“As always, Victoria and Rishi did a fantastic job watching Kaia. I received multiple updates on how she was doing along with pictures of her playing. When I dropped her off she was about as excited to see Rishi as she was when I arrived to pick her up. 5/5 would recommend every time!”
“Love Fay, what a wonderful dog sitter, I’d trust Fay with my kids if I had any small children anymore. Fay was very caring, sent me photos around the clock of my dog’s activities which included long walks, napping, making friends with Fay’s dog. It was nice my dog Bao had a friend for a while in her care. I’d rebook with Fay in a heartbeat. Wonderful person.”
“Kasey was watching my lab who has high anxiety, and epilepsy. I was gone for a week during a holiday and my normal sitter fell though; Kasey really saved us. She sent me either a picture or a video or both, every of him. He was well cared for and I appreciate everything she did for us. I could not have been more pleased with her, and her care for my dog in her home.”
“Once again, as we’ve come to expect, Winnie was spoiled to pieces! She came home ready to relax, which is just wonderful after our long road trip. The Salsbury family embrace her and all of her goofiness! She was even taken out for a pup icecream treat, and spent most of her time enjoying the outdoors with the kids. So grateful to have a place for her to be well taken care of and loved on while we are away!”
“Paige has watched our pup several times now and she is really great! Our little girl can be nervous but Paige has worked to make her feel comfortable in her home and with her and her son. Would highly recommend!”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Cari was awesome! I was so worried about my anxious, Velcro dog. But Cari took such good care of him, and so appreciated the updates and pictures. When I picked him up I was overjoyed to see me and wanted to go. But he was shaking and over stressed like he’s been other times. When I come back to my daughters, if we want to go away again for a few days, I will definitely call Cari too take care of him!”
“Rose came home happy and tired. She had the best time with Chris and family. He sent lots of photos over the weekend which was very appreciated. We look forward to using their dog sitting services in the future. Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
“Our 5 year old golden lily stayed with Paul for 2 weeks. We had a meet a bit before we traveled and lily did well at his house meeting him and his dogs dogs. Paul clearly is a pet person! Lily is somewhat anxious but did great while we were away. Paul had strategies during fireworks to help make lily more comfortable. We would recommend and have lily stay with Paul again. Thanks!”
“Haley did a great job watching our Lexi. She provided multiple pictures and videos daily and updated us on how well she was doing. Will definitely be booking again in the near future!”
“Bre was great with Foxie. She treated her as if she were her own. Foxie had a lot of activity with Bre’s family as evidenced by her being so tired when we got home. She put herself to bed early! Thanks, Bre and kids!”
“My pupper spent a week with Damoan and had a wonderful time, he got to socialize with the other dogs and came home tired from playing. She sent us photos while he stayed with her and when I picked him up was clean and a happy boy.”
“We loved Ellen! She provided so many photos and updates and I felt so comfortable with her watching my dog. We'll be going back in the future! Thank you for everything, Ellen!”
“What a great stay our puppy had with Mia. And our dog and hers were fast friends! Mia kept us updated on how the stay was going and treated with our dog with kindness and took care of all oir special needs. We will use Mia again for our dog boarding without hesitation.”
“Shay and her mother watched over Danny and Cassie for a short weekend. She responded quickly, and coordinated a meet and greet within a few days of me reaching out. Her dog Xena was a sweetie pie, and I’m glad my dogs had another big dog to play with. Shay took the time to ensure my dogs adjusted appropriately to the home and other pup as to coordinate the safest environment for everyone. I forgot to bring toys and ended up having a few toys delivered to her home for my dogs to enjoy where there. She accommodated the two beds and kennel I brought for them, and they seemed to enjoy their weekend.”
“Makayla took very good care of our dog Betty. We got a ton of videos and pictures so we knew she was having fun and being cared for. She also got to make some new friends, which is great because Betty loves being around other dogs! We will definitely have Makayla watch her again and we need someone.”
“Erica watched our little Shih Tzu lady for eight days and sent us frequent pictures and videos so we could see how our pup was doing. Communication was easy and stress-free; we recommend her!”

Makayla was absolutely amazing! We honestly really appreciate her being able to take in Rafa with such short notice. Even though it was only for a day, I was still worried about leaving him, and really appreciated the videos and pictures that she sent. It eased my mind to know that my boy was enjoying himself and that he had a good time.
We are grateful for Erin responding to our last minute request! Erin was very responsive and attentive to our fur babies and feathered friend. She was very respectful of our home and left everything tidy. We could trust that she took good care of our pets. Thank you Erin!
Alsacia took care of our cat Monty and dog Bear while we were out of the country and we couldn't be happier with the job she did. Both are a handful to take care of and she was more than up to the task. She was communicative, reassuring, professional, flexible, and a delight overall. We will be rebooking with her in the future!

Tiana is a great sitter! She sends the perfect amount of pictures and updates. She so easy to talk to and so understanding. I never questioned her or worried about my dog while I was gone. She’s got plenty of experience and it shows! Will be rebooking again and you should too!
