“We absolutely loved Carrie and all her pups. Our baby, Tiffany had a blast. She was always doing something. Carrie made her homemade healthy treats. Fed her well. Loved her and treated as if she was her own. We will definitely be using Carrie again and Tiffany can’t wait!”
“My sweet cat loved staying with Carla! She had enough privacy to do her kitty thing and enough activity to keep her little mind occupied. Will definitely book again. Thank you!!”
“Deborah was absolutely amazing with my pups! I’m so happy that I found her! One of my pups has quite a few quirks and Deborah was so patient and kind with her 🥹 my pups were part of the family over the holiday, they loved our pups like their own! What a relief to find such a kind and caring sitter. Not only was she amazing with the dogs, she was also so patient with me having multiple travel delays. She is so sweet and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!”

“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“I’m a repeat customer, and as usual, Emmett and his wife took great care of my chocolate lab, Leia. Of course she was happy to see me when I picked her up, but I’m confident she also had a great time playing with Emmett’s pups for a couple of days, and was loved while she was in his care. Thanks!”

“Serenity has been an incredible dog sitter for our senior dog, Molly. She watches her for extended periods and always provides the most loving, safe, and comfortable environment while we’re away. Molly has elderly-dog needs, and Serenity is so patient, attentive, and accommodating to them. It gives us such peace of mind knowing Molly is so well cared for and genuinely loved in our absence. We are beyond thankful for Serenity and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care!”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
“Mack had the BEST time here while we were gone for a couple nights! We also got updates and pictures the entire time! He did great with their dog and we will DEFINITELY have Mack stay here again in the future. Our gentle giant felt right at home!”
“Michelle and her family took such great care of my nervous pup. They made him feel really comfortable and sent great updates. I would feel confident leaving Chance in their care in the future!”

“Lexi was fantastic. Zona loved having a big yard and friends to play with during her stay. Communication was prompt and she sent photos throughout the day which was awesome. Would recommend her to everyone!”
“Michele and her family were fantastic! They took the time to get to know my fur baby and it was obvious from the start that they cared for him like their own! Opie loved their fenced in backyard and playing with the kids. He slept the entire day after pick up! Will definitely be using them in the future!”

Everything went great! Allowed me to hang out for a bit on drop off to make sure my dog got along with the others that were there and get him acclimated. Kept me updated that things were going well during visit. Communicated very well up front and throughout. Will be going right back next time I need a dog sitter.
Alex did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Morty, while we were away on vacation. From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. He made sure Morty was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, happy and comfortable in our absence. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing Morty was in such good hands. It was obvious that he genuinely cared and treated Morty like his own. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Alex again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Shelby was wonderful to work with! She took Axel on daily walks and sent us lots of pictures and videos keeping up comforted that Axel was safe and happy while we were away. I will definitely use Shelby as our sitter again and highly recommend her to anyone else.
