“John was wonderful with our elderly dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. John was above and beyond our expectations, he even gave us some new ideas to keep our dog more active. I don’t think our dog was ready to leave, thought he was on vacation too. I highly recommend John you won’t be disappointed.”
“Janet was wonderful! This was the first time I've left our chocolate lab with someone we didn't know. She had a great time at doggie day camp, playing with her dogs, lots of walks, including to the creek, and treats galore! We are grateful to have found someone who will love our girl and take such good care of her while we are gone.”
“Thatcher had a great time and Tiffany was a great host!”
“Paula is absolutely wonderful! We couldn't have left our fur baby in better hands. She cared for him flawlessly, provided lots of snuggles and love, and gave us regular update with photos. We will definitely be using her again as our pet's home away from home!”
“Jody took amazing care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced in yard for pups to hang out and explore. She provided over the top service feeding my pups eggs when they wouldn’t eat their food and providing a fan for when they came back inside from running around. She was a delight to deal with from start to finish and sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend her!! Thanks again Jody!”

“Our Maggie stayed with Taylor while we were gone for spring break. She had a great time and was well cared for. It’s important to me as a Dog Mom to know that my girl is well cared for while I am away and she came home wore out from all the playing with her new fur friends that she met.”
“Emily was very easy to work with and communicated well with us. She sent us updates each day along with pictures which was great! I felt good about leaving our dogs and I definitely feel like there were well taken care of! I would book with Emily again!”

“Liz is the best!! My dogs love her! And that’s an understatement. She’s dependable, loving, a great communicator. My dogs stayed with her for a week and they were treated like one of their own animals. She’s sends updates and pictures frequently. She’s very flexible. She’s given our family a chance to vacation. I just never knew anyone who watched animals, so we never went anywhere. We are very grateful for Liz and my dogs are so lucky to get her love and attention.”
“I cannot say enough about Krystal and her family! Truly the best dog sitter I could ever dream up!! She loved our sweet poochie like her own! She sent me daily updates with pictures and details about how he was doing, and what fun activities they were doing with him! She has a gorgeous area in her home dedicated to doggy sitting, and it is just lovely. They took him on walks and puppy stroller rides when the pavement was too hot for his little feet. They worked on his tricks with him, they even bought him a new toy just for the fun of it! I had no doubts that he was being well cared for, and that was so comforting to me while we were traveling. I will 100% use Krystal again, and recommend her to everyone!!”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”

I definitely will be booking again and I recommend her to anyone who needs to take their pet someone for boarding. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Willow. I can’t wait to book again!”
