“Katherine watched my pooch Bella and with every picture she texted me, Bella looked very excited, happy and loved while we were away for the Mother's Day weekend at that! Thank you soooo very much Katherine for watching Bella for me! I will definitely keep you as my puppy sitter! You were absolutely wonderful!! 🤗”
“Super kind and very responsive! My pup went right to her at drop off and didn’t look back 🥹 she sent photos and updates. Kobe was so calm and chill when I picked him up.”
“Barrie is by far the best dog sitter that I have ever encountered. I loved the fact that she did a meet and greet with myself and my puppy, and instantly they bonded. The set up at Barrie’s house for my puppy was more than ideal, baby gates, kennels, food stations, and a large backyard. Thank you so much for watching and taking care of my puppy while I went out of town! Alicia Heckmann”

“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Libby had a clean home, spacious space for Grey to stay & updated us with text & pics. She has a fenced in yard on the side & fenced in deck for the pups to play/relax safely. Grey was well taken care of & if we are in the area again we would rebook.”

“We were planning to leave out of town for the holidays and Ray was gracious enough to take Beau in during that time. He made sure we were informed about his stay through photos and video and our big boy looked like he was having a great time. Ray continues to be extremely professional and personable throughout the process and we will definitely utilize his services again. Highly recommended.”
