“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”


“She is the best dog sitter. This was the first time me and boyfriend have gone away from our dog for my parents family vacation. We have not had our dog Buster for more than like 5 months and he suffers from really bad anxiety. We had him with a friend and it wasn’t working out so I found Sharon on this app and she replied right away! She not only drove, I would say at least 40+ minutes or more to go pick him up from our friend’s house since we had already left for vacation but she sent very detailed updates every day. She took him on walks and even played calming music in order to help with the anxiety. Her dog that she has had for many years got along with Buster very well and kept him company. I will definitely be using her again and I am so thankful for everything she did while watching Buster when we were gone!”


“This was my second time using Heather’s boarding service and as Always, it was a great time to know my boy is safe and having fun with her and her dog Remi! I’ll continue to use her services anytime I’m traveling out here! She is a wonderful woman who is for sure an animal lover and a great caretaker. She sends updates and pictures of how they are all doing! If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further. She is the one to use”


“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”


“Stephanie was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures while I was gone over the holiday weekend. Piper was definitely so happy to be there and excited to meet all the other dogs. Stephanie even helped keep the other dogs away from her since she’s such a slow eater. We will definitely be back!!!”


“Ebony was great with my girl Stella! She made her feel at home. Ebony sent me daily pics of Stella curled up next to her. I truly felt that Ebony and her family were great with Stella. I would absolutely leave Stella with her again! Thank you for being so amazing with Stella!”


“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”



“Rachel had watched one or more of my dogs 4 times now. Most recently, my bratty 2 year old Rottweiler. Rachel and partner were great from the beginning! No fear of my dog, didn’t rush her, even informed me some things that I didn’t know. Rachel always sends pictures throughout. My baby had such a good time and was worn out at pick-up.”


“Riley had a great time and Mariah did a great job of keeping me updated with information and pictures and videos. I felt safe and secure leaving him there, knowing that he would be well cared for, and he was! Would absolutely recommend and use again.”


“Crystal was an amazing pet sitter!!!! Crystal’s home was very clean, she was professional and a very sweet family. The whole time she kept us updated with pics and videos. Communication is key and she understood that giving my anxiety about my fur baby being away from me for the first time. Very much treated my Ozzy like her own. Ozzy and her dog Tank were like cousins lol. I will definitely keep booking with Crystal! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!!! 🤩❤️”


“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”


“They took such good care of our dogs! They sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing. One of my dogs can be temperamental with other dogs, but they made sure that he had his own space if he needed some alone time, so he was comfortable and happy. Both of my dogs had a blast playing with the other dogs and getting lots of snuggles!”


“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”


“Dogs seemed to enjoy themselves and I received plenty of pictures, so I wasn't too worried being separated from them for the first time ever. Hosts were also very understanding and willing to work with me for my one dog who doesn't play well with other dogs and offered to not accept any other pets during the time I booked, which is huge if you have a similar issue cause you know it's almost next to impossible to find anyone that will accept an aggressive dog.Would recommend!”


“Shunita boarded my puppy and helped nurse him back to health in a time where he needed extra loving, and care just like he was her own! Takes great care and pride in the babies she keeps.”


“I had a great experience with Brittany! She was so kind and attentive, she sent me daily updates and the cutest pictures of my dog. I also really appreciated that she offered pick-up and drop-off—it made the whole process super convenient. It seemed like my dog genuinely enjoyed his time with her, and I loved that she only takes one dog at a time, so he got plenty of attention. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Ashlyn was so good to our Buddy boy while we were out of town during the historic flooding in Louisville. It was an incredibly hard time to watch a puppy without having many opportunities to go outside, but she gave him all the love and kept us posted! She is amazing!”


“Leah was great! She watched our dog for us for 2 nights while we visited Louisville. Anytime we come back we will definitely be scheduling with her. Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety but I could tell he wasn’t stressed one bit when we picked him up. Leah also sent plenty of pics for us to see. I highly recommend leaving your pets with her.”
