“Thank you Matthew! Butter looked so happy in all the pictures you sent. He came home relaxed and well cared for. We appreciate it and will rebook with Matthew next time we head out of town.”
“Matthew and his wife went above and beyond! They sent a ton of photos and videos. They took my dog swim and on a trail walk and played for a ton of time outside. They even gave him a bath before pick up. Would definitely recommend!”
“Allison was great with my three furbabies. They were well feed and received so much love from her and her family. Thank you for taking care of them. She was super flexible and very kind.”
“Stefanie is super nice, has the perfect set-up for dogs and great with communication. We received daily updates and photos. We would definitely recommend her services if you have dogs that need love & attention while you're away.”
“Absolutely amazing, Monica was very responsive, she sent photos, she definitely knew exactly what she was doing!!! She managed to make a good experience out of a tough day for my cat. I will never not appreciate how much love and comfort she provided for my fur baby.”
“I am so thankful Michelle, Sheila, and their family excepted my pup into their home. They will all treat your little love as their own, and send plenty of photo updates. I can tell Kero was comfortable and loved on and he even had dog buddies to play with during his stay! Overall I am very happy and would love to book again in the future so he can see all of his new friends again. Thank you guys so much”
“Stefi took great care of my dog, was accommodating of her raw diet, sent pictures, and gave regular updates. She was communicative and very flexible when my trip was unexpectedly extended and even worked with my later pickup time. The only thing I’d suggest is confirming any requirements (like rabies certificates) earlier in the process to avoid last-minute stress. Overall, very very thankful for her help and would book again.”
“My dogs were not well socialized other than to each other and Patricia was amazing in acclimating them to her household with many other dogs. She gave frequent updates and pictures and videos. It was a great visit and we will be sending them back soon!”
“I highly recommend Johanny. She send me videos/photos of my two doggies everyday, sometimes multiple times and they were enjoying every minute. Definitely I will rebook with her.”
“Thank you for taking good care of Summer! She was happy and healthy when I returned from my cruise. I appreciated the communication, pictures, and attention to her raw food diet. Highly recommend your pet-sitting services!”
“Scott was incredible with Mocha. My family was away on vacation when a huge storm washed away the local highway. Scott brought his family and our Mocha to safety until it was safe to return. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was in a kennel with 30 other dogs and that happened!! Scott also sent us pictures every day and we could see she was very relaxed and happy to be there. Thank You Scott!!”
“My dog, Rosa, stayed with Doug and his family for a long weekend. I could not be happier with her care. Doug sent daily pictures and updates on her stay and the best part was she didn’t come home depressed, as she would have from being boarded at the kennel. Will definitely book again. Thank you Doug!”
“Our 6 year old pup seemed to have a great time with Kevin & Natalie. He was very comfortable and happy to be with them. Great experience overall. Definitely recommended and would not hesitate to leave Rocky with them again”
“Ollie, our springer, had a great time at Rebecca’s. She made sure to send updates. She took care not to over exert him in the hot weather, while making sure he had fun and friends.”
