My dog loves going over Matt’s house. His ears perk up and he leaps out of my car with such excitement and that’s important to me. I travel for work and leaving my dog with someone kind is so important to me. You are here looking for a sitter - I say, look no further. He will love your dog and treat your pet as his own.

Raye was so amazing! She sent so many pics and videos, and she did such an awesome job with my older girl and her medicines. Both of my pups had such a great time, and we’ll definitely book with Raye again :)

Lila was great with Max! She gave us updates throughout the weekend which we really appreciated! Our dog is a little anxious and slow to warm up sometimes and she took extra care to make sure he felt right at home.

Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!

Christina is the best sitter our boys have ever had. I cannot say enough about how happy and content my dogs were upon return. Even my shy pup that rarely warms up to strangers became fast friends with her. She’s communicative, responsible and I’m thrilled as I travel extensively for work and happy to finally find a sitter I trust that is wonderful and I trust with the care of my dogs.

Dante & Quincy were so amazing I was worried Oreo wouldn’t want to come back home. There was constant communication and updates about our pet. They checked in with us to try to keep Oreo’s routine as similar to home as possible. They did great with managing his socialization with other dogs. I would absolutely love to use their services again!

Cyndi did an amazing job caring for my pup Leia! She was super flexible and supportive while I was taking some big exams for school. Leia was sad to leave and I loved all the photos I saw! I felt more than confident in Cyndi’s care for Leia and I will 100% ask her to sit for me in the future.

Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my 5 year old Samoyed for a long weekend! Drop off and pick up were easy. I received photos through out his stay. Her dog Tank is a big sweetheart. My pup returned home happy and well cared for in my absence. Highly recommend her boarding services, and I would definitely use her again in the future!

Hilary took care of my dog, Penny, for 10 days. She did an awesome job! I got photo updates every couple days. Penny went on a hike and took a couple trips to the dog park. Hilary was very receptive to any needs Penny had and was very fast to answer questions. I would definitely use her again!
