“We are so happy to have finally found someone to care for our dog Sarabi and love her as much as we do when we are away! You can’t put a price tag on peace of mind, and Mary & Casey take this to the next level. There is plenty of great communication while Mary & Casey take care of the most specific details to ensure dogs are comfortable during their stay. We will be back again and again! Thank you so much!”
“Alexis is extremely responsive and reliable. I’ve had to board my dog for several days at a time and every time have come home to a very happy and well exercised puppy. 😊”
“Melissa was very flexible and communicative. My dog stayed with her for an overnight on New Year’s Eve. She sent me 2 pictures of him which was very nice. Simple and easy and my dog came home happy”
“So kind! Lisa kept me updated all throughout my cats time there, sending me multiple photos daily. She had fresh litter waiting and plenty of beds for them to lay in. She kept them company and showed them lots of love for me while I was gone. Communication was great and I appreciate all of her help. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future if needed. Thanks Lisa for your hospitality! 🐱”
“Toby had a great time with Jenn and Brian. Jenn took pics to send of the daily school walk with Toby. Looking forward to his stay at the end of July.”
“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”
“Ruth did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. She kept me updated and even sent pictures. I am excited to know I have a new pet sitter!!”
“I wasn’t able to make my booking with Ashley due to some unforeseen family circumstances, but I did make sure she was paid for her inconvenience regardless. Lovely person & and I’m sure a great sitter! Hopefully, I will be able to use her services in the future!!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“Michelle was the best! She was very communicative, and sent pictures daily of Honey. This was Honey's 2nd time being away from us in the 7 years we've had her. She made her feel comfortable and right at home. I will definitely being using her in our future travels. I highly recommend Michelle. You will not be disappointed!”
“Carol was wonderful with Star. Being an old dog I have not left her with a non-family member in a long time. I felt very good leaving Star in Carol's care. Star even snuggled with Carol's other old dogs. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“From the onset, it was clear how much of a dog lover Dani is. Her genuine enthusiasm and excitement to watch Jethro really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I received daily updates with plenty of pictures, and I could tell that Jethro was not only comfortable, but that he was being well taken care of. It's safe to say that Dani will be my first choice anytime I am in need of a sitter going forward, and I highly recommend her to anyone that wants the best sitter for their pet and peace of mind while they are away. Thanks again Dani!”
“This was our first stay with Ana and it was great. She treated our dog Iike her own and also gave him Christmas presents which was not necessary but appreciated. We will be booking Ana again.”
“I am beyond happy with Kelly. She took such good care of Molly. I received pictures everyday and Molly always looked so happy. Will definitely be using Kelly again to take care of Molly.”
“Our first overnight stay for George at Sarah's home went great! Sarah carefully monitors dog play between her dog and George, and this time she introduced a much smaller dog to George and it was all good. Sarah treats our dog thoughtfully and with love. She understands that he's only 7 months old and full of energy.”
“We dropped our 3 year old Cavachon Peri with Kherysten for a 5 night stay and had a wonderful experience. Kherysten was so loving and kind. She provided photos along the way and would respond immediately to our notes. She has two of her own dogs and Peri befriend her large dog and would follow him all over. Peri loved her large fenced yard, so he could run all over and play. We definitely recommend Kherysten and will be using her going forward.”
“She treated my dog so great. Even made her a necklace which she loves. Highly recommend to others.”
“My two guys were well taken care of. Very friendly host and sent us pictures while we were away. Even let us know when our dogs weren't eating that much and offered to buy wet dog food to mix in with dry food. Will use them again!”
“Juniper and Tay just finished their second stay with Madeline. This stay was much longer than the first. They were happy to see her when they arrived and seemed to remember her. During their stay Madeline went above and beyond to make our girls comfortable and happy! In addition she sent daily pictures and updates to keep our minds at ease. We highly recommend Madeline!”
