“Our dog Frida just finished her second boarding visit and loved her time with Brit and her family. It’s truly a home away from home for her. We got daily photos and updates. We have an older dog with diabetes and Brit was so helpful in being able to assist her in her feeding/medication requirements. Frida adores Brit, her family, and their dog and we look forward to using their services again moving forward!”

10. Ilona Arabelle V.

“Arabelle was absolutely incredible! My pup Pretzel had the best time ever! He was treated like family and got so much love from Arabelle! She took Pretzel on so many great walks and got lots of snuggles and playtime! Arabelle was also very responsive and sent many cute videos, picture, and updates throughout Pretzel’s stay. She was beyond amazing that I was afraid Pretzel wouldn’t want to leave!! We (especially Pretzel) can’t wait to use Arabelle again when we need a sitter for Pretzel! ❤️”

13. Laura G.

“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”


14. Brittany W.

“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”


15. Elisse C.
“Elisse has been an absolute godsend for our furry family!!! We have five special needs dogs that each require different medications. (For real, we have a spreadsheet with instructions for breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime.) Elisse has been diligent in understanding how to deliver the meds and to which pups, and she even added some additional weekly household tasks to our chart. Most importantly, when I was traveling, and my husband had a medical emergency, she was our hero to jump in and make sure the dogs were ok while my husband was in the hospital until I returned home. 100% trust Elisse with my home and pets. Oh, AND the dogs LOVE her!”


16. Emily G.

“Emily was great, kept us updated, would def use her again”


17. Suzanne B.


“Suzanne was fantastic with my pup in the four days I was out of town. Goldie was very nervous during the meet and greet and when first getting dropped off, but Suzanne made her feel right at home. She kept me updated with pictures and texts each day. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Suzanne in the future!”


18. Joe B.

“We were very happy with Sophie’s time with Joe, Kelly, and their sweet young son. We arranged a quick visit ahead of time for Sophie to meet them and to see their home and space. They communicated effectively and sent pics during our vacation. We will definitely use them again, should we need care for Sophie.”


19. Madison S.

“It was smooth and seemless process. Madison did a great job watching our dog and we appreciated the daily updates. We will be using her future trips!!”


20. Laura C.

“Our son was getting married in upstate NY so we needed a sitter for our dog Kai while we were away. We have always left Kai with either family or friends, but since everyone we knew was attending the wedding I reached out to Laura. We set up a meet and greet -I knew from the first time I met her that she was a perfect match. She was warm and kind - obviously a dog lover - and she made a connection with our normally shy dog right away. She asked a lot of questions about Kai's habits - she wanted to make sure she followed his normal daily routine so that he would be comfortable in her home.. Her house is beautiful and she has a large, fenced in back yard that allowed Kai to run free in a safe environment. Laura took him for a 3 mile daily walk, and sent many pictures and updates the whole 6 days she had him. He became a part of her family❤️ I cannot say enough about how happy we were to have found her. She gave us peace of mind that Kai was well loved and cared for so we were able to enjoy the wedding without any worries. I would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter!!”
