“Kelsi was fantastic! She kept us informed through messaging with photos. Our little Frenchie was equally excited. If you love your pets, Kelsi is a great option to care for your fur babies!”


“It was Snowflakes 1st time. It was great. Amy was very communicative with lots of pics and updates throughout the day. Will def use her again.”


“Our three pups had the best stay! We received lots of photos and updates. The premises were clean and plenty of space for our doggies to run and play. Denton & Elizabeth exceeded our expectations, we definitely will reach out again to book our next stay with them! :)”


“Shakita boarded my dog Rosie for 4 days and was wonderful with her! She was very communicative and kept me updated. I loved that she sent me tons of photos and videos and in all of them Rosie was always having a great time! I definitely recommend Shakita for caring for your fur babies. Thank you Shakita!”


“Jennifer is hands down the best dog sitter! She made our Sadie girl feel like she was at home. She spent her time exercising Sadie throughout the day and snuggled with her at night. Sadie doesn’t eat very much when we go out of town, she ate each night she was there! That’s how I know she was comfortable. We will be booking Jennifer for now on! I can’t say enough nice things about her!”



“Cyndi was AMAZING! She loves dogs and you can see it. She’s very communicative and makes sure you are aware of how your pet is settling in and doing throughout the day.”


“Jennifer was awesome!!! We have a GSP, a highly energetic breed. Jennifer wasn't fazed by our dogs energy, if anything, she seemed to enjoy it. We will definitely go to her again in the future!!! Thanks Jennifer!!!”


“Sarah did a great job of caring for our 15-year-old miniature poodle over 6 days. As we entered her home, she helped him feel calm by closing away other pets she was caring for until he had a chance to explore her house on his own. Once he felt comfortable, he met and adjusted to the other pets. She also gave him his daily medicine and sent pictures of him resting comfortably (he sleeps alot!) or being alongside the other pets throughout his stay. It was a relief to know he was well cared for while we were away. I will definitely book with Sarah again the next time we need a pet sitter!”


“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”


“Once again, Gidget had a wonderful stay with Tania! This was Gidget's second stay with Tania. Tania was nice sending photos and updates. We felt Gidget was safe and being lovingly cared for by Tania. She is very responsive to owner questions and concerns. Thank you Tania!”


“Susan was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my Goldendoodle son with her! She has a wonderful, large back yard that my dog enjoyed! She sent me photos everyday and let me know how he was doing. I am 100% booking Susan for my dog the next time I am out of town!”


“She was very accommodating. I was able to book same day service for 2 night stay for Christmas. I was thankful that she responded immediately to my messages and was flexible on my scheduled drop off and pick up time, as I was traveling from out of town with two small kids.”


“This is our third time using Krystal to watch our cat, Horace. She’s always so great with him and I know he’s well looked after in Krystal’s care. We will continue to use Krystal for our cat care needs in the future and we’re so glad we found someone we can rely on and trust! :)”


“Jennifer kept my 11 year old little guy safe and happy! She was also gracious and flexible with pickup times (I was headed out of town and ran behind during packing). I had the opportunity to meet Jennifer's daughter, Emily, who was also kind and friendly. Absolutely would leave my pup with her again.”


“We had our first experience with Amanda and family, and it was a long stay, over the holidays. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, loving, and kind family to take care of Rufus. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond—even the whole family came out together during the initial meet and greet to meet him, which meant so much to us, and I had no doubts our dog was going to have the best time and be in such great care. Rufus was treated like one of their own, made fast friends with Amanda’s dog (a bigger win than one might realize!) , and absolutely loved having the space to run around and play. We were so grateful for all the updates and communication throughout his stay—it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Their flexibility was also such a gift during a busy time. We’ll absolutely be booking with Amanda again and recommending them 100% to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much for taking such incredible care of Rufus!”


“Nicole and Austyn are the best!! I needed an overnight sitter super last minute and Nicole was able to help me out! I really appreciate the flexibility and will absolutely be booking with her again :)”


“Pamela and Paul were great at taking care of Oliver and keeping us updated on how he was doing. Oliver has separation anxiety which can make it difficult to find a sitter, but Oliver really enjoy his time with them. He showed very little anxiety and got along really well with their dog Marlowe. Pamela and Paul did a fantastic job and we were definitely be coming back!”

“Rebekah was a fantastic sitter! She sends frequent updates with photos of your pup, so you can rest assured that they are happy and safe ❤️ Jane requires almost constant human attention and goes outside every 2-3 hours. Rebekah meet all of her needs and more. Her facility is clean, inviting, and pup friendly. Will most definitely be booking again!!”


“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”


“This is our second time leaving our two babies with Sheri, and she is amazing! Very communicative and she and her kids were so great with our dogs. Trust her and her kids with our babies and will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
