“Doug was very kind to us and extremely hospitable to our cocker spaniel, Charlie, while we were gone for the week. He sent daily updates and time stamps on potties/feedings/medicines, which is even more than we asked for. He gave our dog plenty of walks and stimulation, and send lots of pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”



“Barrie is by far the best dog sitter that I have ever encountered. I loved the fact that she did a meet and greet with myself and my puppy, and instantly they bonded. The set up at Barrie’s house for my puppy was more than ideal, baby gates, kennels, food stations, and a large backyard. Thank you so much for watching and taking care of my puppy while I went out of town! Alicia Heckmann”

“Ryan took great care of my girls over my extended weekend. He was very communicative and took great pictures and videos. They usually don't get along with other dogs, but they had no issues at all with Ryan's dogs. They had a great time playing and relaxing with everyone in the house. I am excited to have a trusted place to bring my pups when I have to go out of town!”


“Krystal is an absolute dream to work with! She provided consistent updates and pics. This was really helpful since my puppy is anxious and I tend to worry about her. Krystal took amazing care of Ellie and I will absolutely book with her again. If you're looking for a wonderful caregiver for your fur baby, Krystal is who you're looking for!”

“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”


“Bonnie M. was very patient & kind with my furries. I appreciate her agreeing to care for them. Despite my big, rambunctious puppy, she had no negative commentary and they all seem to have been treated well.”


“Laderius and his family took good care of Lottie. We recently moved to AL and I didn’t know how busy it is during spring break. Laderius was able to accommodate Lottie in such short notice. I received pictures and updates about Lottie and she looked happy.”
