“We had never used an outside resource to care for our dog and we were completely surprised. Kimberly was thoughtful and kind and our dog was in amazing hands. She listened and walked us through the process and kept us updated throughout the whole weekend and even sent us pictures. We loved it and we will definitely use Kimberly again - she is awesome!!! Thank you for making our first time so easy.”
“Jackie watched our two french bulldogs and took wonderful care of them. We received updates daily, and they had a blast. She is reliable and trustworthy. We will definitely be using Jackie for our future pet sitting needs!”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“My dogs love staying at Miss Danielle's! She gives them lots of snuggles and playtime in the backyard. They always come home exhausted for about the next 24 hours after I bring them home! I'm glad we have someone we trust with our fur babys when we're out of town.”
“We are so glad Mocha stayed at Keith’s house over the holidays because he was treated like “family”! Keith took the time to get to know Mocha’s needs and took excellent care of him. As Mocha gets older, we worry more about leaving him, so seeing pictures of him curled up on a lap let us know that he felt happy and safe! Keith was flexible and easy to communicate with. We hope Mocha will get the chance to stay with him again!”
“Brian and his family were awesome. I had some anxiety about leaving my little guy. I received daily updates which came with pictures. I knew he was in a good home when I saw how comfortable he was. When Brian noticed that my little guy hadn’t eaten a lot one day, he added beef broth to his meal. This surely encouraged my little guy to eat. The family enjoyed his stay and he enjoyed them as well. Thank you, Brian and your family for being so accommodating, responsive, and flexible.”
“Chad took amazing care of my dog, Dooly, while I was on vacation! He provided daily updates with photos and videos and assured me that I didn’t have to worry. Dooly had an incredible time with him and his wife and clearly trusted them. As a thoughtful touch, Chad even gave me a physical photo of Dooly at the end of his stay, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be rebooking with Chad in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“We are so happy with the care and attention that Valerie provided. We received regular updates and videos, and I could tell from her pictures that our dog was at ease and well cared for. Our dog is fifteen so we always worry about leaving her with a kennel where she will be crated most of the day. With Valerie, she was free to roam, got plenty of outside breaks, and got all the good food she was used to. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Lily was so happy staying with Katie and Tim! I can tell she had a lot of walks and playtime because she’s pretty tired from all the fun. I got plenty of pictures and updates during our time away and always felt in the loop. Thanks Katie and Tim!”

“Pat is awesome! She sent me daily pictures and updates of Mason, our 75lb Shepherd mix, and was always very responsive. She has a big fenced yard that I know Mason really enjoyed. She clearly loves dogs. We will definitely use Pat’s services again in the future!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter than Kimberly. She took incredible care of our dog, Dolce, while we were away for two weeks—and it gave us so much peace of mind to know she was in such good hands. Kimberly sent daily photo updates, and it was clear from her happy face that she was having the best time. Dolce was treated like part of the family and came home calm, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Lizzie and her husband were great with our 80lb hyper puppy. They took the time to let us come over prior, to introduce our puppy to their dogs.

- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
