“Once again Dana took excellent care of our Australian Shepherd! She’s our #1 go to on Rover! She provides so many updates, takes him on long walks every morning, lets him go on errands with her, and truly treats him as her own. I just know that it’s bittersweet for our pup to come home and lose so much 1 on 1 attention haha. Highly recommend!”

“Jocelin took great care of my puppy Rocky and was flexible with with schedule changes. She sent pics and videos which eased my mind since it was Rockys first time with her. I highly recommend her and would book again.”

“Magda and Chris were amazing. So kind and caring with Mogi. Magda sent me regular check ins that showed how comfortable Mogi was with them. It was great knowing that Mogi was safe and happy during my weekend away.”

“My Pup felt right at home and probably got more attention than she ever gets at home. Tara and her family spoiled her with love. Their backyard was a dream for my ball obsessed pup. Tara is great about sending pictures and checking in.”

“Heather was great. She was so intentional about getting to know me and my dog. She seems knowledgeable and actually happy to be spending time with Peabody while I'm away. I think he's likely happier with her and the huge amount of love she's covering him with than me on a daily basis. ????”

“Snoopy just returned from another successful stay with Rachel and her family. This time he was in the company of several other beagles! Rachel’s home is always so warm and welcoming. She is a great home away from home for Snoopy!”
“Lakeshia was so loving and kind to our older dog. Winter wasn't feeling well with an upset tummy, Lakeshia went above and beyond with making her vet approved food and kept us posted on her progress regularly while we headed home from out of state. I truly appreciated all of her kindness.”

“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”


“Our Dolly girl loves visiting Courtney & we feel she’s an OUTSTANDING Pet Mom for Dolly during time away from home. Courtney keeps us informed daily with a photo and note of activity, and Courtney’s home & outdoor area are very clean and. Accommodating for Dolly’s playtime & nap activities. Once we arrive at Courtney’s home, Dolly begins to play and settles in quickly. We have changed/modified our vacation plans based on Courtney’s availability.”


“Leslie was awesome! She had Trapper for day care and kept him busy playing ball which he LOVES, and took him for a walk. He really enjoyed running around her backyard which is perfect for the dogs to run and play! She sent a lot of pictures and videos to let us know what our boy was up to. We are already planning our next booking!”

“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with. We did an initial visit then she agreed to watch on the spot. April, her dog, is amazing as well. We will definitely go with her again!”

“Andrea and family were so great with my dog. Roxy is a little neurotic but they treated her like a member of their family and took such good care of her! I definitely recommend them and will use them again when I go out of town!”

“Nathan was great! He was super fast with all communications, super accommodating, and accepted a sort of last minute request to board our dog over Thanksgiving! He even kept him longer than scheduled because of a time conflict that came up. 100% will book again in the future!”

“We could not be happier with the care Janna provided for our sweet Ruby! Ruby is a 6-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, and leaving her with someone new can be nerve-wracking, but Janna made us feel completely comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. Janna and her entire family welcomed Ruby with so much love, kindness, and attention. Her son was especially sweet and spent time playing with Ruby, which she absolutely loved. It was clear that Ruby was treated like part of the family during her stay. Janna kept us updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Ruby was. The communication was excellent, and we truly appreciated the updates. We are incredibly grateful for the loving care Ruby received and would highly recommend Janna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you, Janna, for taking such wonderful care of our furry baby girl!”
