“Fergie had a blast Smokey!! Laronna has the perfect set up for watching Fur babies with a fenced in yard and doggie door. She loved on Fergie with plenty of pictures of Said spoiling. Thanks Laronna!”
“This was my first time using the service and I was apprehensive about it but Gabrielle was great about reassuring me and giving updates and sending photos. She was quick to respond to any message I sent. I will definitely use her again. She even was concerned about an insect bite that I had on my foot and offered to keep Nova extra for me to go to the doctor. Great young lady.”
“Shannon was fantastic! She communicated well with us while she watched our boy! She sent pictures to show he was doing fine! We felt at total ease leaving our “kid” in her care… she welcomed doing a meet and greet earlier in the week ( at our request) to introduce our dog to her to before dropping him off later that week. She was very accommodating with our drop off/pickup since we were flying somewhere. Will definitely use her again and recommend to her to other pet parents!!!”
“We haven’t left our 1.5 yr old goldendoodle with a sitter before and were very nervous. When we did our initial “meet and greet” with Amy, her hubby, and wicked cute baby boy, she not only put us at ease, but she patiently answered our questions and we left knowing our Remi would be taken care of. While we were away, we got pictures and videos of Remi, which made us happy and set our minds at ease. We know our golden-doodle is very needy and at times, high maintenance, but Amy laughed it off & took amazing care of our girl. We highly recommend Amy and her family for all your dog sitting needs. We will be definitely using her again in the near future. It was a nice surprise to find a card with a picture & a dog treat tucked inside Remi’s things. She thinks of everything <3”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“I have left both of my dogs with Katie many many times in the last year and a half and I’m always so happy with how she treats them. They see her and run to her!”
“I am so glad we found Kelley. She took great care of our Saffy and I can tell she was well loved while we were gone. It was great to get pictures from her and see the fun Saffy was having.”
“Christina is great! We did a meet and greet with our dogs beforehand. She watched our energetic boxer puppy for a weekend and managed to wear her out! She sent lots of great pictures and it was clear Maisey was living her best life at Christina’s house, so much so she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up. I would definitely use Christina again.”
“My dog had a blast with Ebony! She was very attentive and took lots of pictures. My dog was exhausted when she arrived back home. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“My Dog Gordie was in a great hands all throughout memorial weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Tammy at her home and got quick updates whenever I was missing him. I highly recommend Tammy and will definitely use her again in the future”
“So communicative!! If I need to board my cat again, will definitely be requesting her!! She made this whole experience of me having to board my cat for the first time so much easier!”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Sarah was great with JD. He loved his stay there and she kept us updated with pictures while we were away. Everything worked out good and we will definitely use her again. Thanks Sarah.”
“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”
