“Margaret was amazing with my puppy, Chimmy while I was in the hospital. I booked last minute late at night when I found my current sitter was willing to leave her in her crate for over 15 hours. She picked Chimmy up and was so patient while she adjusted, updated me on her medications, and all the pictures I received not only let me see my girl, but also see how well she was treated and loved. All the adventures Chimmy had and all the snuggles, I knew she was in good hands! Margaret will definitely be our go to sitter from now on. Thank you so much!”

“I highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! She and her husband took excellent care of my doggo for a weekend while I was away, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the initial meet-and-greet to the regular updates and photos during my trip, Katie showed exceptional professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dog-loving sitter, look no further than Katie! I'll definitely be booking with her again for future trips. Five 🐾”
“Rachel was the best sitter we could’ve hoped for! She deeply understands dogs, has the perfect environment, and it is totally upfront about what she can and can’t accommodate. She communicated well and took extra care to make sure our little escape artist didn’t pull off one of her tricks. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely take Dolly to her again.”

“Jacob was amazing with my big sweet boy who previously had not had much interaction with other dogs. I had peace of mind knowing Harrison was in good hands with Jacob and his sweet furbaby! Jacob kept me updated on Harrison throughout his stay. I’m worried my dog won’t want to come home hahahaa!”
“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”

“Our dog had to get stitches on her paw just a week before her stay with Laura and Manuel, so I let them know about the situation and they were totally on board with following whatever was needed to help her heal. She had a great time as always with the dogs that were there and they did a great job caring for her with her special instructions. I’m so glad we were able to still go on our trip and know she’d be well cared for!”
“Another wonderful experience with Lauren and Cris. This go round we reached out about a week before our need… they were so accommodating and were able to make it work. Upon our arrival, Bode nuzzled up to Cris immediately. Thank you for all you do for our pupper!”

“Laura has been amazing, my boyfriend and I went on a family trip to Cedar Point for a weekend, and had to leave her behind for the first time. She sent multiple pictures of them playing and going on walks, and made sure to update me with how Bo was doing. She met me for a meet and greet prior to sitting, and asked all of the right questions to let me know she would take amazing care of my pup. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her pet sit again!”

“JoAnn took excellent care of our Yorkie Poodle. There was frequent feedback about his stay and how he was doing including pictures and videos every few hours which made us not worry about him while we were on vacation. He got more care than at home when we are normally busy with our work. He looked comfortable in JoAnn's house and looked happy to hang out with other dogs. We would definitely book again when needed in future.”
“Susan was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, Meredith. She even went to the store to get a healthier cat food for Meredith because her tummy was getting upset. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for their furry friend to have a nice stay. Will be booking with her again. Thank you Susan!”
“My Labrador Retriever was very well cared for and had a great stay. Linda is very prompt in replying to messages. I received several texts messages with pictures and video of my dogs stay which made me feel very comfortable that she was receiving good care while I was away. Looking forward to booking more overnight boarding with Linda.”
