“We had a wonderful experience with Carolyn. She took our pup last minute and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving her. Lots of pictures and communication throughout our time away.”
2. Barb K.
“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”
3. Kathleen & John N.

6. Sarah E.
“When my first reservation backed out 1 hour before my drop off time, Sarah was quick to respond and agree to watch Moxie for me. She was a lifesaver! She took my dog an hour later and my dog immediately made her self at home. Moxie was very happy when I picked her up and Sarah took great care of her. I'm so thankful for helping me out at the last minute. I would definitely use her again in the future.”

“We have found a great new sitter for Dusty Rose! This was her first time with Megan and we were extremely happy with her care. She provided a great, safe space for Dusty. She listened carefully to instructions & followed up with great videos & pictures. She even brought Dusty back to us which was not necessary at all but very much appreciated. We already have her booked for our next trip! Thanks Megan!!”
