“I dropped my dog, Snoopy, off at Vikki's place yesterday. I was a bit stressed since Snoopy takes time to adjust to a new place. Vikki was very confident that she would be able to help Snoopy have a good time and that helped calm my nerves quite a bit. When I picked up Snoopy, he was happy & a very tired puppy. Vikki sent me snaps and he seemed to have made friends & was having a great time. I would definitely use Vikki again. Thank you again, Vikki!”

“Nikki was AMAZING. My dog is “needy” and required a specific type of dog sitter to be kind and patient with him. She was excellent, we will DEFINITELY be rebooking.”


Sandra M.
“We love spending time with Sandra and her dog Daisy -- they are the best dog walkers and sitters around! Sandra gives us lots of love and scratches, brings dog toys, and we have lots of fun when she takes us for a walk in the neighborhood. She feeds us and also gives us our preventatives and medication, when needed. If we can't be with our family, we know we will be taken great care of by Sandra! xoxo, Busta & Pompom (jack russell mix) & (chihuahua mix)”

The fenced in back yard gave Precious plenty of outdoor time and freedom to roam. Now Precious goes with her tail wagging. Your precious pup will like Teresa too!”


Tracey B.
“Tracey has dog sat my sweet Maltese several times. I am very particular about my little dog and I would never leave him with just anyone. Tracey is so loving and makes my dog feel right at home. He even perks up when I ask him if he wants to go see Aunt Tracey! :-) She is very organized, she always asks me about his feeding schedule and his routine and she will make it a priority to try and stick to the same routine as your dog normally has, if at all possible. She even allows my dog, Marshmallow to sleep with her because he is used to always sleeping with me. I know when Marshmallow is staying with Tracey, he will have the very best care and love while he is there. It's the next best thing to being home with me. Tracey's home is Marshmallow's home away from home. I highly recommend Tracey as anyone's dog sitter. She already has so much experience with dog sitting for multiple people and they are regular customers of hers now. She definitely deserves a 5 star rating! Your pup will be in wonderful hands!”

Kathy W.
“I am so happy to recommend Kathleen a dog care provider. From the very first time we met, it was clear how much Kathleen genuinely loves and understands dogs. She has a special way of making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and loved, no matter their age or temperament. My dog is always excited to see Kathleen, and I have total peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands. Kathleen goes above and beyond — making sure walks are enriching, feeding is timely, and play is tailored to my dog’s needs. I wouldn’t trust anyone else more with my furry best friend and highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy person to care for your pet.”
