“Our pup Bijou had a wonderful vacation with Jamie and Nicole while we were away. She went on some nice walks, and a couple of longer hikes during her week with them. We feel very comfortable leaving her in their care. She is always well treated and loved during her stays.”
“Maria is great! As soon as I met her, I knew Porkchop would be in great hands. She is attentive and sets a routine early on. I felt better on vacation knowing she was watching Porkchop. She communicated everyday and answered questions I had. Thanks Maria!”

“Christen was amazing she sent me daily pics and updates of Lucy. She made me feel very comfortable and at ease about Lucy staying with her. Lucy was very tired happy pup when i picked her up and definitely seemed like she didn’t want to leave all the fun at Christen’s place. Lucy will definitely be a regular with Christen :) Thank you again so much ❤️”
“I could not have asked for a better family to watch my dog! Samantha and Brian were so kind and accommodating with my older dog! My dog had some issues initially acclimating to the new environment and they went above and beyond to make him feel at home. To the extent that Brian slept in the living room with him, where my dog felt most comfortable. Their children and their pup were wonderful with him as well! The family even accommodated me picking my dog up a night early since our holiday plans changed. This family really was a blessing when we needed to leave our dog for the holidays! Thank you again!!”
“Lauren was incredible! We were nervous leaving our giant puppy with someone, but immediately felt comfortable because of her confidence and demeanor. Our pup had a great time and seems happier than ever, so we are very thankful to Lauren.”
“Leslie treated our senior dog as if she were hers. She provided periodic updates and went the extra mile when our dog Callie had an additional need. We highly recommend Leslie and now Callie has a new BFF in Leslie’s Lab Lilly!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
“Rayleigh & Nate and kids took great care of our dog. We did a meet and greet ahead of us dropping her off, and we received frequent updates with photos or videos to help ease our minds while we were away. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Kendall was so amazing and was very responsive every time I texted. She sent picture updates and went above and beyond for our fur baby. They visited the dog park and even got dog friendly ice cream as a treat! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Michelle was amazing with my puppy! It was my first time using a dog sitter and it couldn’t have been better. She was very communicative and stayed in touch during my 5 days away. I’m confident my puppy was spoiled and well taken care of!”
