Lawrencia and her husband were great with Shadow, who can have a tough time with new people and places! She gave daily updates and sent pics along the way as well. Happy to have her watch my pup again anytime.

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.

Jacob and his wife took great care of our extra large dog, Chopper. They sent pictures daily, returned him with everything we provided, and made us feel at ease while we were away. Would recommend their services!

Madelyn and Britton were awesome boarding our dog Scout for the weekend! We had a last minute trip come up and they took Scout on late notice, provided plenty of updates & photos and made sure to ask any questions they had with her care and schedule. We now have a happy, tuckered out puppy. We’ll definitely be using them in the future and would highly recommend!

Rachel is a very responsible individual. As her previous roommate, I can personally attest to her time management skill, her kind personality, and her overall tenacious way of life! Anyone would be lucky to have Rachel walk, play, and watch their pups.
