Scott took such good care of Leo. He sent daily updates and photos and I could tell Leo was having a great time. Also, when we got Leo home, he was his happy-go-lucky self vs out of sorts, which has happened in the past when we have boarded him with a kennel. We will definitely book with Scott in the future and can rest easy knowing our furry son is well cared for and happy.

Lori was so great with our puppy! I didn’t feel worried the whole time we were gone. She responded to me when I asked how he was and even sent pictures, which made my dog mama heart so happy ❤️

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Shelly and her family were great hosts for our 2 dogs - they quickly worked out that one needed activity and one just needed love. We received lots of pics and informative updates, and really hope we have the opportunity to have our dogs stay again. Thank you so much!

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

Loki LOVED his stay with Ashley , Oziel and their sweet dogs while we were out of town. They sent his pictures and updates regularly which kept me tension free & relieved throughout my trip. Loki enjoyed his stay much , that he was sad leaving his 2 new dog friends while coming back home ?. I would blindly recommend them to all fur babies parents. Loki is already waiting for his next trip with them.

Laura and Remi were great and so welcoming! Our dog, Bodie, was a little nervous at first but according to the pictures we received, he had no issues warming up to them. A long weekend of playing, resulted in a tired pup that crashed hard once he got home. We will definitely rebook with Laura!

Our dog just spent another A+ time with Molly. He's excited to go over to her place, which tells you how well she treats him, and her updates give us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacations. Our little guy comes home so happy. We're grateful.

Lara and Cary were absolutely amazing with our aging dog. She needed a bit more care than an average dog due to her age and Lara and Cary were the absolute best to her! I would 100% recommend them and I know our dog is looking forward to seeing them again! I can't thank them enough!

Evan and his family took good care of Scout. He was happy, well-fed, and comfortable. I was a bit worried to leave him with a new sitter for a full week but my fears were unfounded. I will certainly have Evan take care of Scout in the future.

Cliff was great!! Was able to work with me and my schedule. Very friendly and reasonable rates! Pluto had such a good time! I am about to start my masters and I plan to drop Pluto off again some weekends throughout the semester when school gets a little too stressful. I will be a return booker! ?
