“Carol took care of my little one Spice like her own baby. Carol is very responsive and takes excellent care. I’d surely recommend her service for your beloved ones when you’re away.”

“Kevin was fantastic! Very quick to respond both leading up to the stay and throughout my dog Oscar's stay with him. He has a great backyard which was perfect for Oscar who can be a bit reactive on walks. And he really seems to have a deep love for all dogs! Oscar came back tired and happy!”


“I can’t express enough how amazing Karina is!! She is great at sending pics and updates. And was super flexible with my pickup time due to flight delays. I always chose her to watch DeDe. ♥️”


“What a great experience this was. My little puppies were well taken care of and loved for their stay. Got pictures and updates daily!!! Will definitely use Priscilla again!!”


“Samantha was an absolute lifesaver! I had a last-minute cancellation and needed someone to watch my puppy, Luna, while I went out of town for an emergency. She stepped in without hesitation and provided amazing care. She kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that she truly cared for Luna. I couldn’t be happier with her service, and I’m so grateful for her help. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


“Aaron and his family were lovely. He sent lots of detailed updates and took great care of him. Our dog loved playing with their dog Gabe and he is definitely tired from his stay. I was very comfortable leaving our dog with them and will definitely book again in the future.”


“Jack received such love and care when we left him with Amy & Ross! Our pup has a lot of anxiety, and they made sure he felt safe and loved. Amy’s mom was also a great companion for Jack. We will definitely be asking them to watch him again.”


“Nancy made it easy when we needed dog care during a family event. She was responsive and easy to communicate with, sent pix to show how things were going, and I appreciated that she wanted a meet-and-greet ahead of time to make sure my dog was a good fit.”


“I could not have been more pleased with this experience. My dog is a rescue with a bit of separation anxiety so leaving her with someone else is never something I look forward to. However, Rae made both Gilly and I feel so much better about the experience. She treated my dog like her own and updated me very consistently. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Gilly was going on walks, playing games, and being loved. I was almost scared she’d want to stay with Rae forever! Truly a great experience that I would recommend to anyone who needed care for their beloved pet. Thanks Rae, Gilly and I appreciate you :)”


“Januel was great, had a last minute booking with her while we were traveling. She was helpful and adjusted to our time. If we’re ever back traveling again with our dog, we will absolutely use Januels services. Thank you again!”


“I cannot praise Bradley and Stephanlee enough for the fantastic job they did taking care of my beloved pooch! From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. They were very professional, attentive, and caring towards my pup. They sent me regular updates and pictures to keep me up to date, which was a real comfort when I was away. I would highly recommend them as dog sitters and will definitely book them again in the future!”


“Our dogs actually start to squeal with excitement when we pull into Elizabeth's driveway, they have an absolute blast and come home happy and healthy everytime. Thanks!!”


“This is my second time boarding with Katherine, this time for my foster, Mandy. She was great with her. Mandy got to be a part of her daughter’s birthday party as well as story times and play times, pretending to be princesses and play dress up. I’ve never seen Mandy around kids, and it was heartening to know that Katherine opened up her home and heart to her without hesitation. Mandy was well cared for and I’d def be coming back.”


“Haley was very communicative, from requesting to book and having our meet and greet, and then throughout our travels while the dogs were with her. The dogs came back happy and well taken care of. It was a great experience and we’ll book with Haley the next time we’re away!”


“Collin was so great!! We felt comfortable leaving our fur babies with him for the weekend. We had constant updates and pictures while we were away. Collin not only cared for our dogs, but made them feel like they were at home being super attentive and loving towards them both. We will definitely be booking with him again.”


“Deborah was wonderful with our 15 year old girl. We did a meet-and-greet first and when we dropped her off for the 10 night stay, Sage was actually very excited and became playful, which she hasn’t been in so long. Deborah was very loving and caring and sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind during our out of the country vacation. Deborah accommodated Sage’s love for the outdoors and the fact that she works from home, is a great plus! We can’t say enough good things about her and would trust her with our old lady again and again!”
