1. Henry & Cheryle B.

“Henry and Cheryle were very caring and loving with our dog Roger. They treated him like their own dog. Roger got to go on walks in the woods, and even got a bath. We are very content and satisfied with Henry and Cheryle’s care for Roger. I highly recommend them as pet sitters. If I could, I wouldn’t give them five stars, but ten instead. Thank you so much!!!!!!”

“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”

17. Lawdy L.

“Lawdy was great to work with! She watched our two dogs for almost a full week, after being asked very last minute, and she gave them the love and attention they needed while she had them. We also had our return flight canceled because of the Microsoft crash (July 2024) and we needed to get home, so we rented a car to drive home instead. It took us an unexpected extra day to get home to pick up our fur-babies, and she made it so easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Lawdy for your dogs. 💕”
