Patty took fabulous care of our two dogs while we were in New York visiting our son at college. She went above and beyond making sure our girls felt right at home! We loved the updates and pictures and we very much look forward to having them stay with Patty the next time we are in the area! We highly recommend Patty!!

My boys were well taken care of because while they were happy to see us, they didn't seem afraid. Robin was so good with communication and the video she sent made me feel so at ease. They were so accommodating for the last minute request due to a very sad time in our family. If they would have us again in the future, I would definitely feel comfortable leaving the boys with them. Thank You so much.

I am blessed to have found Jennifer. She was quick to respond and provided picture and message updates while I was gone. Gus loves her already and I know that he would be comfortable with Jennifer again if the need arises. I would highly recommend her to others.

If there were more stars that I could give Vera, I would do that!❤️ I was going on vacation for four days and needed to find a boarder and this is the first time that I have ever went away. I met and chose Vera and am sooooo glad that I did. She erased any anxiety that I had and was an AWESOME pet sitter!!!! She gives daily updates with photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. I will definitely use her again in the future for anything.

Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!

Couldn’t ask for a better and more reassuring experience!! Sylva and Mark are a great couple and went out of their way not only making Oliver comfortable but also understanding our concern for this first time boarding. They sent us several pictures and Oliver obviously had no problem making himself at home. He’ll be spending a weekend with them later this month.

Mellysa was amazing with our high energy puppy. She was available even though it was a last minute booking and sent pictures and follow up throughout the stay. Our puppy had so much fun and came home exhausted from all the play. Pur puppy loved her dogs and cried when she had to leave. Highly recommend for a safe and loving sitter while you are away.

Deanne was great!! First, she immediately allowed us to bring our dog to her home to see where he would be staying. She did not judge him based on size and breed but rather on his temperament and his potential fit with her family. She asked great questions before his stay and kept me informed during his visit.(she even sent photos and brief video) This was a great experience for us and Lucido!! We will be using her services again very soon!!!!

Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!

Katherine was amazing taking care of Bogey for the first time! She was super responsive during the booking process, and sent loads of photos throughout his stay. It was clear Bogey was sad to leave given what a nice time he had in Katherine's home.

Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!

Robin and John always take such amazing care of my little Fred. Her dogs are so gentle with him and he always has plenty of outside time to run wild. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch him!!

My wife and I left our two vizslas with Robin and John for 4 nights. We met with them before hand, saw that the property was very safe and had ample room for them to run and play outside. Their main focus was to do for our dogs what we do for them at home, which was great. Both dogs came home happy and worn out. Not always an easy task to wear out a vizsla. Couldn’t have asked for more. We will certainly trust Robin and John to watch our pups again in the future.
