7. Sarah Beth C.

“Sarah Beth took such great care of our pups. She sends daily updates that are detail oriented and straightforward. She is sweet, professional, and easy to communicate with. We have boarded or had dog sitters before in the past, but they were by far the happiest we’ve ever seen them this time around. Our home was also in great condition upon return. Really, we would give her a 6/5 if we could. We will definitely be using her in the future and if you’re a natural worrier like me, you will be able to rest assured with Sarah Beth.”

17. Allison G.

“We left for a full week. I was really nervous to leave my 2 dogs and cat with a “stranger” but Allison provided us with a visit before our trip to make sure that we felt comfortable with her as well as the puppies. The day we left she show up on time as scheduled and she make me feel really good before we left assuring me that everything will be okay. Every day she send me pictures of my puppies and she gave me constant updates. My dogs absolutely love her, and even the cat that really doesn’t like anybody, warm up to her. If you are looking on someone reliable and loving to take care of your best friends I should absolutely recommend Allison.”

20. Clare F.
“Clare is truly the most caring person I have ever known, to both humans and animals! She is my dog's preferred sitter and gets excited at the mention of her name. She loves him as her own - walking him, allowing him to sleep near her, and never interrupts a good sniff session! She has been known to include him in her birthday celebrations (they share one) as well as her March Madness basketball bracket picks (he won last year)! My dog is my baby, and I trust Clare to keep him when I can't!”
