1. Nikki M.

“Nikki is a total pro. She is an excellent communicator and she knows dogs! She had my socially anxious pup playing with the other dogs and learning new social skills right away - it's more progress than I've ever been able to make with her on my own. She makes the whole process (booking, drop-off, pick-up, updates and communication) easy and smooth. I would recommend Nikki to anyone!”


2. Sarah H.

“Sarah was wonderful and went above and beyond caring for our dog during a very stormy weekend. She made sure Charlie felt comfortable and safe and sent us a ton of pictures and updates. We love her!”


3. Kaee S.

“This is our second time booking with Kaee. She is lovely, has a wonderful dog that our dog gets along with, and is always responsive and loving to our dog. Will book again!”


4. Savannah R.

“Savannah is a life saver. She took in Bucky last minute and he had a blast. She sent update pictures throughout the visit and was very flexible on pick up and drop off times. My dog had a blast and slept the entire next day he was so tired from playing in the dog pool.”




5. Courtney S.


“Courtney was wonderful. She provided pics and updates. My pup was having an awesome time. Responded very quickly when I had questions. I would definitely recommend her and will most definitely use her again!!”


6. Lauryn A.

“Lauryn is absolutely incredible! She's the sweetest and most cheerful person ever. I adore her and her adorable furry babies because they took such amazing care of my little Loki 🐶 She kept me updated with regular photos, made sure everything was perfect, and showered my baby with so much love! I cannot recommend Lauryn enough if you're in need of someone to look after your precious fur babies. Once again, my Loki had the best time with them, and we are definitely going back for more fun and cuddles! 🥰”


7. Callie B.


“I could not recommend Callie any higher. She covers every detail, and is ready for any variation. I didn’t think I would ever be comfortable leaving my dog with anyone. I was wrong. She is THE BEST!”


8. Laura S.

“Laura was so great with my muffin! Muffin was crying as we pulled out of the driveway because she was so sad about leaving all her new friends behind! Laura provided incredible care and communication and she was so flexible regarding my unknown travel time because of the snow and ice! After our meet and greet I could tell that muffin and her pups had already become besties and she also clicked with Laura very well! We can’t wait to use her as a sitter again!”


9. Brenda F.
“Brenda did an amazing job boarding my Tibetan Spaniel in her home. Her home was clean and soothing and I could tell my dog felt instantly comfortable. She had lots of dog toys and her house was set up to make sure dogs can be safe. She had baby gates around the front and back doors so dogs can’t rush out the door into the street. She also had a separate gated off area with a small doggie door through the gate so a small dog like mine could enjoy his food separately from a bigger dog. She had soft blankets on her furniture and my dog loved snoozing on them. She sent regular photo and video updates of him playing and snuggling and enjoying her lovely fenced in courtyard and yard. I could tell he was having the BEST time. I was so glad my dog got to go on a fun vacation too! We will definitely be boarding with Brenda again!”


10. Isabella S.


“Isabella took such good care of my two doggies! I know my puppy can be a lot to handle but she took it like a champ. I HIGHLY recommend!!! 🩷🩷🩷”




11. Ann P.


“Ann did an amazing job with Rev. She took great care of him, and she watched him longer than I originally requested. She sent me plenty of great photos of my dog as well. She kept me up to date with his care needs. I couldn’t of asked for a better sitter for my best friend.”




12. Lauri S.


“Lauri is always always kind to Meeks, our 90lb baby. Meeks loves to go to Lauri's, to hang out. We fill confident that our dog is being taken care of, and is safe. Thanks Lauri”




13. Allie R.

“If I could give Allie a 1 billion star rating I would, Her care and constant updates kept my mind at ease while I was away she is truly amazing! And since she is so close to my sisters house I will MOST DEFINITELY keep her as my go to anytime I am in Mobile visiting my sister!! Thank you so much Allie God bless🙏🏽”

15. Esmeralda A.
About: My Monday-Friday work-from-home routine perfectly aligns with pet care. I provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and personalized care, ensuring happy, stress-free pets all day. My work-from-home schedule allows flexibility for feeding, walks, and play. Being active myself ensures pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. I care for pets in my home as if they were my own, providing love, safety, and a cozy environment. In clients’ homes, I maintain routines, ensure comfort, and deliver personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, just like their family.


16. Haileigh R.
About: I’ve been training puppies, sitting dogs and rescuing since I was 7. Because of my work schedule I am unable to have a pet of my own I would love to sit yours !! I am currently working full time, I am available weekdays after 3pm, Friday and Saturday all day. Sunday mornings I have church but after 12 I am available!! I have a fenced in yard approximately 2200sq ft. I can crate your animal overnight in my home or I can watch your animal in your home however you like !


17. Alyssa W.
“Alyssa is very dependable, great with all animals ( even reptiles), and caring. She will go above and beyond to make sure your pet has the best love, care and affection while you are away!!”


18. Kristin S.

“Kristin and her family were great with our dog! He’s a shy dog and this was his first stay away from us but she did a wonderful job helping him feel at home. Would recommend!”


19. Anna J.
About: I will provide care and love to your dog just like I do for my very own fur-children. Your dog will enjoy being able to be comfortable and relax on the couch while enjoying time with two other very friendly dogs. We go in lots of walks and stay as active as the weather will allow for. I have a fenced area behind my townhouse that will allow for easy potty breaks. If you want your dog to run for their walk, I would be more than happy to provide that service as well! I’m a full time nursing student wanting to help out fellow pet owners while I have a little free time! I’ve also experienced the hassle of finding boarding for overnights, and I’d love to ease the stress of that. I’m currently earning my degree from home, so I have flexibility and availability for your furbabies and will be able to provide attention and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in large backyard with two playful friendly dogs of my own to keep your furbaby company. I can also easily separate or crate your dog if needed.


20. Brennon B.

“Brennon was amazing!! He was very good at updates and making our dog feel at home. When we came back it was like our dog had been on his very own vacation!! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!”
