“My heart is so thankful to Claire and Jim for going above the call of duty taking great care of my Zen! They made the very first time that I left Zen overnight a peaceful experience! We will book with them again❤️”




2. Mark & Elizabeth Y.

“Mark and Betty are the sweetest people you will ever know! Our Riley spent three nights with them and fit right in along with their fur baby Finley! We will definitely bring Riley back if ever in need again!”




3. Mark and Vicky H.


“Cody is a pretty needy older dog. Mark and Vicky went over and above to accommodate him. I appreciate all they did for him and felt he was in very good hands. They kept me updated often (and included pictures). Thanks to them both.”


4. Kaylee J.

“Kaylee was great with our dog! Even when he had a seizure while staying with her, she didn’t get ruffled- and took care of him like a champ (he has a seizure disorder)! We definitely, highly recommend her! Thank you Kaylee!!!”


5. Mary N.

“Our Lana had a blast making new friends in Bruno and Mary. Mary was attentive with constant updates, pictures and communications, leaving us to relax into our time away. We will be calling Mary and Bruno again soon!”


6. Tom G.


“This was our first time using dog vacay and it was fantastic! We were looking last minute and Tom was very flexible and sent us updates over the stay. Highly recommended! Thanks again!”


7. Sharon K.

“Sharon was amazing with my pet. She was very responsive and friendly. My dog felt comfortable with her and I received updates regularly. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”




8. Emily Ann C.

“When I first met Emily, I was confident that she was a good fit for Gabby. After Gabby had stayed there, I’m sure that she was perfect for her. She played with Gabby and introduced Gabby to her dog Pepper, and they slept together in the bed. She took great care of her and Gabby seem to love her.”


9. Sam M.

“Sam was great and took good care of my dog with love and care. Because of her background in veterinary, she was able to diagnose my dog was liking himself and after talking to me she gave him the proper medication and put a collar on him. When I went to pick him up he was very happy and healthy… which makes me really happy. I also like the fact that Zeca was the only dog with her because he is not very friendly with other dogs around. Sam, thank you so much!!”


10. Sarah P.


“Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!”


11. Kaishin K.

“I would recommend Kaishin! She is the best. She was flexible with my dates and did some last minute work around which was so nice of her. She took AMAZING care of my dog - he came back relaxed and happy. As an anxious dog, I was nervous to leave him for 8 days with someone he’s never met but she took him in like he was a part of the family. I received daily updates and videos/pics and she even gave him a special Christmas cookie. She was very communicative and I had no worries that he was in good hands. I will definitely be rebooking anytime I need pet care.”


12. Danielle V.

“Danielle is super friendly and relaxed about everything. Our two small dogs were there for two nights and seemed in great shape when we retrieved them. Her house is clean and there is a nice sun porch and big fenced in backyard. Her kids seemed to have enjoyed the dogs. I’m not really sure what all they did so I can’t comment about that. Thank you Danielle. I felt comfortable leaving them with you and would do again.”


13. kirsty v.

“Kirsty did an excellent job taking care of my dog Ozzy. She is professional, responsible, flexible, and just a really nice person. She provided updates with pictures that let me know Ozzy was having fun and being well taken care of. I will definitely use her again and again!”


14. Marie H.


“Marie was so great with our puppy while we were out of town! She sent updates throughout and was really engaged in his care. She kept him on his schedule and kept him active as well. Rocky loves Marie and her own pups as well. We are so happy to have found Marie and will be booking again. Thank you!”


15. Nathan & Jenna R.

“Hard to miss how much Nathan and Jenna love dogs. And how could dogs not love them in return? They have the most amazing set up for a play area for the many dogs they welcome to their back yard. They kept me updated with photos and videos of our Petey as he enjoyed romping with other pups in the back yard and found just the right spot on Jenna's lap to cozy up. Thank you Nathan and Jenna for allowing Petey to join the fun at your home.”


16. Carrie Haring K.

“Cashew really enjoyed his stay with Carrie. They took very good care of him and kept us updated throughout the week. Overall we are very happy with how well he was taken care of, we will definitely use Carrie in the future and highly recommend her.”


17. Kate W.

“Kate is wonderful, she took excellent care of our girl. Luna was very happy when we picked her up. She even ran back to give Kate some love before we left.”


18. Jan H.

“We had never boarded our 5 year old Pomeranian, Oreo and were nervous. Jan took great care of him and treated him as if he were hers. We got lots of updates and pictures while we were gone. We would definitely use Jan again!”


19. Pat S.

“Pat watched my girls overnight and they had a great time! My dogs settled in quickly and got along with her dogs. Pat followed my semi difficult instructions well and overall my dogs were happy!”




20. Kelly A.

“I am thankful to Kelly and family for taking such good care of our dog. I think Edith had a great time with them. I so appreciated the pictures and could tell Edith was happy and contented. I think she misses her new friends! I wish I could have picked her up myself, but with crazy airline schedules, I would have been late, so my daughter who loves Edith as much as we do, came to get her and thought you were such good people. Thanks again.”
