“Annette is truly a dog/animal lover. After our meet and greet, we felt very comfortable leaving our pups in her hands for our wedding. I did not stress once that they were not being well taken care of. Annette has set up her home to be prepared for all pets’ personalities. When we picked our dogs up, Annette gave us a full and detailed report of how their stay was. They left happy and relaxed! Thank you, Annette!”

I appreciated the updates and the genuine affection she showed my girl. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter.”

“Jessica & Ian are true professionals. First time leaving our 15 year old dog with a nonfamily member & they took such great care of her. They responded to my questions and sent beautiful photos of her while I was away. They treated her like a member of their family. Apparently she even bonded with their dog which is unusual for her! Thank you so much!”
“Kathleen is amazing! Molly had a great time. Our dog has seizures and requires multiple meds. She took expert care of our Molly. We will definitely try booking with her again.”
“Jillian was the best, so patient and great with Bella. I ended up running late to pick her up and got caught in a thunderstorm. Bella is terrified by thunder, but Jillian was chill and stuck with her. Wouldn’t hesitate to ask Jillian to watch Bella again!”
“❤️😳🙌I dropped my puppy Malinois off with Angel for 5 days. She came back happy, and better behaving when I picked her up. I can tell a lot af attention was given to her and she was treated well. A Puppy Malinois not the easiest dog to handle… Angel is definitely a dog whisperer 🙏🏻✨”
“Lovely experience leaving my foster pitbull with Yvette for a weekend. Right away I noted her nice calm demeanor. Maggie is a very nervous dog, but she responded well to Yvette on first meeting, so I felt good about that. Yvette also has all the needed supplies, lots of toys and a crate, which was nice because Maggie likes to have a place to feel safe when she’s nervous. I would feel very comfortable leaving Maggie with Yvette again. :)”
“This is my second time having my fur baby with Sue. It was a much longer visit this time (a week) amd Sue remained her kind communicative self. Would recommend in a heartbeat. She goes above and beyond. Thank you! 💕”
