Well you know your pup will enjoy their stay when you drop off and find yourself self hanging out and enjoying the scene for an hour before leaving. You will feel immediately comfortable with Scott and his wife, and so will your dog. Great people with a huge fenced in back yard. I wold recommend these two any time to anyone.

Duncan had so much fun during his stay at Justin's, judging by the looks of the pictures that were sent and the fact he slept all day after he came home. Communication was great and was very responsive. Will book again!

Patty was great to work with and always prompt with responses. I appreciate the updates and pictures. I let her know I have a nervous dog and she was open to a meet and greet and asked what would help my dog to be comfortable while he was with her. Will use her again. Thanks Patty!!

When our last booking cancelled at the last minute, Lisa stepped up and agreed to watch Violet for us last minute. She was amazing with her! Violet has anxiety and is a bit high maintenance but Lisa and her husband went above and beyond making sure she was taken care of, had her medicine, and was loved during the week while we were gone. She sent daily updates and pictures of the fun they were having. I highly recommend having Lisa take care of your furry friends!

This was our first time using Ginny for dog care, and she was was great to work with! She was responsive, friendly, flexible and caring. She stayed in touch, provided pictures and updates, and made our dog -who can be very anxious when separated from us -feel at home.

Jeffrey and Nicole are awesome!! I felt so good leaving my dog with them. They were very prepared with crates and toys, and I love their huge fenced in back yard. They sent so many pictures and videos, which I absolutely love to receive when I'm away from my dog. Would definitely book again :)

Cally did amazing job taking care of our two dogs. She kept us up to date of their activities and sent us pictures of Mila and Bruno enjoying the days, which gave us piece of mind when we were out of town. We highly recommend Cally and for sure we will call her back next time we need a dog sitter.

Danielle and her fiancé did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 month old golden retriever puppy, Rookie. It was our first time boarding him and she did a great job ensuring everything would be okay! She sent many pictures and updates so we knew Rookie was getting along just fine. He had a lot of friends to play with while he was there and slept like a baby when he got home! Not only are Danielle and her fiancé dog lovers, but I can tell they know what they are doing when it comes to taking care of your pup - would definitely recommend Danielle to others!
