Nelia is the BEST dog sitter that I have ever had. Very personable, professional and caring. She follows my instructions completely and sends frequent updates with photos. She walks him everyday and her fenced in backyard is a bonus. She truly cares about giving my dog a wonderful experience, with lots of love from her and her young children. Quick response and flexible to meet my last-minute needs. Will definitely book again!!

We would absolutely use Victoria again. She took our last minute booking request, took great care of Olive, and was very communicative throughout. She even gave Olive some of her dogs' food when Olive ran out (our fault). I don't like to board Olive when I can avoid it, but she was in great hands with Victoria and I would feel very comfortable leaving her there again. Victoria clearly loves dogs and wants the best for them. Olive also seemed to warm up pretty quickly, which made me feel even better. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girl!

Raeann was great with my dog! My dog is very anxious so I was hesitant about leaving him. We set up a meet and great prior to my trip and all my hesitations were gone. She kept me updated constantly and sent pics during the course of my trip to keep me updated. She took him for walks, played with him and made a comfortable environment for him. I will definitely use raeann again.

Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!

Karen watched my two big Berner boys for the first time for a week while we were on our family vacation. Communication was great, we got a some cute photos, and she took excellent care of them both. They are sweet, but they are ALOT of dog to handle!😂 She also has a large fenced in backyard, which my boys need for some daily outdoor playtime. We will definitely be using Karen again! Highly recommend!

My husband and I needed a sitter short notice and Rich came to the rescue. We needed someone to board our 1 year old crazy Samoyed pup and Rich welcomed him into his home with open arms. He sent us photos and videos while we were away and you could tell our pup just had the best time playing. Thank you for being so accommodating and caring. We are excited to have found a sitter close to home we can trust while we are away and look forward to taking him back next time!

Michael and his family did a great job watching Samson for his extended (12 day) stay. Samson was treated like one of their own and well taken care of. We had no concerns and Samson came home exhausted. We appreciate their hospitality and genuine concern for our dog. I would recommend and book with them again in the future.

Sara was perfect. I booked her last minute for the first time and she did an amazing job caring for my dogs, one of which is a senior dog that needs special care. I was very anxious to leave her but Sara was very reassuring and communicated very well. She didn’t miss a beat giving my dog her medications and sent plenty of updates. When I picked my dogs up, I could just tell they were comfortable and had a great stay. Absolutely plan to use Sara again.

Raeann's care for our pup was wonderful! He found a home-away-from-home in her space, and enjoyed his typical schedule and routine with bonus trips and outings with Raeann. He received SO much love from her and her family, and she provided our family with daily updates and photos so we could see our sweet boy while we were away. We will definitely be using Raeann again!

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we connected, it was clear how much Nelia genuinely cares about dogs. While I was away, she sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was not only well taken care of, but also happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog. I highly recommend Nelia to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I will definitely book with her again!

Cindy is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had. She took care of Copper like one of her own! Walked him several times per day even though they were very short walks because of his old age. She was communicative and easy to worth with. I also love the fact that she didn’t have a lot of other animals since that can overwhelm my dog. I would recommend her to anyone! 🧡

Kalyn did an amazing job caring for Canela! She kept us at ease by sharing photos upon request and made sure Canela was well fed (Kalyn kindly cooked Canela's raw meat mix to medium-well daily), well rested (allowed on furniture, Canela loves sleeping on the couch), and free to roam the house comfortably (Canela found her favorite window in the house while she interned for the neighborhood watch). Kayln was also VERY accommodating for when our returning flight was delayed 3 days. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you!
