We loved Genevieve's communication and how much she cared about our dog! It's not always easy leaving your fur-babies but we felt confident with Genevieve! She has a great set up in her home, gave lots of attention to our pup, and sent pictures! We would absolutely use her again and certainly recommend!

Alice was awesome with my 13 year old ShiPoo. Oreo came home calm, happy and content from all the snuggles she received during her weekend getaway.

Crystal is amazing! We felt that Moby was in such great hands with her. She is extremely knowledgeable on dogs and even spent some time training Moby a bit while we were away. She was kind and provided a very professional and easy experience! We would definitely choose Crystal again!

Gemma had a great time, and I really appreciated Kayla helping us at the last minute. I'm very picky who cares for my girl, and would definitely use Kayla again! Gemma is currently curled up in my lap taking a nap, she is wore out!

Sara will treat your pet with as much love as she's treated her own. Not only will she be a great pet companion, she's responsible so she will show up on time and communicate promptly. Sara goes above and beyond for the people in her life, and that includes pets. She even bakes homemade dog treats for a local humane society. You can't go wrong with hiring Sara!

Emily is a great pet sitter! She has taken care of both of my pups and my cat on multiple occasions. Her home is spacious with room for my pups to roam inside and out. She is dependable, kind, and very caring toward my pets.

It was such a relief to finally feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog with a sitter so I could enjoy my vacation worry free! Victoria went out of her way to make her home safe and enjoyable for my dog who was dealing with some stiffness. I'd recommend her to anyone!

My Lola had a blast staying with Lisa! She sent many pictures and updates during her stay and was very responsive. Plenty of toys and comfy places for a pup to enjoy in the household and a safe fenced in yard. Would definitely recommend!

I used Sarah because I wanted to take my dog with me on a road trip… she was super flexible on drop off and pick up. My dog loved playing with her pups in her fantastic back yard. Next time I am in DM I will definitely try to use her again!

Michelle & Mark were so sweet! My Frenchie has epilepsy and they took notes and asked lots of questions about her meds and made sure they were ready in case anything happened. We were also traveling out of state and when I got to their house I realized I had forgotten my dogs food and they ran out and got some for her so I didn't have to travel back home. I would highly recommend them and will not hesitate to ask them to watch her again if needed! Thank you Mark and Michelle!!

Justin was incredible! He made sure that our pup Nash felt comfortable as well as reassured us that Nash was being taken good care of! He sent lots of updates and pictures to make it feel like we weren’t even away from Nash! Nash got to play outside, got lots of love, and even got some one on one time with Justin! We have one tired pup coming home with us! We highly recommend Justin and will definitely be taking Nash back in the future!
