“Morgan was so friendly and kept me up to date with pictures and messages of the pups. Our dogs loved spending time with her. Will definitely keep her in mind for rebooking!”
“McKenzie was amazing with our crew. Including keeping us up to date on one of our pups who has a medical issue that requires multiple medications and feeding times. It’s especially hard to leave a pet that isn’t feeling well by McKenzie did a great job. My little dog, who is a bit standoff-ish, let her pet her with a few minutes of meeting her. We hope to use her again!”
“Randi is always phenomenal with our cats and dogs. We trust her implicitly. She really came through for us on our most recent booking when one of our dogs suffered a medical emergency due to a diagnosed condition that required an unexpected vet visit and subsequent round-the-clock care. While we hadn’t booked her for overnights, she made sure our guy was taken care of, even sleeping on our couch so she could be next to him throughout the night. She kept our guy safe and well cared for until we could get home to him and make arrangements for his end-of-life. We will always be incredibly grateful for Randi’s love and care for our boy during this time.”
“Wesley was amazing. Kept in contact with us. Took amazing care of our pups. Let us know if any issues. She even got my little old pup to cuddle and that is rare. He really doesn’t like many people! She was amazing and we plan to use her again and again!!”

“We got Ophelia, a pit lab mix, in 2020. She was twice rescued and so scared that we weren’t even able or pet her when we took her home. Once she was settled in with us she then had horrible separation anxiety. We had a trip that Ophelia couldn’t come along in 2022. We reluctantly hired Collette as our dog was always a depressed pain for everyone who stayed with her in the past. The two of them had suck a great time Ophelia didn’t even care when we came home. Collette has watched her for us many times and each time Ophelia is very happy to see her come and sad to see her go. She sends pictures and videos of them snuggling and playing together. Collette is always my absolute first choice when we need to leave Ophelia.”
