“We used Schejn when we needed emergency last minute care for our beagles. He responded quickly and our pups were very well cared for. The whole transaction was very easy and we did not worry once. Thank you!”
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic! She treated my beagle as if he was her own during our weekend away. Kelly is trustworthy and dependable. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“we love leaving our dog with Mickey. We know she truly loves her and takes her for wonderful walks and takes good care of her. Daisy is always happy to go to Mickey‘s house. Amy.”
“We can’t thank Kai enough for being an absolute lifesaver during our recent trip to Ocean City. We had brought our dog Rex along, thinking the hotel allowed pets—but to our surprise, they didn’t. We were in a real bind, and Kai came through for us in the best possible way. She welcomed Rex into her home on short notice and treated him like one of her own. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. Kai kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and the sweetest pictures—it made such a difference knowing he was in loving hands. Rex was so happy and well cared for. When we picked him up, he looked like he’d had a vacation of his own! If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs, I cannot recommend Kai enough. She was truly a blessing, and we are beyond grateful for her help.”
“Daniela was absolutely wonderful with Elsa! Her calm and soothing presence made Elsa feel comfortable right away. Elsa also loved spending time with Daniela’s sweet dog—I’m pretty sure they became fast friends. I felt completely at ease knowing Elsa was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy caregiver!”
“Olsen came back happy and exhausted from his time spent with Jill! She sent us updates and it gave us peace of mind to know Olsen had people and animals to play with while we were gone.”
“I think Cody really enjoyed his first Boarding with Chelsea! We will certainly be back! In fact already have another Boarding booked! Chelsea communicated great and sent pictures. Her parents being there are an added bonus! Cody is getting lots of love!”
“Donald was great with our quirky, senior greyhound. His patience and kindness is much appreciated and gave us peace of mind leaving her for the first time. Thank you Donald!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Margit and Bill! I received pictures and updates on my Sunny daily and I could see that my Sunny was happy, given lots of love and well cared for! Sunny has always been a fussy eater but Margit managed to find a dog food that Sunny decided to eat. Margit and Bill took extra steps to ensure Sunny's safety. I will DEFINITELY reach out to Margit and Bill next time Sunny needs a temporary home that is filled with love and dedication.”
“Cindi was really wondeful to our Sandy. She spent allot of time making it fun for her. Her dog Snickers is very nice and friendly. Sandy and Snickers had allot of fun together. Cindi sent us many updates and photos. Sandy and Snickers were playing together in most of them. Cindi is terrific with dogs. I highly recommend you leave your dog with Cindi!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters out there-period! Not only did Samantha agree to board my two dogs on short notice, she went above and beyond to care for one of them who unexpectedly obtained additional medical needs the night before my travel. What could have been an incredibly stressful (or non-existent) trip became one of the most stress-free trips due to Samantha’s care. I received daily updates (with photos/video) and I’ve never seen my dogs so happy away from home. She’s got a spacious fenced-in yard and a well-maintained area for the dogs to play and stay. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for Samantha’s care. Book her now-you won’t find anyone better!”
“Margaret took great care of our two Yorkshire terrier mix dogs during a recent 6 day stay. The dogs were very comfortable in her home and got a lot of love and attention from Margaret. We will definitely be using her again for any future needs. Margaret is home most of the time and has a fenced outside area, which is something we were looking for. Getting the daily photos and updates was much appreciated. She also seemed to genuinely enjoy having the pups stay with her. Great Sitter! Thank you!”
“Our dog, Scout stayed with Julie and her family for a week and she had an amazing time! They took great care of her with lots of walks and playing with Julie’s kiddos. We will definitely be using Julie again in the future if and when needed! Seriously appreciate the care given to Scout and the updates we got throughout the week made us miss her just a little less!”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“Very kind and caring. Unexpectedly my dog needed medicine while I was away and Irena did not mind at all doing what was needed. She was very accommodating to my change in schedule also.”
“Lori was so wonderful and caring with my dog Precious. I knew that she was in great hands while I was away. Lori treated Precious like family and made her feel right at home. I would highly recommend Lori to care for your dog!”
“Wonderful people. Susan and Bob are very knowledgeable and caring people. I would have no qualms about leaving my young dog with them. They even provide helpful information on canine products and training tips. An excellent experience for both my dog and myself.”
