Kyra was an amazing dog sitter for Leroy. I'm so grateful for the thought and care she provided him while I was away. She sent daily pics and updates so I could stay in touch with how Leroy was doing during the stay. Thanks again!

Cathy was so kind! She took wonderful care of our dog and spent a lot of time playing outside with him. He came home happily exhausted. She also sent updates and pictures, and we never worried about him at all while we were gone.

She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.

Kayla provided lots of pictures/updates while our dog, Gator, stayed the night at her house, which was really appreciated! Her communication was great, and she was so understanding and helpful. She took great care of Gator and we would definitely rebook with her in the future!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.

Sara was great! Very responsive and saved us on a last minute request. This was our first booking for our new (4 month old) puppy and so we were thankful she took a puppy and it seemed to go very well. Sara shared photos/videos and was responsive to any messages sent to our time away. Appreciate her communication and flexility - will definitely use Sara again!

Odin, our Great Dane loved his stay this past week! I was out of the country on a vacation, and Alysha made sure to provide pictures and feedback to me the entire time regardless of my bad connection. I also had to change the schedule of Odin’s stay because my flight was changed (you know how travel is lol) but she was super flexible!! Definitely will be booking again & recommending her to others!

I will never use a commercial kennel again! Kristy took in our Australian Shepherd puppy for the week and I could not have been happier. In fact, I don't think our puppy could have been happier! After picking her up I believe she had withdrawals. She missed being at Kristy's. I highly recommend Kristy as she was easy to work with and provided texts on our puppy's status. She is truly a pet lover and will contact her with future sitting opportunities.

Gabby watched our Australian Shepherd for 3 days and 2 nights and we will be calling her again! She was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times, and our dog had a great time playing with her dog. Gabby treated our dog like her own. I would highly recommend calling Gabby to watch your dog.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.
