“Kimberly did amazing with my GSD puppy and my sisters puppy! They can be quite the handful together but Kimberly did such an amazing job taking care of both of them while we were on vacation! We got lots of updates and pictures and I never once doubted they were being well cared for and loved on! I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing a sitter! She was super flexible on drop off/pickup times which was so convenient as my sister and I didn’t know exactly when we’d be back in town. The pups had so much fun!”


“Our dog, Nala, loves staying with the Wahls! Their family welcomes her as soon as we drop her and she loves playing with their dog. We love all the videos and updates we receive from them all week that show she is being loved and cared for just like we care for her at home.”


“Marianne is friendly and loves dogs. Archie went right to her without hesitation and was all smiles when we left! Marianne responded quickly to correspondence regarding all aspects of Archie’s stay and she sent photos regularly throughout his stay, as well. Her own dogs also welcomed Archie and befriended him, too. We are looking forward to rebooking with Marianne!”

Christine J.
“I hired Christine to take care of my beloved furry friend for a few days while i was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring towards my She was prompt and professional in their communication. They took the time to understand my dog's needs, habits, and any specific instructions I had, ensuring a smooth transition for my dog during my absence. Their attention to detail and willingness to listen made me feel confident in their abilities to care for my pet. They followed the feeding schedule diligently, ensured my dog had plenty of fresh water, and took them for regular walks. It was evident that they genuinely cared about my dog's well-being and happiness, as they sent me frequent updates and pictures to keep me informed and reassured. One aspect that stood out was their ability to provide a safe and comfortable environment for my dog. They paid attention to my dog's temperament and adjusted their care accordingly, providing a nurturing and stress-free experience. I appreciated the effort they put into maintaining a clean living space and ensuring my dog felt at ease. I highly recommend the Christine! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals make them an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy individual to care for their furry companions. I will definitely be using their services again in the future, knowing that my dog will be in excellent hands.”
