1. Alara P.
“Very thoughtful sitter and sends updates if requested throughout stay. Had other dogs around as well and let's them all play together, but does have a bunch of baby gates to separate the dogs if needed, so each dog could have it's own little section of the house if there are issues with the other dogs. My dog seemed quite happy when we came to pick her up the next day.”
2. Ellen M.
“I recently boarded my babe with Ellen & her son John, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They were incredibly friendly and were even fine w/ a Meet & Greet prior to Zoë’s stay. The facility seemed clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space for playtime and socializing. I appreciated the regular updates and photos they sent me, which reassured me that my dog was having a great time. I highly recommend John and Ellen for anyone looking for quality care for their fur baby!”
3. Kimberly G.
“My Bella and I absolutely love Kimberly. It is so comforting that when we get to Kimberly's, Bella runs over and goes right into her home. Kimberly sends me pictures and compliments about my Bella....it makes my heart smile. THANK YOU to Kimberly for making me feel like my Bella's at her home away from home.”
4. Pamela C.
“Pamela, was absolutely amazing with bear. She was great with communicating and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the day with pictures, texts, and videos. He was very comfortable with her and her husband. They spoiled him and showered him with a lot of love and one on one attention. He was such a happy boy when leaving as well. He seemed to have such a good time and will definitely be going back to visit again! Thank you very much Pamela! I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”
5. Sam M.
“Always a great experience with Sam! This boarding was for almost a full week and Sam sent daily pictures and made certain I knew how well Buddy was taken care of. She is the best.”
6. Luca P.
“Luca was a great sitter for both our dogs! He sent us daily pictures and updates and treated our pups like they were his own with long walks and stimulating play time. He was even kind enough to drive them to a dog park outside of town to help tire them out and change up the scenery. We will absolutely use him again when we need to leave town in the future.”
7. Kayla S.
“Kayla took great care of our dogs. She provided them with walks, cuddles, and playtime. I loved getting daily pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again!”
8. Heather W.
“Heather was super responsive when asking about sitting my pups at the very last minute, and we are super appreciative! She sent pictures of my pups everyday, and checked in with us daily to let us know how they were doing. I could tell they both had a great time, and we would use Heather again!”
9. Jeffery B.
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Jeffery and her stay was as great as the first. Our dog was super excited to see Jeffery when we dropped her off and was tired out and content when we picked her up. Per usual, Jeffery was also excellent about giving us updates with photos, which we appreciate.”
10. Kathy & Tim L.
“Holy cow! Thanks Tim and Kathy! They took such great care of our 2 dogs for 2 weeks. So flexible on meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. Our high energy boxer is wore out, super unusual. And our high maintenance older pointer mix is just as peaceful as ever, his respiratory issue was taken care of well and that's a lot to keep up with. I can't say enough how much my wife and I appreciate the care they gave them. The fenced in yard with a good wood pile, walks, and pictures gave us peace of mind the whole time. We will book again with them anytime we need to and they're available.”
11. Margaret T.
“The most compassionate dog person you will ever meet! She treats all dogs in her care like family. I highly recommend her and your dogs will love her!”
12. Amy B.
“Amy was fantastic!! My dog Kevin had the time of his life for the past week with her and has been passed out since getting home! Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
13. Hailee H.
“Hailee has been watching my 2 cats for many years now and I couldn't be happier! One of them has a lot of special medical needs and Hailee is able to take excellent care of her and meet all her needs. They are always so happy to see her, and I am too knowing that they're in great hands while I'm away.”
14. Mary R.
“We knew that Hunter was in good hands from the moment we met Mary. He was completely relaxed with her and we received daily updates with pictures of his stay.”
15. Dianna & Matthew B.
“Dianna has been absolutely fantastic with my girls, Ellie and Dakota. This is their first experience with boarding, and I was nervous doing so. Dianna eased all of my nerves with a meet and greet. The pictures and commentary that I've received just proves that Dianna is a perfect fit for Ellie and Dakota. Whenever we have to leave our girls again, I will be sure to book with Dianna. Thank you for everything!?❤️”
16. Sara G.
“Amazing Rover. Took such sweet care of our animals. Would highly recommend to anyone! You can tell how much Sara loves animals, we are forever grateful!”
17. Julia R.
“Eva has a great time with Julia and her family. She sent plenty of pics and updates and was very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again”
18. Ella C.
“Ella has been caring for our pets for several years now, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She’s amazing with animals of all kinds, always going above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-cared for. Whether it's our energetic dog or more timid cat, Ella knows just how to handle each of their unique personalities. It’s clear she has a natural connection with animals, and we trust her completely with our fur babies. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive, Ella is the perfect choice!”
19. Kathleen & Brian P.
“When we dropped off Chiko we instantly knew he was in good hands. Brian and Kathleen are kind, professional and warm. Thank you for taking good care of our Chiko, we would choose you both again, no doubt.”
20. Crystal A.
“I needed to find a place for my dog quickly due to an out of town family emergency. Crystal responded to my search very quickly and was available that day to do a meet and great. She was so flexible with drop off and pick up. Even pictures to see him relaxing in her family's Home! So thankful to have found her. Will be using her services again.”
