“I met Michael and he's great. Very nice, responsive, helpful and flexible. I was super grateful to Michael for taking Moose last minute when plans fell through with another sitter. Got daily updates and picture of Moose having the BEST time ever. Moose enjoyed a huge property with a creek, other sweet dog friends to play with and AC which we don't have at home, what a luxury! Would absolutely recommend.”
“Riitta is by far the best dog sitter we have ever had take care of our Shih Tzu, Belle. Riitta is a small dog specialist and has years of experience taking care of them, so it was an easy decision to leave our little girl in her care. Riitta has a beautiful large, fenced backyard, a doggie pool for those hot summer days and takes the little pack inside her air conditioned home when it gets too hot. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated with Belle's daily routine and her interaction with all the other dogs. Riitta even hand-fed Belle (she's a picky eater) and had her sleep with her. Riitta is very caring and treats every dog like they're one of hers. It was a huge relief to find Riita and I will continue to use her invaluable service in taking care of our beloved Belle. Her daily rate is comparable to some kennels, but Riitta's dogs are not in a crate or a pen, they have a grassy playground and play with toys, have a pool, a ball pit. It's like summer camp for little dogs. I highly recommend Riitta as a sitter for your small dog. She's amazing!”
“Victor watched our 9 month old retriever for a week. He was quick to respond and sent us a photo every day. My dog also enjoyed playing with his dog. Will be re booking with Victor again!”
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
“We always leave Mingus with John whenever we're away! Every time we leave Mingus with him, we know he is in caring and attentive hands. John is reliable, communicative, and treats Mingus like his own. Highly recommended!”
“Natalie is wonderful! As soon as we got there she made me and my girl comfortable. My dog is very perceptive with people and animals. If she isn’t comfortable she won’t go near them. Immediately my dog was wagging her tail and happy to be there. Likewise, when we picked her up she was happy. While greeting us she kept going back to Natalie as well. I will definitely want my girl to stay with Natalie again. What a relief to find a loving compassionate caring home for my girl when we need one”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Lisa. We are so happy to have found a great companion for our sweet boy, who loves him just as her own. Lisa always goes above and beyond to make sure her special furry boarders are well taken care of, loved, and engaged during their stay. Thank you again Lisa for the wonderful care you gave to Odin.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Romy! She took excellent care of Uni and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. Romy was reliable, communicative, flexible and treated our dog like her own. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

About: I have had small dogs my entire life and recently lost my beloved fur baby after 18 wonderful years together. Welcome all ages. I have extensive experience providing the extra love, patience, and care that older dogs need, including managing the challenges that come with aging. All of my dogs have lived beyond 15 years old, and I have personally experienced the many stages of senior care—from mobility changes and special routines to simply providing comfort, companionship, and a safe, loving environment. I understand that senior dogs require extra attention, and I treat every dog as a cherished member of the family. I currently work full time from home, which allows me to provide constant companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. Your beloved family member would never be left alone and would receive the same love, patience, and comfort that I have always given my own dogs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own. While I do not have a fenced yard, I provide a safe and supervised environment at all times. Your dog would always have my full attention and would either be right by my side or safely on a leash when outside. Their safety, comfort, and happiness would always be my top priority.
“Julie Ann was terrific. My two boys came home better trained than when they arrived at her place! Aside from taking good care of our dogs overnight, she shared with me some tips on how to have them walk better on leashes. She was able to accomplish in 5 minutes what I have been working on for 4 years! We will be booking again with her for a longer stay later this summer.”
“Hyeyoung and her family took great care of George! She sent great updates each day about George. Her photos are amazing! She made George look like a vogue doggy. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Dean and Dawn were wonderful with Charlie! They accommodated us at the last minute, sent us pictures, and seemed to genuinely enjoy having her. Charlie had so much fun playing Frisbee, had plenty of open space to run and play, and slept comfortably at their home. We really appreciated knowing she was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Fiona was so loving toward my Coco and cared for him like her own. Coco felt safe with her right away and there was miraculously no separation anxiety at drop off! I received adequate communication on my trip and was thrilled to pick up a very happy and clean pup at the end of a whole week. Thank you Fiona!”
“Rebecca is everything you could ever want for your god in a sitter. Responsive, communicative, kind, caring, and trustworthy. You can tell how much she loves animals with the many updates and pictures to know they are being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough to trust with your pet if you are in need of a sitter. Thank you for loving my pup as much as I do!”
“Our standard poodle Buster-Matisse loves to come stay at Jo & Kin’s. I love picking up a happy dog. Jo lives out in the country and the dogs have a bit of space to roam. This is our second time with Jo, and we’ll be back again!”
“Rochelle and her husband took such good care of our senior dog. She kept us updated on his adventures while we were traveling. I know that he enjoyed him time with them! Thanks for taking such good care of him. It was a pleasure.”
“Robin is the best and is one of the most caring dog sitters I've had!! It's truly in her heart to take care of dogs. Not only did we get many photos but we got many updates of our Lesio that he was so happy at Robins's house with her Dogs and so well taken care of. We highly recommend using Robin and we will continue to for future trips to Stevens! Thanks again!!”

“Susannah was fantastic at communicating the status of our pet during her visits. She brought in our packages and even put the garbarge cans in from the curb, helping keep our house safe. We would definitely book Susannah again.”

About: For 30 years I’ve been an animal lover and I’ve worked with animals throughout my life! I currently have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd mix and we love exploring the outdoors and working on training together! Growing up I trained my family dog in 4H showmanship, agility, and obedience. I also worked 5 summers as a horseback riding instructor and have worked in many other outdoor and environmental education programs. I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality and I am confident that I can work with any dog’s special needs, whether medical or behavior related. I appreciate that the connection and relationships we build with non-human animals are unlike any other and should be cherished! I am currently guiding backpacking trips at different points in the summer, but outside of that I am fully available for quality furbaby care services! I would love to take your dog on walks in their neighborhood, at the dog park, or even on hikes depending on your preference! I am comfortable and confident with all types of dogs and special needs, whether medical or behavioral. I can also furbabysit small dogs in my home with my friendly pup, Cedar! I always treat every furbaby with the same respect, care, and attention I would give to my own pup!
“Sara was great with the kitties. She managed Scarlet’s medicine schedule as well as ensured that they got some play time and attention each day. She was very communicative and send a few great pictures of the kitties while we were away so we could keep up with how they were doing. A++”

“Love dropping our dog Timber off here! We left her here once as a puppy and again today & it was lovely that they remembered her! They've got a great big fenced yard that's always filled with loving dogs who are ready to play w our Timber. Easy drop off and an affordable price, can't be beat!”

She was very attentive and you can tell she just loves animals. I will definitely be using her as s regular sitter in the future, in fact Ive got her taking care of Oscar at our home this weekend!”
About: Hello my name is Jenny. I currently live in Gold Bar, but I am more than willing to travel to the Monroe area, as far East as Index. I grew up with pets my entire life, everything from goats to ferrets & everything in between. I can not remember a time in my life that I did not have some sort of pet around. I have a very flexible schedule as I am home full time. I am available everyday during the week & Saturday. I can be at your place as early as 6:00am and as late at 3:00pm. As of right now I am not able to watch your dog at my home or overnight stays at my home as our backyard fence is being repaired. With that being said I am more than eager to come to your home to watch your furry friend(s). I am open to coming over to do potty breaks, walks, small hikes or anything else that is needed. As of right now I do not have any dogs but I do have 3 cats, we are in the process of getting a dog from the Everett Humane Society. I believe every dog/animal deserves a home. Unfortunately the following pictures you will see do not contain dogs, they are my cats as I have lived in a apartment for the last 9 years that did not allow dogs. 6 months ago we moved into a 3 bedroom 1238 sq foot house, so the hunt for a dog/puppy is on. I can't wait to have a dog in my life again, be it one of my own or your dog(s). I am home at all times, which allows me to be able to spend the entire day/night with your pup. I am available Mon - Sat from 6:00am to 3:00pm. I have a fairly good size backyard that is completely fenced, when the pups need to go out someone is out there with them at all times. If it is an overnight stay, I do have a crate if they are crate trained.
About: I am genuine and very open to communication. I love pets and meeting them. I care for pets as they are my own providing safety, fun and loving environment. I work from home and I have a lot of free time. I have a big yard and I enjoy the company of pets. Walking and playing with them helps me as lot too! I have a small yorkie and a big fenced backyard. I have a lot of nature around me and lots of energy for pets! Since I have my own pet I know how to care for other dogs and make sure they are safe and happy

“Dawn was fantastic with Pepper! She took great care of her, and Pepper was happy and comfortable the whole time. Super easy to communicate with, and the scenic drive out to her place was a lovely bonus. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
About: Your pet will be treated like part of our family! My wife and I care for pets together, providing plenty of affection and playtime. We have years of hands-on experience with our own 3 dogs and 2 cats and are comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and plenty of space to separate pets when needed for meals, sleep, quiet time, or slow introductions. We’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including any special instructions. Whether they love to play, lounge, or cuddle, our goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. We’re also happy to send photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of our everyday routine! We’re currently home full-time with a very open schedule (with preference for drop-off/pick-up from 2-7pm), and my wife and I share in caring for our own pets and our guests. This allows us to offer 24/7 availability and plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room for safe outdoor play and access to additional adjoining private property for supervised adventures. Inside, pets are welcome to relax, play, and make themselves at home. We can also separate pets or provide a private space when needed for meals, sleeping, decompression, slow introductions, or pets who simply prefer their own space. Crates are recommended if your pet is crate-trained and comfortable using one. If they are groomed before (which we can add on to their stay), then they can even have bedtime with us and all our pets! Our home is regularly cleaned, and we take introductions seriously so everyone can be comfortable together. We’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide to make their stay as safe, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
“Our border collie Luna enjoyed every day with Melissa and her family! Melissa is super communicative and is eager to learn about what works best for you and your doggo. Melissa's three children loved playing ball with Luna and she loved all their attention! We highly recommend Melissa and family for your next doggie daycare/boarding.”
“Kyle & Marissa are the best! Super easy to communicate and work with, and really welcoming and awesome with our pups. Moose & Bunny played, took a walk, and came home super tired, which is always what you hope for. We got updates and photos, and felt totally comfortable leaving them. This is a great family, and we'll definitely book with them again. Fun fact: they even sent us home with a goodie bag from their apple trees and garden! Thanks, y'all :)”
“Natalie is always cheerful and sweet, she loves having Chewie as a guest. She has sent a small ball home with us twice because this is Chewie's favorite toy! I will use her again and recommend her!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all energy levels, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience with cats and a variety of animals. Over the years, I've cared for everything from iguanas to ferrets and truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time, typically during the mornings, which leaves the rest of my day flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I have a lifelong love of animals and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During our meet and greet, I'll take the time to learn about your pet's routine, needs, personality, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive care that helps your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
About: I LOVE dogs of all types, especially medium to large breeds that love to walk. I have owned multiple dogs at one time and we live in a great location, by the river with lots of trails & dog friendly walking terrain. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to roam, allowing for frisbee & ball play time keeping the pups & humans engaged. Your fur friend will not be alone & we will offer free pets, walks & play time, as we have a pup as well who is Mr. Social! I’m currently working part time as a fitness coach close by & sub teacher & generally home most of the time. I love medium to large dogs, but just recently lost our 17 year old little dog. I have a fully fenced yard and always monitor our dogs outside. Inside, we use a fenced off area to keep dogs out of kitchen & downstairs. I prefer no dogs on furniture and up to date on vaccines.
“If I could give Manish 6 stars I would! He agreed to watch my two Malinois last minute, one of whom is a bit reactive. He prioritized a meet’n’greet to make sure all dogs felt comfortable; I was at ease instantly seeing him work the dogs through calming exercises to get to know each other. My reactive pup calmed down within minutes and ended up having a great time with his dog, Odin. He sent photos during their doggy day care visit and the pups came home happy and tired. Definitely recommend, I will book again!”

I LOVE ANIMALS putting in the time an dedication to an animals care, needs an happiness throughout their stay. I like to give updates an send photos. My favorite is seeing how excited a dog gets during pick up after a stay it's so heartwarming an just flat out adorable. I would love if you made a lil resume/cover letter for your pet on their needs, typical schedule, habits, an anything I would need to keep an eye on. I expect all dogs that come into my care to be dog friendly for the safty of all pets involved with reliable recall. I like to accommodate pets to the best of my ability I get immense joy from being able to take care of animals of all kinds. I would love if in your animals care package they have at least 1 toy, harness is preferable, something that smells like you an your home like their bed or a blanket (animals are smell based so it a comfort), their food bowl, dog food enough for the stay. An a little letter at least to tell me feeding an walking schedules.
“Melodie was wonderful with Pepper! She kept us updated throughout the day and made us feel completely at ease. Pepper had so much fun and got lots of playtime and attention. We’d absolutely trust Melodie with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. The best review Pepper can give is that she came home happy, exhausted, and slept the rest of the evening!”
“Giovanna did an amazing job taking care of Java. It was the first time for my pup and he is very shy with other people (he doesn’t let anyone pet him but me). But 10 mins after leaving him, Giovanna sent me a pic of her petting Java! She took him on a walk, gave him dinner, and let him play with Merida. I was really happy with the experience and I will definitely choose Giovanna again next time I need someone to look after Java.”
About: I grew up around cats, dogs and hamsters. We have had 2 boxers previously, one of which I have cared for through his late senior years, so I know what extra special care senior animals may need. I am comfortable diaper-changing, walking a their pace and administering medications. I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for various pets throughout my life — mostly cats and dogs. My son currently has a Leopard Gecko, so I have some insight into caged reptiles too, but am willing to learn more and care for them too, if needed. I am a Stay-at-Home-Mom with an open schedule. I can easily fit in dog walks, or house-visits to care for a pet. (I have a 1.5 year old daughter who will mostly like need to come with me on these visits.) You can trust me to walk your pet or come pop-in for a visit to feed and care for them. I love all animals and am happy to help them feel loved and less alone while you're gone.
“Tracy really helped us out by accommodating our dog who was still healing from surgery. My husband also had long hours for work while the rest of the family was away. We are very happy to have found you. Thanks for taking such great care of our dogs!”
“Cynthia was very quick to respond to my inquires and questions prior to booking. We received several photos and text updates while our girls were in her care. All was good.”

I loved all of the pictures we received; seeing Maya that happy made our week. Robin genuinely cares for the animals she works with.”
About: Honestly, I'm just a huge animal lover. I've got a goofy Lab-Pittie mix who's my best buddy, and I still miss my two sweet Norwegian Lundehunds like crazy. I'd absolutely love to spend time with your dog, whether it's a long hike, a park visit, or just some good cuddle time. Since I'm home all the time, I'm super flexible.

About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk

About: We have been around animals all our life since living on a small family dairy farm including 4-H as a kid. We can care for all types of animals. We can administrator shots and pills. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. My husband is retired and loves animals as well. So your fur baby will get 2 for 1 as he also loves to care for animals too. Pets are less stressed and relax more when in their own home. While you are away you know your pets are being well cared for in their own environment.
About: I've taken care of of family pets since at least 8 years old, I've trained puppies. Ive always loved animals and I've had Dogs, Cats, and Reptiles. I've never missed a feeding time for any of our pets. I make sure to feed our dogs in the morning and the night, or whatever schedule has been asked. But I have plenty of free time for playing with my animals. Well I love to walk so dogs always get enough exercise, and I make sure to groom my dogs monthly, and I make sure to feed all of my pets well enough.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have personally owned my own dogs for almost 20 years. I genuinely love spending time with them and enjoy enhancing their experience of the world through positive reinforcement training, sniffy walks, and other enrichment activities! I can do puppy care, senior care, or anything in between. Happy to work with reactive dogs as long as they are not human aggressive or a risk to redirect reactions onto nearby humans. I am freelancing, so my schedule is built around my bookings rather than the other way around. My only blocked out time is for taking my own dog to nosework classes! Leave detailed instructions, and I will follow them to the letter. My goal is to provide care as close to your “normal” that your animals receive when you’re home with them.

About: Hi pet parents + fur babies! I have 11+ years of experience working with animals personally and professionally, and almost 7 years of experience with dogs that have behavior or medical challenges. In the past 2 years I have worked closely with many reactive, fearful, shy, rowdy, and stranger-danger dogs. I use positive reinforcement and Fear Free models in any training that I do while with a dog or cat. I have extensive experience with puppies and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats. I have personal experience working with animals with medical issues such as seizures, pain, difficulty walking, and blindness/hearing loss. I feel very comfortable with working with your baby no matter the behavior or medical challenge (and can wrap their medication in however many hot dogs or cheese slices it takes!) If you’ve had trouble lately finding a pet sitter that can handle a rowdy, shy, jumpy, fearful, or medical case pet, I might just be the gal you’re looking for. Send me a message and let’s get to know each other! I am flexible and can work out dates, time and length of stay once we meet and see what works best for you and your baby. Safety is my top priority. (Although snuggles are a close second!) Jokes aside-throughout drop ins or walks, I can make sure your fur baby is in a safe environment while feeding, walking, or providing enrichment.
About: I used to have a dog and absolutely loved having that companionship. At this stage of my life, I don’t quite have the time to have a dog of my own as I’m preparing to apply to PA school. In the meantime, I’d love to spend my free time walking, playing with, and giving lots of love to your little companions as if they were my own! 🐾 I am willing to go to your house to provide care - let the dog go potty or take him on walks. I am willing to drive to where you are! I guess the care depends on how the animals received care and what the owners are expecting. I am willing to provide the proper care needed that meets your expectations!

“I met Michael and he's great. Very nice, responsive, helpful and flexible. I was super grateful to Michael for taking Moose last minute when plans fell through with another sitter. Got daily updates and picture of Moose having the BEST time ever. Moose enjoyed a huge property with a creek, other sweet dog friends to play with and AC which we don't have at home, what a luxury! Would absolutely recommend.”
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Lisa. We are so happy to have found a great companion for our sweet boy, who loves him just as her own. Lisa always goes above and beyond to make sure her special furry boarders are well taken care of, loved, and engaged during their stay. Thank you again Lisa for the wonderful care you gave to Odin.”

“Julie Ann was terrific. My two boys came home better trained than when they arrived at her place! Aside from taking good care of our dogs overnight, she shared with me some tips on how to have them walk better on leashes. She was able to accomplish in 5 minutes what I have been working on for 4 years! We will be booking again with her for a longer stay later this summer.”
“Dean and Dawn were wonderful with Charlie! They accommodated us at the last minute, sent us pictures, and seemed to genuinely enjoy having her. Charlie had so much fun playing Frisbee, had plenty of open space to run and play, and slept comfortably at their home. We really appreciated knowing she was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Rebecca is everything you could ever want for your god in a sitter. Responsive, communicative, kind, caring, and trustworthy. You can tell how much she loves animals with the many updates and pictures to know they are being loved and cared for. I cannot recommend Rebecca enough to trust with your pet if you are in need of a sitter. Thank you for loving my pup as much as I do!”
“Cynthia is great to work with and great with our dogs. The dogs love staying with her, she was great with all their food and medications, too. She also sends photos of the dogs during the stays, so that's an extra added bonus!”
“Margaret was very easy to work with and provided great communication and pictures while we were out. It was very clear that Luna was well taken care of! From the updates, it honestly looked like Luna was at summer camp, always playing with other dogs, happy, and having the best time. We couldn’t be happier leaving her with Margaret and will definitely book again!”
“Amanda and Eric were wonderful sitters and caregivers to our lil pup! We had the chance to do a meet and greet, where our doggo met the family and gathered up all the sniffs (😂) . They communicated great, shared over frequent phone photos and took amazing care of our pup. 100% will be booking again!”
“Louie had a wonderful time at Janin’s doggie oasis while we were out of town for a long weekend. She is super great at communicating and sending updates. We know that Louie is loved and cared for when he is with her.”
“Somer and Thomas were so great. They helped us out of a jam by accepting a very last-minute boarding reservation for our senior Great Pyrenees. Rosalie stayed 3 nights and was very well taken care of. When we picked her up she was calm, happy, and tired. Somer seems very knowledgeable about dog care and behavior and she even picked up on a medical issue Rosalie has and kept her cool and comfortable through a hot few days. We very much appreciate it and would absolutely recommend Somer and Thomas for boarding.”
“Chris was great with our 5 year old pup Jax. He sent pictures every day which was very reassuring. It was our first time using Rover and he made the whole process very easy. We are definitely going to give him a call next time we need a place for Jax. Thanks Chris!”
“Peaches absolutely loved her time with Kelsey and her family! Kelsey was a fantastic communicator and kept me updated with pictures and videos of Peaches’ adventures with her girls. Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home!”
“Giovanna is amazing!! She is professional and has lots of experience and knowledge of taking care of dogs. She has a great daily schedule for each dog, and I really appreciate that. We received a lot of pictures and photos during our pup’s stay with her. Giovanna is also very responsive. Our puppy came back happy, well-behaved, and tired. ❤️❤️”
“Xiaotong is an amazing host! My dog really had a vacation, Xiaotong spoiled her with healthy treats, lots of play time, walks and kept us so informed by sending updates, videos and photos. She is very caring, dependable and I feel lucky to have found her. Thank you Xiaotong for being a great host!”
“Taylor is a friendly and trustworthy dog sitter. His calm demeanor made our slightly nervous dog feel comfortable and safe. He has a large yard, and sent us video of her playing throughout her stay. He responds to texts and emails right away. I would highly recommend Taylor for your animal sitting needs. Our dog came home excersized, relaxed and happy.”
“Kyle and his whole family gave Millie and Mabel such a warm welcome! They have a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and Kyle sent us lots of updates and photos throughout their stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Kyle & Marissa again!”
