“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“Thank you to Heather and her family for providing a fun family environment for my 2 boys while we were out of state on vacation. Like some other reviewers, I was a bit disappointed at the lack of communication and pictures/updates through out the dogs stay, but they came home happy and healthy and ready for a solid nap so it seems like they had a good time and were well taken care of! I appreciate Heather being flexible and willing to accommodate med administrations when my dogs had to go on some medication right before our trip. I would absolutely use Heathers services again the next time we go where the dogs can't. Thank you again 🥰”
“Suzanne did such a great job keeping us informed on Mabel-daily pictures and updates! She even had a doggy birthday cake for her. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs”
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”
“My anxious dog loves spending the night with Kim. She’s always excited when we get there and I can leave knowing she’s happy and in good hands. So happy to have a great sitter!”
“Our plans had changed and Alina provided a day of booking for a week's vacation. My dog, a doodle named Dani, had a blast all week! Tail was high in every photo! Sooooo grateful for Alina and the care she gave my furbaby, we will definitely use her again next year!”
“Rebecca was amazing! She allowed us to settle our dogs in and that’s when I knew they would be happy and cared for like we do. She sent us regular updates (video and photo) we felt very comfortable. It was our dogs first night outside of our home and she made it stress free, would highly recommend Rebecca and we would definitely reach out again.”
“Katie, is fantastic I receive updates and photos of my animals through out the time I was away. Plus she always, speaks with me regarding how they did while there. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel secure in the person watching their babies. PS Daisy and Boy love Katie”
“Charles took great care of Gus for the night. Was very responsive when I reached out. He took Gus on a nice sniffing adventure and let Gus cuddle with him all night. next time I am in the area I will definitely be reaching out again.”
“We had an amazing experience with Andrea watching our dog Royce while we were away visiting family in New Jersey. From the very start, she was incredibly responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with! She sent us daily updates and plenty of adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Both Andrea and her husband were so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Royce clearly felt right at home with them! He was so happy and smiling in photos, and was happy when he came home! I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would love to have her watch Royce again in the future!”
“Our dog Moxie had a great time on his weekend away at Briana’s! She made us feel very comfortable, making sure Moxie met her dogs in a neutral location first. She kept him safe and active all weekend, and sent us pictures and videos throughout. We are so happy with our choice and would definitely look to work with her again!”
“Sadie and her husband took great care of our dog, Millie! She sent me many pictures of Millie making herself right at home in their home! Even texted me to ask if she could take her to the dog park. Millie loved her pups as well and we'll definitely be using Sadie again if we go away!”
“Lynda was a lucky find. She loves dogs, and has one of her own, so she only takes in one additional dog. She took excellent care of Gypsy. During our trip, she sent us several pictures of her dog with ours, and a short video of the two dogs playing together. We will definitely use her again when next we travel. And I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a kind, compassionate and expert dog-sitter. Thank you, Lynda!”
“It's been 2 years since Moxie stayed with Brittanyerin. When we picked her up she was happy to see us, of course, but calm and not at all stressed. This is the only place where we'll board our dog!”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“Faustine took good care of our dog and we enjoyed the photo updates she was sending us! We also appreciated how quickly she responded to our messages and addressed any questions we had. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”
