“Adam was a great sitter for my rambunctious dog, Remy. With Adams' own dogs to play with and a fenced in yard to run, Remy didn't seem ready to come home when I arrived to pick her up. I will definitely take advantage of Adam and his kind hearted service again. He sent pictures and texts to me while I was out of town. I knew Remy was in good hands.”




9. Tyra S.


“This is Onyx's first time with Tyra and I love all the updates/pics from Tyra. I know my dog so it was nice to see her giving me the honest feedbacks and how she cared for him. Love that she has a huge backyard for him to explore and how she play tug of war with him (his fav sport). I know that Tyra spent time with my Onyx because he came home happy and not shy, go to his corner/kennel or sheds like crazy. Thank you Tyra!! We will definitely see you soon.”

20. Jane K.

“Jane was so wonderful with my dog. After meeting with her, I knew Dixie was going to be in great hands. I received a lot of updates throughout my trip, and I could see on the pictures that Dixie was acting like she was at home. Jane understood her personality really well, so I highly recommend her to anyone who feels anxious leaving their pet for a short or long period of time. I already have her booked for my next trip. Jane was also extremely accommodating with the pick up time. After my flight back home got canceled, she understood the circumstances and told me not to worry about Dixie, that she was going to be taken care of. That was such a relief, and so appreciated. Thank you Jane for taking such great care of Dixie!”
