“Shelisha did an amazing job with Luna! She kept me totally in the loop with constant updates, including tons of pictures and video messages. If you're a fur parent who values consistent notifications about your pet, Shelisha is highly recommended!”
“There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience was. First let me start by saying my initial dog sitter Canceled on us the day before our flight to Columbia. Due to safety reasons because of the hurricane. I contacted Angie and she immediately responded and we did a meet and greet right away. My dogs loved her and family instantly. She provided multiple daily updates and tons of photos which will be printing out. Lol Leaving your dogs with someone such last min is never easy but Angie surely made it very smooth! Our dogs came home happy to see us but I can see they are sad to have left. If you need a sitter who is response, caring, loving and will treat your dog as thier own then this is your person! Recommend 1000% .”

“Matt and Nicole took the best care of my babies Russ and Delilah especially since I was in a very hectic time of my life. They loved my dogs as if they were their own. They got them personalized name tags and made Delilah a beautiful necklace with her name on it. They gave them baths, took them swimming, and walked them all the time. They stayed in contact and set my mind at ease knowing they were in the best hands possible. I would highly recommend Matt and Nicole to care for your furbabies because they really do treat them like family.”
“Melissa and her husband were awesome! They treated my dog like family—walked him, cuddled with him, and even let him sleep with them. They kept me updated constantly with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dog felt right at home and was truly happy. It felt like a little vacation for him too! I would absolutely rebook with them again—eyes closed. Highly recommended!”

“Maya and her family were great with my senior dog, Auggie. They came for a meet and greet to my house prior to the stay, and then picked him up him off as he isn’t able to get into my pick up truck anymore. Maya was great with sending pictures and keeping me up-to-date with his activities. I got an earlier flight home and they even accommodated bringing my pupper back to me sooner than we had originally discussed. Great people and would highly recommend Maya for any of your fur babies.”
