“Rachel was amazing! She sent us pictures and updates during stay and let us know of any issues our pup was having. My sweet girl has food allergies and Rachel reached out to let us know plus did what she could to help. Will 100% be using her again in the future.”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“Carolyn was amazing with our cat Chester! She sent pics, kept us updated, and Chester was calm and happy when we picked him up! Could not have asked for a better experience!”
“Doug is a very thoughtful and kind sitter. He took excellent care of my elderly puppy and kept me updated on how she was doing. I am very thankful that he was able to take care of her while we were away!”
“Lesley was such a great person to trust with my puppy. Not only did she take great care of her but she also sent photos with updates and of the dogs playing and having fun. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Finn loves Barrie so much! When we pull up to her house, he starts getting so excited and vocal. By the time we get out of the car, he is galloping up to her front door to see her. I know he has the best time every time to he visits!”
“Sorelwing is an excellent pet caretaker. The last time we went out of town my dog lost 8 lbs and I received no phone calls from the Dogstop in Trussville. She was very happy and seemed to really enjoy her stay with Sorelwing. A nice fenced in back yard and she sent plenty of pics and videos of my baby enjoying her stay. Highly recommended”
“Fantastic sitter! He was the third I’ve used on here and by far the best! He took Sammy last minute which was such a help for me. He treated him like his own and sent pictures and updates which I really appreciate. I get anxious leaving him with strangers. He put all concern a side. Don’t hesitate hiring this guy! One of the best in care and price! 🐕”
“Ray was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My two are very new to boarding. They've never spent more than a day away from home, and with someone they didn't know. But for the most part, they did great. There were a few hiccups on their end, but Ray handled it beautifully. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you all booking with him. Again, I can't say it enough, he was absolutely AMAZING. Even with my Bipolar Dino and my ADHD Harley.”
“We LOVE Jennifer!! She personally text and sent pics everyday along with keeping us posted in the River app. She kept us updated on every aspect of their day. Both Jennifer and her entire family made us so comfortable leaving our fur babies for a week. Will use her again!”
“Karla did an amazing job caring for Maverick. She was very attentive and always sent updates! Will definitely book again in the future! Thank you Karla for taking such great care of Mr. Maverick!”
“Rachel went above and beyond caring for our dog. She sent us pictures and updates every day. It was a huge peace of mind knowing she was happy and playing with other dogs. I loved the picture updates of their trips to the park and pet stores. I highly recommend Rachel and will be using her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Laderius and his family took good care of Lottie. We recently moved to AL and I didn’t know how busy it is during spring break. Laderius was able to accommodate Lottie in such short notice. I received pictures and updates about Lottie and she looked happy.”
“Ashley was wonderful. She kept me updated with daily photos and videos. My dog seemed to acclimate really well with her during the stay. I was very happy to get those daily updates. Thanks so much!”
“David and his wife were kind, thoughtful, and communicative throughout our entire trip. They have a beautiful home (with a big fenced in yard for zoomies) that your pets will love. They also sent lots of pictures and let me know how the doggies were doing every day. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐶❤️🐶”
