I was out of town for a few days, and Harvey took very good care of my puppies. When I dropped them off, they were so excited it was like they already knew him, even though it was their first time meeting him. He shared pictures of them while I was away, and they looked very happy and relaxed. When I picked them up, they still seemed so happy (aside from being excited to see me, of course!). I would recommend Harvey with no problem if you need someone kind and sweet to take care of your pets.

Sheila did an outstanding job dogsitting our dog, Rudy - we never worried one minute about his care which was wonderful - so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And, especially, she kept in touch with us daily with photos and conversation. Was awesome!

So thankful for David + Krysta. They are now our top choice when we need to leave our sweet girl behind. We were updated daily with photos and her daily events--such a breath of fresh air to be out of town and know our girl is being truly being taken care of. Poppy had a blast playing in their big backyard, making friends with their dogs, and getting all the love and playtime with their boys. Upon picking poppy up, the kids even had their friends in the neighborhood come and say bye to her because they had gotten to know her--there was something special about that! We are going out of town again in April and I'm on my way to book them again now. Poppy has found her home away from home family and we are ok with that.

Barbara is absolutely AMAZING! I have had to change my trip so many times due to schedule changes, and she was SO accommodating. She kept me continuously updated with photos and videos the entire time, and took the best care of my baby 🐶. I swear she was MADE for this! Thank you so much again Barbara, I cannot thank you enough. You ROCK!

Jessica is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had for Callie! Her personal care, excellent communication, and caring heart made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. Callie absolutely loves her, and I appreciate Jessica’s constant updates. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a trusted sitter!

We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She took incredible care of our dog, treated her like family, played with her constantly, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We especially appreciated all the photo and video updates — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. Definitely a 5-star experience!
