Thanks so much for watching our dog! It was our first time boarding him and we were nervous, but Julia was super prompt with messages and sent pics/videos throughout his stay. Love the attention cooper got while boarding. Julia was honest and communicated well and we would love to have cooper there again!

Heather was fantastic! We got so many great photos and videos of our pup s stay, and I could tell he was very happy and having so much fun. He pretty much got a week long vacation! Lol adventurous walks, lots of cuddles, playtime with the whole family. We cannot recommend Heather enough!

I was absolutely amazing with my pup! From the moment we booked, communication was great, and I could tell my dog was in caring, capable hands. She sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate the extra attention and love they gave, definitely booking again!

Ashley was great. It was my first time using wag and on top of that I have a high energy husky with separation anxiety. She sent several updates and spent time outside playing ball to help get his energy out. I would recommend her to anyone!

Thank you so much for watching Raven! I m very picky when it comes to people watching my dog because she s spoiled and used to how we do things. I really appreciate the great care you gave her. Usually when other sitters watch her, her energy changes when I get home, which made me nervous to try someone new but she did so well with you! She was clearly well taken care of, and she loves her ketchup bottle toy
