Nyree was terrific with Trixie and sent me lots of cute pictures of walks by the beach and in various parks. I will definitely bring my dog back.

Jennifer and her family took good care of our little Jax. She sent pictures with updates during his stay. He seemed very happy and relaxed with them. We are glad we found someone who not only can take care of him but also cares about his well being.

Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.

Missey was an absolutely fantastic host! We left our 6 year old Dachshund, Cole, over at Missey's for 4 days and he had a blast. Once I had my meet & greet with Missey, I felt as though Cole was in great hands. We received daily picture updates and Youtube videos of Cole throughout his stay which really put our mind at east. Once we had agreed to have Cole stay with Missey, she went out of her way to make sure that he felt at home - including calling another one of her friends that had a 1 year old Doxie so that he could come over and play with Cole. When my wife went to pick him up, he seemed happy to see us, but sad to leave Missey. Knowing Cole, that is the highest form of a compliment he can give any human. I would highly recommend Missy to anyone that is looking to have a dog sitter with a great love for dogs and an incredible amount of patience.

Margaret was a great care taker to our senior dog. She kept us up to date with videos and pictures and was very responsive when we had questions. Would gladly reach out to her again should we need to leave our sweet pup. We know he'll be in good hands.

Juliana is such a nice lady and she treats Cooper really well. She sent me pictures once a while and Cooper seems happy in her house. She followed all the instructions I sent her due to Cooper's sensitive stomach, and Cooper ate well and slept well. I am happy to find a good Dog sitter!

I highly recommend Regina from personal experience. When you leave your fur-babies with someone it can be so nerve-wracking but I feel so comfortable, and so do my fur-babies when left with her. Regina is truly an animal lover- the pampered care of your pet is simply one thing you won’t have to worry about when you’re away!

About: I have some vet school experience. I have taken care of new born puppies up to senior dogs. I have volunteered in animal shelters for years. I have two animals, 1 cat and 1 dog. Both are rescues and very loving and friendly with other animals. I will slowly interduce your animals to mine if you choice to have me sit them. I walk my dog. Let him outside while watching him on the lead (he likes to lay in the sun). The cat has his litter box and tons of toys (as does the dog). They are both very spoiled.

Deidre is excellent as a dog sitter and overnight dog watcher. She takes a very personal approach both with the pet owner and the pet itself and has a great dog river that played with my Frankie all the time. I strongly recommend Deidre for any of the need you might have for your pet

Ryan took Duke in like he was one of his own dogs. Ryan was concerned with his eating habits and if he had any other issues that he needed to be aware of . We are very grateful and will, of course , use him again in the future. BIG thank you!!

Ellie was great with Bean. She was very communicative and asked questions upfront to make sure that Bean would be well cared for. Ellie provided multiple pictures and I could tell that my pup was having a blast with her. Thank you so much!
