Ben was the BEST. This was the first time I’ve left my dog with anyone other than family and Ben made me feel so much better about it. We got regular updates and pictures and my dog seemed so happy to be there! Will definitely recommend Ben and will use him again next time I travel! Thanks Ben!

Kelly was great to coordinate with, and I felt confident I was leaving Decker in great hands! He came home happy after a weekend of play with Ziggy and great care. Would absolutely rebook with them.

Lucas and his girlfriend took great care of our little dog Jake while we were out of the country for a week. He had a great time and I could tell he enjoyed his stay and was very comfortable with them. Their home and space is very clean and they are very kind and accommodating. Jake is a senior chihuahua with a big personality and a couple of behavioral quirks and they handled this with understanding and patience. I would definitely recommend their services and would happily have Jake stay with them again!! :)

Jill-Ann has been taking care of our Nellie for a couple of years now, whenever we vacation, or do a weekend away. Nellie is a pretty fussy eater, so we were worried when we first went away leaving Nellie with Jill-Ann and her family. Well, after an hour we had pictures sent to us, with her little fellow and Nellie sitting next to each other snuggling up, and later on, more pictures of Nellie on a walk etc. and we have pictures sent to us every day, so we get to feel connected to our little girl. Jill-Ann is just wonderful with our Nellie. Now we don't hesitate to go away on a long weekend here and there nor worry about Nellie when we take a vacation away. We used to feel so guilty, as Nellie would NOT want to go to the doggy day-cares etc. Nellie comes home well loved and we can relax knowing Jill-Ann is taking good care of her. Thanks so much Jill-Ann!

Muhammad is amazing with his service. He shows very welcoming atmosphere since we were first met. He looks after my dog very careful about eating, pee break and sleeping. I will definitely recommend him for everyone and will book with him again when I have a next trip.

Julia was so great with our Golden Retriever puppy. She sent us updates and pictures so we know he was doing ok. Her two other dogs and cat were very nice and playful and shared their space with Bentley. Julia had no problem following our requests and our instructions. She insured that our puppy was comfortable and happy. Definitely recommend!!

Trent spoiled my dog with lots of exercise - he came home pooped after spending the night! He sent lots of photos during Yogi’s stay. I’d highly recommend Trent, and I’ll be using him again for sure!

Marisa and Danny were a one and done meetup for us. We knew instantly, as did our dog, that they were going to be great companions. They helped us navigate all the options for caring at our home and theirs - and they were very understanding and flexible with all our requests and needs. We're happy to call them our extended family and plan on future bookings with them. Highly recommend!

Brandon has watched my cat Millie a few times. And he's great with her. He's always ontime, actually early, and he's always got a smile on his face and so easy to talk to. Clean, presentable and just an over all great guy. He's always clean after he leaves and Millie seems to be in a happy mood after he leaves. I, and Millie, are glad we came across Brandon.
