1. Patricia T.
“Patricia and her kids were wonderful! My pup had the best time in their presence, and we got daily updates on his day, which was super awesome since this was his first time away from family. I would highly recommend Patricia’s services—she is kind, communicative, and flexible with pick-up/drop-off times. Thank you, Patricia!!”
2. Drew R.
“I am so glad that I found Drew! I left my shepherd, Ellis, with him for four days. I was looking for a sitter with no other pets, a big yard, and who works from home. Drew ticked all of those boxes so I drove out from NYC for our meet and greet and immediately felt very comfortable leaving Ellis with him. His yard is great, he was warm but not overly hyper so as not to over excited my dog, and he sent lots of pictures and updates of their walks and time playing fetch. By the second day, my dog was sleeping in bed with him! Drew is definitely now my go to sitter and the fact that he can drop Ellis off for me is huge because it costs way more for me to rent a car. 10/10 recommend!”
3. Michelle H.
“Michelle and husband Rob were very nice and accommodating. Beau looked fine upon his return. It is not always easy with a partially blind and deaf dog. I got updates which made my hospital stay much better. Would recommend for any one to use her.”

9. Ajanay D.
“Ajanay is the best!! We needed a sitter urgently, and within 2hours of booking, Chester was at Ajanays house for three days! I would highly recommend leaving your fur babies with her as she will take great care! Thank you so much Ajanay, we have found our sitter for future :)”
10. Karren N.
“Karren is absolutely amazing! Our 1 year old lab was very happy and well taken care of for a week by Karren. She even took care of his ear drops 2x a day which was extremely helpful. Every day she would send us updates and cute photos! We strongly recommend her and would definitely use her again. So happy we found her. She even washed his blankets before pickup. Our puppy was a picky eater, but upon returning from Karren’s after a week, he seems to be eating much better as well! Karren is an absolute star!”

13. Laura F.
“I am so grateful to have found Laura and her husband for my dog's boarding experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he would be in safe hands. Sonny is usually a little anxious, but he quickly adapted to the homey environment and was so comfortable there. Laura was incredibly attentive, providing plenty of playtime, cuddles and sticking to his usual schedule. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I can tell Sonny had a blast! I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their pet. I'll definitely book again!”
14. Jill B.
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
15. Stephanie S.
“Stephanie was the perfect choice to take care of Merlin for our long vacation! She was extremely thorough and thoughtful with her questions and updates. It gave us peace of mind to know that she had every aspect of Merlin’s care under control while we were away!”
16. Kathleen F.
“Kathleen made our pup Inu feel right at home. We can tell she gave Inu lots of love—he is coming home a very happy dog. Will definitely reach out to Kathleen again in the future for Inu’s pet care.”
17. Elias N.
“When plans changed Elias was willing to watch my dog an extra day and night on short notice. He went above and beyond. Thank you Elias and family!”
18. Roseanna L.
“I could not have selected a better person to care for Molly. Both Roseanna and her lovely boys gave my fur baby the best love and attention I could ask for. I felt 100% comfortable from the time I dropped her off until I picked her up. She already misses her new doggie friends she made and she will be returning in June for several days. I highly recommend Roseanna (and her boys who love the doggies too) to anyone who wants their animals in a loving and caring environment. Thank you !!!!”
19. Amanda T.
“Great communication & awesome picture updates!! My dog LOVED playing with Amanda’s dog as well! Would definitely book again & highly recommend!!”
