Ciara and her family were amazing! They treated our fur babies like her own and her littles just loved our girls. We felt very at ease dropping them off and picking them up and were very thankful for all the sweet pictures throughout their stay. Thank you Ciara!

Jay has watched my 2 dogs several times now and I don’t think I’ll ever use anyone else! She has been an incredible help and keeps me at ease knowing my dogs are well taken care of when she has them. I couldn’t be more pleased!

Great experience! This was our first time being without our 6 month old puppy, and we were nervous of who to trust. Amanda & Scott sent daily pictures and updates of our girl for our 5 day trip, and made us feel comfortable leaving her with them. We will definitely be using them again when we need to go out of town in the future!

Teona and Louelyn are the best!! Our dog is blind and needs extra care. They made sure he became familiar with his surroundings and knew where his bowls were located. I especially loved the photos and videos that were sent during the day showing how happy he was. We had full confidence in their caregiving. Would definitely recommend!

Finally, we know Sushi is in good hands with Victoria when we travel! He falls right on line with the pack. She sends great updates and pictures, is in constant communication with you if necessary, and offers lots of flexibility around drop offs and pick up times. This was Sushi’s second 8+ day stay. There will be more. Top notch!

We had a last minute trip and Max and Stephanie were wonderful in being able to care for our dogs on short notice. We love the pictures they send. We always know our dogs are well cared for and have so much fun when they stay. We trust them with our dogs to treat them as if they were their own.

Lyra and Scott were great with Millie! I booked this stay kind of late as I made last minute travel plans, and they were very accommodating to my flight schedule! They sent updates daily and included photos. I could tell Millie was having fun with their family. I know Millie will be very happy to go back there!

I could not be more pleased with our boarding experience with Ryan & Stephanie! Bogey & Moose enjoyed staying in their home and getting lots of love and attention from their family. They sent 'pupdates' and pictures that allowed me to relax and not worry about them while we were away. My boys came home happy and exhausted from all the playtime they had on their large property. Ryan & Stephanie will be our first choice for boarding or daycare in the future!

Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.

Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her

Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!

Susan is not only a wonderful sitter, she loves pets like as if they were her own! Susan has been sitting my 2 long haired cats since March when I had an unexpected death in the family. I could not find anyone to sit for my 2 cats with such short notice, I was in a pinch. Susan came to my rescue and responded quickly! I'm till this day very grateful to her! When I came back from my trip and picked my cats up from her, I had a hard time getting them back in their carrier! They didn't want to leave! I was so happy that my cats felt comfortable with Susan. I didn't mind them not wanting to leave and giving me a run around her house for half an hour trying to get them in their carrier. Susan is loving, caring and very knowledgeable about cats and she has given me pointers on challenges I have had with my cats, so she is not just a person that watches your pets. I'm very happy I found Susan, she is wonderful and my cats love her! I highly recommend her services!

I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.
