Took amazing pictures and care of Mercury. Even gave him a pedicure for which I am really grateful. Had fun with the kids and other dogs, so he essentially had a really great play date for a couple of days. Blessings 🙌

Great Experience! While watching my puppy over the weekend they provided consistent updates the entire time. I really appreciated the regular photos and messages that gave a peace of mind knowing my puppy was doing well while I was away. My puppy also got a ton of playtime and attention!

Emily and her husband did a great job. We take our lab with us almost all the time so it wasn't easy to leave her somewhere for multiple days. Emily was great with accommodating a pre-stay meeting, always really good with communication and coordination, kept us regularly updated and assured that Parker was comfortable, happy, getting plenty of attention and activity, etc.. She was flexible with our pick up and always positive. We would definitely recommend and would definitely have Parker stay again.

This was my pup Luna’s first time being boarded and Nancy went above and beyond all my expectations of what I thought pet boarding can be. She was able to accommodate Lunas specific needs, and put my mind at ease by keeping me present throughout her stay with pictures and updates on how Luna was adjusting without me. Nancy’s patience, care and love she provided to Luna was very evident when I picked her up. I would trust Nancy to take care of Luna again in a heartbeat. If you’re ever considering boarding your baby, I couldn’t recommend Nancy enough! 10/10

It had been a couple years since Gus stayed with Jeremy and Katie, and I’m so glad they are still boarding! Gus always has a great stay with them, and they do an awesome job with communication and photo updates!

Alexis did a great job watching my dog Elroy for 3.5 days while we were away. She sent us updates and photos and let us know how he was getting along with the other dogs she was watching. I felt very comfortable leaving my baby with her and he came back tired and happy. I’ll definitely be returning next time I need someone.

Thank you Autumn for the excellent care you gave Charlie. Charlie had a fantastic time there. He came home very happy. I truly appreciated all of the communication we had with Autumn. We will definitely use Autumn in the future. If anyone is wondering, I am highly recommending Autumn. She gave individual attention to our dog Charlie. Charlie enjoyed playing with her son. Having him in Autumn's home was so much better than even the best kennel we have used elsewhere. I'm glad we found her.

Erin took great care of our sweet dog, Lily. She was easy to communicate with, replied quickly, and sent pictures to let us know how much fun Lily was having playing in the river with Erin. I will be using her again, soon, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Amy kept Moose for his first time being away from us and he was very well cared for. He was nervous when I dropped him off but he was so happy and comfortable with Amy when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again next time!

Kristin and her son were amazing with Jesse. He did so well with them and had so much fun in their huge yard with other dogs to play with. She gave updates on how he was doing with cute and funny pictures. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her dogsit Jesse for me again.

I have left my little pup with Jose and Maria several times over the last year or so. They really treat her as part of their family and she gets so excited when we pull up to their house. Their daily pictures and videos are so reassuring that all is well. I highly recommend them!!

Thank you for being such good care takers! Ann and Jaren always do such a fantastic job at keeping me updated with lots of photos of Lottie while I am out of town. Can’t explain how much that means when away from home. Thank you for taking such good care of her, always! -Anna

I would recommend Maria to care for your best friends and will definitely be back! Joey can be a handful and Maria made me feel that he was so welcome! Thank you!!

Kaitlyn is an awesome sitter. Max and Cooper loved their overnight stay. Lots of love given. There was plenty of playtime. The backyard was a paradise playground any fur baby would want to to be able to play in. We give it 10 stars.
