“Leila was very nice, friendly and accomodating to our furbabies needs. Our babies didnt want to come home at all because of so much fun they are having with them. Everyday she sends pictures of updates. She was easy to communicate with and we didnt have any issues at all. We felt comfortable leaving our furbabies with her and family. We will book her again next time. Thank you Leila for taking care of our dogs. i highly recommend your service! :)”
2. Monica B.
“Monica took such great care of our puppy! We were nervous leaving him for so long for the first time, but she made us feel so much better with daily updates and pictures. He seems to have had a great time with lots of walks and attention, and she even bathed him and washed his blankets before we picked him up. We would recommend her to anyone!”

“If you would like a SUPER dog sitter for your fur baby, Shantel is your answer! She was a wonderful communicator during pre-care set up and all thru our fur baby's stay. (Although she did spoil him just a bit)! There is no question in our family that she will be the only person we request in the future if we are traveling in her area. We hope to see her in Sept and next summer again! THANKS to you Shontel and Jose for being Super awesome to our dog Zero. He misses you both!”

“Halona was wonderful with Rocky. We got lots of pictures and we know our big fella had a good time. Rocky was being watched during our wedding weekend and Halona was able to bring Rocky out to us for a few quick pictures. It was a very busy day with plans changing and it was such a bonus that she could work with us. Thank you!”
11. Shannon R.
“I have been looking so long for someone like Shannon and her family. First we had a meet and greet, which I could see my pups felt comfortable right away. She allowed them to meet her kids and dog. All the dogs ran around the backyard and got to know each other. When my pups stayed with Shannon, I received pictures throughout their stay which made us feel at ease. I could see my pups felt right at home being with Shannon and her family. I would highly recommend Shannon. We will definitely be using Shannon again.”
