Jenevieve was great to work with. Good communication and had a nice place for the dogs to stay. My dogs were exhausted when we got home so I’m guessing they played and got lots of attention. Would book a stay here again ;)

Alice was an amazing care taker for our chihuahua for a week around spring break. She was super easy to communicate with through the process, sent regular updates/photos, and my dog came home super happy and well cared for. Thanks!

Emily is a great pet sitter! She has taken care of both of my pups and my cat on multiple occasions. Her home is spacious with room for my pups to roam inside and out. She is dependable, kind, and very caring toward my pets.

Samantha is the real MVP! She watched our dog, Barry, over our wedding and even brought him by our photos so he could be in a couple during the day! Barry had been really stressed out by our stress pre-wedding, but she took amazing care of him even though he wasn’t his usual self. She treated him to a pup cup, and he had fun playing with her dogs and snuggling up in her bed. She sent us numerous updates and photos, making it possible for us to not worry about Barry while we were at our wedding. She was seriously a lifesaver, and we’re so happy we found her! We also had to have my husband’s parents pick Barry up since we were on our honeymoon, and she was fine with that too. Seriously, she’s amazing!

T.j and Stephanie were so great with Luna. She has loads of energy and came home exhausted so I know she had lots of play time. They checked in and let me knew how she was doing which I really appreciated. Would definitely rebook.

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!

Priscilla and her partner would very flexible, quick to respond and kind. Provided lots of photos of our dogs and followed our care instructions to a T, this was the first time I didn’t have to worry about my dogs while on vacation and I’m grateful to have had such an positive experience and be able to leave this review for others. I will be booking with Priscilla again as she met my standards of dog care.
