Susan and Craig are clearly animal lovers and have a great calm energy around them! We were so fortunate to find them to have our two boys hang out at their place when we went out of town for work - they had a fantastic time!

We use Tim exclusively for our dog Mia. She responds well to him and his fur family, and has a great time. Tim is very responsive and knows we worry so updates come often, with photos or video. This person cares about what he does, and does it well. Mia thinks he is pretty awesome too!!

Judy is such a sweet lady, I could tell she would be very responsible and caring with my Teddy. Even so, it was hard to leave him with someone for the first time ever. She sent pictures and texts that reassured me that he was handling everything fine and settling in at her house for the night. That really helped! In the end, Teddy was just fine and I was the only one who was having separation issues! We will definitely be booking with Judy again. Thank you Judy!

Annalise and Chris took great care of Maple! Their experience with fostering dogs really put me at ease while I was out of town. She sent updates each day where I could tell Maple was having a fun time. I’m grateful Maple was able to find a home away from home for when I’m traveling.

Wow. What can I say. We were blown away by Emily’s kindness. She is the ultimate dog mom, sweet and caring. We took the longest trip we’ve ever taken away from our pup (miniature dachshund). Emily set up a meet and greet so our pup could meet her lovely dogs. Emily asked a ton of questions to get to know our dog. Which made me feel so much better. The meet & greet went great and meeting Emily put all my fears of leaving our pup aside. I knew our pup would be well loved and cared for and boy was she ever! We received daily updates, photos and videos. It was so nice to see her while we were so far away. Knowing she was being spoiled while we were across the world made our trip that much more enjoyable. As you all know, leaving a pup is like leaving a child. I never once worried about her. If you are looking for a loving, caring sitter for your pup, Emily is your gal. We plan to use her for our dog sitter as long as she’s willing. We are so lucky we found her!! Thank you so much, Emily!!!

Jaime was absolutely amazing with my pup Hawkie. She was very detailed oriented and kept me updated with how he was doing. I never worried for a second because I knew he was in good hands. He's scared of loud noises and she handled his anxiety episodes beautifully. I know that I could trust her again to watch Hawkie because he trusted her, which he doesn't trust a lot of people. Thank you Jaime for taking care of my baby.

Sue is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog stayed with her for a week. Sue sent daily photos and updates. Sue really did took great care to make our pup feel at home (following her normal schedule, giving her veggies, letting her sleep in her bed)! I felt so secure knowing Sue was taking care of our girl. We definitely be repeat customers!

Jennifer and her son are truly wonderful. Leaving Rio can be tough for me, but they gave me complete peace of mind. He was so incredibly well taken care of and genuinely loved every single day I was away. It’s rare to find sitters who treat your best buddy like their own family. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! I honestly feel a little relief in my heart now. If I need to leave Rio for a few days, I've got a family that can truly and lovingly take care of my best buddy in the whole world.

Renae and her family were wonderful! She accepted a last-minute boarding request and even let us drop off our dog early in the morning before our flight. Her home was a great setup, with a cozy living space and access to a fenced yard for the dogs to enjoy. She gave us space to enjoy our vacation but was always responsive and happy to send photos whenever we asked. We felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would happily recommend her to others!

Sarah and her family were absolutely wonderful with our 5-month-old Goldendoodle, Chopper! We left him for an 11-day stay, which was a long time for a young puppy, but Sarah made us feel completely at ease. They have a bustling, lively home with kids and other pets, which turned out to be the perfect, fun vacation for Chopper. He is a high-energy puppy who loves to bounce and wander, and they managed his excitement beautifully. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Sarah and will absolutely trust her with Chopper again.

Justin and his mom were so accomodating with my dog, Drake who is young and full of energy. I just checked him out today and he stayed with them for a month. Justin sends me photos of Drake like every other day of Drake getting some walks, etc. If you have dogs like me and looking for temporary home due to travel, I recommend you leave it to Justin and his mom’s good hands. I trust that they would do the same. I would definitely have Drake stay with them in the future. Thanks guys!
