“Holly is always happy to go and stay with Allesha I get a picture and video every day Holly stays with her. Allesha is a wonderful and amazing person and Holly loves being with her when I am away. Thank you again Allesha 🙂”
“Super easy and informed stay with Jess. Even on short notice, she was accommodating and very helpful with pre-visit communication. Will happily have Mitchell visit again!”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“I can’t rave enough about the care our dog Stella received. Pallavi and her husband provided tons of feedback, photos, videos of our dog while under their care. Our dog was well cared for and loved. Highly recommend”
“Theresa and Adrian are THE BEST!!! My Mother and I were having a difficult time finding someone to care for our family pet dog Moses, due to people's schedule. We needed someone we could trust to care for Moses while we traveled to a family reunion. I had an excellent experience with Theresa and Adrian caring for my dog. They did an outstanding job ensuring my pet was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. They were very attentive, responsive, and showed genuine care and affection. My dog seemed relaxed and content, which is the biggest compliment I could give. I highly recommend Theresa and Adrian for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry friend! Thank you so very much! Vito Viviano The Prince 👑🍾⚘️”
“I recently boarded my dog, Marty, with Erika again for the 3rd time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Erika's genuine love for dogs and her professional approach made me feel completely at ease. Marty came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared-for. Highly recommend Erika for her exceptional dog boarding services! we will be back!”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Lisa accepted our booking very last minute and was so kind and accommodating with our drop off and pick up time. She replied quickly when we checked in to see how Belle was doing. Belle had a great time and we hope to book with Lisa again in the neat future for our upcoming travels! We were extremely pleased with the care she received.”
“Great overall! She communicates (sometimes a bit often), but you can tell it’s in her caring nature. She was able to go to rescue my baby after a Rover sitter left him home alone while I was out of town due to an “emergency”. Beverly was there step by step and I wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without her stepping in to get a ride to my place, pack him and his things, and take him in for boarding. She sent me pics and videos to ensure he was well taken care of. I would book with her again!”
“Shivadarshini was great to work with! When I reached out to her about Biscuit staying over while we were away, she offered Biscuit and I stop to by for a quick visit ahead of time to make sure we were both comfortable with her staying for a week. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dogs as well. She sent outfits twice a day which was so sweet and kind of her to think about doing. She met any need or requirement I asked for. Biscuit will be visiting again next time we are out of town.”
“We read great reviews about Nicolle and they were not wrong our mocha baby loved her and she made us feel at peace that Mocha was in good hands. Thank you to Nicole and her family”
“I highly recommend Manu for any dog boarding. She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos. Our shepherd/husky cross is a pretty big and energetic girl, but Manu kept her busy and happy. Manu made everything simple and clearly takes great care of our dog.”
“Renee has watched Skylar 3 times now. I seriously think our dog likes her more than us! She does so much with her! Walks, playtime, games…even bakes her treats! So glad I found someone I can trust with our little girl.”
“Steve was great with my big boy Ace , he saved me by accepting him on very short notice for a long stay so I’m very greatful. Sent me pics daily and kept me posted. Ace came home happy , fed and in good spirits. Will definitely use his service again .”
“Lasya did an amazing job taking care of my dog! They were super nice, sent regular updates, and made sure my pup was happy and safe. Thank you very much for taking care of Millie.”
“Queeny took real good care of our friend Luka. She took him to walks and gave us updates everyday on how he's been doing. So we were not worried at all. I know he has good time with Queeny and her family. We can say now Luka really found another home for him when we are traveling.”

Victoria is truly a lifesaver. I originally booked her to board my dog, but due to unexpected circumstances, I also needed urgent care for my cat, who had a UTI and required medication starting that same day and continuing for over two weeks while I was out of the country. Victoria was incredibly understanding and accommodating despite the last-minute change. Thanks to her, my cat received all of his medication on time without missing a single dose. Not only did she take wonderful care of my cat, but she also kept my dog happy and well cared for. She consistently kept me updated, especially about my cat’s condition and urination, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I cannot thank her enough and would not hesitate to book her again in the future.
Vanessa provided fantastic care for our dog Sox over the weekend. He came home happy and calm. She communicted with us regularly, sent pics and took him for regular walks. Vanessa's home is well kept and dog friendly. She was able to accept our request on short notice. We'll be back.
I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!
Pallavi is an amazing sitter who cared for Rocket like her own. Rocket stayed with Pallavi and her husband over the weekend, and when we picked him up, he even walked us back to their doorstep! Needless to say, our puppy felt right at home. We highly recommend Pallavi as a sitter.
We’ve had our dogs stay with Lasya twice now (once for an extended stay over two weeks) and both times she was fantastic! She’s very caring and our dogs felt completely at ease in her home. She sends regular updates and is extremely responsive. Will definitely book again if we need a sitter 😊
We left our dog Rory in the care of Miranda and Cameron for over two weeks while we were away on vacation. They provided us with updates on how she was doing while away, and they were also able to deal with a couple health issues that our dog was dealing with at the time. When we picked up Rory, it was easy to see that she was well taken care of in Cameron. We would definitely recommend using them for your dog sitting services and we look forward to reaching out to them the next time we need a dog sitter as well.
Michael was amazing with my little man, his updates made me feel so much more comfortable about leaving my puppy for the weekend knowing he was in such good care. He went above and beyond during my little man’s stay, working with me so well on the random things involved with puppy adjustment. The next time I need to have someone trustworthy and kind - I know exactly who to contact and look forward to him watching my dog in the future.
Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They’re a super communicative and genuinely kind couple — I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!
Madrona was everything a dog momma could ask for! She was very attentive to banjo and what he needed and banjo come back to me after the 4 days boarding super happy and tired. She communicated with me as much as I wanted and I never worried how banjo was doing. Would definitely book again! People tend to thing my big baby is scary but not Madrona she fell in love with him just as much as i did and made me feel super comfortable from the moment I dropped him off! If you’re in the Detroit area please go to Madrona for all your dog sitting needs!
