“Took great care of my dogs!! I left for a night and felt very good about leaving my dogs with Jessica. She was flexible and responsive and my dogs can be a little skittish with new people but loved her right away.”
“We boarded our dog Maggie with Dale while we were in town visiting a family member in the hospital. He was very flexible with us, and immediately made us feel like Maggie was in good hands, which was one less thing to worry about while we were there. He sent us many pictures throughout the day and gave us updates on how she was doing. I know she felt safe and loved while she was there because she took to Dale very quickly. If we are in Abilene again we will absolutely have Maggie stay with Dale.”
“Daisy had a great time with James & Winnie. Will definitely rebook another time. He provided photos and updates about Daisy was doing and didn’t keep her locked up like most dog sitters.”
“Danielle and her husband were both so welcoming and friendly. Our 1 year old puppy had a ball and was treated like one of the family. She sent pictures and updates frequently making us feel like we could rest easy knowing he was well cared for. We will definitely keep her in mind in the future.”
“Claude loves going to Rachel and Patrick’s house and he is treated like a member of the family. When we arrive, he’s so happy to be there, and they send wonderful photos of his stay. Rachel and Patrick take care of his daily medication, and I never worry when he’s with them. I miss him, but I know he’s not missing me!”

“My Harper had a wonderful experience staying with Terra. In addition to staying 3 nights, Terra groomed Harper (trimmed nails, a shampoo etc.). Harper smelled so good & felt so soft. No extra charge, just as a thank you for choosing her. Thank you again Terra. We love you.”
“She was amazing and very good with my anxious baby! Will definitely be booking with her everytime she kept me updated and my baby had the best time!”
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
“Jacob and Family were great. Our dog Harvey had a great time playing with the boys, and we looked forward to the daily pupdate telling us all about the fun Harvey was having. Would definitely use again.”

About: Hi, my name is Erica and I am obsessed with animals lol. Ever since I was little I have had all sorts of pets from cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and even bugs! But being a dog mama has always been my favorite 🥰 If I could have all the dogs in the world I would, but for now I have four and I love my fur babies so darn much! They are so sweet and playful with other dogs, so I thought this would be a fun way for them to have some friends around 🥰 I’m a stay at home dog mom so I’m home 24/7! Your pup will have our undivided attention at all times 😊 I might even send an obnoxious amount of pictures and videos throughout the day haha We have a clean fenced yard with lots of green grass to run around and play fetch in! We also have tons of healthy treats and home cooked dinners for the dogs or a custom meal for your pup depending what he/she likes ❤️
“Hannah was wonderful! We met at a dog park a few days before so we (and our dogs) could meet and it was obviously a good match. She took care with Kage's meds and was mindful of his arthritis. Kage got several walks every day, which he loves, and actually played with her dog, which is highly unusual! She sent updates and photos and he did really well. He is a rescue and has never been left except with my daughter, so I was reluctant to leave him especially going out of state. Hannah was wonderful with him and he seemed to enjoy his stay. I will definitely have her sit again. Thank you!”
“Our dog has anxiety issues especially when he’s away from us. Corlena did an amazing job with him. She kept me in the loop while we were away. Thank you so much!”
“Anthony watched my Italian Greyhound Rocco while I went on a weekend trip. He was very easy with communication and Rocco had a blast. He introduced him to squirrels in real life and came back happy with smiles. :-)”
“Taylor was great with communication. She sent pictures and videos”
“I booked Kirsten fairly close to Thanksgiving to watch my two dogs. I was nervous because we've only ever had in-home pet sitters and this stay would be at someone else's home. Kirsten was great. She met with the dogs for a meet and greet ahead of time so they were familiar with her when they were dropped off. Over the course of 7 days, I received pictures four of those days. I would have liked to hear how Thanksgiving went since this stay was over the Thanksgiving holiday but they are dogs, so I can't ding Kirsten for not spending any additional time to send me pictures during the holiday. The dogs made it back with all of their eyes, appendages, and were well fed. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize Kirsten's services again.”
“Carin is a great sitter. She is very responsive and sent us pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend and will definitely book again. Thank you!!”
“Jeremy was amazing with my sweet Benji. He carved a space into his home and family where Benji fit right in! Jeremy kept me well updated and as a dog mom who has had to be away from her son the past few months, his updates illuminated my days. Thank you so much, Jeremy!!”

I had a great experience with James! He took excellent care of my dogs and kept me updated throughout the stay. My pups came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again in the future!
Erin was absolutely amazing with our dog Skye while we were on a week-long cruise. From the moment we dropped Skye off, we knew she was in great hands. Erin kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear that Skye was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. When we came home, she was her normal, playful self—which says everything about the love and attention Erin gave her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust like Erin. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
