15. Jaden B.
“Jaden was an awesome sitter. He was prompt in communication, followed up appropriately, and you could tell my dog had a great time during his visit. Jaden is a dog lover, and its evident he’s very experienced with animal care by all the care questions he asked about that I would have forgotten to share. He sent fun video updates and photos of my dog having a blast with him and his girlfriend. We will definitely ask Jaden in the future to dog sit before looking elsewhere. You can’t go wrong with booking him!”

“Briana and her husband were great with our Dakota! They shared pictures and communicated with us daily. They have a large fenced in backyard which was great for the pups to run and play in. They do daily enrichment activities and treats with the pups to keep them entertained. We know Dakota had a great stay!”

20. Cory G.
“Cory took great care of our dog while we were away. Our dog can have periods of anxiety and does not do well with other animals, he was able to handle her behaviors without a problem. He sent us regular updates and kept her active all weekend. She was happy and worn out when we picked her up. We would definitely recommend and plan to use him again for future trips!”
