“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”

“I want to thank you for your patience and great service with Lexi. I was away for 5 days and 4 nights and I felt as though all was right because you kept me updated. I will definitely be using your service again when I need to. Kathy is definitely my to go person when I need a dog sitter.”
“First time utilizing Kyle’s services for my 2 miniature shitzhus and it was absolutely amazing. It’s the first time I had to use this kind of service and honestly, it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Kyle provided videos throughout the evening so I could feel comfortable with the whole process - it was nice to notice my dogs having fun with another dog Kyle was doggy sitting. Communication was very smooth. I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing his services again.”

About: I’ve had take care of animals my whole life 20 + years, my friends and family pets also! I treat every animal with compassion and love. I rescued my German Shepherd although he’s an old man he is my best friend. I work full time and get off at 4:00pm, so after that I am free the rest of the day. Also I do not work on the weekends so also available all day. I have a fenced in yard so getting let out to go potty is never a worry! Big yard to run around and get exercise and have the best time.
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“I could feel how much she truly love dogs, and that gave me peace of mind even though it was my first time leaving my pet with her. She took such great care of my eldery dog, ensuring my dog had her medication with meals and looking after her so well, even in this cold weather. It felt like she cared for my dog as if it's her own dog, and I am so grateful for that. I truly would love to have pet sitting again in the future!”
“Gus had another fantastic time at Susan’s. She is so wonderful with him and does such a great job of sending pictures and videos everyday. He comes home tired, but so happy from playing with Frank and the other dogs that stay while he’s there.”
“Kaitlynn has watched our golden retriever several times now and has been consistently awesome. She sends pictures and updates each day, and you can tell she gives personal attention and love to the dogs in her care. We are lucky to have found her!”
“Cynthia was such a great companion for the day for our Havanese puppy! She sent lots of photos and updates of him playing and exploring and kept us informed about how he was doing. We feel so lucky to have found her and will definitely ask her look after our furry friend again the next time we need to be out for the day or over night. Thanks, Cynthia!”
“Beth and Edward took great care of my puppy Moose. It is very obvious that they have a ton of experience with dogs of all breeds and ages, which made me very comfortable leaving Moose with them for 4 nights. I received update pictures multiple times a day, and Moose was always playing or cuddling! I can tell the dogs that stay with them are loved like their own. Thank you Beth and Edward!”
“Mike was fantastic. He took great care of our dog while we were out of the country. He sent us photo updates throughout the stay. His backyard is fully fenced in and beautiful. And Pickle and Burt were very welcoming to Theo. We will book Mike again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”
“We just picked up our two Shetland Sheepdogs from a 6 day stay with Jake and Lisa. We can not say enough good things about how they were with our dogs. Every day we were getting photos and videos of all the fun things they were doing. Walks in the park-looked like a different place every day! They have two dogs of their own and they sent videos of all the dogs playing ball and running around together having a blast. I was saying on our way from the airport to pick them up, that I hope they are going to want to come home !!! We are very pleased and would give them 10 stars if we could!”
“Best sitter ever! Austin took my doberman Riley in when I was scrambling to find someone last minute. He sent me pictures and updated me multiple times a day. He treated Riley like his own. I’ve tried a few different sitters and he is the best by far. Could not recommend him more!”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”
