1. Katherine M.
“We couldn’t be more grateful to Katherine for taking care of Smokey like he was her own! She accepted our last-minute request without hesitation, which truly saved us. Throughout Smokey’s stay, Katherine kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us peace of mind. She took him on walks around the neighborhood, and it was clear Smokey felt comfortable and happy in her care. Katherine has been amazing, and we will definitely be returning to her in the future. Highly recommend!”
2. Michelle I.
“So many pictures of a happy pup with these two. They took great care of my guy and I will definitely hire them again! Thank you so much for helping out in a pinch and with such a short turnaround!”
3. Evita G.
“Evita was very accommodating with changes to my schedule, great at communicating, and kept me updated with messages and adorable photos. It was a relief knowing my pup was in great hands. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
4. Christine & Steven T.
“Mossy was very cared for during her stay with Christine and Steven. She got frequent walks and even a bath! We would definitely have Mossy stay with Christine and Steven again.”
5. Brittany K.
“Brittany was a delight! She took wonderful care of our pup who was clearly in love with her by the time we picked him up. Very communicative and easy to work with. Can't wait to work with her again!”
6. Ian S.
“Blueberry came back happy and tired after staying with Ian!”
7. Shari G.
“Shari treated my very skittish guy with a ton of patience, kindness and great humor! She gave me daily reports, sent pictures of him, and added flair with her top graphic designer skills. Clearly, she enjoys and takes good care of her guests!”
8. Patricia K.
“We felt very fortunate that Patricia took care of our 2 dogs. I would recommend her to anyone. We felt that our animals were cared for, had great communication, and an overall great experience.”
9. Jason W.
“Jason Wheeler has truly become their home away from home. They're excited to see him when they get there. They always come home looking happy and healthy.”
10. Michelle Suzanne J.
“Michelle was an outstanding sitter with a warm, welcoming attitude in spite of my little dog getting sick on the morning of the sit which created some "complications". She was gracious, kind, and very thorough and organized with details, and by far, one of the best dog sitters I have ever had! She understood fully what was expected and followed directions to a tee! Her children are delightful and her home accommodated my dog perfectly with its fenced back yard located right off of the family room. I very much look forward to our next sit!”
11. Eve B.
“Eve was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pit bull mix, Maizy for an extended stay. My partner and I felt so at peace knowing Maizy was well cared for while we were on vacation. We were initially very anxious to leave her with anyone due to some separation anxiety and reactivity issues. Eve handled her with such care. We received daily updates with photos, too. I would absolutely recommend Eve for your pet!”
12. Paul I.
“Paul and Arnel do a great job of caring for our pooch. They give her not just feeding, treats, and walks but clearly -- from great photos sent daily -- lots of affection and curled-up comfort. As repeat customers, it's a real comfort for *us* knowing we can leave her in such good hands.”
13. Rob & Kristi W.
“Rob and Christi were amazing dog sitters! They kept me updated throughout the stay, sharing photos and messages that gave me peace of mind. My dog seemed incredibly happy and well cared for when I returned.”
14. Jake C.
“We so appreciated Jake watching our 6 month old golden while we were away. Our pup seemed to love playing with his dog Zoey and we felt relieved knowing he was getting to have some fun, too! : ) Jake was very responsive and easy to coordinate with.”
15. Hope T.
“5 stars seems low! Without going into details, I made a booking mistake and Hope went above and beyond to help fix it. She was consistent (and cute) with her updates, very detailed in her understanding of my dog's med schedule and Darla very clearly misses her backyard access. Hope made my dog and I feel very comfortable and confident and I would absolutely trust her without a single qualm with my pup again.”
16. Zack R.
“Zack took extra great care of my dog Busy over the holidays and would definitely him for anyone who has a dog with special needs. He is super accommodating and communicative. I’ll have him dog sit for me anytime!”
17. Bonnie S.
“Bonnie was great to work with when she took care of my Jarvis when I went out of town for a few days. She is very communicative and provides photo updates regularly. Would definitely re-book w/ Bonnie again in the future.”
18. Maggie S.
“Maggie is the best sitter ever. I never had to worry when Pepper Jack was in her care. I hope she's doing well and we really miss her in NOLA.”
19. Kristopher S.
“Kristopher did a great job watching Milo! We got pics while we were away and when traffic was bad on the way to pick him up, Kristopher was super understanding. Milo was happy and super relaxed for the next couple days after he got back—it seems like he got a lot of play time in! I would definitely book with Kris again and would recommend him to others.”
20. John G.
“John was great with the dogs. We were a bit nervous to leave our 6 month old puppy but would happily do it again with John. His home was safe, we received lots of pictures, and he truly cared about or pups.”
