Melanie was an amazing pet sitter, and I am so happy that I found her. She gave me daily updates with either photos or videos, and my dogs were in great hands the whole time I was gone. I was at peace knowing that they were with her. She is the best.

Mary was so accommodating with our nervous pup. We were traveling from out of town - she was very flexible and sent us updates and photos. I wish we lived nearby so our dog could stay with her again!

Robert did an excellent job taking care of our dog that by the time I went to pick him up, he decided that he wants to continue to starly on the couch with his friend. I had to coax off the couch so that we could get going home since it was late when I picked up him. I would recommend him for anyone who needs their furrikids to be taken care in there absence.

About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama ,I always made sure to care for and find homes for them while also having our own, I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother. We have a large backyard fenced, covered& partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. I’ve watched big dogs & small dogs although starting off with this app I’m looking to watch small dogs. I take my oldest son to library, we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips, I’m at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom other than eating.

Christina watched our very anxious dog at the last minute over the holidays. Christina went above and beyond for us and our dog. He was happy and playful at her house and felt right at home immediately. She spoiled him with lots of toys and healthy home cooked meals. We will be booking again!

I'm so thankful to have found such a kind and loving family to watch our dog, Eevee, while we were out of town. They cared for her like she was one of their own pets. She got lots of exercise and had fun with them in their nice backyard and in the park right by their house! Thank you for the daily videos, pictures and updates. It really put my mind at ease knowing she was so happy. We will definitely will rebook with them again in the future!

Jennifer was an absolutely amazing boarder for our cat Myko! ?‍⬛ We have never had to do a long term board before, and never had someone had to keep him at their house with other cats before. Jennifer sent daily messages about Myko and we always knew how he was doing. She was responsive when he needed time away from the other cats (but surprisingly, it was usually the other cats who wanted space from him- haha!), and honest about how he was settling in, which we really appreciated. She ended up keeping him for us for 6 weeks, and we never had to worry about him throughout that time. We also never knew how he’d do with other cats, since we only have a dog, and it was great to know that he enjoyed chasing and snuggling up with other cats. We would definitely recommend Jennifer to our friends or anyone else looking for good cat care. Thank you so much for making what has been a stressful time for us personally so much less so, knowing our little guy was in good hands!

Cynthia and Robert were awesome! Very communicative and able to help on short notice. They went out of their way to make sure my JoJo was comfortable and welcomed him like one of their own fur babies. Would definitely recommend and plan to use their boarding services again in the future!
