“When our go-to to watch Penny was unavailable, Heather saved the day! She was incredibly responsive, sent pictures/updates throughout the weekend and made me feel at ease. Thank you again, Heather!”


“I never thought that I would be able to replace the pet sitter we had for 20 years but thankfully I found Penny. She took such good care of our Cockers for 2 weeks. I would recommend her to anyone. Communication was excellent, she sent photos, videos and updates just about every day. I never had to worry as if anything came up, she did not hesitate to let me know, plus her back yard is amazing! Such a great experience”


“Sarah & John are the best!! We dropped our pup off for a week while I had a baby and they were so flexible and understanding of our needs! They kept us updated with photos and messages. Esme loves visiting with them!!”


“Wonderful couple. My dog, Willow, had such a great time with them and their fur baby, Emily, I don't think she missed me at all. Lol. I'm so happy I found someone I trust to care for Willow when I travel.”


“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!”


“Greta provided great care for our independent minded and sometimes mischievous husky mix and was willing to meet us elsewhere for the drop off and pickup since we had some challenging transportation logistics. Good to know we have a great option for Moon!”


“Taylor is awesome! She gave my 11 year old pup the care she needs, being the pampered pooch she is. Taylor sent updates with pictures and assured me that Maddy’s stay was going well for everyone… Maddy, Taylor, her sweet daughter & pup Chico. Maddy is looking forward to her next sleep over with Taylor’s family. 🐶🐾”


“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”


“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”


“We are so grateful to have found Kim to care for our dog Mochi while we were on a trip! She is accommodating, communicative and kind. We did not have to worry about leaving our dog with her and knew that Mochi would enjoy being around her dog as well. We got lots of pictures and Mochi got lots of exercise and rest too! I would not hesitate to ask Kim for her help in the future.”


“Very hospitable and attentive. Sent many photos of my dog, playing with other dogs, chewing squeaky toys they gave him, playing ball, and resting with the pack. My dog was happy and in good health when I picked him up. I will have no stress about leaving him there again.”


“Kevin is very nice and he treated my dog with lots of love and walked him regularly. My dog was not big on eating his first day and Kevin expressed his concern early and kept me posted on his progress. It didn't take ling for my dog to fit right in with the new space. I appreciated all of the pictures and commentary on his activity. Will definitely book Kevin again!”


“Susan was such a wonderful sitter for our dogs Libby and Ginger. She’s clearly a dog lover, and kept us updated on their daily adventures with her. We have an older dog who sometimes needs medication management and she was very comfortable with the possibility of administering medication. Susan was a great communicator and we will definitely have our dogs stay with her in the future.”


“Kate was amazing with Max. Her space was clean and welcoming. I think Max had more fun with Kate than he does at home! Will definitely use Kate’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”


“I can’t say enough about Julie-Ann! From the moment that my wife & I met her we felt completely comfortable with her. We used her services twice and both times were very positive experiences. She stayed in touch from start to finish with updates as well as plenty of photos. And she was very flexible with us as we were on vacation and timing wasn’t always easy to predict! Gizmo came home happy and healthy and I would use and recommend Julie-Ann again 100%!! Mark”


“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”
