“I have left both of my dogs with Katie many many times in the last year and a half and I’m always so happy with how she treats them. They see her and run to her!”
“Fergie had a blast Smokey!! Laronna has the perfect set up for watching Fur babies with a fenced in yard and doggie door. She loved on Fergie with plenty of pictures of Said spoiling. Thanks Laronna!”
“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”
“This was my first time using the service and I was apprehensive about it but Gabrielle was great about reassuring me and giving updates and sending photos. She was quick to respond to any message I sent. I will definitely use her again. She even was concerned about an insect bite that I had on my foot and offered to keep Nova extra for me to go to the doctor. Great young lady.”
“This whole family really loves dogs and you can tell. If you want your dog loved and cared for the way you would, Kristin and Michael are who you need! They did a fantastic job with my Pyrenees and I will definitely be bringing him back!”

“Our Darby has been well cared for each time she has stayed with Francie. When you see them greet each other there is obvious affection between them. Darby’s eagerness to go with her always eases my separation troubles, knowing she is happy.”
“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”
“Katie saved me with a last minute request and took amazing care of our 1yr old boxer. She sent photos throughout and when we picked her up I could tell she was at ease from her stay. She took her on walks, played and cuddled, and will definitely rebook with her.”

“Linda and Dwight are absolutely wonderful! Our pup had a harder than usual time adjusting the first night and they were so patient with him. Next thing you know he thought of them as his second home! I also sincerely appreciated the updates and pictures. Could not recommend them more!”
“Angela B. Was the best I could have ever had to leave my pet with. My dog Rogue had so much fun. She got a lot of attention and affection. Angela sent pictures and videos to assure me that Rogue was doing okay. I will definitely be taking her back for play dates and other vacations”
“Jennifer is a wonderful sitter! My pup Auggie had a great time with her and her pups. She sent lots of pics and just the right amount of communication. She took excellent care of Auggie! Thank you Jennifer!”
“Keni had a great time visiting with Bryan this past week. I received a update everyday on Keni. My old, grumpy pal was living his best life playing with Bryan's other pups. Keni came home clean and loved.”
