Serah was an amazing person to have as our little Lita’s foster momma while we had an extended vacation. She kept us in the loop with texts and pictures. It was so reassuring to have our pup taken care of and loved as her own. Lita loved the fenced in yard and having Riley, Serah’s dog, as her playmate. We highly recommend Serah. We will definitely choose her again as our first choice in dog sitters.

John and Teri were the best!! Truly, we couldn’t have imagined better. We knew immediately at the meet and greet that our dog would be comfortable and well cared for, and the pictures and video they sent showed we were exactly right. He was having a blast and feeling right at home! We love that they really enjoy his company and care about him. He will be going back in a couple weeks and we are so grateful to know we don’t need to worry about him when we are out of town. Thank you so much, John and Teri!!

Stacy and Michael give such good care of Willow! Apparently a smoke detector battery died, and the beeping freaked her out. They let her sleep on the end of their bed, and that calmed her. I’m so glad they read her signs and took extra measures.

My little shitzu is a rescue who had been abused. She is scared of small children and small dogs. Lynn was so incredibly flexible and wonderful with Sammy. It was my 1st time ever leaving Sammy with a stranger. Lynn made sure that I got lots of pictures and updated me all the time on how Sammy was adjusting. I could not have asked for a better experience and I'm so thankful that she took such great care of my baby.

Caleb is fantastic! Our two huskies were in excellent care for 8 days while we were out of the state. I seriously appreciated the individualized attention they received, with walks and lots of outside time in the fenced yard. I also appreciated the regular video updates, and taking care in introducing the pups to the other dogs (his house is very nicely set up for this!). Super responsive, and clearly has lots of experience with all variety of dogs. Caleb will definitely be my go-to going forward!

The best rover we have ever had. She cared and spoiled our golden retriever like she was her own dog. She was extremely accommodating to a last minute change in a trip and made it easy us to take a trip out of state. I will be looking to book Carla again in the future! Lily was spoiled by her!

Caleb is a fantastic dog sitter. He watched our 2 dogs for a week and wouldn't hesitate to use him again. He clearly cares about dogs and does a great job with communication and preparing his house for guests. His own dog is great and got along well with our 2 dogs, one of which is a sergeant in the fun police. We had a odd schedule switch in the middle of our trip and Caleb was flexible in accommodating schedule changes. He kept us up to date and overall did a great job.

Mary and her family did a great job with our dogs — kept their routines, administered medication, and gave them plenty of stimulation with walks, outside time, and human socialization! Our dogs felt very comfortable with the whole family and we will absolutely check her availability next time we need sitters for our dogs.

Elyse (and her lovely family) provided the perfect place for us to leave our Chihuahua mix for our trip. She sent lots of pictures and descriptions of his day so that I always felt like I knew how he was doing. She was also quick to answer my texts and any questions that I had. He was so very comfortable there that he ate well, slept peacefully, played tug, snuggled all the humans, went for a car ride, interacted and got his sniffs in at a dog park and played happily with the 1 other pup in Elyse's care. He clearly felt at home. He also transitioned beautifully to actually being back home with no signs of stress. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Elyse and I'm so grateful that Herman has found her, too. We will happily leave Herman with Elyse again because we know, with certainty, that she'll love and care for him like we do.

Tasha did an excellent job of making our dogs feel right at home from the get go. Very experienced and great rapport with our little furry kids. Kept us updated on their well-being and knows elder-dog special care needs. If they can't go along for the family vacation, would highly recommend Tasha for anyone looking for a vacation their dogs will also enjoy.

Even got him to start taking naps which we will be continuing! The whole family showed him love and we were so grateful to know he was safe and extremely cared for while we were gone. Absolutely recommend her!
