“We had a wonderful experience with Christine. Our dog stayed at her home for two nights and was so well cared for. Christine sent us pictures throughout the day and kept us consistently updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that her whole family truly loved and welcomed our dog as part of their home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend Christine to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy sitter. 🐾❤️”
“Great experience for my Dude! He was very well taken care of. She was mindful of his skin condition and even attempted to bath him even when she was not asked too. Pictures were great especially the one with cinderellas castle in the background. Thank you Monica and family.”
“Leila was a great host for Tye. He enjoyed his stay. Very welcoming and friendly and with this being my first time Leila made my experience a good one and took away all the anxiety I had. I would definitely recommend Leila.”
“Amazing puppy sitters for my babies. I got multiple pictures every day. Plenty of walks. And my pups were so happy and content when I picked them up. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“This was our first booking with Emily to take care for our little Gigi during a recent extended trip and hopefully will not be the last. Emily took great care of our Gigi and kept us up to date on how she was doing, sending pictures and videos, which really helped us be at ease while we were away. Our precious was really spoiled and we think she was actually sad after we brought her back home, she must have been missing her other fury friends at Emily’s house and her good care. Would definitively leave Gigi in her care again without hesitation.”
“Elaine was great with my pup Nugget. She sent daily pictures and updated me each evening about Nugget's day. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur baby was in such good hands. Will definitely book Elaine again!”
“Scotty was fantastic with my dog Chloe and he made the whole process really easy. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he watches. I especially appreciated that he even came to pick up my dog, which was a huge help. I’d definitely trust him with my dog again and highly recommend him to others.”
“Joanne was fantastic and made me feel she would protect (and spoil) my two high-energy dogs. Joanne was very responsive and kept us updated frequently. I would 100% recommend. Thank you, Joanne!”
“My pup came home happy and tired!!! Ana was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the whole process and made sure to send me a picture of my girl every day!! I would absolutely bring her back and recommend Ana to anyone!!!”
“Seb was great with Prince. He kept me updated and took plenty of pictures. He was very patient with Prince too since he still has accidents every now and again. I would absolutely book with Seb again!”
“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”
“Maria was very kind to my senior dog. Very accommodating! Quick response, and updated me on how my pup was doing. It was so nice to know that Jasmine was taken care of while I was away. Thank you!!”
“Scott was incredible with Mocha. My family was away on vacation when a huge storm washed away the local highway. Scott brought his family and our Mocha to safety until it was safe to return. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if she was in a kennel with 30 other dogs and that happened!! Scott also sent us pictures every day and we could see she was very relaxed and happy to be there. Thank You Scott!!”
“Shantell was amazing and so patient with us when our plans changed. She sent us pictures and updates frequently which was very comforting. Our dog even went back in the house instead of immediately leaving with us when we picked him up. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely book again.”
“Heaven is an absolute amazing individual. She is so kind and caring to people and animals. I have a big dog who is extremely hyper and he loved her. Normally I worry about him and I honestly didn’t have one worry. That’s how comfortable she made me feel throughout this whole process. I will 100% use her services again. I definitely recommend her!!!! Thank you Heaven for being so amazing with Grizzly.”
“Laurie was great! Very nice lady. As soon as we met her I knew our pets would be safe with her.She updated me everyday, sent us videos or pictures. My furbabies had a great stay and didnt want to leave at all. They were having a great time with Laurie! Highly recommend her. Thanks Laurie!”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Sharon and her family. When we first met with Sharon all of out worries immediately disappeared. She is very kind and responsible. Our Cindy felt at home right away. We never had a reason to worry throughout our vacation as Sharon was always in touch. We received daily photographs and reports on how our pet was feeling. All our recommendations were followed. We were very happy with Sharon. Cindy even came home with gifts 😊 Thank you for taking care of our pet while we were away!!! We will definitely contact you again!”
“This was last minute! I contacted here to meet the night before. And after we met we were able to drop our Luna the next day , while we went to camelback She was really good with our dog and sent videos and pics throughout the day. Definitely would recommend on your next visit near the poconos.”
