“Jennifer and her family were amazing with our Blu. I appreciated the daily check ins and photos. It put my worries at ease with leaving him for the first time. We will definitely be using Jennifer again.”
“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“My husband and I were amazed at how thoughtful Ms Kelsi and her family were. We have never left our Yorkie, Bella with a sitter before and we were a bit uneasy about the idea, but after meeting her and her family we knew we had made the right decision choosing her. She kept in contact with us and took such good care of our fur baby. If we ever need a sitter and she is available and willing, we would LOVE for her to care for Bella again. I truly believe Kelsi loves what she does and will love your pet as her own. A BIG thank you Kelsi and many blessings to you and your family. Theresa & Mike”
“10 out of 5 stars! I couldn't have picked a more lovely "vacation" for my pup than Heather's wonderful home. A super large and fenced in yard for zoomies with chickens and pigeons for her to watch, gorgeous home with plenty of space for doggy lounging and the most adorable children to entertain and play with Remi. I know she had the BEST time! I can't recommend Heather and her family as doggy sitters more.”
“Olivia will be our go to person when we need a sitter if she’s available. She kept me informed and sent pictures during our trip. We were nervous since we haven’t had to leave Kelsi with anyone, but Olivia put us at ease. The quiet home atmosphere and Olivia’s warm personality was exactly what we were looking for. Kelsi was content and we will not hesitate to leave her again. Thank you Olivia for taking such good care of our senior lady. Do not hesitate using Olivia. Your loved one will be in good hands.”
“We came home to a very happy dog. Lola received excellent care from Shelby and we will definitely use her services again. Shelby gets high marks for good communication and handling the details of our pet’s care.”
“BOOK JENNIFER NOW! I would like to tell everyone a little, rather a lot about my experience with Jennifer?. In one word; EXCELLENT! Jennifer was amazing, she washed my baby-cleaned her teeth-wiped her paws after going outside and loved on her to make her feel welcomed-sent me pictures of her daily. DO NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE; Jennifer is the person you want to watch your baby. YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED. I will only book with Jennifer. She is Amazing!!! I’m so happy with the way she cared for my baby. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! SHE IS THE BEST! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her family. They are the nicest people I have met in a long time. I’m not just saying this either. JENNIFER ANSWERS TEXT IN A TIMELY MANNER. She scheduled a meet & greet and showed me where my baby girl would be staying and her back yard is big enough to fit an entire litter of pups/dogs without them bumping into each other. My baby stayed with Jennifer & family for 7 days. I even messed up on drop off/pick up time and she was very understanding. This was my first time using this service and Jennifer helped me through the process. Anyone who has read this far, believe this if you believe nothing else-for her price YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOU EXPECT! She was so amazing my baby isn’t talking to me because she wants to go back?. I genuinely will not use anyone else. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! ❤️”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
“Royce came back smiling and exhausted. Brianna 's little boy matched my dogs energy so he had a great time with kids and other dogs. I liked that he didn't have to be on a leash in their yard.”
“Mary Grace was perfect for our fur-baby! She had Milford from Saturday to Monday night. I was ecstatic when she asked me if an hour long walk was ok for Milford. How perfect! We got multiple pictures of Milford each day…and he was so very well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“I am so happy I found Carly. I was going out of town for a 3 day getaway and my dog sitter cancelled the week of. Carly was thankfully able to take my fur baby and give her 1 on 1 attention! She eased my anxiety with daily updates and made sure my princess returned to me tangle free! We will definitely use Carly in the future.”

“Megan was hands down the perfect person to watch our puppy, Siggy. She sent updates and took the best care of our dog. We were so worried about the socialization aspect, but her dogs welcomed Siggy into the dog clan right away. This was the best thing for her this weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone on or around post.”
