Lawrencia is wonderful! She was quick to respond and answer any of my questions prior to our booking. She sent several photos and updates to let us know our dog, Charley, had settled in and was having fun. We would absolutely book with her again in the future.

I recently had the opportunity to use Marianna for my pet, and I am pleased to share my experience with fellow pet owners seeking a reliable and caring service for their dogs. From the initial contact to the final pickup, my experience with Marianna was nothing short of exceptional. Her genuine affection for my girls was evident in their interactions. Mari was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, communicated regularly with updates and photos, which eased my mind while I was away. Our girls returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for, which speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianna to anyone in need of dog-sitting services. Her commitment to providing the highest level of care, coupled with her compassion, makes Marianna a top choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.

This was first time Penny stayed at someone's house that she didn't know as she usually stays with friends so we were a bit worried, but Penny absolutely LOVES staying with Madelyn. Great communication and we loved getting the daily updates with photos and Penny. It was easy to tell that she was getting spoiled. We will definitely use them again!!

We highly recommended Sasha to care for your dog. Our family left Ollie (our 3 year old lab) with her for nearly two weeks while we traveled in Italy. It’s always hard to leave your pet..especially somewhere new. Sasha sent tons of pictures and videos and we could tell he was very happy and well cared for. We loved how he went everywhere with her family ? . We would absolutely love to have Ollie stay with her again.
