1. Angela R.
“Poppy had such a good time visiting Angela. Tons of pictures throughout my trip. Caring and compassionate for my anxious and energetic pup. Definitely recommend and will book again for future sits ❤️”
2. Elizabeth R.
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Zelda. She took such great care of Zelda and she had so much fun that Zelda just wanted stay when we came to pick her up. Elizabeth took videos and pics to send to me while we were away which was so reassuring. It was fantastic and I plan on having Zelda stay there again every time I need go on a trip. So thankful!”
3. Greg & Corrie V.
“We really appreciate how well our dog Milo was taken care of. Being a 90 pound bundle of energy, we were worried about leaving our dog with just anyone. Corrie's communication put us at ease knowing we had found the right situation for Milo. Greg, Corrie and family made Milo feel at home! I was very impressed with how helpful the children were, it definately helped Milo adjust since he's used to 4 kids at home too. We will definately be booking again when the need arises!”
4. Linda & David L.
“Linda and David were absolutely wonderful to my Loki. Between the thorough updates and the welcoming environment they provide for their clients, I wasn’t worried at all while we were away.”
5. Holly M.
“Holly was amazing with our pup! We received frequent updates and photos. Great communication! Her space is beautiful and she even had a dog pool for the hot days. We'll definitely be using her again and again!”
6. Chris M.
“Had a great meet and greet. They worked with my dog very well and she was able to clam down after I left. She has very bad separation anxiety and they worked with her to help her and that was so great”
7. Henry & Cheryle B.
“Cheryle and Henry were wonderful, loving sitters for our dog when we came to visit Virginia Tech! They sent me photos and updates when he was with them and made sure he was comfortable in their home! They offered me coffee for our long drive home! We will be returning for their excellent care of our fur baby! I highly recommend them!!”
8. Nancye D.
“Nancy was so sweet and great at our little old lady. Will definitely have her watch Pepi again!”
9. Clara T.

10. Lindsey S.
“Lindsey was so amazing with Zade and he had the best time! I didn’t have to worry for a second about him being in good hands because she was so great with him! With out a doubt will use Lindsey again if needed in the future!”
11. Kurt G.
“Kurt was great! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with him for the weekend, and enjoyed all of the pictures we received while we were away.”
12. Jessie R.
“As we were scrambling last minute to find a sitter we couldn’t of found a better one than Jessie! Amazing sitter, very responsive, and loving care for those she watches! A perfect go to! Thanks Jessie and Rex thanks you as well!”
13. Emily P.
“Emily kept us updated about how the pups were doing. The dogs looked very relaxed when we picked them up. We will definitely book with her again! Very convenient to Virginia Tech!”
14. Bryce A.
“Bryce was gracious and communicative. I would recommend him to anyone.”
15. Richard & Kelly V.
“Rocky loved his 3 night stay here! Richard and Kelly were quick to respond and I felt comfortable leaving Rocky here. They took him on walks through the woods every day which I know he loved! I would likely only recommend them to people who have outdoor dogs, or dogs that don't mind noise/dogs barking. Rocky is an outside dog so I am certain had no issues sleeping outside or listening to the other dogs bark in the kennels all day. I don't think a dog that is used to being indoors and a in a single dog house would love it here like Rocky did!”
16. Crystal G.
“Crystal was amazing! She was super accommodating and friendly. She also sent pictures of my dog while I was away. It felt my dog was well taken care of. I would definitely book her again!”
17. Nancy M.
“Maverick loved his stay with Nancy & family. He was treated like family and got to do all the things he loves, play with dog friends & kids, find all the hidden balls in the house and sleep in a real bed :). Thanks again for making him feel so welcome and giving us peace of mind while we were away.”
18. Kennedy W.
“Kennedy was extremely kind. Our dog Remi can be nervous and she quickly came around to Kennedy. Kennedy provided daily updates and was quick to respond. She was very flexible of our travel times and understanding. We look forward to having Kennedy watch Remi again”
19. Makenna H.
“Izzy had a great stay! Makenna went above and beyond to add a food topper to Izzy’s food to help her eat with separation anxiety. Completely flexible with pickup and drop off. Will use again”
20. Brette B.
“Brette is awesome, I had her watch my puppy for the week while I was moving and she was amazing. She went above and beyond for me Thanks so much ?”
