1. Michelle T.

“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”


2. Emily B.

“Cannot say enough great things about Emily! She was able to watch Arlo last minute and Arlo had a great time with her and her doggo. She even sent us incredible holiday photos of him!! Will definitely be visiting her again soon.”


3. Amy M.


“Amy and Kris did a great job caring for my dog Piper. They sent pictures everyday and also helped to get her more social with other dogs. They will be my choice anytime I need to go out of town.”


4. Matt M.

“I can’t say thank Matt enough! He is an amazing host. As a new dog dad after more than 20 yrs, I was a little panicked trying to figure out who to trust with my rescue pup for the night. After a simple Google search, I came across Matt’s profile. Read the reviews, the number of repeat stays and decided to download this app. Matt arranged a meet and greet. He put me at ease right away and Sawyer enjoyed the brief meeting. Booking was simple. Drop off and pick up were super easy and convenient. Sawyer had a great say and I couldn’t be happier! I’d recommend Matt to friends and family without hesitation.”




5. Amanda E.

“I felt very good about leaving my dog with Amanda. I was gone almost a whole week but because of all the pictures and texts it didn’t seem that long. Amanda will definitely be my go to sitter the next time I need one.”


6. Blythe R.

“Blythe was excellent!! My pup likes to be the only dog in the home, so Blythe gave him all the love and attention he needs. They went on lots of walks and had lots of play time. She sent me lots of updates and pics throughout his 6 day stay. Great with communication and flexible to accommodate needs (I use a FI GPS collar because my pup is an escape artist). I definitely recommend her and will be booking her again for sure!”


7. Amy M.

“My puppies had a great time with Amy and Sofia - well cared for and loved! I could tell they were happy when I picked them up and the photos during their stay were adorable! I've already booked 2 more stays!!”


8. Jeffrey H.

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”




9. Cyndi M.


“We were a little concerned when we left our puppy with Cindy as it was his first time away from us for so long. However, Cindy took real good care of him and sent us lot of pics to keep us updated. Looks like Ace had lot of fun with her. We will definitely consider her again for our next vacation. Highly recommended!”


10. Julie W.


“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”




11. DAMACIA J.

“Damacia took great care of Toby when I was out. Always kept me updated with pictures and messages. Toby came back home very happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Damacia for future trips.”


12. Alexandra O.

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Cindy was super responsive and treated my dog like family! He had a great time with her and I felt comfortable and confident during his stay with Cindy!”


16. Maggie S.


“Ellie had a great stay with Maggie. Maggie was very warm and welcoming - nice fenced backyard. Ellie seemed very comfortable during the meet and greet, and also when I dropped her off for her stay. When we picked her up she was happy. We will definitely use Maggie again.”


17. Sheri J.

“Sheri and her family took wonderful care of Kimber. He went on fun adventures and clearly received a lot of love and attention. I could not be happier to have found such an amazing sitter. 100/10!!!!!! Kimber can't wait to go back.”
