1. Maegan K.

“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”


2. Deanne R.

“Deanne is an excellent communicator, sending many updates and photos of our Odin. He was well looked after and happy as ever! We would definitely come back again! Thank you!!!”


3. Brigid O.

“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”


4. Vera M.


“Vera was the perfect dog sitter for our Pixel. She sent great updates and pictures throughout our trip to make us feel comfortable and show us that Pixel was having a great time. She is very thorough and asks all the right questions (even the ones that we forgot). Highly recommend Vera for all your doggy needs!”


5. Valerie B.

“Very friendly made us feel like family send pictures and videos my pup was happy”


6. Sarah & Aaron C.

“We went on vacation, my dog went on vacation. Bottom line. Sarah and Aaron (and family) took amazing care of our pupper and I'm sure she was likely a bit sad as we drove away when picking her up The peace of mind knowing she was taken care of as a full fledge (visiting) family member meant everything to us. No detail was overlooked and she was received with open arms - including an adorable welcome sign for us. We got pictures and updates the whole way through and Sarah and Aaron were super responsive and accommodating even when we made many changes to schedules/drop off pick up times. If you are looking for a situation where your dog will be taken care of and loved as their own - this place is it - you won't go wrong booking with this lovely family.”


7. Cheyenne F.

“Cheyenne watched our dog Nellie for the first time last night . Nellie seemed to love it and Cheyenne’s dogs . It was a great experience! Thank you !”


8. Candice S.

“Candice was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!! This was my first time leaving my baby boy with anyone! I was kept updated with messages and pics. Would definitely recommend and/or book with Candice again.”


9. Michelle C.
“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for my husky, Koda. Koda is 9 years old and occasionally difficult in a new environment, but appeared to make himself at home on her couches very quickly. Koda is often difficult with eating in a new environment, but Michelle had no issues feeding him (and she even cooked chicken for him). I will certainly look for Michelle’s availability when booking a sitter for Koda again. I felt very comfortable with Koda staying in her home.”


10. Jayla L.

“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”


11. Zeiydah L.

“Zeiydah is a lifesaver! She helped our family with very short notice. Zeiydah sent pictures multiple times per day to ease the anxiety of leaving our pet behind. We will use her again.”




12. Lauren Z.

“Lauren was great. She was super friendly and responsive and took great care of Chloe! Would've enjoyed a few more photos maybe, but there was no doubt our dog was being well taken care of.”


13. Lori H.

“Lori was an awesome sitter and babysat our Bernese mnt dog for four nights. She was very communicative and Duck seemed to have loved the company of Loris dog!”


14. Cheryle W.


“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”


15. Richmond B.


“Richmond was wonderful. Sent pictures throughout our 5 days away. And was quick to answer any questions. Our dog is not used to being in someone else’s home and with other dogs (1), but Richmond assured us it was a good fit and it seemed like everything went great! We will use again without hesitation.”


16. Gillian G.

“It was my first time boarding a dog, ever! They made me feel so at ease leaving my baby with them. I honestly think she didn't wanna leave. I'm so grateful for the daily updates also. I'm so happy I chose them.”


17. Emily Z.


“A last minute request and Emily was responsive and flexible! Really saved our weekend plans! She gives multiples updates with his walks and pictures showing him having a great stay. Can’t recommend Emily enough!”




18. Kyle W.

“This was our first time booking with Kyle, and she was great! Our pup can be rather anxious initially when going somewhere new, but she relaxed very quickly with Kyle. Kyle was always responsive and reassuring, and sent lots of photo updates. Traveling is hard for me because I hate being away from my "kids", but I was able to relax and enjoy my scheduled time away because of Kyle. Ripley can't wait to book again!”


19. John D.

“I was really nervous to leave my puppies with John because of their fear of strangers, but John made them feel comfortable right away. On the second day, I received pictures of John snuggling with my timid pups. They were well taken care of and I felt reassured that they were in good hands. We will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend! We give an eight paw rating!”


20. Annette K.
“I was so impressed with Annette. She looked after my dog for 2 full weeks and I was always at ease. She is capable, communicative, and very kind. I will trust her on repeat visits. Top marks!”
