“Our dog Lance was cared for by Jo and her husband Mike. We were extremely happy with the care he received while we were on vacation. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Phillip was great. He took such good care of mt 5 month old pup. Phollip has a great fully fenced yard that is great for dogs. He was even forgiving of her accidents. I will definitely use him again”
“Penelope had a nice and relaxing time while we were in Vermont for the weekend. We received videos and updates throughout and felt really comfortable and confident having her stay with Yingying!”
“Brooke has an genuine love of dogs and it is obvious. She was very accommodating and very happy to make Chance feel at home. It was a great family atmosphere and we were very comfortable knowing that Chance was being well cared for and being given lots of attention.”
“I appreciated Dayana’s quick response and willingness to accept a last minute boarding request for our dog while away for a long weekend. She allowed me to stop by ahead of booking with her to view her house and yard. She has a thoughtful set up for ensuring dogs will be comfortable in her house with dog beds, toys, and treats. She was also flexible to accept a later pick-up time when we returned home. Dayana sent both pictures and videos, which made me feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands. I would use her again.”
“Nevaeh was super kind and friendly. I had zero worries and could tell that my baby Miko had a great time while in her care . Thank you for providing awesome care for my baby !”
“This was our first stay with Allison and she and her husband made us feel immediately comfortable leaving our 5 month old pup, Boka, with them for an overnight. My family had a long theme park day planned and Allison was super flexible and accommodated our next-day late-night pick up. We communicated off and on throughout the day and were given a positve report when we picked Boka up. Our little dog had so much fun at Camp Puggle that she went right to bed that night and even woke up calm the next morning! She was even too tired for zoomies! I am very happy with the service Allison provided and the care Boka received; not to mention the added perk of socializing and play time with other dogs. I recommend Allison and would absolutely ask her to pet sit for us again in the future.”
“Leaving Penelope with Penny feels like a family member is taking care of her. Penny sends daily pictures with comments. I strongly recommend Penny to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Carol is warm and friendly and immediately made an effort to make our dog feel at ease. It was reassuring that she works from home, and she is clearly fond of her dog. Carol is definitely our new go-to for boarding Gus!”
“I can't say enough good things about Lucille! She took amazing care of our little guy, sending thoughtful updates and photos throughout our time away. She was attentive to his needs, followed his routine perfectly, and clearly showered him with love and attention. Our dog came home happy and well-cared for. I would HIGHLY recommend Lucille to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“If Tucker and Eloise had their way, they would stay with Debra each and every week! ! Each time I have left Tucker and Eloise with Debra, I have left them knowing that they were in the very best hands and we're going to have so much fun. I can't thank Debra enough for taking such good care of Tucker and Eloise. ”
“Lauren took great care of our girl, River! She kept us up to date with messages and River appeared well cared for. Lauren responded quickly when we were chatting before booking and was great with communication. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Manessa is fantastic! Henry had a blast spending time with her, and her dog Kip. Very prompt replies and photo updates of adventures throughout the day. Never had a worry that he wasn’t in fantastic care. Would highly recommend anyone in need of boarding to use Manessa! Henry will be back!”
“Charlie was well loved and attended to. I know this because it took him almost 3 hours to come sit with me. I think he was sad to leave his new friends. Michelle was kind enough to send daily pictures of Charlie making himself at home. She was perfect for his first time sleepover without mom.”
“Ashton was amazing!! I could tell my dogs got lots of love and they enjoyed their stay. Not only was Ashton available and accommodating for our last-minute request, but he was communicative and put my mind at ease about leaving my big goof balls for the weekend. Will definitely be using Ashton and family again!”
“I've never had to board my dogs before and was very nervous. Rachael answered my many questions, explained everything I needed to know. Her family is wonderful with my dogs and I finally feel I've found someone caring and trustworthy. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Thank you Nikki!! Nikki looked after our pup for a little over three weeks. She was happy to accommodate our dogs diet and helped our pup with her anxiety around humans and other dogs. Nikki really loves dogs and gave our pup genuine care while we were away. She sent us picture updates regularly and communicated with us promptly. We plan to continue sending our pup to Nikki’s and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
