Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.

Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.

Cassandra is amazing! She sent videos and pics of Chief showing how much fun he was having. He played with other dogs, played fetch, played in water, and was tired. She’s the best!!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Gemma had a great time, and I really appreciated Kayla helping us at the last minute. I'm very picky who cares for my girl, and would definitely use Kayla again! Gemma is currently curled up in my lap taking a nap, she is wore out!

Jessica was amazing and took great care if our Sumo while we were on vacation. She was a great communicator and sent us updates everyday. It really made our vacation better because we knew Sumo was being well taken care of back home. I will for sure use her service again in the future!
