Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.

T.j and Stephanie were so great with Luna. She has loads of energy and came home exhausted so I know she had lots of play time. They checked in and let me knew how she was doing which I really appreciated. Would definitely rebook.

She took great care of my pup! I got pictures of her while I was gone and she made sure to get her plenty of exercise! My pup slept for the next 4 hours when we got home!

Absolutely lovely! I’m looking forward to our dog’s next vacation with Julie! She has a good home in a nice neighborhood, and so quick and helpful in her messages! She sent a picture every day and showed me my dog was having lots of fun with her. I strongly recommend you book your dog to have a fun stay with Julie! :)

Kim was great with our pup, Maggie. We felt so at ease with her having fun in a great environment while we were away. She clearly knows how to handle dogs of all kinds and her family takes great care. We will definitely use and recommend Kim again!!

Famous and Houdini seemed to be well cared for with Lyndsey. She sent texts and pictures of their daily adventures & mid-day naps. I would recommend her to anyone that needs Doggy daycare or extended boarding. Thanks again.

Alice was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my dog with someone I did not know but she put me at ease as soon as we met. It was readily apparent that she has a lot of experience with dogs, and the safety and well-being of those in her care is her primary concern. She sent daily photos, videos and updates while I was gone. And it was obvious that Lucky enjoyed himself while he was there. Alice is a kind-hearted and responsible caregiver. She is at the top of my call list for future needs. Thanks Alice!

Priscilla was great to work with and our Pitbull, Star, loved her time with Priscilla and her dogs! We booked last minute and Priscilla was able to quickly get a meet and greet scheduled to see if it was a good fit. We got tons of pictures, videos and communication during our stay and could tell Star was in GREAT hands and was a happy girl the whole time. Our return home was in the air due to travel and Priscilla was very flexible and ok with our pick up time remaining flexible. Our dog was in great hands and well taken care of with Priscilla!

Briana was an amazing sitter! She provided two updates per day with numerous pictures. We could tell she really cared for Ash and gave him plenty of attention and exercise. It's a relief knowing our pup was in good hands. Ash will definitely stay with Brian's again. ?♥️

Kyra and her husband were INCREDIBLE for our dog, Oakley! We couldn’t ask for better people to watch Oakley and could really tell she was taken care of while we were gone, which meant we could fully enjoy our vacation. We got lots of pictures and great communication throughout her stay. We already have our next trip booked with Kyra and really, really appreciate how awesome she/her husband are! 10/10 stars, highest possible recommendation!! Thanks again!!!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!
