1. Virginia & Steven W.
“I am so happy to find Virginia and her people and fur family. My previous sitter moved to California. Louie has anxiety separation issues and likes lots of attention. Virginia and her family gave Louie all the love and attention he needed. Virginia communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures. I was in a hurry when coming home and Virginia had Louie all packed up and ready for me to pick up. I am so relieved to find Virginia.”
2. Felice & Ken & Tyler & Morgan T.
“Had to go out of town for the weekend and left my little dog with Felice and Tyler. They have a nice fenced yard and dog friendly house which is great. You can tell they love dogs and are very knowledgeable about them. My dog, Sophie, is not used to being around other dogs so I was worried she would not fit in, but it was unfounded. We had a meet and great a couple weeks beforehand so she met their dog and sniffed around the backyard. I got periodic updates and photos, which was reassuring. I will definitely take her there in the future.”
3. Liz & Jeffrey C.
“I’m so glad I found Liz and Jeffrey to board my dog for an extended weekend. Their years of experience in caring for dogs was clearly evident at drop off, which immediately put me at ease! Thank you and your family for loving on her so well.”
4. Morgan J.
“Thank you, Morgan! Our two dogs had a wonderful week-long stay with her. There were plenty of friends to play with and they even learned how to walk on a treadmill! Morgan gave plenty of love and attention to our boys. Let’s not forget to mention she’s a pro at portrait mode and sending cute pictures and videos. Honestly can’t say enough good things about their stay with Morgan - we’ll be requesting her again in the future!”
5. Kelly H.
“As always, Kelly and her family were amazing. They took care of our Leo as their own and updated us several times a day with photos and notes. We were so thankful that Leo was in good hands during our out of country trip.”
6. Theresa C.
“Theresa and Lyv were the absolute best watching our baby Misa for the week. Theresa sent so many pictures and updates throughout the week and I could tell Misa was having such a great time with them. She loved curling in bed with Lyv and being the diva that she is! It was really good to be able to relax while away knowing she was in good hands. Last minute, Misa had a skin flare up the weekend before we dropped her off and Theresa was able to medicate her and keep a watchful eye so she was all better by the time we picked her up. Can’t say enough good things about Theresa, will 100% use her again when we need a sitter!”
7. Brittanie & Ryan C.
“Our dog had the best time. Brittanie & Ryan sent us daily photos and updates. They took wonderful care of our dog. We will be using them again for boarding and for walking. So comforting to know our “baby” is in good hands.”
8. Briyonna E.
“Briyonna was super responsive and easy to work with! She took great care of my cat and kept me updated daily. I would definitely work with her again!”
9. Shruti D.
“Shruti did an amazing job with Prince! She treated him just like her own dog. He was well cared for and loved. She sent nice pictures while I was away. I don’t think Prince missed me at all; he was so happy with Shruti.”
10. Ashley P.
“Amazing! So accommodating and kind as I kept changing the drop off and pick up times due to driving from New York. Got great pictures and my pup was so happy when I picked her up! 10/10 would recommend again!”
11. Virginia O.
“Virginia has been a wonderful host for our Swiss doddle, Milo!! He is happy to be dropped off and very well taken care of while we are gone!”
12. Makaela F.
“Excellent communication and care. I felt safe leaving my two cats with her for the night. She made sure to send a check in message and pictures. She even sent them home with some of their favorite treats!”
13. Ashante M.
“Ashante did an amazing job with our senior dog. She helped us out in a pinch and we were able to feel very comfortable our entire trip. She kept us updated about our dog. We will definitely be requesting her to help us in the future if she's available.”
14. Priscilla H.
“Priscilla did a fantastic job watching my senior dog. I had been pretty anxious, as apart from being older, my dog had developed cataracts and lost almost all vision. I knew he couldn't be watched by just anyone, and I wanted to make sure he was both safe and happy while I was away. Priscilla put me at ease from her first message, and indeed, the meet and greet, drop off, communication, and pick up all went perfectly. I'm probably going to plan future travel around when she has availability on her calendar! Thanks again so much Priscilla.”
15. Casey R.
“Casey took great care of Sky. This was the first time Sky was not able to travel with us; Sky looked very comfortable with Casey and she send us several pics. Casey was awesome.”
16. Gloria F.
“Drop off and pick up were on time and easy. I think my Roxy actually missed the little Roxy after she left :) When I picked her up, she was happy and her normal self. Gloria has a great space in the backyard for the dogs too. I will be using Gloria again to watch Roxy soon!”
17. Lindsay G.
“Lindsay was such a pleasure! She took excellent care of my furry girl, kept me updated the whole while with accompanying pictures, and made me feel at ease while away!”
18. Bianca & Diego D.
“Bianca took wonderful care of my dog, Oreo, while I was away. She was very attentive and provided regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. Bianca is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic sitter.”
19. Drew E.
“Dog came back well behaved he did an amazing job watching my chocolate lab who has comes of energy. Gave me great advice and feedback on how to handle my dog. Professional and he knows what he’s doing”
20. Sarah H.
“Sarah was so awesome with my senior pup on a recent stay. She was very responsive and flexible, asked all the right questions, and sent regular updates during the stay. Finding someone to partner with for your furry family can feel hit or miss sometimes. I’m so glad I was able to connect with Sarah and won’t think twice about reaching out to her again!!”
