“I could immediately tell that my dog settled in for her stay easily. I loved the updates, and working with them was super easy. I hope to use their services again in the future.”
“Jean was a wonderful sitter for Piglet!! Lots of pictures and messages. Everything went extremely well, except for a glitch with his food (my fault!) but she handled it with aplomb and creativity and all was well!! She is going to be my go to sitter from now on!!”
“Celina was wonderful. She made Maui's time with her and her pup Smokey, so great. Big yard, plenty of room to run and snuggle time when inside. She also made it easier to leave Maui with her wonderful personality and openess to let Maui do things on her timetable. She was very good at sharing photos and videos of Maui's time with her. I will use her services whenever I have to step out of town and not have to worry about my little pupper.”
“Karen is a very professional pet sitter! She was understanding and kind and kept me updated with my pup during the entire stay. I will book with her every time! Thank you”
“Shawn was communicative from the start through to past when I picked Dakota up. Super friendly, super helpful and overall just great. Understanding of my concerns and Dakota’s wants and needs. Will definitely book with them again. :)”
“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”
“Sarah is an excellent communicator and very careful. We had a meet and greet within 24 hours of my request to book where she asked lots of questions to ensure Cooper’s stay would go smoothly. She sent photos and daily updates and was flexible with pickup. I will definitely rebook with Sarah.”
“Anely was amazing and super responsive! She gave me daily updates on our dog and reassured me throughout his stay. Our dog needs medication and Anely had no issues administering the necessary care. She was super nice and even allowed us to extend our dogs stay last minute, very accommodating! Will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
“We were so lucky to have had found Briana. She kept us updated on how our dogs were from the day we left to the day we picked them up. Our boys were very calm and happy when they returned home. We knew they were very well cared for while in her care. Her reviews, experience, and knowledge about animals is unmatched. She’s such a pleasant person to do business with. We will definitely be her returning clients!”
“I had a last minute emergency and Erica came through for us. Very kind and loving family. It is obvious how much affection they have for animals. Daisy did great and I never worried about her for a moment. It was a good experience for us.”
“I am so thankful that my dog got to hang out with Danielle over the holiday weekend. He is a ball of energy sometimes but she was up to the task. Danielle was communicative and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Kyleigh B is very attentive and she sent me lots of great pictures of my Jack. I would not hesitate boarding Jack with Kyleigh again. Jack got lots of cuddles and play time, and my husband and I were very appreciative of her attention to Jack.”
“We booked Nicolas at the last minute. We were getting married and had never left Elsa before. The person that was going to watch her got injured. Nicolas was so accommodating. Elsa loved him. Everything went better than expected!”
“We were in a tough spot when our original dog sitter canceled the night before we were supposed to leave for the holidays due to illness. Jessica came to the rescue by accepting our last-minute request. From the start, she was upfront and transparent about her situation. She was already watching another dog that wasn’t comfortable around other dogs. She had a well-thought-out plan in place to keep the dogs separated, which gave us complete peace of mind. Jessica was highly communicative, keeping us updated with pictures and videos of Apollo throughout the stay. Her attentiveness, reliability, and thoughtful approach made the entire experience stress-free. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and we’re so grateful for her help.”
“Sent me pictures of my puppy and kept me updated! Loved how she took my puppy for walks and let her run in the fenced in backyard. Will definitely use her again! She was friendly and communicated!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. We needed a last minute sitter and they were responsive and accommodating. Our doc is skittish but they seemed to make him a part of their family while he was with them. And their dogs are so friendly and cute to pets and people alike. Janay and Antonio will be our fort choice pet sitting from now on!”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”

Anne was great at sending me photos and updates on Maizie's stay for the better part of 3 weeks, gave her ear drops and allergy chews daily and was also very accommodating about the possibility that my trip could be canceled. From the look of the photos, Maizie made new friends with Anne's dogs and had a great time! I'm glad to find someone I trust to care for her if I'm away and would highly recommend her.
Jessica was the best!! Spencer absolutely loved his sleepover party with his new pals. Jessica made sure to keep me updated with pictures and videos of Spencer. She made me feel comfortable with Spencer being at a new home for the first time. She made sure he got his night time meds, and extra snacks! Overall Jessica was one of the best rovers I had. Super attentive and caring. Spencer can’t wait to go back and see his girl friends!💕💕
Paige is amazing! She is beyond accommodating and so easy to work with. As hard as it is to leave our pup behind, we never have a single worry knowing he’s in the best hands. He always has the best time with her dogs and her wonderful family. We’re so grateful to have found someone we completely trust. Highly, highly recommend!
As always, Theo was so obviously loved and happy to be with his second family for a 5 night stay. When we arrived for drop off, he was excited and anxious to run inside to say hello. When we left, he was hesitant and looking over his shoulder hoping Andrea and family would follow. Thank you again for welcoming him even in single digit weather with mounds of snow!
