“Kristine watched our pups in our home for 2 nights. It was our first time leaving our dogs alone with someone so I was a little nervous. Kristine came to our home for a meet and greet and I immediately felt at ease. The dogs took to her right of way and I felt all my worries fade away. She is genuine, compassionate, competent and attentive. She stayed in touch with me and sent pictures of my pups and I was able to enjoy our little getaway! I feel confident now to book longer trips that are farther away with my home and pups in Kristine’s care!”
“Brooke was great to work with. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated the whole time. My pups are spoiled so I appreciate all the extra attention she gave them. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Akia took excellent care of our border collie! She sent us lots of great photos & gave us updates often! We could tell that she gave him lots of attention! Thanks so much for being someone we can trust to care for our 'baby'!”
“Raven was lovely and honestly could not have been better at giving updates. This was my first time boarding in over 7 years so I was nervous, but she made it seamless and communication was on point. Thanks so much!”
“Can't say enough about how terrific Katia was, caring for our dog, Ollie. She sent regular pictures and videos and kept us fully up-to-date about package deliveries and any other household matters. She was a delight to deal with! This was our first trip away since moving to this home 2 years ago, so we were a little tense, but Katia put our minds at ease and we will definitely make her our go-to sitter!”
“This was our first time using a sitter, and not only was Eva personable, professional and good humored, the dogs seemed truly happy and well cared for and I didn’t feel worried at all during our trip. Great job all around.”

“Caitlynn is consistently a great dog sitter (see our prior reviews…) Our two big fur babies LOVE her and greet her with kisses. The house is always left spotless. We will continue to ask Caitlynn to sit for us.”
“Melanie is wonderful! Our usually-shy dogs (and toddler) warmed up to her immediately. She has a calm, kind energy, and we felt completely reassured that our pups were in good hands while we went away. Melanie was very thoughtful and capable. She took great care of our fur babies and sent us updates. And she left our house clean and tidy. No complaints!”
“Maybrie was great. I asked her very last minute and she helped me out. She was great communicating and updating us with pictures. Thank you Maybrie! I hope we can do this again in the future.”
