“Patricia seemed very caring from the very beginning. Her house is very spacious and her backyard is huge, with a lot of empty spaces for dogs to run around--that was perfect for our dog who is full of energy and loves to run around. Our dog stayed with Patricia for about one week. When I picked our dog up from Patricia's place, our dog was in very good spirits and showed a lot of affection towards Patricia, which must be because of the great care of Patricia. Patricia also packed everything neatly, which made the pick up very quick. The per-day fee was very reasonable as well. Overall, we are very happy and will use Patricia again.”


“Tom has about as nice of a setup as you could wish for to take care of your dog while you are traveling. He comes across as someone who loves dogs and knows how to take care of them. His property is amazing with huge open spaces that are fully fenced where dogs can run around and play. He was extremely accommodating with pickup and drop off times and Duran really enjoyed his time staying at the farm! Tom kept me updated with pictures and videos of Duran having a great time running around and playing with other dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving Duran with him and highly recommend him as a great dog sitter.”


“Sarah took great care of our Romeo while we went away for vacation. She provided pics and updates on how he was doing and even pics of him swimming in their pool which was an amazing perk because he loves being in the water. She has a beautiful home and a large backyard giving him plenty of space to enjoy. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”


“Capri is an awesome sitter. Sasha had a 4day 3night stay and we only have good things to say. She has a large fenced in back yard and provided us daily pics and short video updates. Will book again.”


“This was my first time leaving my giant baby teddy bear of a pupper Milo for a couple of days while my family and I were traveling. Vanessa was truly an angel and took care of my pup perfectly and sent me pictures and updates throughout the day everyday I was away. I didn’t have to worry one bit while my pupper was with Vanessa. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Milo over whenever we do need her help. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I haven’t even mentioned how sweet and caring she is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! :)”


“Corrine is great! i received pictures of my little man everyday and felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He slept in their bed and seemed very content the entire time (especially since he gets anxious). So happy and will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Anish was absolutely amazing with our dog Max. Having being a long term dog owner, he knew all about how to handle our dog Max . I felt at ease from the time Max was dropped off till the time we picked Max up. Anish took the extra effort to make sure Max was taken for walks even in the pouring rain, and give him plenty of exercise and company. Max returned home happy, rested & well exercised. I highly recommend Anish to take care of your pet, its their home away from home.”


“Ángela was an incredible person, lovely and really care about my dogs. My dogs stayed for 12 days with her and they were super happy at her house and with her, they played a lot in the secure fenced yard and she was updating me every day about their food and plays, I found the dogs when I returned very very happy and beautiful, she is a really trusting person, so I really appreciate and recommend her. I’m very happy and looking forward to booking soon for the next trip.”


“If you need somewhere for your dog to stay, look no further. My experience with Hedra was amazing. He was super nice and accommodating, and quick to respond to all my texts. But more importantly Hedra truly loves dogs. I could tell by the pics Hedra sent me that my dog was having a great time and really being cared for, and when I came to pick her up, it was quit apparent that she enjoyed her stay.”


“A home away from home! Steven made my dog feel right at home and safe when we were getting renovations done. Everyday I got an update and pic which gave us comfort. He also responded immediately to our messages. Highly recommend and will request him again in the future.”


“Jessica is very experienced, accommodating and welcoming. Our puppy felt perfectly at ease with big dogs and was not stressed at all. Jessica provided pictures and videos throughout his stay and we felt that our little Frenchie was in perfect hands. We are already booking his next stay.”


“We were on vacation for a few days. We felt secure about our dog. I felt that our dog was left in good hands with Yvette. She was really wonderful and caring towards our dog. We really appreciate her handling of our dog during our vacation.”


“Spooky simply loves going to the “Farm” to get loved on by Vickie and Heath, to exchange pleasantries with the horses(with a fence between), yelling (barking) at the neighbor’s chickens and, now, romping and playing with the other neighbor’s Golden. Highly recommend”


“Stephanie gave my two Yorkes excellent care. She has a lot of knowledge about dog care and their health. She went out of her way to make our two girls comfortable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone else.”


“Thanks Carly and family for taking care of Neo and Cleo ! Both my dog and cat seemed to have enjoyed their stay at your home. Nothing is better than seeing your furry friends happy, safe and comfortable on your return after 8 days !!!”


“Ashley did a fantastic job with watching my Bohdi! I know he’s not the easiest to watch because of his high energy… but Ashley and her family embraced Bohdi’s crazy personality and made him feel welcomed rather than a burden. She even got him a Christmas present which was so sweet and thoughtful! She sends updates via pictures and videos without having to be asked. Bohdi definitely misses his new friends and I will definitely be rebooking with her!”


“Teresa was incredible with watching our 2 dogs. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend her. She was extremely flexible with us when we had some late changes with days added to our schedule. She literally went out of her way to make things easier for us and kept us updated during our pups stay with her. It was like sending our kids to the grandparents - our dogs got more with Teresa than they get at home!”


“Bella really enjoyed herself. They were incredibly kind and they sent me many pictures and videos. It was clear from that that Bella was really having a good time. The next time I go away I would definitely use them”


“Sara was great at watching our golden Loki!! She sent us daily pictures while we were away. Her dogs were also extremely friendly and playful with Loki, which we loved knowing that he was playing with other dogs and getting exercise the whole time. Would highly recommend using her to watch your dogs in the future.”

“We are so happy with Kellie!! She took such wonderful care of our Maddie and Rosie and they loved it there!! she made sure to take all of our girls specific needs into account and was super communicative throughout! She has a beautiful, loving, warm, and welcoming home & cared for our dogs with so much love. We are definitely coming back & are so grateful to have met such wonderful “paw”rents!!! Thank you Kellie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
