Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!

Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!

Aaron is incredible. My very shy 9 y/o rescue seemed to warm up to him very quickly. He provided frequent updates and was somehow able to coax her into eating earlier than normal. It usually takes for a day and a half to settle in and start eating and he was able to do it pretty quickly. He sent pictures and even a video which showed me how happy and content she was. I had a long/stressful business trip and I’m always nervous having her with someone new for the first time however, Aaron made it stress-free as I knew she was in good hands. Will definitely be calling Aaron to watch Gracie again.

Trevor and Kari were absolutely wonderful! They were incredibly accommodating when we needed a sitter on short notice after another arrangement fell through. From the moment we met them, we felt comfortable leaving Kobe in their care while we traveled to Japan for two weeks. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kobe comes with specific feeding instructions and daily medications, and Trevor and Kari did an excellent job making sure all of his needs were met. Most importantly, he was well cared for and received all of the snuggles and attention he demands! We could tell he felt right at home. We are so grateful for their flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We would not hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitters!

We are so grateful to Nani for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Loki, while we were away for four days. She treated him like part of her family and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that Loki was having a fantastic time playing with her dog and getting lots of love and attention. Nani is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely trust her with Loki again. Highly recommended!
