“TEN STARS⭐️ I can’t say enough about how wonderful this experience was for me and my dog Andy. I was uneasy at first since I was using a pet sitter for the first time. Athena and Richi put my mind at ease with their positivity and by sending numerous photos and videos daily. They kept me posted on eating, activities, and behavior with Andy meeting new friends. Everything went smoothly and I knew he was in good hands! Athena and Richi spoiled Andy and I’m now very comfortable with going back for future visits. THANK YOU! 😊”


“Heather took the best of care of our little old man and even went out of her way to help us with drop off and met us at a convenient location! She kept us up to date with pictures and updates. We will definitely have her watch our pup again!”


“Our pups had a great stay with Matty and Nicole. Great communication and responsive to any messages. Thanks for taking care of Boyd and Rocco!”


“Bella & Ricky (and Tuuka!) were incredible with our dog Sky! We were a little last minute to book and they were super flexible. Our booking coincided with a hurricane, and they were incredibly accommodating to still watch her even though they had to deal with post storm clean up. They sent so many updates & photos during the week and we were happy to know that Sky was having the best time without us! We will definitely book again without question. Very happy to have found a great family for our fur baby when we aren't home.”

“Jessica and Colin made our little Mira feel like she was at home. It was her vacation home. I felt so comfortable leaving her with them and their 2 children. I love that they sent me updates on how she was doing even sent a picture of Mira with their older daughter. It was very sweet to have had the daughter make Mira a clay bone as a gift. I would 110% rebook with Jessica and Colin any time. <3 <3”

“I highly recommend Marissa! She and her husband are kind, genuine people and it was wonderful being on vacation with my family having peace of mind knowing our pups are in good hands in a loving home. Marissa is highly communicative and sent lots of pics of our dogs with big smiles on their faces. Also great Marissa kept our younger very active Carolina Dog engaged with daily walks and lots of stimulation while accommodating our older lab Bleu too. Finally want to point her dogs Frankie and Grizzly are great as well. I feel like our dogs got their own vacation when we can back from ours! Again I highly, highly recommend Marissa.”

From our initial meet and greet, a 7 day stay, and to the day we picked Ruger up Leslie communicated, sent photos daily, and we could tell that Ruger was thoroughly enjoying himself. It was a very comfortable experience for all. Leslie exceeded our expectations! We will definitely call on her in the future. Thank You!!”

“Great Pet Sitter! Grateful to Tuany for caring for our little daschund mix while we traveled. Tuany only takes one pet at a time, which allowed her to give Lucy plenty of attention in a quiet setting. When we picked up Lucy, she was relaxed and happy, consistent with an excellent stay. One could tell that Lucy had developed a real affection for Tuany and her little boy. Tuany was great about communicating with me by text. She provided an occasional photo and update while we were away, just as I had requested. Tuany is an excellent pet sitter and genuinely lovely person.”
