“Lindsey and the crew welcomed my dog like a member of the family! The whole fam (and the other pups!) were awesome and I look forward to bringing Maggie back whenever I return to Lusby!”



“My pup had a fantastic stay with Bobbi and her husband. They treated Emma like one of the family. I received photo / video updates daily, which really made it easier knowing she was having fun and well taken care of. Emma got along great with Bobbi's dogs and they were playing together in no time. She had so much fun during her stay, she went right to bed when we got home...always a good sign! I would highly recommend Bobbi and her husband. They were very thorough in making sure that they had the same rules in place for Emma as we do at home in order to make sure she stays within her routine, which was greatly appreciated. If I could give 10 stars I would!”



“I am so thankful that my husband and I found Christine! Charlie LOVED being at her house and when we went to drop him off for his stay he even remembered her from out meet and greet a few weeks before. He made himself right at home when I dropped him off and I swear he didn’t even miss us! He was so well taken care of Christine made sure to go over all of his needs and what he liked and didn’t like with me before I left. I felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with her for the weekend and we will definitely be long term clients for her!”


“Well,recently picked Lily from Christianna's house we all very happy we chose her to take care of our puppy. Her attention to detail, love, and kindness towards Lily made us so comfortable leaving her there for almost a week. Thanks again, and will definitely reach to her again for another visit soon.

“Left my four legged child with Jacqueline for the weekend. She took good care of him and sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated. Highly recommend. Our dog seemed to really enjoy himself with her and her dog Clover. It was a relief to not have to worry about him at all. Plan to have her take care of him for any future needs.”


“Chrishauna and her family was so AMAZING! My fur baby was so well taken care of and loved as if she was their own. They took care of her for almost a week and I got pictures and updates daily. I’m so happy I chose her to care for my fur baby and she will definitely be the only sitter for my family.”


“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”

“Denise took very good care of my dog. He is a rather anxious pet, and she took extra care to sit with him at night and be sure he was comfortable for the night. She stayed in contact with questions and sent pictures of him playing. He had a big yard to play in, and a clean area in her home. She did a great job.”


“Angela was fantastic with Finn and Gus! It was wonderful to get daily pictures of our dogs as well. We were a little late picking up the dogs and she was very flexible. Will definitely be booking with Angela in the future 😊”


“This was our pup’s second stay with Kathryn and she was absolutely amazing both times. She was very flexible and even saved us with a last minute booking for the holidays. She continuously gave us updates and the cutest photos! Bruno loves spending time with Kathryn and will definitely continue to be our go-to when our little fella can’t tag along for trips.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Micaya! From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. My dog absolutely loved her — I could tell by how relaxed and happy he was when I got back. I got regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that Micaya treats every pet like her own. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be booking again!”

Drew R.
“I met Drew at my old job and we instantly hit it off talking about my little boy (Dexter). Well Ive since gotten a new job that demands a lot of my time unfortunately. This makes it hard to walk Dexter when he needs to/I want to. So I reached out to Drew and she very extremely flexible with my schedule. She's always very polite and punctual and has never missed walking Dexter even once. Dexter loves her and since she's started walking him, there have been zero accidents in the house for me to clean up after work. She makes being busy with a pet much easier to handle. 10/10 would recommend”
