Michelle was amazing to work with! We ended up having an issue with flights and had to cut our dogs stay with her short but I can tell from the time he was there how loving and attentive she is. Will book again!

Charlette is very kind and caring, she will take care of your fur baby as if it was her own. She communicates quickly and often, leaving you no doubt about the situation. I'm not sure how I could give her a higher recommendation, but if I could, I would!

Jenn and Brian were outstanding hosts for Cooper. Not only were they flexible with our times and willing to work with us, but they clearly understand dogs, owning their own dogs and having fostered dogs in the past. Jenn kept me posted on his activities and energy level, and clearly she wore him out as he's been sleeping since the moment we put him in the car 4.5 hours ago. Playing in their backyard and with their pups certainly wore our energetic 2 year old out. We highly recommend Jenn and Brian for their care with your dog.

Mindy took such great care of our Troops! This was our first long trip away in a very long time and we wish we could have brought him with us but are so happy that he had Mindy to take care of him! She updated all the time on what he was doing and we were all so excited to see all the pictures and videos! She is top-notch,highly recommended, I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else! 🐾🐾🐾

Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.

This was our first time using an app and having a stranger watch our dogs. It was the best decision we could have made or else we never would have met Kim! Kim was knowledgeable, warm and friendly to us and especially our dogs. She made us feel extremely comfortable and confident to leave our dogs with her and her family for 2 days. She retained everything we told her about the dogs, sent pictures and updates. Wonderful first experience!

Courtney was awesome! She accepted my last minute request for a weekend stay for my dog Tucker. She allowed him to come for a few hours as a dry run to make sure he did OK. He's never stayed with a sitter and he's 13. He did great so he went for the weekend. She sent me pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving Tucker with her and will definitely use her services again!

Michele was great to our boy Takh and to us as well. We had a mishap (a flat tire) on our way to pick him up, for which AAA was slow to help and Michelle was very understanding and accommodating, despite the fact that the car trouble threw a wrench in her plan for the evening. She took great care of our boy and we would recommend her to anyone and look forward to using her service again.

Tatyjana was honestly amazing l, I have never left my pup with anyone outside of my family and was so anxious hoing out of town for two weeks, but he had the absolute best time and recieved the best care! I was updated daily with pictures and my questions before and during his stay were met with quick and detailed responses. I am happy to find a new sitter for my baby and will continue to book with her!

We rebooked with Mindy for a recent trip after our experience with her last time. Our dog is a little bit neurotic & high maintenance and doesn’t like to be left alone in new places. It is so so so nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about her because Mindy takes such good care of her. My dog randomly stopped eating and Mindy figured out that if she changed her bowl she would eat. She took her for plenty of walks and gave her plenty of snuggles - our dog even gets to sleep in Mindy’s bed at night! We are so relieved to have found Mindy and would recommend her to anyone.

She did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with pictures all the time, which I really appreciated. Her dog played with mine the entire week, and they got along so well. She followed all my instructions carefully, especially since my dog has separation anxiety and needs extra care when I’m not around. She also made sure to walk her every day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely trust her again

Kim was wonderful to work with. She thoughtfully set up a short visit to watch Omi for a few hours before keeping him overnight, just to make sure he was comfortable. She sent regular updates and photos and always responded quickly. She was also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Omi was well cared for and that Kim provided a truly caring, attentive environment. Thank you for taking such great care of my little nugget!
