“Ruby was wonderful with our dog, Moose. We were able to leave town and not worry about him. She also sent us some great photos and videos of Moose playing with other dogs in her care. I highly recommend her!”
““Amanda was fantastic with Simba! She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and felt at home, keeping me updated every step of the way. I truly appreciate her dedication and care. I’ll definitely be bringing Simba back to her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!””
“Shannon and Louise are warm, adoring hosts! We received frequent updates/pictures showing our boy having a great time playing with his new friend, Keegan. We will be repeat customers, for sure!”
“Tara was excellent. She was responsive, and flexible when I had unpredictable travel plans. She took great care of my girl and I could tell she was happy when I picked her up. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“We came to Newport for a 2day trip, and did not pre arrange any dog sitters. We reached out to Kyoka & John, and they replied immediately. They came to pick up our dog Ginger with their puppy. We immediately knew that Ginger was in safe hands. Kyoka is extremely accommodating, caring and sweet. She sent us many photos and updates. Ginger looks so happy and clean when we got him back. Highly recommend Kyoka & John!!”
“Lana had a great weekend while we were away! It was clear she remembered staying there even though it had been a few years. Grateful to have a place for Lana to stay when we’re out of town where she will be safe and cared for.”
“I can’t express how grateful I am that we Kathleen. It was the perfect environment for my dog. She and her very nice family took such good care of him that he felt at home. She also sent us many updates and photos so I knew he was happy and safe. I highly recommend her and would rebook! Thank you so much to Kathleen and family because of your great care I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”
“Taylor and Ryan were both amazing. Their adorable, wonderful puppers were so good as well. Our Daisy had the time of her life and we felt so comfortable leaving her there. Taylor has more than enough space for our girl to get her exercise, get lots of loving and feel right at home. She came back with no issues at all. Taylor is definitely our go to! Thank you so much again!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter other than my family so I was very nervous. Geof was very patient and caring. I received daily updates and my girls had a wonderful time!! Nice pet friendly home with large fenced in backyard that Pickle and Millie enjoyed. I couldn’t have asked for better. I definitely would feel comfortable using Geof again next time.”
“Our dog, Emmy, stayed with Shannon for three nights and wow-what a great experience! I felt an instant sense of calm entering her home. Shannon and her partner welcomed Emmy as if she was their own. In only a few days, they both formed a close bond with her, as well as quickly familiarized themselves with Emmy’s quirky behavior. Shannon was able to manage Emmy’s medication and food preferences along with her anxious tendencies and hostile reactions to other dogs. We will definitely be rebooking with Shannon!”
“Austin was great. This was my first time ever boarding my four-year-old American bully. She does have some anxiety and stress issues. He was Fantastic with her from the start and made it easy for me to start the booking right from the beginning I would definitely recommend him. He kept me updated throughout her stay, which was a full three days and answered any concerns and questions I had along the way. I will definitely book again with Austin.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“Savanna was great with our senior dog, who also likes to act like a puppy sometimes! She made him feel at home and took great care of him. We will be using her again!”
“Phenomenal experience! Communication was great and I got check ins and updates with great photos when I was on my trip. We have a meet and great and my puppy got to meet her dogs and they all got along so well. She made Me and my puppy feel so welcome through the entire process, recommended 10/10!!”
“Taylor and Tyler took amazing care of our dog Darcy! She had a lot of fun, and was in high spirits at pickup time. It was also really nice to get updates and photos from Taylor & Tyler during her stay. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting the area. Thanks!”
