K I believe a true sign of a great dog sitter is when your dog doesn’t want to come home after staying with them. That’s exactly how it was with Lauren and Jack — I highly recommend them for dog boarding!
From the moment we had our meet and greet, I could tell they were lovely, easygoing people with big hearts. They clearly have experience with dogs, understand their needs, and are in tune with canine psychology. We spent a wonderful hour together, chatting, laughing, and watching our dogs play. It felt like meeting old friends.
On the day of boarding, I was quite nervous about how everything would go. But my worries disappeared the moment I received the first video from Lauren. Our big St. Bernard Mollie looked so happy and relaxed — I was thrilled to see the positive connection between our dog and his new caregivers.
Throughout the stay, Lauren kept in touch and sent regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. The conditions they offer are just fantastic: a large fenced yard, a covered area for dogs running, fresh rural air, and a peaceful environment. On top of that, they provide loving care, playtime, and stick to your dog’s daily routine.
Another big plus is their flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times, and the fact that your dog is supervised throughout the entire stay.
I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful couple to anyone looking for a home-away-from-home for their dog. If you want your dog to feel like part of a family — loved, spoiled, and well cared for — Lauren and Jack are the perfect choice.
Our dog Mollie, who is very attached to me and usually never leaves my side, didn’t want to come home. I think that’s the biggest compliment we could give to her wonderful hosts.
Thank you, Lauren and Jack — we’ll definitely see you again!

BSuzanne was an amazing dog sitter! We last minute needed someone and she was quick to respond and happy to take our doggo for 4 days. Her communication arranging the sit and the daily updates was fab. She took very good care of our dog and he seemed delighted with her company. Also has a lovely enclosed yard for your pets which I know our dog loved! Would highly recommend Suzanne as a pet sitter!
