I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!

Dawn and Robert were great with my dog! They have a private fenced in back yard, which is great for my dog who loves to be outside but who doesn't get along with other animals. I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated so I know he's being taken care of. Highly recommended!

It’s the second time we leave our 2 dogs with Liz Marie and her family. They take such a good care of them. She keeps me updated daily with pictures and messages. We’ve tried another person once when she wasn’t available and it was not the same, really. We totally recommend her ❤️

Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!

Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰

Samantha is the best!!! We did a drop in before she dog sat for my little guy and he fell for her right away. She def has a great energy — dogs know these things! She was super communicative and made sure she asked all the questions so she knew how to take the best care of our dog. She also sent updates throughout like letting us know she got him, that he had been fed and went potty, and sending really cute pics which made me very happy ❤️ I would def recommend booking with Samantha and would totally book again ☺️

Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!

Our original boarding fell through the morning we were walking out the door. Katie took Hank on basically no notice — we barely even had time to meet before we left him on her doorstep. She sent photos and videos multiple times a day, and honestly he looked like he was having the time of his life. Total lifesaver.

Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!

AMAZING! Brittney went above and beyond. This was the first vacation my husband and I went on since getting our dog, and I was so nervous because it was a 10 day trip. Brittney was fantastic, sent lots of pictures and updates which made me feel much better about leaving her. She was so sweet, and even did a meet and greet with my dog and I before my trip to make sure we both felt comfortable. I will definitely only be leaving my dog with Brittney for all future vacations, and highly recommend her!!

Deanna is amazing! We are from out of state and we were looking for someone to watch our dog while we were at a wedding. Deanna took the best care of Timber and made her so comfortable! She had space to play, toys to play with, and took lots of notes for being able to take care of Timber to the best of her ability. She also sent us lots of photos and videos which I loved! Will 100% choose Deanna again if we are back in the area!
