“Daniela was absolutely amazing. I will 100% be booking with her again. Hampton was taken care of like he was her own dog, she sent me updates, and communicated perfectly. I felt comfortable the second I met her, Hampton has a new best friend. He misses her already. Thank you Daniela!”
“This was our first overnight but it certainly won’t be our last. I think the biggest unsung hero of having Christina watch our dogs is the communication. It lets me know the dogs are doing well but the biggest added benefit is when I’m homesick and miss them, I get to see them! Thank you so much and we’ll see you in March!”
“Anna was the best! In the few moments I got to meet her I could tell right away she's a very empathetic, kind and caring person. She is passionate about animals and is great at understanding their behavior and adapting to it. She has her own dogs which are very well taken care of and better trained than my Bara, mine is an only-puppy so it helped with socializing her! She gave me daily updates with very detailed info on my puppy's day and tons of photos and videos. She played with her, gave her tons of treats, took her out on walks and even had movie night with her! I didn't have to worry at all. She completely won my Bara's heart.”
“Jen and Christian gave so much love and care to our little guy! We received plenty of updates including pictures that gave us peace of mind. Would book again!”
“Elmo was really happy with Amber! Amber provided excellent care and safe environment for our dog. Daily messages and pictures kept us up to date and it was nice to hear how he was doing. Will definitely use Amber again and I’d happily recommend her to anyone!”
“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”
“They were great they were awesome. I recommend them to my friends and I’ll bring my snuggles there again. Location was perfect.!! I know the rate is 1 to 5, but I gave him a 10”
“She did such a great job with my Charlie!! He was well taken care of and i was updated constantly on his well being, especially with pictures! I 1000% recommend and will definitely keep her in contact in case I need another babysitter!”
“I was very nervous to leave my new puppy with a sitter for the first time, but they made it a seamless and stress free process. They are so kind and welcoming and sent so many updates and pictures! 11/10! Thank you again!”
“Karen and Donald are my Jaxie’s second home. They take care of Jax like he belongs to them. If you want your pet to be cared for as good as you do or better then have Karen and Donald sit him when you can’t. You will be very very pleased.”
“Jamie was wonderful with our dog Paco. She kept us informed daily with texts and photos. I was worried about him since he does have separation anxiety but Jamie but my mind at ease. When we picked him up I could tell he was comfortable with her. Would definitely book again if needed in the future.”
“Virlyn and Vanessa were wonderful with our dog! They went above and beyond to accommodate us! We even received video of our dog enjoying walks and food! We definitely found our new pet sitters!”
“Jack & Joanne took such great care of Shelby! This was our first time leaving her overnight and we were a bit nervous. There was no reason to be nervous because they took care of her like their own.”

Adam was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely kind and attentive during our meet and greet, and offered status updates and pictures of my dog Calvin on request. Calvin himself can be a little apprehensive with strangers, but soon found himself hanging out on the couch like part of the family. Note that the "on the couch" thing was actually something Adam brought up during the meet and greet because he didn't want to start any behaviors that would contradict what Calvin is allowed to do at home. That in and of itself should show just how much Adam cares about making sure your pup is being housed appropriately. I booked Adam fairly last minute due to a funeral, and my usual Kennel was all booked up- so it was a 1+ hour drive to transport Calvin, but honestly, knowing Calvin got the 1 on 1 attention was well worth the added distance. Hands down would recommend. Adam was fantastic.
