“Maverick loves when we pull up to Nancy’s house. It’s his home away from home! He has an instant dog friend and a warm & cozy house to play and relax in. I love getting pictures of him playing with DeDe and other dog friends. I’m so thankful Nancy is very accommodating with our crazy drop off and pick up times!”

13. Shannon L.
“Shannon was an awesome sitter. From the moment of our initial phone conversation I knew I had found the right fit for Sophie. She kept in contact with us, also sent us pictures on how she was doing. I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing that Sophie was in a good environment. I am so happy we connected with Shannon.”
14. Julia H.
“Julia was awesome! She answered all of my questions and was very kind, which made me feel comfortable trusting her with my fur baby☺️ During her time sitting she sent me pics often and made sure to keep me updated. Nina seemed to be having a great time going on walks and eating pupcups!lol Overall I was extremely pleased with Julia and plan to book with her whenever she’s available and I have an upcoming trip!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
15. Crystal G.
“Crystal was amazing! She was super accommodating and friendly. She also sent pictures of my dog while I was away. It felt my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely book her again!”
16. Richard & Kelly V.
“Richard could not have been nicer and my dogs seem to have enjoyed their stay! I was worried about my 15 month old English bulldog pouting the entire time, but Richard won her over. The location is wonderfully located high above the daily humdrum. If your pets are used to country living, they will thoroughly enjoy a stay here! I highly recommend and will be using for future needs.”
17. Koelber H.
“Koelber is incredible with my cats! My girl isn’t super friendly with strangers (all hiss, no scratch) but she’s not afraid of her at all. My boy is the sweetest kitty who just wants all the love, and Koelber makes sure to give it to him! I always get pictures and videos of them from her visits, and she stays with them for at least 30 minutes to feed them, play with them, and clean up after them. I have recommended her to multiple friends, and now I’m recommending her to you! There truly is no one better to watch your pets!”
18. Emily M.
“Emily was wonderful and so easy to work with! Our pups seemed to have a great time and loved her fenced in backyard. Very much appreciated Emily’s daily messages and pics. Will definitely use again!”
19. Lauren H.
“Lauren was fantastic. She made sure I knew how kuk was really doing, shared video and photos of her, and was flexible with the time for me to pickup Kuk. Kuk loved her and I highly recommend Lauren. She was kind, communicative and super understanding. I am so grateful.”
20. Tucker D.
“Tucker took excellent care of my dog, Oreo! He kept me informed how she was doing and was helpful with last minute changes to picking up. Highly recommend!”
