1. Michelle T.
“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
2. Alexandra O.
“Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!”
3. Hilary R.
“My 'almost' adult hound had a wonderful time with Hilary and her family. She was taken on walks, petted constantly and had a central place in their home to nap. It was nice getting away for a few nights and not having to worry about the dog. I will definitely send Charlie over there next time I need help with her.”
4. Matt M.
“Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. Our dog Marlowe loved being at his house and having other playmates to be around. He communicated concisely and quickly with us. He took fantastic care of our little one and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
5. Tiffany B.
“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”
6. Emily B.
“I highly recommend Emily as a pet sitter. She took great care of my pets. She was very reliable and attentive that made me feel at ease during my time away. She provided regular updates. I will definitely entrust my furry babies to her again in the future.”
7. Amanda E.
“Amanda was great with our pup Baxter. Contacted her on Wednesday, did a meet-and-greet on Thursday, and she watched him on Saturday. We really appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Baxter is an old dog as well and fit right in with Izzy and Sadie who were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.”
8. Jeffrey H.
“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”
9. DAMACIA J.
“Damacia took great care of Toby when I was out. Always kept me updated with pictures and messages. Toby came back home very happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Damacia for future trips.”
10. Julie W.
“Julie is awesome! She went way above and beyond what I expected and made huge efforts to make Ginger (my high-energy Harrier) comfortable in her home. I love that she used positive reinforcement to keep Ginger inline instead of negative feedback. Ginger even escaped from her house and thank goodness Julie was able to call her back. Julie sent tons of updates via video and pictures keeping me well informed of everything going on during her stay. Ginger had ZERO separation anxiety when I picked her up and brought her back to my house. She normally has very extreme separation anxiety and I was out of town for a long time, so this was a HUGE relief for me (and Ginger I imagine as well!) Having Ginger stay in a loving home environment was so much better for her than the typical dog boarding environments. I feel like I picked up Ginger from an extended sleepover, not an exity filled environment typical to boarding. I highly recommend Julie to watch your pet!!! Your little one will feel so loved and welcomed. Julie is awesome!!!”
11. Cindy S.
“Cindy was super responsive and treated my dog like family! He had a great time with her and I felt comfortable and confident during his stay with Cindy!”
12. Raye J.
“Raye is amazing! I left my two dogs in her care while I was on vacation for an entire week. This was my first time having her as a dog sitter and my first time having the dogs in somebody else’s home while I was away for a while. She provided them with such great care while I was gone and they were so comfortable, which says a lot since one of my dogs is more anxious and timid. But she took great care of them and made them feel right at home: she took them on lots of walks, they got to enjoy her yard, and they got to spend so much quality time with her and her dog Ollie. She had great communication - she sent me lots of updates and pictures daily, so I knew the dogs were doing well while I was gone. It’s never easy leaving my dogs for a long period of time, but she made the experience so much better. I will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anybody else.”
13. Amy M.
“Nola loves happy dog pet care! Amy is great about sending/posting pics throughout her vacay. She even makes homemade treats! Her guest are so spoiled! Any is also very flexible with pick up/drop off times and if we have last minute changes to travel. Nola will definitely be back again! ”
14. Maggie S.
“Maggie and Doug were amazing with our dog. He has anxiety issues with strangers but he stayed 10 days and came home calm and relaxed. Highly recommend !!”
15. Blythe R.
“Blythe took good care of my pup. She’s mature, calm and communicative. She was flexible when my schedule changed and I would definitely book again.”
16. Kaitlin H.
“It was our first time having our fur-baby dog-sat and Kaitlin exceeded our expectations! Kaitlin watches a few dogs at a time, so Beau was able to hang out with other dogs (which he loves!). I was worried about him interacting with the cat, but apparently the cat is mad cool and they got along. She was always super quick to respond and Beau seemed to have a good time!”
17. John K.
“John was great! Excellent communication and flexibility. Sent great pictures of our good boy clearly having a blast. We’ll definitely be back!”
18. Cindy T.
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with Baloo! She provided frequent updates and pictures and Baloo came back happy and calm. Would definitely use her services again!”
19. Dorothy M.
“Dorothy was amazing! She is super caring and responsive, and made it really easy for me to know what my puppy was up to throughout the day. Would definitely recommend her for anyone!”
20. Emily P.
“Emily did a great job taking care of our dog! She is easy to communicate with and sends lots of photo updates. We will definitely leave Louie with Emily again 😊”
