur baby’s quirks. Kassi even felt comfortable enough to eat a treat (something she never does day 1 in a new place). Highly recommend!”
