“We are completely satisfied at the care our dog received from Tiffany. We received lots of photos and updates through the week he was there. He got his own little get away while we took our trip. We 100% would use her again and highly recommend.”

“Kathryn gave my buddy Cowboy to the best vacation while I was out of town. He laid on the couch, played with Potatoe, and received all the love I could ask for. Highly recommended.”

“Great experience with my anxious kitty. I had never boarded my cat before and Angela kept me updated on everything from litter box usage to energy levels. She sent pictures multiple times a day and was very responsive. The cat has their own private space where they can be comfortable in a new place.”


“I had to leave my dog for a longer period than I ever have before, and I was really nervous about it. That completely changed when I met Jerrie! She was so kind and understanding about my anxiety, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my trip, she communicated consistently and sent photos, which made such a difference and helped me relax knowing my dog was in good hands. When I picked her up, it was clear my dog was happy to see me, but also that she had truly bonded with Jerrie and loved her. That meant everything to me. I will absolutely be using Jerrie from now on whenever I need to leave my dog. Highly recommend!”

“Another satisfying stay! It is such a relief to actually trust someone with my dog. My dog has a high-maintenance raw diet, and Stacey is so flexible with it. She is flexible about everything. ”

“Jesse was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bella. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets he looks after. While we were away, he sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We recently moved to the area and had to board Bella a few times before finding Jesse—and those experiences were stressful for both her and for us. This was completely different. Bella was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for in his home. It made such a difference knowing she was in such great hands. We’re so grateful to have found Jesse and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”

“Cale was so awesome to our girl! Daily updates accompanied by photos helped us rest easier during our travels. Would absolutely leave our precious pup in his care again in the future!”

“Connie did a super job of looking after our Stinky! She often sent photos and a video, keeping us posted on how he was doing. He made a special friend and looks like he had a great time! I’d highly recommend Connie to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Amanda took great care of our worried whippets! It took a day or 2 for the younger one to settle down but they were pretty comfortable after that. 8 nights she watched them and I could tell they did well because they actually ate most of their food! Ellie & Laney can't wait to stay again😊”

“Raegan took such good care of our dog, sending pics and notes throughout his stay. She accommodated our last minute request and was kindly flexible with our unplanned & unavoidable changes in dropoff and pick up times. Thank you so much, Raegan! We will not hesitate to have our dog stay with you again!”

“Mabel loved Joe, she was very attentive with updates and pictures. We got stuck crossing back over the border and were late picking up our pup and she was very gracious with us about it. We’ve already booked our next sitting with her! Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer and her family were absolutely amazing! She sent updates and pictures every day and told us how he was doing always! Our golden is super shy and skittish, and him being around other pups his age was so good for him. So glad we found them!”

“Colin is great! He sends pics and updates, and my pup is excited and happy when I drop her off. It’s so satisfying to have a sitter that I know my dog likes and is comfortable around. Will 100% use Colin again.”

“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”

“Erica was amazing and came through for a very minute request for a weeklong stay for my dog Luna. She was incredibly caring and responsive and Luna had an amazing time! Would use again in a heartbeat.”
