Absolutely thrilled with Paul and his partner as our dog sitters! From the start, Paul was extremely communicative and flexible, putting our minds at ease. It was our first time leaving our dogs overnight, and we were quite anxious, but the experience turned out to be fantastic. Drop-off was seamless, and it was evident that Paul is both easy-going and knowledgeable about dog care. His place is secure, with enough room for our small dogs to go outside. We received photo updates of our pups relaxing comfortably on the couch, which reassured us that they were in great hands. Throughout the entire experience, we felt completely comfortable and confident in their care. Paul and his partner genuinely love all animals and provided the best care for our puppies. We returned home with happy puppies, and we will definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend Paul and his partner for anyone in need of reliable and caring dog sitters!

Our experience with Dan and his family's dog boarding service was exceptional. Dan's communication was prompt and clear, setting our minds at ease from the start. Our Cavoodle immediately connected with Dan, his dog, and his cat during our initial meeting. Dan was accommodating to our schedule changes. He stayed in touch with us, ensuring we knew our pet was happy and well-cared for. We wholeheartedly recommend Dan's dog boarding services.
