“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”


“John and his wife Kathy go over and above to create a comfortable environment for our dogs. They boarded them for two weeks and we got regular reports. We never had to worry about our two dogs, other than to worry if they’d ever want to leave John and Kathy’s! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”


“Chisato was amazing and took such great care of our Lucey! She sent so many photos and videos and we could tell how comfortable Lucey felt and how much fun she was having! We will definitely have Chisato care for Lucey again!”


“Amy is wonderful. We requested extra photos since it was a longer stay and she really went above and beyond. Bambi was clearly relaxed throughout her entire stay and not at all stressed when we picked her up.”



“Michelle was wonderful with our Cavapoo Cooper! We’ve boarded with Michele multiple times, and Cooper is always so happy to see her. She communicates well and sends lots of pictures of Cooper. Safety is a priority and Cooper is well taken care of. Definitely recommend Michelle for dog boarding!”


“Boris was wonderful with our Brownie. He sent cheerful videos and pictures throughout her stay. He was easy to communicate with and quickly responsive. We would certainly use Boris again if needed and recommend him to anyone.”


“Michelle took great care of our dog. She is very organized, thorough and responsive. She has a lovely home and a very big and gentle dog who will make a great friend to any dog guest. She definitely spoiled our dog! Highly recommended.”


“Yamile was very nice and took good care of Leo. She was always quick to respond to our messages. She was also very accommodating when we had some last minute changes. Only thing I would say was missing was she did not send us any updates until we asked. She did not send any pictures too.”


“Leigh and Rich were incredible to my boy, Archie! I could tell from all the photos, updates, and when I picked him up, that he was well taken care of and loved while he was at their house! I felt super comfortable leaving him in their hands and I am so grateful to them for taking such great care of him, especially with all his quirks! I look forward to using Leigh and Rich again in the future! Thank you so much!”


“Kenzie had an amazing time, she came home happy and I could tell she missed playing with her new friends. Loved having her stay with Marta in an environment similar to home with the added benefit of doggie friends!”


“Yuliia was SO amazing with my reactive pup Gi and helped us accommodate with 24 hours notice. She sent lots of updates & kept us at ease about our sweet girl while we were away for the weekend. 🩷 Will absolutely be booking again!”


“Christene was so great with Lucy! She sent updates with pictures and showed how great of a time Lucy was having with her dog Luna. Lucy came home so happy! Would have Christene watch Lucy any time!”


“Sherry was the best! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay. She made sure Bella felt as comfortable as possible and even went out of her way a few times to make sure that happened. A tip was well deserved! I would highly recommend Sherry as a sitter for your pup! I will be requesting her again that’s for sure! Just hope she’s not booked up when I do. Thank you again Sherry!”


“Kate was awesome and communicated really well! Our Remy came back and seemed like he had a blast with Kate and her two boys! She sent pictures and updates the whole time. I would definitely recommend and use her again!”


“I found Benita on Rover and this my first time having her stay with my two dogs while I was away for a week. Boy was I glad I found her! It's always a bit nerve wrecking parting ways with your dogs for a week and finding someone to care for them like you do, but I know my dogs were comfortable being with Benita and her family all week long. One of my dogs tends to be a bit of a loner but was very social during her stay. Daily walks and photo updates came every day. I would not hesitate to recommend Benita to watch you best friend(s), too. They will be in very good hands.”
