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!!

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!!

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.

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.
