Hillary was absolutely wonderful watching my pup Zephyr for the day. She sent pictures while Zeph was staying with her and kept me updated on details regarding how he was adjusting and feeling while in her care. It was clear to see how much she cared and prioritized my pups comfort over everything. We will absolutely be coming back and I look forward to zeph staying here again!!! :)

Damacia is an amazing sitter for my dog, Jazzy! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure Jazzy was well cared for the entire time. From the moment I met her at drop-off, she was so welcoming and kind. I also had a medical emergency at the airport and had to change my flight at the last minute. Danika was incredibly accommodating and allowed Jazzy to stay an extra night without hesitation. She responded quickly with genuine care and concern, which meant so much to me during a stressful situation. I truly appreciate her flexibility, professionalism, and kindness. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Donetta was great with Graham! I was a little worried leaving him because I wasn’t sure how he would adjust being gone overnight without seeing me. However, she sent pictures and she gave updates on how he was doing. I was very pleased with her services. I highly recommend Donetta, you won’t be disappointed she’s great with dogs.

Stacey is so great with my Puppy Poppy! We are still crate, potty and puppy manner training and she was able to keep up with training while we were away. I loved getting updates and pictures throughout the weekend and even was able to keep her an extra night because we were stuck in traffic and wouldn’t get back until later than expected. Poppy had a wonderful time and says she can’t wait until her next stay with her new friends!

I felt extremely comfortable she was able to give me updates & answer any questions I had in a timely manner. I have already rebooked! ☺️💕

I am so happy that I boarded my dog and my cat with Jakiya during my most recent trip out of state. For the 10 days she watched them, I could not possibly have asked for better care than they received. Jakiya is great about communication and sent pics and videos every day, and so I had complete peace of mind. And that, in and of itself, helped make my trip a good one. I can tell Jakiya loves animals, and her calm and friendly manner definitely helped both pets feel at ease. I feel that's particularly important to note because my cat is blind, and while he's a seasoned traveler he doesn't always relax quickly in new places. I'm also appreciative that Jakiya has a fenced yard, and I know my dog felt the same way! I never look forward to leaving my pets behind, but having great care for them makes me a lot more comfortable when traveling. I'll absolutely be checking in with Jakiya next time I have a trip to plan!

She lives on our baby like they’re her own and she updated us so consistently that we felt like he was with us. I’ve used sooo many dogsitters in the past having had dogs my whole life & none compare to her level of service !
