“Mark and Vicky are a dream come true for our Jack Russell Cato, a 11 year old rescue with fear aggression issues with other dogs (there are three on the planet he loves, though). The anxiety when leaving for the kennel that kept him from day one was just getting to be too overwhelming for us and for Cato. Mark and Vicky have a lovely fenced back yard with dozens of squirrel targets of opportunity for Cato. He settled in with them, had lots of walks, and probably began to wear a path in their rug playing fetch with squeaky toys. We are grateful we found Mark and Vicky and the peace of mind they give us.”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Mark and Elizabeth took excellent care of my baby boy Quincy!🐾. They were very good about giving me daily pictures and updates on how he was doing. Since they limit the number of pets that they board they were very attentive to whether he was eating, drinking water, sleeping well, napping a lot 😊. He loved going on walks with them. I knew he was in good hands when I dropped him off and he didn’t try to follow me out the door like he normally does. I highly recommend them if they are available.”
“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”
“We are very happy we found you and for taking in Eevee as another one of your family for this two week boarding. We could tell that Eevee was happy and content with you. We will definitely look to you first in the future for our boarding needs.”
“Mabel had an absolute blast with Paula, Bill and their dog Marty. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Mabel in their care and was provided with regular updates throughout her stay. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”
“Megan & her family are the best!! It was the first time I had been away from Bailey Rae overnight & was so anxious! She put my fears to rest & was beyond kind in taking such great care of Bailey! Bailey was well cared for & loved! She had so much fun she was worn out for 2 days!! I would highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs you may have!”
“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”
“Jenna did such an excellent job taking care of our pup. We have never used a service like this before but felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with Jenna and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!”
“I am so fortunate to have found Susan. She is very gentle and kind. My dog Teddy took to her immediately as well as to her husband and lab Jonah. Susan sent pictures and updates throughout the 3 1/2 days that Teddy was boarded with her. I will definitely use Susan for future boarding and/or daycare. In this short period of time that I have known Susan, it feels as if I’ve known her for years. I highly recommend Susan.”
“Anita, Ryan, and Fern are seriously the BEST petsitters one can ever ask for. Max (my now 10-month shiba inu) was so happy! He smells better than ever! Anita must be wiping him several times a day :) Also, he is very happy and has a shining coat! looks so healthy and happy.. what more can I ask for! This was the longest time away from my fur baby, more than 3 weeks! but he was in excellent hands! Thank you so much Anita, Ryan, and Fern!! (Fern is Max's stepsister he always wanted)”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Madison did a fantastic job! Bucky seemed so happy and she gave us daily updates so we wouldn't worry about how he was doing... including some great pics! Thanks again Madison!”
“Maddy was a god send ! I booked her last minute after a cancellation and she immediately jumped in. She was communicative and even picked up for me as I was in a bind. She sent pictures everyday and I felt so reassured my dog was happy, comfortable and well taken care of. Maddy is an absolute angel, Thank you darling !”
“Tyler kept good care of Scout when I had to go out of town. Scout doesn't care for stairs and Tyler was very patient with him. Tyler was the only sitter I reached out to that replied. I would not hesitate to have Tyler watch Scout again.”

My Bailey and Baker stayed with Hanna for the first time last night..Hanna was great with them. They seemed to like her a lot. They came home happy and healthy. I will definitely use her in the future. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her..Highly recommend!!!
Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.
Nick came through in a pinch when I had to leave town, and took Jax again for me even though he is bigger than most dogs he usually watches. Jax loves Nick and his whole family. Sometimes it's hard to trust someone with your fur babies, but I 100% trust him with Jax - he is great with communicating any questions or concerns to ensure the stay is as comfortable as possible for both the pets and his family included. He is very highly recommended in my book !!
