Mr. Jones really, really enjoyed his stay. Nontombe kept me up to date with messages, pictures, and videos. She was consistent and informative with my dog’s extended stay. I would definitely return to her for any upcoming stays.

Halley was great! We could tell our pup had a great time. She kept us updated with pix and vids of him enjoying play time with the other dogs. She even sent him home with a new harness! We will definitely be booking again.

Veronica and her family are the best that I can ask for to take care of our dog, Kora. They did a fantastic job to help Kora come out her shell in a short time during her boarding with them. I got lots of photos and updates to see Kora got spoiled with lots of home made treats, walks, cuddles and play time. I will ask Veronica again if kora needs a sitter again!

Eileen was fantastic! As soon as we met Eileen, we knew our baby would be in good hands while we were away! She really put our minds at ease and sent us pics or a video each day while we were away. Scout was clearly having a good time while we were away and was well taken care of by Eileen!

Sandra was amazing and took a last minute in-home boarding for an emergency situation. She went above and beyond during my dog's stay, and took care of giving him several complicated medications and handled some special eating requirements. She's a total pro. Her home and yard and safe and comfortable, and I could tell he was happy to be there with her:)! Thank you SO very much, and I hope we can visit again!

We were happy with our dog’s stay with Jessica. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay. Jessica has a large, fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play. We appreciated that we could do a meet and greet before the stay- we had requested this with other sitters and were either ignored or stood up.

I was so nervous to leave my pup for the first time, but as soon as I saw Erika’s profile and reviews I knew she was the right person! She and her family took amazing care of Captain while we were on vacation and I didn’t have to worry about him at all. She gave updates and went above and beyond to make sure I knew he was safe and cared for. Communication is something that is VERY important to me and she exceeded in that aspect of keeping me updated on my pup everyday. Thank you again!! We will definitely be letting Cappy stay again in the future!

Wendy is outstanding! She was able to take my Rosie at almost literally the last minute when I needed a sitter with no other dogs. She kept me updated and sent pictures. Best of all, she walked Rosie 30 - 40 minutes at least twice a day, not including little jaunts down a few houses. Rosie is extra spoiled now! I definitely recommend Wendy and look forward to taking Rosie to see her again!

Texana is absolutely WONDERFUL! I had to find a sitter for my bf’s dog, Nova on short notice while traveling for an event and she was so great! I appreciate her taking a last minute booking! It was great that she kept me updated the whole time with texts and pictures. She’s very sweet, helpful, and communicates well! My bf and I are in agreement that there’s no doubt she’d our first choice to let her watch Nova again! We highly recommend her!

Danielle was so sweet and my dogs adored her! She sent pictures, stayed in contact the entire time and sent my dogs back home exhausted from playing. I would 100% recommend her! She took care of our dogs and showed them love just as if they’re her own.
