1. John K.

“John was awesome - he was flexible to take our 2 dogs very last minute for 2 weeks. I got daily updates and pictures from him and it was easy to see he loves animals and really cared for our doggos. So many pictures of them getting snuggles and playing. Highly recommended! Thank you John for the clear communication and care.”


2. Royal & Rhonda P.

“I left my dog, Bonnie with Royal and Rhonda, and they were amazing! It was my first time leaving Bonnie in someone else’s care and they made it so easy and stress-free and were incredibly friendly. They really know their stuff and have a great setup for dogs. Bonnie had a blast and I loved the frequent updates. Highly recommend!”


3. Alexandra O.

“Alex is fantastic! She’s watched our pups twice now- including when we traveled cross country- and we always know they are in good hands. She sends us updates, is great with communication, and clearly cares deeply for animals. We can’t recommend her enough”

8. Matt M.
