1. Beth J.


“Beth did an amazing job at taking care of my beagle for me while I was out of town for a long weekend. I received timely, regular updates, and she provided my dog with a ton of affection, which she clearly relished from the pictures. She has a lovely house with a great backyard for the dogs to run, play, and sunbathe. Highly recommended, and she will be my first call the next time I need a dog sitter. Thanks Beth!”


2. Faith T.


“Thank you Faith for doing a great job with both my dogs! They’re not typically inside dogs (more like farm dogs), but she accommodated them and was flexible through the weekend. Photos or videos were sent daily. Thanks!”


3. Brian P.

“I was happy with Muddy's stay at Brian's. He has a ton of experience and it was clear Muddy was in excellent hands. The communication was great, and I definitely would recommend Brian!”


4. Megan P.

“We needed an emergency sitting since our previous solution couldn't address our needs at the last minute. In comes Megan to the rescue! She could not be more pleasant and while our dog isn't necessarily comfortable with strangers, he warmed up to Megan and they were best buddies by the time we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”


5. Janel G.


“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Tony! Janel is kind, attentive, and truly loves dogs. Tony had never stayed in a different home before and has been pretty isolated. Janel was patient and loving to Tony and sent me cute pictures and notes. She was also very communicative and flexible when we had to change our pick up date. Tony adapted well to his new friends and I could tell he missed them after he left! Janel is the best!”


6. Erika H.

“Erika and Brian were great! They sent me daily video updates, they have a nice big open property that i’m sure my german sheppard Maximus loved! will be back!”


7. Amber F.

“Amber was amazing taking care of tiger and tippy, they were both really happy, she kept us updated all the time and gave us nice details about their day. We will be using her services again.”


8. Carol D.
“Top notch pet care! I can’t say enough nice things about my experience with Carol and family! Carol has a heart for animals and is such a great pet caregiver. I call her the dog whisperer because her interactions are like no other. Her property is tucked away in a beautiful mountain in West Virginia with plenty of room for walks and a fenced in yard. I highly recommend Carol!”


9. Jessica K.

“Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. The quality of care they provide your pet goes far beyond anything offered by a traditional boarder. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. That peace of mind is priceless!”


10. Hailey K.

“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


11. Destinee C.
“Ms. Destinee have been taking care my dog for a year now couldn’t ask for a better sitter my dog loves her she makes sure his well feed and have good play time would definitely keep using her as my dog sitter”


12. Crystal & Jadon K.


“Crystal and Jadon are the best! Our dog Ruby just spent a week with them while we were on vacation. Crystal was in touch with us every day sending pictures and videos and letting us know how she was doing. Ruby had so much fun at their house! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was being cared for so well. We would definitely recommend Crystal and Jadon!!”


13. Kristina & Mark L.

“Kristina and Mark were wonderful with my dog! They picked him up and dropped him off and even came back to get his food. My dog felt right at home! Would definitely have them watch my dog again!”


14. Megan G.

“5/5 Layla would cuddle again”


15. Megan O.

“Megan took such great care of our dog Finn! She sent daily photos and updates, and took him for walks every day. She showed him so much love and genuine care. We felt so comfortable leaving him with her and her family. Highly recommend!”
