“Lexzee was amazing! She was so incredibly thoughtful and kind to our pups. She went above and beyond with everything she did. Our dogs loved staying with her. We can’t wait to use her again and again!”

“Sarah and her family are great! Very nice people and I could immediately tell upon meeting them that my puppy would be in good hands while i was on vacation. Sarah sent me pictures and videos of him and how he was doing the whole time and we couldn't be happier with how she took care of him! Would highly recommend and would book again 100%”

“Jen took amazing care of our girl, Honey! She was very accommodating for drop off, and pickup. We highly recommend her for your fur babies, and we will definitely have Jen care for Honey in the future.”

“Marie and her husband were awesome! They were flexible with us on the drop off and pickup times based on our flight schedule. Dogs came home worn out from constant playtime with their dog. We received regular updates and pictures on how our pups were doing. Their huge, fenced-in backyard was excellent for the dogs to run around safely. Wouldn't hesitate to have Marie care for our dogs again in the future.”

“Danielle watched my dog Stella for the first time, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person. She was caring, reliable, and treated Stella like her own. I felt completely at ease the entire time. Highly recommend! 🐾”

“Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.”

“D was phenomenal!! She was super flexible and communicated with us the entire stay. As soon as I met her, I could feel her love for all animals and breathed a sigh of relief. It was then I knew my babies would be well taken care of. Our kids had such a great time and we will be definitely be using her again!!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our Golden Doodle! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. Lauren was incredibly attentive, providing regular updates and pictures that put our minds at ease. Our pup came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Mai was amazing with our dogs! We received many photos/videos/updates often. Our dogs were pretty much immediately comfortable with being at Mai’s house which is set up to be very welcoming to all dogs. Mai enjoyed spending time with Jax and Izzy and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend!”


“Kara did a great job with our rambunctious pups this past weekend! Kara's puppy Kodiac is a sweetheart and all the dogs got along very well! We received some really great photos and updates during our trip and the pups were exhausted on our return! Will definitely hire Kara again!”
