“Lauren was an amazing dog sitter for my chocolate lab. I had to go to New York for two days and Lauren made sure spicer had the time of his life going to the beach, playing with her dog, and sending me lots of pictures. Would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

4. Erica & Thomas C.
“I dropped off my 11 month old, highly energetic, golden doodle for her first time away from home with some trepidation. She instantly became part of the family and made new puppy friends too! Frequent updates put my mind at ease. I think she's a bit bored now she's home!”
5. Mary Jo M.
“Our dog was well taken care of by Mary Jo. He stayed with Mary Jo and her family for two separate stays in December and my pup came home content and happy.”
6. Laura C.
“Just returned from a 6 day vacation during which time Laura took care of my 3 dogs including a very rambunctious young puppy. I was so grateful that she would take my new pack member (the puppy )which was not originally planned . I can only give a glowing and appreciative recommendation of Laura to care for your pets. I hope to use her again in the future.”

10. Julius G.
“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”
11. Kelcie A.
“I highly recommend Kelcie! My dog was so relaxed when I picked him up and I could tell he enjoyed his stay with Kelcie and her dogs. Kelcie has a lovely comfortable and clean home with plenty of sunshine and great outdoor area for the dogs. Kelcie sent me pictures every day and included a doggy report card at the end of his visit, so cute and a great idea. Kelcie’s warmth with dogs and owners is genuine and professional. I will be back! 🐶”

13. Britanny B.
“Brianny has watched our German Shepherd a number of times when we have been out of town for a number of days. She is kind, attentive, and responsible. She cared for our dog as if it was her own. She asked all the proper questions to make sure that our dog was cared for and she knew his needs. She arranged for exercise, play, and attention for him and treated him with love and concern. I would recommend her without hesitation for anyone who who is looking for her help with pet care.”

16. Sara G.
“Sara has looked after my 3 year old miniature Schnauzer; Cleo, many times over the past few years and I couldn't be more impressed with the exceptional care Cleo always receives. Sara is so professional, communicative and shows a genuine love for animals. She took the time to understand Cleo's needs and provided personalized attention that immediately put me at ease. Throughout my time away, Sara keeps me well-informed with regular updates, including photos. Upon my return, Cleo is always happy and Sara leaves my flat in impeccable condition. Cleo is always so excited to see Sara which just shows what a great time they have together. Highly recommend Sara as a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.”

18. Melisa M.
“Melissa was great with our Elderly Zoey dog! Her fenced in yard gave and her past experience as a vet tech gave us peace of mind while we were away for 7 days. We got pictures every day and she communicated well. Zoey was in great shape when we picked her up. She certainly made my girl comfortable!! I definitely recommend Melissa. Thank you Melissa!!!”
