“Royal and Rhonda are amazing. I left my two mini pom poms in their care for 6days. They sent me pics everyday of my babies and updates on them. This was the first time I had left with someone that was not family. I felt very confident that they would take of them as one of their own. For now on they will be my doggie sitter when I’m out of town. I can’t seem to Thank them enough. I recommend them to whom ever is looking for doggie sitter.”

“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”

“Kendra was great! This was Yasha’s second time staying with her in less than a month. Goes to show how reliable she is and how comfortable she makes you feel, leaving your fur baby with her. She truly cares. I appreciate all the photo’s and updates as well. It’s good to know my baby is having a good time while I am vacationing. No more guilt! lol”


“Hilary took wonderful care of Oakland during my five-night trip! Oakland loved running in the yard, and Hilary kept me at ease with regular updates. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in her care and will definitely reach out to her again for future dog-sitting needs!”

“Lauren is AMAZING. My dog is so old and she made so many accommodations for her to make sure she was comfortable. She kept me updated with photos and I just knew she was in great hands. Will absolutely be booking again with Lauren in the future!”

“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”

“Damacia is an amazing sitter for my dog, Jazzy! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure Jazzy was well cared for the entire time. From the moment I met her at drop-off, she was so welcoming and kind. I also had a medical emergency at the airport and had to change my flight at the last minute. Danika was incredibly accommodating and allowed Jazzy to stay an extra night without hesitation. She responded quickly with genuine care and concern, which meant so much to me during a stressful situation. I truly appreciate her flexibility, professionalism, and kindness. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“I give Kourtney five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 She was wonderful. She took care of Diego, our 12-year-old mini Schnauzer, with love and lots of attention. Diego was pampered and had a great time playing with Kourtney, enjoying walks, and playing with Jake, Kourtney‘s beagle, in the fenced yard. He was allowed to nap on the sofa, sleep on the bed, and even nap on Kourtney‘s lap while she was working on her computer. He got his meals and supplements on time and enjoyed his treats. Kourtney kept us posted twice a day with photos and videos of Diego. I'm sure Diego will miss his time with Kourtney, and my wife and I are grateful to her for caring for our little furry companion so well! Many thanks, Kourtney!”

“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”

“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
