“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”
“Thank you Felix for taking such good care of my boy. He sent me videos throughout my trip that made me so happy to see my Ollie having a good time. We already have our next stay booked.”
“Christina was great with our dog Asher! She was great at communicating and sent pictures of him to us while we were on vacation and showed us how he was loving spending time with their dog. They even sent us home with a new dog toy for Asher and he loves it. Thanks for helping us out! We will definitely request to book with them again.”

“Our dogs loved their stay at Leslie’s house. Her fenced yard and flexible schedule were a huge bonus to us when picking a pet sitter. We knew our dogs were in good hands which gave us great peace of mind!”
“We left our dog with Linda for 3 days. Her dogs were very friendly and they got along well. He loved being able to run around the fenced yard. He seemed so happy and free. He is usually very anxious but he didn't have any issues while staying with Linda. He did really well with Linda. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”

“Pam always take awesome care of Mila and we feel at ease knowing Mila is living her best life. Extra big shout out to Pam for being flexible on our recent stay. The morning of pickup, I had to take my wife to the ER and Pam didn’t even hesitate and let Mila stay over until we got my wife taken care. She is great to work with.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my 16-year-old Chihuahua, Ralph! This was his first time staying with a sitter instead of family or friends, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Ralph did great—even around her two much larger dogs, which was such a relief! Lauren created a calm, safe environment, and her communication was top-notch. I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah made drop off and pick up smooth and accommodating. Dog was happy at pick up and seemed to have awesome stay and socializing times with other dogs. Sarah will be the first choice the next time we need the dog sitter.”
“Our pup was scheduled to stay with Tatyana over Memorial Day weekend. Last minute, we found out she was actually able to come up with us, so we no longer needed Tatyana to puppysit. Tatyana was AMAZINGLY understanding and incredibly flexible! She worked with us to figure out the best way to handle the reservation and I am so appreciative. If we ever need a puppysitter in the future, she will definitely be our go to! Thanks again Tatyana!”

“Our dog’s stay with Susan was absolutely wonderful! She loved on her endlessly and exercised her frequently which was so good for our 4 year old lab. Any dog would love their stay with Susan 😊”

I always know my girls will be in the best of care when they are with Leeann! She was able to take Gizmo and Luna on short notice for me this time due to some unforeseen circumstances. Gizmo’s special needs are always attended to and I love getting photos and seeing how well they’re being loved!
Pam is fabulous and our dog had the best time at her house full of other furry friends! Pam sent several photos and updates each day, ensuring that Taco was being well cared for and having a good time. Our dog came home exhausted after a weekend playing with the other dogs, chasing squirrels around the yard, and searching for the coziest spot in Pam’s house. We’ll definitely rebook Pam in the future!
Melissa is absolutely wonderful!! She took amazing care of our energetic Aussie while we were gone on a 9-day trip. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which we loved! When our flight home got cancelled, she was so understanding and flexible, which made a stressful situation much easier. Our dog can be timid when meeting new people, but he warmed up to Melissa very quickly and it’s obvious that he feels very comfortable with her! I cannot recommend her enough as a sitter for your pups! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and is incredibly reliable, Melissa is the person for you!
Our Yorkie Bear had a wonderful time with Susan. He took to her right away and she followed his schedule and gave him lots of walks, love and cuddles even letting him sleep with her as is his routine at home. She was great about communicating and sending pics. I cannot say enough about the excellent care Bear received from this wonderful sitter!
Let’s just start by saying my puppy is not for the faint of heart! She is a gsp, so by nature is very hyper and energetic and let’s be honest…. Kinda crazy! Megan did an amazing job caring for her while I was away on vacation! I received daily updates which I loved because this was our first time away from her! And she has a friendly dog that kept her occupied the whole time!! Not once did I worry about my puppy while I was gone which is nice because this pup is like my baby! Also Megan has a fenced in backyard for additional play area which is also nice. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!! 😊🐶🐾
Joshua is very responsive and took good care of Maddie while I was out of the state. He was very attentive, helping her settle in and giving her plenty of cuddles. He came up with a couple of fun enrichment games to keep her entertained as well, putting peanut butter inside one of the balls I sent with her and she absolutely loved it!
This was the second time our dog stayed with Emily and once again, we are so happy with the care she provided. Daily updates including pictures and videos were awesome! Our dog had so much fun playing with Emily’s two dogs. She loved the fenced in yard and all the walks. I highly recommend Emily. Your pet will be so loved and cared for.
