1. Elisa P.

“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”

“Sarah and Aaron made our little King Charles feel like the Princess she believes herself to be, and she was very happy during her 15-day stay with them. They sent regular updates showing her daily life, and they did a great job keeping up with her heart medication. Our Dani will stay with Aaron and Sarah again and again.”

“Evelyn, made sure our Bo was comfortable with her and the space. She is affectionate and knowledgeable about dogs! She was very attentive to our Bo and I received video, pictures and notifications of walks, etc. I felt really at ease leaving him. She even gave us some home made dog treats to take home with us. We will definitely be using Evelyn again!”

“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”


14. Frances B.

“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


15. Carol C.

“I was so comfortable with using Carol and trusted her so I was able to relax. Having pictures sent is such a relief! I would love to use her again.”




16. Ashley N.

“Lilo had such a great time at Ashley’s! She is very attentive and took such a great care of Lilo! She sent me updated often and pictures. I was nervous at first as this was Lilo’s first time, but with all of the updated that went away very quickly!”

“Tina was great watching our pup! She was communicative and professional. We got plenty of updates throughout the stay and know our dog was well taken care of…getting all the love and pets!”


18. Marycarmen B.

19. Lori M.

“Lori and Jim has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my fur baby! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and know how to care for them. They were punctual, communicative, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
