“Max a wonderful time with Charissa, Shawn and family! Not only did they go above and beyond for my pup Max, but they also made sure to reassure me that he was well and happy so I could focus on my family trip. They were patient and helpful with planning, respectful of my wishes as a pet owner, and consistent and accommodating with my schedule. Max has new favorite pet sitters! Thanks so much all!”

“I’m so happy I found Kristin to watch my girl. She took great care of her and was extremely communicative. My dog is a very anxious girl but Kristin was patient and and kind to her. Will definitely have Kristin watch her again.”

“Betsy did a wonderful job caring for my "high-energy" dog. She took him for multiple walks per day and played with him with his toys. Betsy also sent me multiple texts and pictures of my dog during the time that she cared for him. I don't think he would have received better care with anyone else, and I will definitely contact Betsy again in the future when I need a dog sitter; she's the best! Thank you, Betsy, for treating my dog like you would your own dog! 🐶”

“Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!”

“Kaylee was AMAZING! Not only did she take great care of my pup, but she was super detailed and sweet - made him Easter egg treats 🥚💕 to take home! Kept me posted with adorable pics too. Highly recommend!”

“Every booking with Marie has been stellar! We get updates with pics throughout the day and I can see in Tanner's eyes/demeanor he is relaxed and having a great time. Not to mention the pics are fabulous and frame worthy. I love that I can book with Marie and not worry about leaving our lil guy. Our family knows he is in great, loving care!!”

“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”

“Genalind was communicative and understanding of schedule changes with the snow storm. I liked working with her, and it seemed like my dog enjoyed her time with her too!”

“Angelita is 10/10! Her care of our Boston terrier was superb. Communications around our reservation was seamless and pleasant. When our travel was delayed, Angelita was flexible with our drop off time - and pick up time. The outdoor space is perfect for pets and there were a few other puppies for Lucky to play with! We saw multiple pictures of her over the 24 hours we were away. When we picked Lucky up, Angelita even had a gift baggy for us!! She had disinfected our dogs bed and washed her bowls. You can’t ask for better than Angelita. Your pet will be in great hands.”

“Jen took excellent care of our 10 month old, high- energy Aussie! She was communicative and provided plenty of activities and exercise to keep him busy along with her two dogs that he befriended! She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We highly recommend Jen as a dog sitter and would use her services again!”

“Very thankful for Beth's flexibility! She was able to watch my dog at her house (for the second time) when I had to go on a quick work trip with only a few days notice. She also sent me pictures of my dog to let me know that my dog was having fun!”

“They were amazing, gave updates throughout the time my Rose was there. My dog is a rescue so she has anxiety issues but they cared for her needs very well. Will definitely be using them more often.”

“Jordan's care for our 3 dogs during our 3+ weeks away was nothing short of amazing. She is warm and friendly and the pups (and I) knew immediately that they were in good hands. The large fenced in area at her home was like vacation for our guys and the photos and videos she provided were enjoyable and gave us peace of mind knowing that they were having as much fun as we were. Ours was a big ask and on fairly short notice and Jordan handled it smoothly and professionally. We fully intend to book her again (if they didn't wear her out). Outstanding service.”

“What can I say!, I am so glad that I chose Stacy to care for my dogs. She treated them like if they were part of the family. She kept me updated often and sent lots of pictures! I 10/10 recommend!!”
