  Once again, Penny had a wonderful experience with Beverley and Chip. Although she was happy to see me, she whimpered a bit as I drove away. I can't think of anyone else I would want as my dog's caretaker when I am away. Thanks again, Bev and Chip!

  Bev and Chip were great! They sent me pictures daily to show me how much my dog was enjoying their spacious and well-manicured backyard. They also sent emails periodically to provide updates on what my pup was up to each day. Totally gave me peace of mind while I was traveling and I can't wait to use them again!

  Outstanding host, both Bev and husband Chip. Our Noah was there for just under 2 weeks, this was the first time we had been away from him for this length of time, so we were a bit concerned. After our meet and greet, we were completely won over. They gave our big baby complete run of the house, sent pictures and emails daily, called when there was a concern about his eating, he had the company of their two lovely poodles. Additional plus.. awesome fenced in back yard and garden for him to play in. We will be returning. We highly recommend them both~

  This was Lucky's first time staying with anyone other than a family member, and our experience was Pawsome! Lucky is usually a very shy dog and it takes him a while to warm up to strangers, however, he connected immediately with Aunt Bev, Uncle Chip and their poodles. It was also very comforting to receive emails with photos of Lucky having fun. We think Lucky had more fun than we did. LoL We recommend Bev and Chip highly, and we hope they can accommodate Lucky again in the near future. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

  Bev and Chip have become Sadies home away from home and I wouldnt feel comfortable leaving her with anyone else but them. Bev, Chip, and their sweet pups, Arabia and Zolani are the perfect hosts and playmates!!!!

  Awesome is the only word to describe our experience. Bev and Chip are awesome and Gunner enjoyed his visit with their dogs. The pictures they sent during our vacation meant so much. Thanks and we will definitely use Bev and Chip again in the future.

  Every time I travel, I try to take my dog Zeus with me. When that was not possible, I have previously left him with friends/family or boarded him. None of these previous alternatives come close to the experience had with Bev and Chip. In summary, I have never been more comfortable with piece of mind than the recent experience of leaving Zeus in their care. What makes this experience so special and comforting include: an initial meet and greet, daily contact via email and text to include pictures of Zeus enjoying his doggy vacay in Bev and Chip's home...all presented from Zeus' perspective - which gave it both a personal and comforting tone. This allowed me to relax and enjoy my cousin's wedding. When I went to pick up Zeus, although he was happy to see me, I am not convinced he wanted to leave Bev, Chip, and his two new poodle buddies. This will always be my first option - underscore, always - when leaving Zeus behind on future trips. Bev and Chip, I can't thank you enough for taking such great care of my little Chihuahua, Zeus.

  We are incredibly happy with our Olive's stay with Beverley and Chip. We loved getting updates on her stay and she seemed to really enjoy her time there. They were also very understanding when our return trip turned into a bit of a mess. We will definitely be leaving Olive with them again.

  As usual, I was extremely happy with Penny's experience with Beverley and Chip. She is always so happy to stay with them and I am sure she misses them when I take her home.She has boarded at many different places but this is the best one!

  Whether you live 5 miles or 25 miles from Bev and chip, make them your first choice in dog sitting. No one takes better care than they do of your pet and always make you feel welcome..stress free pet sitting, updates and full attention to your dogs needs is their priority. You don't regret it, they are TOP QUALITY CARE!

  Bev and Chip made us feel so comfortable leaving Maddie in their care while we were on vacation. This was the first time we left Maddie instead of having her travel with us, and Bev and Chip were not only incredibly professional but extremely caring and loving people with Maddie, which put us at ease. They took Maddie right into the poodle pack and treated her like family. We are so grateful to them for taking such great care of our pooch!

  Beverley and Chip took excellent care of my babies!

  It was the first time for boarding our Hudson so we were a little anxious about it. But Beverly, Chip and their 2 Poodles were the perfect hosts. Hudson was happy and had a great time with the poodles and will surely be back again.

  Gracie seemed to have a wonderful time staying with Bev and Chip and their pups. Bev and Chip were great about accommodating her medications and her tendencies to pee a lot, which I greatly appreciated. I particularly enjoyed receiving texts and photos from Bev showing me how Gracie was doing. I would definitely like for Gracie to to return for another visit, and recommend Bev and Chip highly!

  Bev and Chip are wonderful hosts and I will definitely call on them in the future. Bev did a great job of sending daily updates with photos. Rocky had so much fun playing with their two dogs, Arabia and Zolani, that he wasn't too keen to say goodbye. He is already looking forward to his next visit!

  As always, Bev and chip took great care of Tito. He loves being with their family and looks forward to going back to see them. The daily picture and text updates have you focused on your vacation and not on worry. They are THE BEST dog sitters ever.

  Bev and Chip took absolutely wonderful care of our dog, Cooper. They were so sweet and welcoming, and I could tell Cooper would be treated as part of their family (they even let him sleep in bed with them!). Bev and Chip have 2 of their own dogs who are so friendly and make GREAT playmates. Their large back yard was such a treat for Cooper - he loved it! I was initially nervous about having to leave Cooper with people I didn't know, but Bev immediately put me at ease because it was obvious how much care she'd give to Cooper. I'm so grateful to them for keeping him safe and happy. We will definitely return!

  This is our second time leaving our dog with Bev and Chip and we will never leave him with anyone else. Thank you so much for all that you do, Bev and Chip!

  We could not have asked for anything more. It was great to know that Bailey was confortable and at home with Bev and Chip. Their Text messages and Emials with pictures was a nice touch and made us feel good that Bailey was in good hands. Highly recommend their sevice and have already made my next reservation for Bailey to stay with Bev and Chip.

  This was our first experience with Chip and Bev and we can honestly say it will not be the last. Because Daisy is a puppy mill rescue it was very important to us to place her with someone that would not crate her. After our initial meet and greet, we felt totally comfortable leaving her in their care. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos we received from Bev. We were able to relax while we were on vacation knowing that Daisy was safe and on vacation also! We may even have to schedule regular play dates with Xolani and Arabia. I would absolutely recommend Chip and Bev to anyone who loves their pet!

  Thank you Bev & Chip for your outstanding service for our dogs while we were away for Thanksgiving. It feels good to know that there are great people like yourselves who go the extra mile to take care of the dogs. You're compassion with our dog was incredible and we really appreciate it very much. I know Lois & Tinley will be happy to stay with you when we plan our next trip/weekend getaway. Thank you.

  sorry for the late review, I had tried twice and it didnt post! I can not say enough wonderful things about this family! I was very impressed with the entire experience, the close proximity to where I live and the wonderful dogs they have. Not only did Tito have NO issues when he returned home except being wore out from play time, I think he wanted to go back! Tito usually has stomach issues when he returns but they obviously treated him properly with treats and food...such a relief!! Tito and I are both looking forward to his next trip over to Bev's house...I wouldn't think twice about it. Bev runs this service like a true professional. Thank you!!

  We were very happy with the love and care that our dog received from Bev and Chip. They kept us updated every day with a text and pictures which made our vacation more worry free. We knew that our dog was in good hands and he felt right at home on his doggy vacay. We would not hesitate to have our dog stay with Bev and Chip again. Larry and Susan

  This was Sadies 2nd stay with Bev and Chip and I once again dont have enough words to say how wonderful they are... Their home is becoming her home away from home and I couldnt be more pleased with the care and love she receives while we're away!!

  Beverley and Chip were wonderful to Bodhi and Bodhi made buddies with their poodles too. I was able to relax on my trip, knowing that Bodhi was in great hands. I really appreciated the text updates and pictures of Bodhi that Bev sent to me every day. I highly recommend Beverley and Chip and will definitely use their services again!

  Beverly was amazing - I almost hesitate to write this review in case it makes her even busier. Her home is set on a hill with a really lush back yard, perfect for hounding. She was great with dogs, sent us a text with a photo, and even set out his tapestry on the couch for him to sit on! We really appreciated her ability to take him in the last minute and her flexibility with drop off and pick up.

  I was gone for almost two weeks and felt very happy that Lexie was in great hands. Bev kept me informed with texts, e-mails and pictures which were a lot of trouble as I was out of the country. Lexie has had some eating issues and Bev went out of her way to entice her with all variety of combinations and goodies. They are great A Plus

  This was our dog's second stay with Bev and Chip, and we were extremely pleased with the care they gave him. In particular, our dog needed medication during his stay, and Bev and Chip did a great job of giving the medication and keeping us informed about his medical status. Our dog had a wonderful time and came home happy and healthy. We definitely will be coming back to Bev and Chip for all of our dog-sitting needs!

  Bev and Chip were wonderful hosts for George. He became part of their family and was totally comfortable there. We left for a two-week trip and felt so at ease knowing George was in such good care. I would definitely send George back again.

  Elaine S

  They are golden. My dog is having some eating issues and Bev kept me completely up to date. My only problem is they are getting too popular - Thanksgiving is sold out!!
• 

  Sharon B

  As usual, Penny loved staying with Beverley and Chip. Their own 2 little poodles are also "other dog" friendly and always engage with her. Sad to say, she almost looks "down" when I take her home. It is really good to know that I can always count on them to care for her when I am away.

  Mitch S

  Bayleigh had a great time. She loved playing with the other dogs in the big back yard. Very nice people, would use again.
• 

  Marion M

  Bev and Chip were really good with my "baby", a 7y old Jack Russell, who is a bit of a barker. They made Spike feel at home and Chip even helped him getting better with his barking. He might have gotten a better vacation than I did. I will certainly leave Spike with them again when needed. Marion

  We are so glad to have found Bev and Chip to take care of our beloved dog, Kirby. They have a great house with a big backyard for dogs who need plenty of exercise. They are very warm and caring, and have been extremely responsive and flexible. They clearly care very much about the dogs they are hosting. We received frequent updates while we were away (including pictures!), and Kirby appeared very happy and well cared-for when we picked him up after a 3-day getaway. It is so important for us to know that our boy is happy, healthy and safe when we are away, and we definitely would not trust just anyone with our dog. We will be using Bev and Chip again, and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

  Reese is skittish with new people, but I had no doubt she would be comfortable with Beverley & Chip in no time - and she was. She was even able to talk them in to letting her sleep in the people bed! Reese had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs and I know she'd love to go there again. I was given updates daily and got a picture or two as well. I look forward to boarding my dog with them again.

  Above and beyond is an understatement when describing the care that Bev and Chip provided our dog, Brodie. From our very first meet and greet, they made us all feel right at home. Not only are they responsive and professional, but they clearly love dogs and treat their guests with the same love, affection, and devotion they give to their own "kids", Xolani and Arabia. We received mutliple messages/pictures with updates. Brodie was clearly in his element in their large backyard and playing with the other pups. It is so wonderful to see people who truly love what they do. We feel so fortunate to have found Bev and Chip and they have completely diminished any anxiety about having to go out of town without Brodie in the future because we know we can leave him in their capable hands! Thank you again, Bev and Chip!

  Bev and Chip were great hosts for my dog's eight night visit. I received multiple texts and emails with pics and messages about how much fun my dog was having. They were very accommodating with my schedule and have a large back yard which my dog thoroughly enjoyed. I had no worries for my dogs safety or happiness while I was out of town

  Bev and Chip were very responsive and attentive to our dog's needs. He got along very well with their dogs and their space is terrific for a dog: a nice fenced-in backyard for dogs to run and around in and play.

  This home away from home is awesome. It is like a mini vacation home for your four legged friends. Bev and Chip really care for your pup like it is their own. They are very responsible dog owners, and they send daily updates with pictures. We left our pup for nine days and he loved his stay! Highly recommended!

  Sadie loved staying with Bev and Chip. Their house is well suited for a canine vacation. The fenced in yard is a dog's paradise. Sadie loved Bev's and Chip's two poodles and I could tell that they had become fast friends by the end of her visit. I would highly recommend Bev and Chip as hosts for your dog - you can tell from the minute you meet them that they love dogs and they are very conscientious people. I felt perfectly comfortable leaving Sadie. I was afraid she wouldn't want to leave Auntie Bev's house! Overall, this was a great experience start to finish and I am so thankful that I have found a second home for my dog.

  We left our 10 month old mixed breed Sadie with Chip and Bev for 5 days last month.. Cannot say enough good things about them or the experience for both Sadie and us.. We received daily text and pictures of Sadie playing with their 2 sweet pups which was a highlight especially for our kids.. HUGE, safe backyard with lots of room to run and play.. They treated her as one of their own and we know Sadie looks forward to spending time at their home again...We will definitely be repeat customers!

  Sami was such a happy pup after her stay with Bev and Chip. Bev really goes the extra mile making the whole experience better than I could have hoped for. I would absolutely send Sami to them again.

  This was my second experience with Beverley and Chip and I was very pleased. They are so good to my dog that she seems unhappy when we leave!

  It was an overall great experience! I could tell when I arrived to pick up my dog that she loved being there. I will definitely request her services again.

  I was so happy that our dogs bonded so well with Beverley and her family from the moment we did the home visit. Both Lois & Tinley were very happy and I look forward to future stays for them with Bev. Thank you so much Bev.
