Cheryl took such good care of Ruby! She was safe, comfy, and had little friends to play with. We will definitely bring her back! I’m so glad to have a happy, safe place close to home where she can go when we’re away!

Shantel was an amazing host! Shantel sent a daily summary of Oliver and Tony's day with amazing pictures! My fur babies absolutely enjoyed her backyard during a nice sunny 5 day vacation and looked like they were right at home! I would and recommend and will be back to use her services?

Heather has such an evident love for dogs which made us feel so at ease to leave our pup. She communicated well and clearly loved on Hazy while we were gone. We picked her up tired and happy! Will definitely be reaching out again!

Kana is the best sitter ever. So relieved to find someone who truly takes great care of my Stella. Stella really missed her backyard and the other dogs. Very safe place for doggies and I will definitely use Kana again. Highly recommend them. Thanks so much!!!

Romy was absolutely fabulous! She was so thoughtful and caring of our girl. She took my pup on multiple walks, cuddled with her, bathed and brushed her. She went above and beyond to make my girl feel special. We will definitely be using Romy again in the future!

Andrea was amazing with Koya! She cared for him just as we would, and kept in constant contact. We traveled internationally for a little over two weeks, and this was this first time Koya would be away from us for so long. She took him on many adventures and kept him by her side spoiling him more than we probably do! Thanks for everything Andrea, we are looking forward to booking Koya's future stays with you!

Mariela did a great job taking care of my dog and all of his needs. Mr. Capone is a fickle older dog set in his ways and she was very accommodating. I appreciate the pictures she sent and that she let me know how he was doing. My dog was a happy little guy and had been well taken care of when I picked him up.

I could not have been more pleased with the care my fur baby, Toby, received from Tobi. First, we had a meet and greet where Toby was introduced to the resident dogs. They were as welcoming as Tobi and her husband! On the day I dropped Toby off for his stay, he went right in without any nervousness, not even looking back at me. Tobi sent me updates with photos almost daily, and I could see Toby was blending right into the family (he slept on the bed with everyone at night.) I will definitely call upon Tobi for care of my Toby in the future. Great experience!

Mose didn’t want to come home with me when I went to pick him up! He was clearly well cared for and had a great time with Lauren, Dan, and their sweet pup Gracie! They were very flexible with our last minute trip and graciously made room for us. I highly recommend them!

Kelly has been fantastic! My pup Toshi has stayed with her a couple of nights and she has been so accommodating! She has sent me photos and updates which definitely puts me at ease. She has a large yard and her cute pup Khloe also keeps my dog company. You could tell she loves animals! I cannot recommend her enough, and I will always try and reach out if I need to book another stay for my pup. Thank you, Kelly!

Channing was so great watching my dog during Christmas weekend as I traveled out of state. She gave me updates throughout the day and was super accommodating when my flight back was postponed multiple times. Finnley was happy and didn’t want to leave when I finally picked her up. Thank you!

Our Milo had the best time. Lôc sent us pictures and videos to update us. This was our first time ever having our dog watched by anyone he's only a year old and I couldn't be more relieved and happy with the care Lôc provided. We will definitely be using his services again.

Dianna was so great! She was so chill and easy to work with. She suggested a meet-up about a month out prior to the date, which I thought was great because my dogs are anxious. She has a nice space for the dogs and is intentional about who is in home during their stay. Throughout the week, I got an influx of pictures and was never lacking on updates. I felt like her notes about my dogs were true to their personality and behavior… which made me feel like she was actually attuning to and caring for them. I would absolutely leave my girls with her again. It was a great fit!

Our dog loves staying with Sonya. She has a great fenced in backyard and lots of space for him to run and relax. He gets along great with her two dogs as well. She is very convenient for us.
