“Paige was an excellent caretaker, communicator, and she was even very flexible when we needed to add a day! Our pup had playmates and she came up with ideas to keep him happy and fulfilled while we were gone. Even gave me an idea or two! We appreciate how well she cared for our pup, and we would book again!”
“Ashleigh and Bill took incredible care of my pup while I was out of town for a week. They sent plenty of pictures of him playing with their dogs and made sure I knew he was well taken care of. I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for great care, and to those with dogs that love to play!”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Natalie was awesome with our puppy. She kept me informed and sent pictures/videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Natalie!!”

“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“Looks like Leo really enjoyed his time there with Heavyn, and her pups. She was sweet to him and he clearly fell in love with here, also she is a very kind person to speak with. I will definitely keep coming back for boarding.”
“Carol and Jessica are the BEST!! I don't like to leave my chihuahua with anyone due to his seizures. But after the last trip we took him on, we knew it was best to keep him with a sitter. I researched and checked reviews on so many sitters. I wanted to make sure he was taken care of and his meds was given to him. I found Carol and Jessie, we texted and finally set up a time to bring him by to see how he does with them. My husband and I knew after that meeting, that we can comfortably leave him with them and not have to worry so much. We were gone for 7 days and I got pictures and texts several times a day. I could see my little Lovecraft was having fun and very comfortable with them. Several pictures showed him snuggling with Jessie. I would definitely recommend them and would definitely rebook when needed”

“Sara and her family were AMAZING!!! We have a 4 month old puppy and we were nervous about leaving him and, we had to leave him overnight. Sara took him into her home and not only loved him like it was her own but took him on so many walks, play activities and puppy training. She went far beyond my expectations, nearly to the point where I felt bad taking my puppy home as he was having so much fun! I am so grateful we found Sara!”
