“My Bernese Mountain Dog, Annie, stayed with Catrina for a week! I was very happy with the care she received. I received photos & updates on Annie almost every day. She went for walks, played outside in their fenced back yard and was a happy girl!”

“Connie was wonderful with our kitty Expresso. It was a worry free experience. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages. I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs. Highly recommend!”

“My dog had so much fun with Shelby. He has a lot of energy and she managed to tire him out every day. She communicated well and sent lots of great pictures. We got delayed on our way back and she held on to him for longer than planned. I will definitely book with her in the future when I have the need.”

“Dave and Daniel were wonderful with our Pomeranian Skyla. She’s animated and spirited, some might say a strong personality. She often, perhaps too often, wants her own way, but apparently Dave and Daniel were able to deal with this, and all parties seemed to have a great experience. What we do know for sure is that our little girl came home healthy and happy. What more can you ask for? We couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be bringing her back to her home away from home.”


“Diana was very pleasant to work with. She took care of Rhaegar for 2 days. We did a meet and greet prior to me dropping off my pup. I really like her set up where she has a fenced yard and plenty of space for pups to run around. She sent me pictures of Rhaegar everyday which was great! I would definitely book with Diana in the future. She is great with pups!”

“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”

“Jennifer did amazing at supporting me and my Koda; not long after his surgery, she was able to watch him while I worked, which was a major relief to me. Jennifer did everything she could to meet his needs, such as monitoring his surgical site, watching for post-surgery behaviors, and administering medications. I never worry when my pup is with her because she always updates me with pictures, and I have full trust in her abilities to give Koda lots of love when I can’t.”


“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”

“Allison and her family were wonderful! We got morning and evening updates each day.🐾 It was evident our dogs were well cared for while we were away. We have a heeler who can have a hard time adjusting to new environments but Allison knew exactly how to handle her. Allison was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to use her again in the near future! 🐶”

“Elizabeth was par excellence!!! We are super impressed with her and the care she gave to Dexter. We definitely will be working with her in future. Thank you very much. Michael/Evelyn”

“Julie did a fantastic job. I got updates every day. My pup came back home and fell asleep hard right in the middle of the living room instead of his bed,which he never does. I know he had a great time because the pictures I got every day tell me his vacation was as great as mine was. Thanks again Julie,we'll see you again later in the summer.”

“Madison took great care of my little senior. She provided me updates and pictures. My girl was as perfect when I picked her up as she was when I dropped her off. Would recommend!”


“Tracy did a wonderful job watching our dog for the day right have she had unexpected surgery. We had a large social event already planned at our house and found ourselves needing to find a solution to keep "our girl" calm, safe and monitored for the day. Tracy was a wonderful solution to our need!”

“Upon arrival, Joseph greeted my dog and showed an interest in her. Because this was our dog’s first time with him, I appreciated that he inquired if she is food aggressive and if she enjoys playing fetch. My request for photos was honored along with a brief narrative update. Joseph was quick to respond to my messages. I feel comfortable with having my dog stay with Joseph again. 🐾”

“Hailey and her family were wonderful with our dog, Porter. He does much better in a home environment and they treated him like part of the family. 😀 We will definitely be booking again!”

“Mason was very friendly and responsive! She took good care of our sweet girl Ziggy for a few days. I know Ziggy had alot of fun hanging out and playing with the other dogs, she came home happy and relaxed! 😊”

My dog had so much fun with Shelby. He has a lot of energy and she managed to tire him out every day. She communicated well and sent lots of great pictures. We got delayed on our way back and she held on to him for longer than planned. I will definitely book with her in the future when I have the need.

Ben’s stay at Steve’s home went very well. Seems he adjusted nicely and when I came to get him he wasn’t overly anxious to leave and continued to play with Steve as we discussed how it went in my absence. I would definitely ask Steve and Jackson to dog sit again. They were very gracious. Thank you for taking care of Ben.
