Iso seemed to have the best time. He was always so happy and engaged in all the update pictures Lawrencia sent! He came home all freshly bathed and looking handsome. Will definitely be booking with her again! 10/10 experience.

I recently had the opportunity to use Marianna for my pet, and I am pleased to share my experience with fellow pet owners seeking a reliable and caring service for their dogs. From the initial contact to the final pickup, my experience with Marianna was nothing short of exceptional. Her genuine affection for my girls was evident in their interactions. Mari was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, communicated regularly with updates and photos, which eased my mind while I was away. Our girls returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for, which speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianna to anyone in need of dog-sitting services. Her commitment to providing the highest level of care, coupled with her compassion, makes Marianna a top choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.

Jacob and his family are wonderful pet sitters! They had Jükka for five nights and I added another night midway through with zero problems! They were so friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates multiple times a day. Not a worry in the world as I was six states away because I knew they had it all under control. My dog is a big dog and eats three times a day and they were great with any concerns and following his routine. Jükka came home smelling fresh and is a clean and happy boy. Could not recommend them enough! Jükka will definitely be coming back!

Madelyn and Britton were awesome boarding our dog Scout for the weekend! We had a last minute trip come up and they took Scout on late notice, provided plenty of updates & photos and made sure to ask any questions they had with her care and schedule. We now have a happy, tuckered out puppy. We’ll definitely be using them in the future and would highly recommend!

Jamie is the best dog sitter and walker could ever ask you! Not only that, she is a great friend, and human. As a dog mom I only trust my dogs with select individuals and she is one of them. She is the sweetest to my dogs and treats them like her own! Cannot recommend Jamie enough! Very thankful to have found her to care for my doggos. 💗
