We can't say enough about Margaret and the care she took of our beloved dog, Maisy. She sent many updates wih great pictures and we felt so comfortable that we had left our dog , for only the second time, in he care. Her dog and cat were also so welcoming to our dog which made her first experience with other pets a great one. We highly recommend Margaret to take wonderful care of your dog too.

Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.

Kirby had another great stay with Tom and Tolley! My only worry—he doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up. 😊 They are so good about sending pictures and updates every day and I know he is always getting the best care.

Michele saved my life, I always take my dog ​​everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.

Very happy with Michelle’s communication and how she treated our pup like he was part of their family. She kindly accommodated a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a good match. She sent occasional cute photos and assured us that he was doing well. We will be rebooking with Michelle next time we need a sitter.

I was a first time boarder and very worried about my rescue, very spoiled bichon poo, that only likes me. I took a chance on Annie and she was perfect! She was so patient with our boy. She sent me videos and photos during the 9 days and even made up the fresh chicken, kibble combo he eats. He loved her dog Cooper and I think really missed him when we got home. I will definitely be calling Annie again!

We had such a great experience with Megan! She took amazing care of Romeo and Athena while we were away. She sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the stay, which made us feel so much more comfortable and connected to them. She took them on many walks, played with them a lot, and really treated them with care and attention. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and pays attention to their personalities and needs. Both dogs came back happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter 😊
