“My pup (Jameson) had such a good time that he did not want to come home. Tyler was great in answering any questions I had prior to dropping Jameson off and set up a meeting beforehand so Jameson could meet him and the dogs. Highly recommend Tyler for any pet watching needs!”
6. Cruz Maria D.
“Our two dogs spent five days with Cruz. They came home happy, calm and healthy. No side effects from being away from us. It was obvious they felt safe and had great care.”
7. Michal & John R.
“Michal&John have been an absolute god send. You can tell right away when you do the meet greet that they are very kind and also take what they do seriously. I recently adopted a puppy and they agreed to take care of her while I’m at work. I don’t know what I would do with out them. Now while I’m at work I don’t feel like I need to worry about my pup at all because she’s with great caring people. If you are considering a pet sitter look no further !”
8. Karina S.
“Karina was amazing!! She made the whole boarding process with our dog easier than I thought it would be! This was our first time leaving our dog in someone else's care and Karina made sure to update us daily on how our Nova was doing and she even sent pictures! We could tell that our dog adored Karina and was always having so much fun with Karina's dog, Ariel! Knowing that Nova was being loved and cared for by a responsible individual while my family was away definitely put my mind at ease. I (and Nova) are so thankful and look forward to seeing and booking with Karina again! I could not ask for a better person! I would, and will recommend Karina every time!!”
9. Alex M.
“Can we leave six stars? 10 stars? Alex and Bethany made my dog feel welcomed and loved from the first meeting. She acted as if she had known them her whole life, with big Staffie smiles and wiggles. Lots of space to run and play both inside and out. Daily updates with photos Genuine concern for our dog both physically and emotionally. We are so happy with the care provided that we are looking for excuses to leave our dog with them again 😁”
10. Gail S.
“Gail is a trustworthy and dependable person. She is compassionate with dogs and people too! Gail shows up on time and keeps her commitments. She is an active person who loves walks and outdoors. She is respectful of personal property. Lucky dog who gets Gail!”
11. Natthinee B.
“Nat and her husband were so great! They agreed to watch Auri kind of last-minute when my other plans fell through. They sent me cute photos and videos and perfectly detailed updates. Auri looked like she had a really great time. I would definitely send my pup to them again!”

14. Eleni F.

15. Steve R.
“We are so happy to have found Steve and Deb! We were nervous to leave our 8 month old pup (70 pound Shepard) for the first time but Steve and Deb made us feel totally comfortable and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. The pics we received of our pup having fun and enjoying his time with all his new friends was heartwarming!♥️ Thank you and we will definitely be back!”
16. James E.
“From the first contact, I loved James' response. He first asked about meeting Neo to see if he would be a good match for his family, which gave me peace. He kept in contact by sending us pics and updates during our time away. No regrets! 🙏🏻”
17. Triba M.
“Triba took great care of my Shih Tzu for a week. She sent me photos and even took him to the dog park. She walked him a couple of times a day. Thank goodness for her, I was able to vacation in peace. ?”
18. Heather & Norman R.
“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”
19. Wendy s.
“Had such a wonderful experience with Wendy this past weekend, she and her family took great care of Layla and were very accommodating to our trip schedule. With a large backyard and other dogs to socialize with, I was glad to know Layla wouldn't ever feel alone while we were gone. 100% recommend Wendy's services.”
20. Sean & Jill O.
