Exceptional care! Our dog, Zeus fell ill while we were away, but thanks to Priti, we couldn't have asked for better support. Her attentiveness and compassion were remarkable. She went the extra mile to ensure our pup's comfort, managing the illness with expertise. We received regular updates with pictures & videos, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Priti, for anyone needing special care for their furry baby.

A huge thanks to Gavin for helping with the heavy crate, too, he moved it to and from the car on his own without us even asking. Champ came home happy, well-fed, and on his regular routine. Highly recommend them if you need a reliable team! We will definitely be booking with her again.

Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.

Very satisfied with Shirley’s care of my two dogs. My younger dog is very attached to me and not used to me being out of the house, let alone boarded for six nights. Shirley and her family worked with her so she settled in. I picked up two happy and well cared for dogs. Will use again.

I have used Michael for many months now. I did find someone closer to home to use as well and what I’ve learned is: Michael is worth the drive, always reliable, dependable, and flexible. An unplanned family emergency ended up extending simbas stay and Michael was supportive, flexible & communicative as to which pick up times he would be available for me to pick up my dog when I was ready… no rush. Thank you again for just always being reliable. That in itself along with the great care you provide simba with is why we make the 40 minute drive to you!!!

I know I am a a bit late on this review. Elizabeth was great and Abby had so much fun with her, that when I showed up to get her she didn’t even care that I was there she was having so much fun. Thank You! It’s hard leaving her but it’s nice knowing it’s like a vacation for her also. I also want to point out Elizabeth took us with a days notice after our prior puppy sitter had to cancel

We first met Briana before leaving our 2 dogs, and we knew immediately that she was the caring, dog loving person others have commented about. So, we ended up leaving our 2 dogs with Briana for a long weekend. The drop off was amazing, as the dogs were welcomed as if they lived there. Throughout the weekend we received pictures, and when we picked them up, it was clear that they had a great time. We highly recommend Briana, and look forward to the next time she will watch our dogs!

Melissa is my go-to sitter for whenever I need to go on longer vacations. I like that Mipha has various other friends to play with to expend her energy and I like seeing the pictures of them goofing around (pictures get provided daily). Melissa is always a text away and will answer promptly.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my fur baby than Megan and her family. They included Marlo like she was their own and gave her so much love and the best photo updates! In the past when Marlo has come home from a sitter she’s been a bit on edge or overly exhausted, but when she got home it was as if she was just gone visiting a friend. We highly recommend Megan!

We love James! He was great to work with, but most importantly, our dog Bella had a great time. Bella is getting older, and we've been worried that she's been getting very stressed when we leave her at a kennel. We decided to try something different for this trip and tried Rover, where we found James. He kept us updated daily and kept us in touch. Bella and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
