“Stephanie and her whole family was sweet with my dog. She gave daily updates and even sent videos/pics I highly recommend if you're in a pinch and have to go out of state via airport!”
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable.

Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”

I can't recommend Lori enough and would absolutely reach out to her again when the need arises. Thank you, Lori!”
