5 Stars – Amazing Care for Courtney! Shneila was absolutely wonderful with my dog Courtney. From start to finish, she was communicative, professional, and kind. She made the drop-off and pick-up process smooth, and I could tell Courtney was comfortable and well cared for. I appreciate the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter!

My husband and I really felt great about how Dana took care of our dog Maybelline. She sent us plenty of pictures with Maybelline having fun and sleeping. Maybelline also formed good friendships with Dana’s pets as well. I could see that Maybelline had a great time. I absolutely feel Dana loves animals and gives them the best care available. We plan to request Dana in the future.

Tawni is an amazing pet sitter. Iggy, my pet dog apparently had a great time, evident from the numerous pictures that Tawni shared pro-actively and also she was pretty energized on her return :-) I am sure Iggy did not miss us a bit :-) Thanks Tawni for all your help and support. We sure have found a second home for Iggy in our absence.

There are not enough stars! Domonique was an AMAZING SITTER for my doggy Ziggy. She was very communicative and intentional with her approach on what needed to be done to make his stay at her home comfortable for Ziggy. She updated me with awesome pictures and video and we talked everyday. She didn’t wait for me to reach out she keep the line of communication open and even asked me how my time away was. Ziggy has a new dog auntie that he loves and I will keep her on speed dial. He missed his buddies King and Archie (two other dogs that were there). Thank you so much Domonique for showing my doggie love, care and respect.

Janell and family were amazing with my pup! Very accommodating and quick to reply. She always kept us up to date with how she was doing and included cute pictures. Her house has a nice fenced backyard which is great for dogs. My pup is 10 years old with medication and Janell was able to give with treats and no issues. I highly recommend Janell for all your dog care needs.

Torrey was a dream & I can’t recommended her enough! I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time with someone other than family and Torrey really helped me feel at ease. She took a bunch of pictures of him and made sure to communicate about how he was doing. She took him running and treated him like her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!

Erika was amazing! She did a great job sending updates and pictures. I felt so calm knowing that Ollie was being looked after with the utmost care. She went above and beyond by taking Ollie on hikes, long walks, and abiding by all his little quirks. I could tell Ollie had a blast and loved playing with her sweet dog, Kru. The day I was supposed to pick Ollie up, my flight was delayed til super late, and Erika was extremely responsive and cooperative working with me to find the best way to handle the pickup. She truly knows what a dog parent wants when letting someone watch their pup, and she’ll treat them like on of her own!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Tiffany for taking such wonderful care of our dog! He stayed with her for six days, and from the very beginning it was clear that he was in kind, loving, and reliable hands. Tiffany is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible, and she immediately built a great connection with our dog. She followed all of our instructions perfectly — feeding, walks, and daily routine were all handled with great care. Tiffany also provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dog wasn’t just being “watched,” but truly cared for and treated like part of the family. We picked up a happy, calm, and well-cared-for dog. We would absolutely book with Tiffany again without any hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dedicated pet sitter.

Ana did such a wonderful job watching our senior dog, George, and our kitty, Indy while we were out of town for almost two weeks! It was for such a long period of time so finding the right person to watch our two babies was hard but Ana was the perfect choice! Indy was well loved and Ana’s cats loved playing with her. George got daily walks and seemed to fit right in with Ana and her family. Thank you so much Ana for taking care of them and the strong communication!
