“Katherine did such an amazing job with my pups! They were absolutely loved and cared for. They had such a blast. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I wanna keep her services a hidden gem. She’s the best sitter we’ve had so far!”
“I recently used Jennifer services, and I couldn't be more pleased. From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely care about animals. They were very attentive to my dog's needs, ensuring that they had plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. My dog, who can be a bit anxious when I'm away, seemed incredibly relaxed and happy when I returned. JD sent me regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. The house was spotless when I got back, and it was clear that JD had gone above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog babysitter. I'll definitely be using them again in the future!”
“Mariah was amazing! Panda loves her so much to the point he cried on the way home. She was very nice, patient with him and sent lots of pictures and videos. She kept me updated on his progress and even if something changes she was sure to let me know right a way. My fur baby loves her , she will always be his number one pick! We will definitely be back!”
“Diana an angel. Took great care of my very strange acting dog. Feed him as requested my home made dog food lots of potty and outside play time and sends out lots of pictures and videos of how much fun my boy was having. Highly Highly recommend.”

“Michelle and Christy were outstanding!! We received a text and pics every day and we could see that our little dogs were happy and comfortable staying with them. Our dogs were outside running with their dogs and living the good life while we were on vacation. The care and attention that our babies were given allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in excellent hands. I would highly recommend Michelle and Christy to other pet parents!! 🥰”

“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”
“Julie and family went above and beyond taking care of our attention loving guy. We appreciated the text and picture updates and the good communication/ flexibility.”
“Very accommodating and good with our girls. Will definitely use again.”

“Beth was excellent! This was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Beth (and her sweet little dog Gracie!) and will be sure to reach out to her again when needed. Thank you so much, Beth!”
“Jennifer sent so many pictures which makes the separation from my fur baby a lot easier. Lucy seemed very content and was a “pooped pooch” when I picked her up. She loved playing with Jennifer’s pups. A tired pup is a good pup. I’m so glad I found Jennifer & her family. Will be requesting her for Lucy in the future.”

What a great stay! Tami had great communication before and during the stay. She also sent lots of pictures of Faye playing with her two fun labs, Dolly and Bear . She has a great fenced in area for lots of play time and Faye felt right at home. They had a weekend of fun and Faye was worn out! Tami was flexible and willing to give Faye medicine as we had a last minute vet trip right before our trip. Will definitely be back!
