1. Azure S.
“Azure was phenomenal and made the care and safety of our pup a priority! He was well taken care of, got to play with other pups, and she ensured that he was safe. We would 100% recommend time and time again!”
2. Pete & Amy N.
“We couldn't be more happy to have found Pete and Amy! They made Maverick feel right at home. It was such a comfort knowing that Mav was well taken care of. They provided text updates and videos. It was so good to see Maverick playing with their other dogs. Mav took to Pete right away. This made my heart happy. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing that Mav was in good hands, and did not have to be kenneled. I cannot recommend Pete and Amy enough :) We plan on using them in the future. SO HAPPY to have found 2 people to leave our little nervous guys with.”
3. Amrutha V.
“Amrutha is so kind, patient, easy going and professional. My dog had a great time at their house and we received lots of pics of our dog smiling and having a great time. I would definitely recommend them!”
4. Karisa E.
“Karisa was AMAZING! Not only did she send me pics of Dez while she sat him, but she also gave updates! Her daughter made doggy treats for Dez, she took Dez on walks and gave us a thank you card! Karisa and family were the kindest people and we will DEFINITELY book her again! Thank you for being awesome, Karisa!”
5. Sharese & James C.
“This couple was so great with Sophie! They sent a lot of pictures and updates. They have. Great fenced in yard to play in. They took care of my dog like he was one of theirs. Would definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future!!”
6. Nan D.
“An even better 2nd booking experience. Nan and her family and little Henry are really good to my baby boy. She is really a Nana to him. She even knew to take him for a walk to help him use up his excess energy, which I thought was awesome. He is SUPER energetic. I highly recommend and Kai and I are now official return clients!”
7. Greg F.
“Our second time using Greg, both dogs ran to the front door like they were home!!! Best feeling in the world! They are so loved and cared for here!!!”
8. Agnatha W.
“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”
9. Jessica A.
“Pepper had a phenomenal weekend with Jessica! She's loving and kind and Pepper was spoiled with all the attention he could get. I cannot say enough great things about her and would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. Pepper looks forward to his next visit as well! Such a relief to know when I can't have my giant fur baby with me that he is so well cared for.”
10. Anne T.
“Anne was great, Boo really seemed comfortable at her home. We know because when we picked her up she was barking at other dogs walking outside, so she must have felt right at home. Anne sent lots of photos and updates while we were gone. She seemed to genuinely care not just for Boo but for the other two dogs we saw in her care at drop off. We highly recommend Anne and will use her again.”
11. Lyndsey B.
“Lyndsey was fantastic! She took great care of my girl and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. She kept her active and I could tell she was well loved during her stay. I don't think my dog wanted to come home after all the fun she had with Lyndsey! I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for any of my future trips!”
12. Rachel M.
“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”
13. Erika H.
“Smokey has stayed with Erika twice. He gets plenty of play time during his stay and is always calm and happy upon pick up. We will continue to book with Erika as long as she’ll have us!”
14. Katelin T.
“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”
15. Quimyia B.
“Quimyia is great. She was available on short notice. Her dog is super friendly. While I was gone she took multiple pics and videos while providing updates. My puppy came home happy and clean!”
16. Samanta W.
“Samanta was very accommodating and took good care of our two pups. She was very welcoming and listened to our tips and suggestions about the pups day to day routines. She gave us good feedback and let us know how they got along while we were gone. We would definitely have her watch our pups again.”
17. Lanae K.
“We had an excellent experience with Lanae. We have had her take care of our animals a couple of times now and both experiences were very good. Excellent communication and pet care.”

19. Laura U.
“Laura and her family were very welcoming to Lily and was very flexible to work with my schedule. She treated Lily like family and gave her lots of treats and love. Will be booking with her again!”
