Jenevieve was more than we ever expected. She and her family treated our Suzi like one of their own. Sending pics a couple times a day made us feel so good to know we made the right decision. Suzi has found her home away from home! ❤️

Oscar always has a blast with Casandra. It’s wonderful knowing that when we go on vacation Oscar gets to have a vacation as well. He is always very excited to meet new friends and get pampered.

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!

Our dog just had another great stay with Katie and her family. Katie is easy to communicate with, and understands our dog's needs and quirks. We know he is well cared for when we are away. We're so glad to have found her, and highly recommend her.

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!

I'M SO GLAD to have found Priscilla and her honey. They were so awesome I highly recommend. Priscilla did excellent with my dogs and one can be a little difficult. She is great with dogs. My dogs were comfortable right away. And I could see thru the pics and videos she would send they continued to feel right at home. Their house is beautiful and they took such good care of my babies. Will use them again.

Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!

This was our first time ever leaving our pup with anyone and Heather made it the absolute BEST experience for us! She sent lots of pictures and updates of all their fun adventures and he was in the best mood when we picked him up and he even seems to be listening better after his stay! He definitely got his own little mini vacay with Heather and her family. I would 100% recommend Heather, and we can’t wait to schedule another play date!

Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!
