Shanie loved our Pepper and took wonderful care of her for us. She sent pictures of our puppet having a great time playing with other dogs. I will always ask Shanie to take care of our sweet girl.

Nancy was amazing and very accommodating. We took Axel for a meet and greet and when we went back for his overnight stay he was clearly excited to be there and ran right up to her without looking back at us when we left. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog to stay. We will definitely be using Nancy again in the future. It was a big relief knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away.

Recently our puppy stayed with Jordan while we were away for a week. During that time daily updates were given with photos. It was apparent that she really cares for all pets. Great interaction, great communication. Highly recommend.

Meredith was just amazing. She handled my crazy dog along with her family and dogs like a champ. My pup seemed to greatly enjoy herself. Along with a happy pup, my dog came home with a few more manners. We will use her in the future for sure. 😊

Sonya and her family are very sweet, and their 2 dogs are well trained and friendly. Our Sadie fit right into the pack. She was happy when we dropped her off, and happy when we picked her up. I've already booked her next stay! I highly recommend Sonya!

My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!

Monica was absolutely wonderful! She took care of Gracie for several weeks and made the whole process stress-free. Her communication was excellent, keeping us updated and reassured the entire time. Gracie was clearly well cared for, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care.

Mary & Marty we cannot thank you enough for taking care of Luna during the week that I was traveling. Your attentiveness, kindness, and open communication was truly appreciated. We don't typically leave Luna with anyone but it so wonderful to know that you both are pet lovers and treated her just like your own. Thanks again for all of the photos while I was away. It truly put me at ease knowing that Luna was in your care! You guys are the best!

Cassidy was a WONDERFUL pet sitter for our girl. She was so thorough in her commutation. She sent lots of pictures and videos. Cassidy’s home has a great set up and my pup seemed very comfortable there. Our dog had lots of outdoor play and exercise. We would love to hire Cassidy again in the future.

From the start Bernice communicated effectively. She took on a last minute week long boarding. She called me which I appreciated and met up with me for a meet and greet. She flooded my phone with pictures of Ruby daily. Her backyard is like a dog park. There were several other little fur babies that Ruby loved playing with. Many thanks Bernice!

Kim did an amazing job! Not only did she take care of our pets (HeShe & Mocha), she also took care of our home and flowers. She was excellent about sending pics and videos and was always available. It's always hard to leave your pets behind, but with Kim, you will have peace of mind that your pets are well taken care of. She's amazing!!
