Kathy was terrific with our pit bull. He's super friendly with people, but sometimes needs a minute to warm up to dogs. Kathy did a wonderful job letting him get adjusted to her animals. He made great friends, got tons of playtime, and lots of love! She also sent us daily texts with pics and videos. Would absolutely board with Kathy again.

Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!

Nontombe is an absolute GEM 💎! On short notice she was able to take our baby boy Biscuit Latrell for a 4 day stay. This was his first time away from home since we got him and to say we were nervous would be an understatement. Nontombe provided pictures, videos, tips and all throughout Biscuit’s stay. She really put or minds at ease and Biscuit had an amazing time. We will definitely be back! Outstanding service literally 10s across the board! Thank you!

Kristin was wonderful with our 2 girls from the start. She was very responsive and thorough with our inquiries, and came to our house to meet us and our girls prior to our trip, which meant a lot to us and we really appreciated it. She took great care of Heidi and Bianca while we were out of town, and sent us feedback, pics &/or videos every day. There were no delays when we contacted her with a question or status update. We were super pleased with Kristin and the care she took with our girls, and we will definitely use her again! Thank you Kristin!

I’m always a little nervous leaving my little guy with a dog sitter, because he tends to be a little anxious and antisocial, even a little sassy. But Sally was amazing with making him feel comfortable and gave him so much love! He even made a little friend with one of the other pups staying with her. It’s such a relief to know he’s in such good hands. Thank you Sally!

Veronica and her family are the best that I can ask for to take care of our dog, Kora. They did a fantastic job to help Kora come out her shell in a short time during her boarding with them. I got lots of photos and updates to see Kora got spoiled with lots of home made treats, walks, cuddles and play time. I will ask Veronica again if kora needs a sitter again!

When our dog sitter canceled the day before we were to leave, Someone recommended Rover. I was hesitant, but I found Sabastian and was happy with his bio. He responded immediately and agreed to get our dog the next day. I am so thankful to them. He and his family took such good care of our baby. He sent us pictures throughout the stay and reassured everything was great and our dog was enjoying thier dogs. Our dog was well taken care of and healthy and happy when we picked him up. Sabastian was very welcoming and kind to us and our dog and I am so thankful that we found him. We will definitely use him again.

My dog normally is hesistant of new people but immediately took to Shannon. Shannon taught me about proper intros and health facts around bloating I never knew prior. She not only kept me updated while she boarded my high energy dog everyday she had her, she also was understanding of unexpected car issues i had on the day of pick up. I would recommend Shannon to anyone who needs a safe place for their pet and seeking good communication during whatever service they choose to explore with her. 10000/10 would recommend

Nikki did an amazing job with our girl Esmae! Not only did she take amazing care of her, she kept us in the loop with pictures and videos of how she was doing while we were away. She was very fast to respond when I first reached out. She even taught Esmae how to play fetch. She didn't JUST watch her she loved on her and made her feel welcomed and comfortable. She took her on walks and had play time in the backyard, and cuddled time before bed. Thank you again Nikki!

Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with our 1 1/2 year old bernedoodle, Wren. She treated her like one of her own and even took her to our local dog park (that we are also members of) for extra outside play with other dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos, was super responsive and communicated throughout our time away. Wren was super happy and playful when we picked her up which is a testament to how comfortable and well taken care of while we were away! We hope to have Charlotte care for her again the next time we’re away.

Kept me up to date with the goings on each day with photos. When I went to pick him up she gave a summarized report and everything they did. He seemed happy when I picked him up. When we got home he was moping around…prob because he missed all the fun he was having.
