“I cannot express enough how amazing Elizabeth was for my two babies. I had to go out of state for a week and this was the first time I needed to find someone to watch both my girls. She sent at least 3 updates everyday with pictures and or videos of them playing. I can’t wait to have her as their permanent dog sitter ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Highly highly highly recommend!!!! First time leaving my big boy for a week . And my worries were put to ease with this great family! Always gave me updates and photos ! Very accommodating with my unpredictable schedule , gave my boy all his meds as requested , Bruno definitely was in good hands! Thank you again !!”
“Heather and her family greeted our dogs with loving, open arms. They have a lovely home with a farm which allowed the dogs to be entertained from their playpen with chickens and ducks. Our dogs are completely happy with no problems while they were visiting Heather and Family. Heather is great at communication and gets back to you right away. We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”

“Mandeep K & family were so good to Mia. We were so grateful & relived to know Mia was well taken care of while we were on our trip. Our return pickup time was delayed about an hour due to a flight luggage issue but Mandeep K was patient & understanding, had Mia ready to go when we arrived”

“Oh my god! The absolute best I’ve seen yet! Raven was well taken care of and Ryan often sent pictures of Raven! We were on a last minute trip, and Ryan saved us by picking up and dropping off Raven! What a great family and just took the upmost care of Raven! Ryan and his family are hands down the GREATEST!!”
“Victoria is great - from the moment we met her it was clear she is a dog lover! She really took the time to learn about our dog and understand her routine. Victoria went above and beyond to keep our dog happy and relaxed! We took comfort in knowing she would be taken care of extremely well.”
“They did a great job with our two dogs (Boston terrier [age 1], King Charles [age 5]). Constant communication with pictures and a nice sized, fully fenced back yard.”
“Our dogs love their time at Katie’s! They are so well taken care of and we are kept so well informed of their stay. Our dogs love that Katie has such an expansive fenced in yard to play in all day! Katie is so responsive and accommodating.”
“Vasumathy is such a loving and knowledgeable dog sitter. She took care of our golden doodle for the weekend and she was absolutely fabulous about all the aspects of dogcare. She also gave us great insights about dogfood and some great tips. When I met gattu on Sunday afternoon for pick ups, he was calm and content which showed that he was safe and was in good hands. We will definitely use Vasumathy again for our future vacations!”
“Jodi is a great sitter and our dog Zoe had a wonderful time playing in the yard with her dogs and cuddling on the couch with Jodi and her family. Jodi took Zoe last minute and made it very easy for us to set up a quick meet and greet and drop off/pick up. She kept a close eye on Zoe’s arthritic hip and applied antibiotics to a cut on her paw. Zoe came home happy and healthy!”
“Carrie is an excellent communicator and very thoughtful. We got daily pics of our girls that made us laugh and feel happy for them that they were at camp Carrie. She clearly loves animals and takes great care of them.”
“I highly recommend Bex!! She was so great with my dog Nora. She was very easy to communicate with and kept me updated during my dogs stay. Nora had a blast and I brought home a nice and tired pup.”
“Our dog seemed to fall in love with Kevin. We also think he came home with better manners than we left him! Kevin had good communication with us both in arranging the care and while we were away. We definitely hope to leave our dog with Kevin in the future.”
“Korine and Matt were so kind and thoughtful and took amazing care of Evie! Evie can have a bit of a hard time warming up to people, but she fell in love with them so quickly! They are my first choice when coming back to visit the area! I can't thank them enough!!!!”
