“Ice again Kolton was an amazing sitter. He was available last minute and really communicative. I loved seeing videos of my pup playing with his!”
2. Kat E.
“Kat and her family were so great! From our first communication to dropping and picking up our puppy, everything was helpful and went so smoothly. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my new puppy with her and sent me several pictures and videos to assure me that things were going well. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a temporarily caregiver for their furry family member and we will be booking her in the future for sure!”

“Elaine was great! Chili had a great time with her. She was informative and sent lots of pictures/videos to us. She was also flexible and easy to book with. I will be using her again!”
4. Caitlin R.
“Caitlin has so much patience and compassion with dogs! Our Lucy has stayed with her twice now. Most recently Lucy had been sick and still wasn’t feeling well when we took her over. Caitlin was able to get Lucy to start eating well again and encouraged her to interact with the other dogs. Caitlin is extremely organized and sends photos and texts regularly. She and her family seemed to enjoy cuddling with Lucy. We’ll definitely use Caitlin the next time we travel.”

9. Leina R.
“I can not say enough good things about our experience with Leina. We first met her and her dog Frankie at a park, and our dogs got along great! She was very quick with all communications, and she even sent us pictures during the entire stay, which we very much appreciated! She has a beautiful house with a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play. This was our first time ever leaving our dog with someone other than family, so we were very nervous, but Leina made the whole process so easy and we were very confident that he was in the best care. We will definitely recommend Leina to our friends and family. We are so happy that we found her, and we will absolutely contact her again for our next vacation! Thank you Leina!!”

14. Sara H.
“Sara and her daughter have watched our 55 pound Goldendoodle, Chip, several times over the past year. They take great care of him. Sometimes she’ll watch another dog while he’s over—he loves having a friend and I love knowing he’s not at a kennel with 100 other dogs. Sara sends pics and updates, which my family appreciates. Thanks Sara for always taking such good care of Chip.”

We recommend Diane for anyone needing pet care. Thank you Dianne for your awesome care!!”
