“Bridges watched my dog for a week and did a wonderful job. She met me and my dog beforehand which helped make me feel more at ease, and she provided frequent updates on how he was doing during the stay. She took him on a lot of walks, and he had a wonderful time with her. I would happily have my dog stay with Bridgid again!”

“Sky was great! As a dog mom, my dog means the world to me and it can be nerve wracking leaving her. Sky took great care of her and sent daily video updates. Her communication is stellar and quick, which is extremely important to me. I would recommend Sky to everyone!”

“This is our second time with Luciana and she takes such good care of my pup! He has food allergies/ restrictions and can be a bit of a picky eater, and Luciana works with him to make sure he gets what he needs. Highly recommend!”


“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
