We enjoyed the pictures we got of our dog’s stay. The communication was awesome! Our dog is still tired! We felt like he was in great hands and would gladly choose Whitney and her husband to watch our dog again!

Veronica is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My dog was so comfortable with her and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was well taken care of. I received regular updates and pictures and Veronica immediately let me know when she suspected my dog had a UTI. She even made little treats for the dogs for Thanksgiving (she did ask permission to give them first). ❤️ Will absolutely be booking with her again.

I was very pleased coming across Halley to board my fur baby, Niko. She is super nice and was a pleasure to work with. I can tell Niko had a great night with her and had a lot of fun time because he’s been napping on and off since pick up. I love how she is proactive and I will most definitely book again.

Eileen was fantastic! As soon as we met Eileen, we knew our baby would be in good hands while we were away! She really put our minds at ease and sent us pics or a video each day while we were away. Scout was clearly having a good time while we were away and was well taken care of by Eileen!

We were happy with our dog’s stay with Jessica. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay. Jessica has a large, fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play. We appreciated that we could do a meet and greet before the stay- we had requested this with other sitters and were either ignored or stood up.

Sandra is wonderful with pets. From my observations she is loving, gentle, and patient with dogs and cats the same. She is responsible when it comes to feeding schedules, medicine doses, walks, etc. She is definitely a go to when it comes to taking care of your pets.

This is our second time staying with Jud and Nicole, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They are such patient, friendly, dog-loving people, and your dog will no doubt have a vacation of their own! My dog is very hyper, and they handle her so well, and always send lots of pictures and updates. Stay with them if you can!!!!

Texana is absolutely WONDERFUL! I had to find a sitter for my bf’s dog, Nova on short notice while traveling for an event and she was so great! I appreciate her taking a last minute booking! It was great that she kept me updated the whole time with texts and pictures. She’s very sweet, helpful, and communicates well! My bf and I are in agreement that there’s no doubt she’d our first choice to let her watch Nova again! We highly recommend her!

Michael was the best sitter ever for my fur baby! He came to us for a meet and greet, he also agreed to pick/ drop off which was a huge plus for our situation. Mike was very nice, friendly and understanding. I really hope we can keep Michael as our sitter for Winter, thank you so much again!!
