Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.

Katie is an amazing sitter. She watched our dog Ramen for a week. She kept him active with walks and took so many pictures/videos. Her dogs are so cute and they became bffs. We were so lucky to have Katie as our sitter. Her communication is exceptional and I can tell she really loves what she does. Please have Ramen back!

Ashley was absolutely wonderful to have take care of my dog. It was an easy stay to manage where she made sure his time was full of loving and walks (including plenty of photos). He was exhausted and happy the day I picked him up; I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere for their pup to stay and have a great time.

Monika and her pet family were wonderful with my two dogs. My dogs got along well with her pets and loved the large, fenced back yard. My older dog is deaf and has some GI issues requiring medication which Monika took care of for me. The pictures she sent on a daily basis showed how happy they were and cared for. They stayed for a week and loved every minute with her family.

Deborah was outstanding. We were nervous about leaving our 2 year old dog for the first time, knowing he'd never spent time apart from us and that he is a bit of a handful. Deborah was attentive, loving and patient with him. She sent us regular updates, which really put our mind at ease. It was such a blessing to know that he was safe and tended in her care. We are very grateful to her and would definitely turn to her in the future.

Roxanne was just so wonderful and I knew Macy, my 14 yr. old pup would be well taken care of and loved while with Roxanne. Roxanne was totally comfortable with the needs of a senior dog and made her feel right as home as soon as we walked in. Roxanne sent photos and kept me updated as to how Macy was settling in. Roxanne was very flexible with out drop off and pick up times and was so well organized around that. When I picked Macy up I could see she was so well cared for and I would highly recommend Roxanne.

Thank you Remy and Kevin for taking such great care of Lucky! She had a wonderful time at your house, especially in the fort you built her on the couch. Our family appreciated the updates and pictures you shared while we were away. It looked like Lucky was on her own special vacation too. :-) To those looking for a pet sitter who will treat your furry friend like a true member of the family, look no further! Remy and Kevin are the best!

Augie and Otis have been cared for by Debbie, Mike, and family exclusively for the last four years. I know that they are in good hands of these caring animal lovers. My only hesitation of rating them so high, is that they may get so many new clients, they may be booked up when I need their services. Thanks Debbie, Mike, and family.
