“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”

“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”

“Pam watched our two boys for a week and I never once felt worried or uneasy about anything. She truly loved the boys like they were her own. We live in Illinois and made the hour and a half drive based on recommendations from my Mom! I would make that drive anytime that I know Pam is watching my babies.”

“NO room for improvement! The Morgan family provided the same care that we give our dog with more play time! Piper had a huge yard and many dog friends to play with during her stay! She got plenty of attention from the Morgans and didn't have to use a crate. They sent us several pictures and videos throughout her stay which made our vacation much more enjoyable too!”

“I was so nervous leaving my dog, Jack, with someone we didn't know. Him staying a week with Roxanna was the best decision we could have made! She sent us pictures of him with updates about 3x a day. I was so impressed with her. She completely took away my anxiety so we could enjoy our vacation. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ We will be repeat customers for sure. Thank you!”

“We are very happy with the support and willingness Jeremiah gave my husband and me for our dog. He took Xabela in for us at night, sent us photos of Xabela every day, and agreed to give her back to us late at night. Xabela was very well cared for during the days we had her. We would definitely trust Jeremiah with our beloved Xabela again. Thank you for everything!”

“Emily did an exceptional job taking care of Spartacus! From the moment I entrusted her with our dog, I knew I made the right decision. Emily demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and dedication throughout the entire dog sitting experience. She showed genuine care and affection towards our dog, ensuring his well-being and happiness at all times. I was impressed by her attention to detail and ability to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our pet. Communication was seamless and prompt, with regular updates and photos that reassured me of our dog’s contentment. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Her exceptional service and genuine love for animals makes her a standout choice. I am grateful for this experience and will undoubtedly seek her services again in the future!”
