“Alan was very positive.He sent pictures and comments, and he also was patient with our change in plans. We hope that he'll be able to watch Hershey again sometime because it was a great experience for our dog.”
“Erin provided outstanding pet sitting services for my 3-month-old chihuahua puppy, Java. She was extremely friendly, offered reasonable prices, and kept me updated daily. Java was clearly well cared for and happy, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Erin to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“We can't wait to take Stella back! She loved her stay and I loved the communication and pictures we got! I've already rebooked three additional stays. Our experience could not have been better!”
“Kaitlin and her family were so kind and caring towards our dog, captain. This was our first time leaving him in someone else’s home, so I was a bit nervous. Kaitlin was great with updates and really made captain feel comfortable! He really enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be using their service again!”
“Great experience! Our very high energy pup returned from his weeklong stay happy and relaxed. Hosts have an awesome backyard for running, playing, and hanging out. We received photo and video updates daily so there was no uncertainty on how our dog was doing at any point. Great communication and no worries at all the entire stay. Will book again when we need pet care! Way better than boarding :)”
“Rachel and her family were fantastic with Lily! I loved how I got updates and pictures on how Lily was doing everyday I was away. I will definitely have Rachel watch my girl Lily again!”
“Penny was fantastic with my pup! It was such a gift to find her and know he was in good hands when we were out of town. My puppy is a challenging, high energy guy, who could not stay just anywhere. Penny has so much knowledge and provided an enriching environment for him with new experiences. She even spent time training him, including new cues like having him lay down on his bed. I received daily updates and photos from Penny and will surely use her again if needed!!”
“Stephaine is literally the best dog sitter an owner could ever ask for. Super attentive always in contact and communicating how your Pet is doing. Cannot thank you enough for everything that she is done for us.”
“LaTonya was the best. I would definitely use again. My dig is a senior with some hearing problems. I admit, I was nervous leaving him for 2 says, but she sent pictures and nessages to reassure me that my baby would be taken care of. I was able to enjoy my stay-cation. She's awesome”
“Sandy was great! My pup wasn’t feeling the best and Sandy did everything she could to make her comfortable. She really treated my girl the same way I would and I can always appreciate that. She was also great with sending pictures and communicating. Will for sure return to her.”
“Autumn did an awesome job watching my dogs! Very responsive and willing to negotiate my weird schedule at the last minute. She took some adorable pictures and her daughters were very friendly and gave the dogs lots of love and attention! Would definitely recommend.”
“We are so grateful to have found Lisa to care for our dog, Lilly! She watched Lilly for four days and was absolutely amazing. From the start, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a relief to be able to get away and not worry about the care Lilly was receiving—we knew she was in great hands. Lisa went above and beyond, and we could tell she truly cared about Lilly. We’re moving soon and only wish we had found her sooner. If you're looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter, we can't recommend Lisa enough!”
“Marisa took great care of my elderly (age 17) dog, Nora. She really enjoyed her weekend stay there, and liked being able to go out into her fenced yard. I appreciate the excellent care Marisa gave Nora very much and enjoyed the photos she sent.”

“Kimberly was amazing!! My pups had a good weekend staying with her. She kept me updated and I felt secure with leaving my babies in her care. Will definitely use her again! Thank you again!”
“Cindy was great! I was in a pinch and needed to find someone quick. I was a little nervous, at first, because Kelly can get really anxious with strangers. I'm so glad I found Cindy and her family...Kelly had a great time!”
