“Cindy was amazing with our dog Loki! We felt so much more comfortable leaving him with her than we ever have at a traditional boarding facility. From the start, she was super flexible—when our travel plans changed last minute, she was totally accommodating and easy to work with. Communication was on point the entire time. Cindy sent us regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Loki was having a great time—he had dog buddies to play with, was allowed on the couch (which he loved), and genuinely looked happy and relaxed in every update. Not only did she treat Loki like one of her own, but her home is also lovely and the backyard was perfect for him to run around and play. That made a huge difference for us knowing he had space to enjoy himself. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will absolutely book with Cindy again in the future. Highly recommend!”



“Marna and family took excellent care of Gus. Daily updates were provided and prompt/detailed communication about drop off/pick up made a quick getaway stress free. He was a part of the family and was a happy, tired boy when he came home. We’ve already booked our next stay!”



“Natalie was amazing… was there when my plan fell through last minute, family was all so nice.. she sent me pics of blue, was so friendly and accommodating! Thank you so much for loving my baby!!”


“Kelly took Copper in and gave him 100% attention for the days I was gone. I am very very pleased with how she cared for him. I highly Recommend Kelly. Top of the line caring dog sitter.”


“Mala had a lovely stay with Alissa. Mala had a large, private, cozy space for rest and relaxation, which was perfect for this 15 year old girl. Alissa has a large property providing plenty of opportunities for Mala to explore outdoors. And, she was spoiled with homemade treats! Thank you for taking such good care of her, Alissa!”


“Kyle and Mariah were fantastic caretakers for Lobo for the past week! Got photo updates multiple times per day, and it's clear that he had a TON of engagement and activity - he put himself to bed when we got home 😂. Highly recommend!!”


“Kaylee was an absolute pleasure to talk to and she was always open with communication. She took excellent care of our Beau, we were worried as this was our longest time away from him but he always looked so loved and happy in every picture! Would 100% use Kaylee again!”


“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”


“Vicky was a great sitter for my pup, Rhody! Rhody is super shy and can be anxious but Vicky made her comfortable right from the start. I loved all the picture updates and would definitely use Vicky again!”


“Our bouncy pup, Maple, had the best time with Viva! She was so great with training things and made us feel so good leaving our pup with her for the weekend. Definitely will reach out to Viva again!”



“Amy was great with my two Bernedoodles. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and she made sure to send lots of pics that made me feel better. She was great at communicating and I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”


“Michaela was great with Barley for an evening so my wife and I could go to a festival. Even in the relatively short time, she sent multiple photos and videos of Barley clearly having a great time with Michaela, her partner, and her dog Gus. I would recommend her to anyone in Portland!”


“Kathleen took great care of our pup for a week! She was communicative, professional, helpful, and clearly loves dogs! He is a high energy dog who loves to run and go for walks, and she made sure to give him lots of exercise! We know he was in great hands, which is amazing peace of mind when you’re out of town. Thanks Kathleen!!”


“Molly was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch our dog Sadie. We could not have been happier with the care she received. She enjoyed playing with Molly's 2 pups and barely noticed we had left her. ”


“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”


“Sarah and Dylan were both very accommodating with drop off and pick up. It made it easy for my husband and I to plan our trip to Boston for NYE and to know that Pika was taken care of. Easy communication and got an update with a couple of pictures to see how Pika was doing. Thank you again Sarah and Dylan! Will definitely bring Pika over next time!”


“I had no worries about my dog when I left her with Colleen. My dog is a little skittish with adults she doesn’t know but warmed up to Colleen easily. Lola had a blast with her and other dogs. So happy.”


“This was my dog-Sophie’s- first time away from family in her almost 2 years. She loved it. The large outdoor yard and Rose’s dogs made her feel welcome and a part of the pack. We would use Rose’s sitter services again for sure!”
