“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!”


“I would give 10 stars if it were possible. I was so thankful to be able to find Angie last minute to care for our dog Koa. It was Koa’s first time ever with a sitter, and we were nervous because it was 9 days, but Angie was welcoming during the meet and greet, and explained about how she would care for him. She also provided additional information about the other dogs she cared for during the time we would leave Koa with her. She sent pics almost every day to provide updates on how he was doing. We are so grateful for the amazing care that Koa received from Angie. He was a happy pup, which made us happy, too!”

“I was very nervous about leaving my boy with anyone, especially since he’s my service animal! I received pictures and updates while I was away but when I picked him up, that’s when I truly knew he had enjoyed his stay. He didn’t run for the door to leave, instead, he didn’t want to leave!!! Thank you Joanne and Tilda for taking such good care of my sweet boy.”


“Great dog sitter! She was with my dog Chloe for a week and always kept me updated and sent me pictures. My dog looked super happy in the pictures and when I picked her up. She also has a nice backyard so my dog enjoyed being there very much! I Recommend her 1000%”


“Jon did a great job with my large and sometimes unruly dog. Kaya came back from a four day stay with Jon as relaxed and as happy as ever. Photo updates of them on their walks was reassuring that she was getting quality care. Would definitely use Jon again for any upcoming boarding and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”


“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 kept Bebe for 4 days and sent pictures daily to update us on her daily meals & activity. We had peace of mind while traveling knowing our baby was being very well cared for & would certainly book again with Maya.”


“Angelica is absolutely amazing. She sent photos and videos every single day, was responsive, friendly, and a wonderful professional. My pup was obsessed with her immediately. Her home was immaculate and safe for my girl. I could not have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be using her services again. I almost think my puppy didn’t want to leave her. Plus, she returned her to me having washed her bed and my puppy was clean and smelling amazing. You can’t go wrong with Angelica.”


“Vanessa and her family did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby Fazo (husky) not only did she send lots of pictures, videos and updates she also informed me of any mood changes on my baby. I felt very at ease and relaxed knowing he was with the best care. I highly recommend her to anyone who has to leave their fur babies for a couple days. I will definitely be rebooking her.”
