1. Paula C.

“Paula took care of Kenny for six days. She did a wonderful job! He is recovering from CCL surgery and she was very attentive to his safety and comfort. He has some separation anxiety but was very comfortable staying with her. I would definitely use Paula again.”


2. Jesse & Emily H.

“They were excellent in taking care of my dog. They took her on walks and sent photos throughout the day so I could see how she was doing. They are reliable sitters and I look to utilize their services again.”


3. Penny H.

“Penny was absolutely amazing. She met us at a medical apt. and took Berkeley for a walk and short visit at her home before meeting us back following g the appointment. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you”


4. Hillary D.

“Hillary was fantastic! Whaley stayed with her for 10 days and we received continuous communication and pictures. He was even hesitant to leave her house when we went to pick him up because he was so happy there.”


5. Svitlana F.

“Svitlana was great with our Border Terrier, Kimi. She sent updates and photos daily. She walked Kimi in the neighborhood and played ball with her in the yard. Kimi came home happy, so we will hire Svitlana again!”


6. Nana A.

“I would definitely recommend this boarder to anyone who wants the Best Care for their Furry Family Member! He is respectful, shared photos, and his communication is right on point!”


7. Cynthia W.

“This is our second time booking with Cynthia. Good communication and updates with pictures and photos, but more importantly you can tell she really cares. Harley has come out happy each time and we will definitely keep using Cynthia in the future.”


8. Milan G.

“I cannot recommend Milan highly enough! From the very beginning, her communication was prompt and professional. She always responded quickly and made scheduling a breeze. What really stood out, though, was her incredible attention to detail and the level of care she showed for my puppy. She was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced, taking the time to understand my pup’s personality and routine. Most importantly, she made my dog feel completely comfortable and at ease, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but Milan exceeded every expectation. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


9. Aly B.

“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”


10. Jani & Paul R.

“Jani and Paul are fantastic. Wonderful, caring people who go way above the norm to take care of our (and all) dog. Herschey loved staying with them.”




11. Julia T.

“As usual, our dogs were happily tired when we picked them up from Julia's. Staying with Julia is a like sleep-away camp for them. And, as usual, coordinating and communicating with Julia was easy and pleasurable. I especially appreciated that she met me at Forest Lakes to save me some time dropping the dogs off with her. ”


12. Katina M.


“Katina is amazing. Our dog is always super happy to go and is in great spirits when we pick her up. You can’t go wrong trusting your dogs with Katina! She’s the best!”


13. Julie N.

“Julie and her family took wonderful care of Willa! She got to go on plenty of walks and enjoyed lots of snuggles. Julie sent pictures and was easy to communicate with. Willa came home happy and we will definitely book with her again!”


14. Allison M.

“Good communication, kind and receptive to our young pup!”




15. Mary R.

“Mary and her family are AWESOME! My dog Blue is a very small papillon and can be a little shy at first. Mary and her family did such a wonderful job making Blue feel right at home. She sent tons of super cute photos and updates and her son even brushed little Blue! I know my pup was living it up at her home and I felt so comfortable leaving her there. When I picked Blue up I could tell she really acclimated to being there! Mary’s family has two sweet doggies as well so Blue got some extra doggy socialization while she was there too. I’d recommend Mary and fam in a heartbeat and hope that Blue will be able to stay there again. 10/10 absolutely would recommend!”


16. Rebecca Z.

“Rebecca did an amazing job with our dog. She kept well updated and I can tell Zurie had a great time during her stay. I would highly recommend Rebecca as a dog sitter!”


17. Brooke L.

“Brooke truly took care of my dog Peter and he was happy and calm when picked. He liked to stay with Brooke and had good time playing in dog park. We felt Peter is in best hands and Brooke made us comfortable, she is very responsive and took good care of our dog. I highly recommend Brooke and would surely visit again.”


18. Rebecca P.

“Rebecca has a wonderful space and very lovely playful pups! We had a great meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit and booked when we all felt it was! She provided good updates and was flexible with us and our pup. She is an experienced doggy caretaker and our dog had a great time and came back to us happy and tired from all the playtime and walking. Couldn't recommend her enough!”


19. Emil F.

“Emil was so sweet with my little pup and he came back super happy! He was very thorough with making sure he did everything he needed and let him sniff around all the time. A great place to send my little guy.”


20. Clayton D.

“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”
