Katie was amazing with my Danner! I had an emergency pop up where I had to fly to my home town and Katie was so nice and flexible with me! Danner came home happy and pooped from all the fun he had! Definitely recommend Katie!

Great place for our dogs! They had a blast hanging out with other dogs and kids during their stay. Loved the communication from Amy and that she frequently sent videos and photos of the dogs! Highly recommend

So happy we found Marilyn and her family to board my miniature schnauzer for 6 days. They are all love for dogs and Tita felt that instantly since it is all she needs. I was so relaxed during my vacations since I would receive daily updates and pictures. It was also fun for Tita since she even received Puppy cups. Marilyn and the kids took care of our puppy as if she was their own. As I told her, they are all love for animals, definitely very special people with a big heart. Oh since they are going to miss her, we already booked for next month for our beach getaway :)

So glad we found Dina. We have a senior fur baby that we were very concerned with leaving her with someone who may not understand the care for senior dogs. Dina was great! She was very accommodating and understanding of our needs. I would highly recommend her. We will be using her again.

Lesa worked wonders with our shy dog, bringing her out of her shell in a way we never thought possible. The patience and understanding she displayed was truly remarkable. Since then, our dog has been thriving—more confident, playful, and visibly happier. It's evident that Lesa’s genuine connection and efforts have had a lasting, positive impact. We are immensely grateful for the transformation and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a caring and skilled pet sitter.

I left my Rottie for the first time with another person and not at a kennel. She was so accommodating and provided care for him once a week before I needed the week long stay. It was really more for me than my dog. I know he would be alright I just needed a bit more reassurance. Debra is a wonderful person and provided great care, pictures and comments. I enjoyed my trip knowing my dog was in the best hands possible. Thanks Debra.

Susan is the best! Millie loves staying with her and the golden retrievers and the kids, she probably has more fun there than she does with us! Susan is also very prompt in communicating and attentive to things like special diets and anxiety. We really appreciate her and would definitely have Millie stay there again!

Jade and her boyfriend were wonderful sitters for our dog, Butters, while we were in vacation. Butters had a wonderful time playing with their cats and came back happy, clean, and looking well rested from her own vacation.

Austin and Wendy were amazing at watching my puppy!! They cared for her like she was one of their own. They were very easy to communicate with and put all my worries at ease. They took my puppy on many fun adventures and made sure she got exercise and love. They sent many great photos and videos to keep me updated! Wendy and Austin truly went the extra mile. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to book with them again!

Betsy was magnificent. One of our dogs was very difficult and cried into the late evening. Betsy was great dealing with this dog's emotional problems which I didn't expect. I consulted a dog trainer about this and won't board this dog until her problems are resolved. Other than that the stay during the day was wonderful for our two dogs. Betsy provides pictures and her two little dogs are great playmates for our dogs. Her back yard is expansive and she keeps it flea and tick free.

We have had Ross watch our dog and two cats several times now. He always goes above and beyond. He treats our pets as if they are his. We highly recommend Ross and will continue to hire Ross as our top fur baby sitter.
