“This was Zoey's first stay with Madeline and it was great. Madeline was incredibly communicative both leading up to and during Zoey's stay. She was also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off time and sent us multiple pictures each day! We will definitely reach out to Madeline for future trips.”


“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”


“Tony was incredible! Truly a doggy paradise. Beautiful fenced in yard, doggy door, lots of fun and play for my dog while we were away for the weekend. We had so much great communication from Tony including pictures and videos. Definitely would hire many many more times!”

“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”


“Nicole was fantastic! Our pup was very happy, and we got frequent sweet updates throughout the week. Nicole's dog was great with ours, and they went to the park together often. Nicole also bathed our dog when he rolled in the mud and he came back smelling great! 10/10 would recommend, we will be asking for her help next time we are away!”

“Buddy had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with the Deena and the other dogs being pet-sat during his stay. We were nervous to board him for a week-long stay due to his separation anxiety, but Deena was very patient and kind and made sure he felt at home and safe. She was very quick to respond and sent pictures periodically. We already booked another stay with her next month. Highly recommend this sitter!”

“In July I had a last minute chance to take a quick vacation for 4 days. I needed a safe place for my dog Blue to stay while I was away. I came across Brian's profile, after checking his reviews and location I decided on Brian.I was comfortable with leaving my dog, he had other dogs to keep him company and Brian was nice and attentive to them.He also kept me posted with text and pics of Blue and his activities. Couldn't ask for a better outcome.”


“I always can count on Sara to care for our lil guy! He’s deaf and on some meds so he can be tricky but he is happy to spend the week at Sara’s when we are out of town. She always brings back the leftover food and treats very organized. Pickup and drop off is flexible too. Thank you so much!!”
