“Leslie was great, she kept our doggies safe and happy while we were out of town. She was able to keep my senior dog on her regular medications and always kept us in the loop if there were any changes. I don’t like leaving my pets but I know with Leslie they are well taken care of. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone caring and responsible to look after your dogs.”
“Tammy did a great job with our anxious doggy. She was very communicative and made sure we always knew how he was doing. Our dog loved her, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Our timid basset hound took to Olivia immediately. And Olivia supported her through thunderstorms and fireworks at night. Communication was immediate with pictures! We would definitely recommend her to family and friends. And we’d book again without reservation!”
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
“Our dog loved Shelly as soon as she walked through the door. Shelly delivered the care we were hoping for, especially with this being our first time with Rover. We were definitely nervous, but she helped keep those feelings at bay. Definitely will use her again.”
“Kyla took such great care of our dog while we were away! Our dog wasn't feeling very good so Kyla stayed home with her the entire time, administered her medication, and communicated with me often. It really gave me peace of mind while on my trip.”
“Our pup was clearly happy and well taken care of while we were away. I appreciate how much Sarah took care of our needs (to get lots of updates) and was so flexible and understanding when the airline changed our travel plans on us. Our dog is happy to see us but I bet he’ll be looking for Sarah to come play with him soon! Will definitely hope to have Sarah come take care of him again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’ve always been a dog person and have a lot of experience around all sorts of dogs!

“Shelby was great with the boys. They seemed happy and calm when I got home from a longish trip. She contacted me immediately when there was a bit of a scuffle and handled a couple of surprises well.”
“Alison is fantastic! I highly recommend Alison if you need someone to care for your pets. She stayed at our home with our two dogs, ( a 7-month-old puppy and a 9-year-old senior dog) while we were out of town for three days. She took great care of them and I had no concerns or worries while they were in her care. Alison was is constant communication with us about their daily activities and sent several pictures of them showing how happy and active they were. The house was well cared for. Didn't look like anyone was even here! Again, I highly recommend her!”
“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
“Ann was fabulous with our elderly min pin and kitty. They both have meds and a schedule that works well and Ann was able to master that for the time she cared for our two furry kids. She spent a couple of nights and days and both pets were calm and fine when we returned. I would have Ann sit for our kiddos again!”
