Poppy had a great stay with Erin. I’m thankful she was so flexible with her schedule and we could make it work. I appreciate the great communication and frequent photos. I would absolutely use her again if I was in the area.

Betsy did a great job watching my shy, scarred mini dachshund Frankie. He was a rescue with no social skills and this was his first time being watched by someone else in over a year of having him. I felt that Betsy understood his limitations and was able to comfort him as much as she could. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures of Frankie during my vacation. It made me feel less nervous about leaving him and showed she cared. I was happy to hear that she wanted to watch him again. I highly recommend Betsy for pet sitting! Thanks again for watching Frankie.

It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!

Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.

We had the best experience with Rachel watching our old-lady-dog. She was so warm and inviting when we met a few days before the stay. She texted pictures and little updates throughout the trip. It was a fantastic experience and we will definitely book with Rachel the next time we need a dog-sitter!

Very flexible with scheduling. Followed up with questions during Lyle’s stay to make sure he had a great sitting/overnight experience. We received cute photos, so we knew Lyle was having a great stay—and he even made a few new dog friends and was pooped the next day from all the fun playtime!

This was my dog Odin’s first time staying at a sitter’s for longer than a day or two. I was a little nervous leaving him but I shouldn’t have been. Barbara was so good at keeping me updated with his stay and sent lots of pics while we were away. Odin had a great time playing with her dog as well! We will definitely come back next time we need a sitter.

Maria was an amazing sitter for my dog, Yogi, during her two-week stay! She provided exceptional care, keeping me updated with timely messages, pictures, and details about Yogi’s days. Maria’s spacious yard was perfect for exercise, and her neighborhood provided a great environment for walks. Maria is incredibly responsive and attentive, making the whole experience while I was awayy stress-free. I could see how happy and well-cared-for Yogi was while I was away, and she enjoyed it. Thank you so much, Maria! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter.

Eric and Martha were so sweet to our dog Pluto while we were gone for the weekend! They made him feel like part of the family- he loved getting plenty of cuddles, yard time, and even tagging along for a couple of errands. They treated him like he was one of their own! We loved meeting them and can’t wait till Pluto can have another vacation at their house. :)

Michelle and Stewie were the perfect match for my lil doggo. My dog Fiona is a little shy and awkward around new people. Michelle was great with giving fiona the right amount of attention and space so she could get comfortable. Her dog Stewie, on the other hand, seemed to get fiona right away made clear that they were going to be friends. According to the regular updates we received, Fiona was making herself at home and chillin' with her vacation pack without a thought for us (which is AMAZING for our sweet little rescue). Michelle also does day care in addition to boarding, so Fiona got some extra socialization with other four legged friends and had a blast! The videos and photos of Fiona, Stewie, and friends on walks or playing gave us a ton of joy and peace of mind that Fiona was in good hands. My wife and I are thankful we met Michelle and Stewie. They're definitely our first call the next time we need a dog sitter.
