“Marina and her family are true animal lovers. They treat every pet with kindness, care, and respect. Marina has a natural connection with animals and always makes sure they feel safe and loved.

You can fully trust her to provide not only safe and loving care but also excellent communication and a warm, welcoming environment for any pet.”

“JoAnne took excellent care of my two doggos. They get very stressed out when we have to leave them, but the pictures JoAnne sent showed them having a great time, happy and well taken care of! She definitely treated them like her own (her dog Hunny is super sweet and got along fantastically with mine - even the one who is usually afraid of other dogs). We were so happy we re-booked right away :)”

11. Stella G.
“Stella and her husband Jim are fantastic! They watched our 2 VERY active Golden Retrievers for 9 days. She sent me daily pictures of them playing. They always seemed to be having a blast. I know my boys can be a handful but they never seemed bothered by their energy. Stella replied too all my txts and emails right away. You can tell they love dogs! I would give them 6 stars if I could. It was nice to go away and know that Tanner and Charlie were in good hands. I would take them back there in a heartbeat.”
12. Liz & Kristopher G.
“You will NOT find better care for your fur babies! Liz and her husband took EXCELLENT care of my one year old, high Energy, diabetic pup! My pup is HIGH maintenance… they fed Cocoa like she was at a restaurant, gave her insulin shots 2x a day, let her play all day with their dogs, walks, Cocoa slept on their bed and couch. I think my dog misses them already! I got tons of photos (even a photo shoot with Santa) and tons of updates and videos. I can’t give a better review. Liz is like hitting the jackpot. See you next time ❤️ and THANK YOU.”
13. Elisa L.
“Elisa was the BEST dog sitter for my pup, Penny. I was caught in a bind and needed a sitter for my 6 month old puppy at the last minute. Elisa took such good care of her, and kept me up to date on how she was doing throughout her stay. She felt so comfortable knowing Penny was in good hands and felt safe with Elisa. I will definitely reach out to Elisa the next time I need a sitter! I can't thank her enough!”

Bubbles came home happy and tired, I can tell he had a great time playing with their dogs.”
