“Five full stars for Nicole and David! Excellent communication before and during my dog's stay. They did a great job keeping me up to date with photos and videos of Cody playing with other dogs and getting scratches. I could tell Cody was very well taken care of while I was gone. I also liked during the meet and greet that they introduced thier dogs one at a time. I will definitely use them again! Thanks Nicole and David!”

This was the first time we left our dog with a sitter and she gave us great piece of mind so we could enjoy our time away without worrying about our dog. She send many updates and pictures/videos so we could see our dog was having a good time. I would recommend and use her again.”

“We needed a last minute booking after a different plan fell through. Kathleen let us do a meet and greet quickly and things "clicked" between our dogs. So the next day, we I brought our dog over. She was attentive to all details and what she could do to make our dog comfortable. she sent lots of pics and kept us updated with how things were going. It helped me feel much more relaxed knowing our dog was happy and cared for. He did SO WELL because of Kathleen's love and care. This ended up not only helping us have good care for our dog, but it definitely helped him come out of his shell more and experience dog play and fun, which he had not previously known. What a delight! I'm confident we'll book with Kathleen many more times.”
