“Mike was great with our girls!! He sent us daily updates and video's and loved on Maddie and Daisy and really made them feel at home and gave us a peace of mind as we were traveling in another state. We will for sure use Mike again and our girls will love another visit!!!”
“This was our first time having our newly adopted boys stay with a sitter while we were away from a wedding. We are so thankful we came across Karen’s profile because she turned out to be the perfect match! Karen and her family provided lots of love to our dogs, sent many photos of their time together, and she was very responsive and thorough in all of her communications. Our boys came very happy and so did we! We will be looking for Karen again in the future and we highly encourage others to do the same!”
“Jennifer was amazing!!! She took such precious care of our Mayo buddy! She responded so quickly, allowed for last minute booking, and sent updates the entire time! Mayo loved playing with the Corgis! He never gets to play with dogs his size so he loved that! They had lots of sunshine and outdoor time! We will use Jennifer again!”
“Lauren was wonderful. I had a last minute trip change and needed to find a sitter quickly. Lauren agreed to care for my dog without having met her. She sent daily check ins and I felt very comfortable. Her home was beautiful and her pack of pups were sweet. I 100% highly recommend Lauren and absolutely plan to use her in the future!!”
“John and Teri did a fantastic job caring for our dog. They are great communicators and we know our dog was well loved while he was staying with them. We would not hesitate to book again and highly recommend to anyone considering!”
“Kirsten is a warm, lovely person who gave us great updates and excellent care for our dogs while we were out of town! They loved to play with her dog in the backyard!”
“Joanna and Brian did an awesome job with my pup. I appreciated the updates along with pictures they sent me of my dog smokey while I was away. The next time I need a pet sitter I will not hesitate to call on them again.”
“Suki's first time with Lisa could not have been better! Lisa and her family were flexible and accommodating of our evolving schedule and took extra time to meet with us the day before to get everyone comfortable. Suki seemed right at home and was a very happy pup when we picked her up. We look forward to working with Lisa again!”
“Tricia took such amazing care of our golden retriever! She was flexible, attentive, and very great with communication. We received daily messages and pictures keeping us updated on how things were going. This was our first time “boarding” our dog and we are SO grateful we found Tricia and her amazing family to care for sweet Lady. Our dog had a little vacation of her own while we were away. We felt completely comfortable the whole time with no worries whatsoever! So grateful 🩷”
“James and Jennifer were great! I felt confident leaving my cat and dog with them. My shy dog even warmed up to James after a short time. They were super responsive and communicative. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Steffanie and her family did a great job with our Bailey! Bailey can get stressed out in new places, so I really appreciate how well they did making her feel at home. I would definitely recommend her and would contact her again. Thanks, Steffanie!”
“Sarah and Richard were great! They were very accommodating of our thunder-anxious dog and flexible with pick up and drop off. And they sent a video in addition to photos!”
“Caleb took good care of our boy Blue. He introduced him to the other dogs but made sure Blue, who is not big on playing with other dogs, had time to himself and felt safe. Caleb messaged daily to let us know things were going well and sent pictures and video. I would choose Caleb as a pet sitter again in the future..”
“We needed to board our dog on short notice. On a Saturday night, while on vacation, Kelsey and Jordan responded to my inquiry, got the additional information they needed and agreed to board our dog. During Pearl's stay, Kelsey sent regular updates and photos; it was abundantly clear that Pearl was having a good time and that Kelsey and Jordan were providing wonderful care.”
“Jenny and Mark took excellent care of our dog over 2 weeks. Communication was easy and we received regular updates. I would definitely have them dog sit again!”
“Kristen and her family helped us out over a weekend. Her young girls have a lot of energy but she kept and eye on our Leo to be sure they were good with him. He sleeps a lot and they let him do that. All evidence was that Leo was cared for.”
“Teresa, Mike, and family took great care of our 2yr old dog, and we are very grateful. Lots of fun playtime with their dog and we appreciated the updates on how the stay was going. Thank you, Teresa and Mike!”
