1. Ashley D.
“Ashley took such great care of our 15 week old golden retriever puppy. Beacon is still young with high energy and had never been left at home for a full day. This was our first time leaving her for that long and Ashley went above and beyond to make sure she got to play outside when she was there so Beacon was more comfortable in her crate, which I appreciated so very much! She also took many pictures and gave us updates with both of her visits which made me feel so comfortable and reassured while I was gone. She provided multiple meals, snacks, water, play time, and many potty breaks. She took such great care of Beacon and we are so thankful!”
2. Brenna L.
“Brenna was fantastic with our pups and we would love to use her again in the future. She came to assist with potty breaks the day after one of our pups had knee surgery. She was gentle, patient, and caring with both dogs and was a tremendous help to us. Our dogs loved her and I would highly recommend hiring her for your pup’s needs!”
3. Kim B.
“Kim has done drop in visits for our dog a couple times now and has always done a fantastic job! Our dogs have a somewhat involved routine and Kim has been on top of it! We highly recommend her!”
4. Meg B.
“Meg has checked in on my almost 4 month old Boxer puppy, Tide, a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say. She has been on time and provides thorough details about each visit. I love that I don’t have to worry about leaving Tide alone all day and it’s great not coming home to any accidents. Meg is very sweet and knows what she’s doing, I definitely recommend her services.”

11. Keeley N.
“So happy to have booked Keeley when we found ourselves needing a pet sitter last minute over the holidays. We expressed our concerns about leaving our two cats as they have experienced stress over having someone in the house who they didn't know very well. We worked with Keeley to adjust their schedules to ease their anxiety. She communicated very well each day about how the cats were doing, which made our entire family happy to have her there. We will be using Keeley again for our next vacation!”
12. Kristen N.
“Kristen is so awesome with my dog Jake. He is a german shepherd and he loves when she visits. She has stayed overnight at my house to watch him when I have been on out of town trips. She is so loving towards him and took him on walks and played ball with him. She is the first person I ask to watch Jake when I need.”
