“Penny was absolutely wonderful! She sent lots of updates and pictures of our doggie and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dog for the first time! We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”


“Lola had a wonderful time with Svitlana. Svitlana clearly loves dogs and took such good care of my dog. She sent updates with photos and videos regularly to let us know how Lola was doing. I would definitely book again!”


“Bree was pleasant and provided updates and pictures. We booked less than a week in advance and she was able to be available. We were looking for someone who could watch both our cat and dog and she was happy to. Much appreciated!”


“Jesse and Emily were fantastic with Kimber. Great communication with me and all the love and spoiling for Kimber. I love how they made her part of their family for the long weekend!”

“Hillary was fantastic! Whaley stayed with her for 10 days and we received continuous communication and pictures. He was even hesitant to leave her house when we went to pick him up because he was so happy there.”


“Cynthia took great care of my two dogs. She is caring and communicative- I loved seeing the photos she sent. We already have booked with her for two more times. Highly recommend!”


“Rebecca was a great host for our 1 year-old pitbull. We were out of the country for 3 weeks and she gave regular updates, which put us at ease. Our dog got plenty of play and made new friends, would definitely do again!”


“Jani and Paul treated Leo like he was part of the family. He received so much attention and love, I’m not sure he wanted to leave! Thank you so much for giving Leo such wonderful care.”


“Katina took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and photos. Molly had a wonderful time going on walks and to the dog park as well as playing with Katina’s cute little dog. Katina is very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was very sweet with Molly and you can tell she is a true animal lover. We will definitely have Molly stay again in the future!”

“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”


“Great experience with Madison and Ryan. They were very responsive and all communications sent. Great updates including pictures took really good care of Cody, including plenty of woods walks and attention. They also managed his limes disease medication for the long weekend. Would definitely book with them again!”


“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”


“Heather is super responsive and takes your pet’s needs seriously. My pup is sweet but has some anxiety issues—Heather thoughtfully supported all of his needs while providing lots of pictures and updates to ease my mind while he was under her care. Highly recommended… will definitely be booking again!”


“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She was very responsive to all our messages and sent regular updates and photos each day. She was also incredibly flexible with our pickup time after a delayed return flight. We definitely would book with Brooke again!”
