“Cadey and Jacob are 100% the best! They took such good care of my dog - they kept me updated with walks, general behavior and they sent photos! 10/10 recommend Cadey and Jacob for pet sitting!”


“Thanks for all the feedback and activity updated while we were traveling. Lola loves you and your family. Always leave us feeling safe and secure. I know how much you care about your furry little guests. We appreciate you so much. ML”


“Harley LOVED staying with them! This is definitely where we will be putting her when we’re out of town. Couldn’t have enough nice things to say. They have plenty of space for a dog any size.”


“I felt super comfortable leaving my dog with Lucy for a week. She kept me updated with photos and videos and I could see that my dog was spending plenty of time socializing outside. I highly recommend Lucy!”


“Huckleberry seemed to do great. Ashley got back to me quickly and took care of us on short notice for an emergency trip. Very easy to work with and very nice.”


“My dog was happy and cared for! Olga accommodated to our schedule and was very flexible with our last minute time change. very professional, I highly recommend!”


“Sarah took such good care of our dogs and very responsive and sent us updates daily. We felt great having our dogs with her while we were on vacation and will glady use her services again. Thank you Sarah for taking good care of our girls!”


“Jessica sent pictures of maple often and told me he was doing just fine over there. Was flexible with picking up time changed and plan on using her again for next time.”


“Our doggos were well cared for and happy when they came home! Thank you so much for caring for them so our minds could be at ease while we traveled 🩷”


“Madelyn took fantastic care of our pup! He has a lot of energy but somehow came home nice and tired. Appreciated her laid back easy going nature! Would definitely recommend!”


“This was my first time to ask someone watch my puppies as TWO 5 months old Siberian Huskies which are super energetic and still on training phase. Andrea seemed to know dog’s characteristics already and she probably expected how my puppies will be. However, she took care of them so good for two nights without any problems and I had no worries during whole time. I am not sure if it is coincidence but puppies’ behaviors seem to be better with physically and emotionally after Andrea! I highly recommend anyone Andrea’s care for their dogs. Thank you again, Andrea!”



“We felt very comfortable leaving Olivia with Sharon and Michael because of their reviews and many families returning to them for pet sitting. We had a horrible experience in the past with a Rover sitter in a different state, so we were anxious to leave Olivia again but felt good about Sharon and Michael keeping her for a long weekend. My only complaint- We are used to more frequent photos and updates when away from our pups, and we didn’t get that this time unfortunately. Despite this, I would definitely use their family again in the future as they were very professional, flexible and understanding, have a clean home, and had very sweet kiddos to love on our pup.”


“Our pups had a terrific time with Mia over the weekend. She made sure they had plenty of playtime, walks and downtime. Great communication, lots of pics. I would happily rebook with Mia!”


“It was Yuki's first time staying with anyone outside of the family and she seemed to have a great time at Crystal's. Loved the updates and pictures.”


“Ralph and his wife went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. They made their home open to them and were communicative through the entire process. I would highly recommend their services and will use their services again. Very warm people who you can tell enjoy taking care of furry friends.”


“Trey has been a reliable dog sitter and trainer for my pup. She is kind, has great communication and is very caring. We are very lucky to have her!”
