âBrittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he âfoundâ . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We canât thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.â

âSuzanne and her family were perfect for Brody! We were not even sure if he wanted to come back home with us! I can highly recommend Suzanne! You doggie will feel home from day one. Thank you, Suzanne!â

âJessica was wonderful with our springer spaniel pup. She took her for walks every day, made sure she had plenty of play time, and was well loved during our vacation. She sent updates with pictures every morning and night!! I would highly recommend Jessica.â

âKristin was great to work with! Her communication was excellent, she gave us daily updates and she was very understanding of my super shy dog. We would definitely book with Kristin again!â

âThis was my first time using the app, and I couldnât be happier with the care Laura provided. She was friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to communicate with throughout my dogâs stay. I really appreciated the regular photos and updatesâit gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would happily use her services again and highly recommend her.â

âSabina saved my life! I needed a last-minute sitter and she was responsive, communicative, and understanding of my up-in-the-air plans as the big snowstorm barreled into town. She has a very calming energy, which I think my dog picked up on immediately and he warmed right up to her and her adorable dog. I cannot express the peace of mind she gave me knowing my dog was safe and happy if my travel plans were delayed. Would happily rebook!â

âThey were great with my dog. Sent photos everyday, gave him plenty of attention & he was a happy little guy. I will definitely use this family again to watch my dog.â

âStephen was a great fit for my Abbie. He and his wife took excellent care of her and sent pictures en very day and a couple of videos. It was my first time leaving her with someone outside her home environment. I have already booked him for another week in September. I highly recommend him if you need to board your dog.â

âElizabeth and her family were wonderful with Sully! He received the best care with them. Elizabeth also sent lots of photo updates and kept us appraised of how he was doing while we were away. We would absolutely have Sully stay with Elizabeth again!â

âI've already re-booked! The entire process with Shannon was seamless, from the meet and greet which we did in advance to Spencer's first overnight! HIGHLY recommend. When we did the meet and greet, Shannon spent about and hour with Spencer and I, giving us the opportunity to see how he interacted with her daycare dogs as well as with her personal dogs. She has a huge, fenced in yard, which is very well gated off and contained. She took the time to get him used to her outdoor area, as well as her home. I was very comfortable knowing he would be safe, and well cared for. During his overnight stay, she texted me several times, with photos and let me know he was doing well. Spencer came home from his visit tired from playing with doggie friends, and well cared for. I have already booked future visits and I highly recommend!â

âAmanda and her family provided great care to my senior and ailing beagle. Her frequent messages and pictures went a long way towards easing our worries about how our fur baby Jojo was doing while we were away.â

About: Experience with small and large birds, cats and multiple dog breeds. We are a family of four who love animals of all kinds. Iâm Amanda, the daughter of a pet store owner and animal advocate. I grew up with dogs, cats and many exotic animals in my home. Pat, dad to our velcro kitty has experience with large dogs. We have two daughters. A teenager and an almost teenager. Both share the same passion for animals that we do and have experience in dog training. We share our home with Ruby, our tiny toy poodle with a big personality, Mavis and Shadow, rescue cats who love to eat and relax in a sunny window and Luna the lovebird who loves to play peek-a-boo. One of us is home all day Thursday-Sunday so there is plenty of time to dedicate to cuddles, enrichment and exercise! Monday- Wednesday can be arranged with a bit of notice. Our pets are well loved and spoiled. Weâd love to spoil your babies too! Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will be on leashes or on a run when outside. Comfortable with crating, gating or free range of the house. There is plenty of room for everyone to have space separately or together. Happy to do drop-ins for walks, feeding or playtime!
âEva was great. She sent multiple pictures, walked her numerous times and Ellie was more comfortable with Eva that she was asking for b(Ellie) rubs :) I'd recommend Eva to all my friends who have dogs.â

âI was extremely nervous leaving our 1 year old with someone other than my family as she hasn't left us since we adopted last July. However, my fears were calmed leaving Demi with Nuno. My husband had a great meet and greet and then she stayed with Nuno for a couple nights. Nuno has a wonderful friendly dog, Bisca, and a large yard for the dogs to play. He also has children who showered Demi with love also. â¤ď¸ Great communication while he watched her and I'm already booking him again for our next weekend away!â

âMelissa was very easy to deal with and our dog Sammy seems to have had a great time with her. Melissa gave us several updates on Sammy and sent us lots of pictures of her adventures. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone.â

âWe can visit our kids in CA without worry because Melisaâs here for our two Coton de Tulear puppies. They come back happy and well cared for. Melisa was also flexible when our flights were delayed because of snow. When we have to leave our puppies behind, Melisa and family are always our first choice.â
