“This was Oli's second time with Glee, and we couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a trustable, reliable and caring sitter - this is the one. We frequently got adorable picture/video updates of our pup and there is always great communication.”
“Julie is by our favorite & our fur babies favorite! Exceptionally responsive, friendly & loving to our babies. It’s so hard to find someone you trust with your dogs, we never have any doubt about how ours are when they stay with Julie! She has a beautiful home with so much space (plus a lot of love). We are so lucky to have found her a few years back and so happy we still have her! Thank you Julie!! -Quinn & Cooper”
“Barbara was so friendly, accommodating, and attentive to our pup right away. Charlie came back to us brushed and smelling nice. This was a great first experience. 100% recommend. Thanks Barbara!”
“Buster had the best time! What a great experience! I now feel so much better when I need to leave town that Buster has someone who he feels comfortable with. He will miss his home away from home:)”
“Shanna and her family were absolutely phenomenal! They took care of our high energy boys with no problem and had a beautiful fenced in backyard space for them to run around in. I'll be sure to book with Shanna whenever we need a sitter!”
“I’ve never had my dogs literally excited once they realized they were being dropped off at a dog sitter before. This is my second time using Sara and when I was standing at her front door to drop them off, my elderly dog was scratching at the door to be let in! Both dogs immediately acted like she was family. Highly recommend”
“Jennifer was great with my girl Frankie!! I was so scared to leave her because it was my first time leaving her with anyone besides family. I know Frankie was well taken care of, I enjoyed all the pictures I would get of her!!”
“This was the best pet sitter we have ever had and gosh have we had a bunch as we travel alot. We got picture updates every few hours, got to see how comfortable our girl was even when she was nervous to leave us, and she even took her with no hesitation after knowing our babe might go into heat! There will never be a question again as to who we leave our girl with! If you don't choose Dominie, you're settling for second best!”
“Anna was awesome.! When it was time to go home Napoleon didn’t want to go home and wanted to follow Anna back into her home. I’m sure Anna treated Napoleon as her own during his stay. Anna; texted me pictures and updates throughout his stay. Will definitely be coming back.”
“Sidney is AMAZING!!!! She took such loving care of ours boys while we were out of town. She cared for them as if they were her own pets and sent me plenty of pictures and videos. We will be using her again for our next dog-sitting needs!”
“Nalani is a great pet sitter. My cats were well taken care of, and I received updates throughout their stay. I returned from my trip to find them happy, healthy, and reluctant to leave. Would recommend Nalani to anyone in need of boarding a pet!”
“Adriana is the best pet sitter I have ever known. She spoils my dog, gives him treats, and bathes him before I pick him up. I would highly recommend Adriana for any of your pet care needs.”

“Jill S. My 2 GSP's stayed with them for 2 weeks. They were very accommodating and were very willing to work with me. They took great care of my pups and I will most definitely be using them again in the future! Thank you!”
“Maribel was so good with my Gidget girl. Maribel sent me photos and updates every day. It really set me at ease knowing she was being so well taken care of. Maribel has a huge back yard so Gidget could run and play. Maribel was so nice and easy to talk to. I will definitely use Rover/Maribel again for my dog sitting needs.”

Jess was amazing with our boy. Brutus seemed very happy and comfortable to be there with Jess. Jess was very informative and we got plenty of picture's and video updates of our boy. Responded in a timely manner and we needed a last minute sitter and Jess was very happy to help us. 10/10 would let Brutus stay with Jess if we happened to be in the area again.
This is our first time to have our dog in a home. She usually is in the boarding place. But wow, what a difference. If only I could multiply Ms Jeanette,,,she is AWESOME with our dog! Our dog loves her so much and we also Do. She did an amazing job taking care of Echo for A week and she send us messages everyday and photos of her (you dont get this in boarding place). I hope she is available the next time we need a place for our Dog. I so appreciate Ms Jeanette, she is simply the Best!
