“Maddy is knowledgeable, caring and very communicative. She was able to take our dog on short notice while were were dealing with come emergencies. She understands and is very experienced with dogs (and their humans) and left us feeling very at ease. I would definitely recommend reaching out to her for caring for your dog!!!”

“Denise was great! She communicated well prior to the trip, sent pictures and updates during Bailey’s stay per my request and was very kind and sweet. Bailey is a small dog with a big personality and grouchy at times and she did well with him. Would recommend and book her again!”

“This was Roxy’s first overnight stay and she seemed to do wonderfully! She was so excited when we first pulled up and remembered coming here even though it’s been a few weeks. Roxy has such a fun time hanging out with the family and other dogs and that gives me peace of mind that she’s having well taken care of. I appreciate how responsive Joel and Crystal are and love getting the picture updates! I will definitely be booking again and Roxy will be so happy to come back!”

“I had a last minute situation where I needed a trustworthy sitter to look after my golden recovering from surgery, Diane did an Incredible job - Leia was obviously very well taken care with all needs met. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

“Our Princess had a great time staying with Lauren and Poppy. Lauren was wonderful with daily updates and photos. We could tell by the photos that Princess felt comfortable in Lauren’s home. She also took Princess for “walks” in a pet papoose. We would not hesitate to contact Lauren again next time we are in need for a pet sitter. Thanks Lauren!”
“Reya was so happy with Sabrina and Derrick over a long weekend. Updates were sent daily and the pictures of her playing were amazing. I felt incredibly lucky to have Reya stay at Sabrina and Derrick’s and will definitely book again!”

“Joseph was an excellent dog sitter and took the best care of our 2 goldendoodles for nearly 3 weeks. Our senior dog has a hard time with traditional walks and Joseph’s place was perfect for him. He could walk around, sniff and play in a huge enclosed yard- just what he needed. We appreciated the photos and updates. We will definitely use his services in the future!”


“We couldn’t ask for a better experience for our dogs. Our two dogs just spent two weeks with Diana at her home while we went abroad and I’ve never felt so good about leaving them with anyone before. Diana is a caring and fun caretaker and our dogs had the best time with her and her family at their lovely home. They even received some training and learned about agility with her. We received updates and photos daily which were gifts to us as we missed them while away. I’m relieved to know they have such a wonderful place to stay while we travel. 5 stars!”

“Connie was wonderful with our kitty Expresso. It was a worry free experience. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages. I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs. Highly recommend!”


“Dylan was a wonderful dog sitter for Skittles!! We will absolutely use Dylan again. Thank you so much for giving Skittles so much love and sending updates regularly.”

“Erin was at the door waiting for our dogs to escort the dogs into her home for drop off. She also brought the dogs to the door at pick up. The dogs came home, happy and healthy and glad to see us. ✅.”

“Teresa took such great care of my mature dog while we were away for a weekend. She sent updates and pics of the fun they were having together - her love for animals is obvious. I highly recommend her for boarding or any other care you may need for your pet.”

“Puka looked happy, shiny, and healthy when I returned home from vacation! A big thank you to Amy for sending photos every day of Puka in cozy, comfy places and for brushing her. I trusted Amy and her family to treat Puka like one of their own and would definitely book with them again! 🥰”

“Julie took wonderful care of our precious Penny sending lots of daily pictures and updates ! Penny became a part of her family for twelve days. We will definitely use her again and Highly Recommend her services to everyone !”

“We had Ying watch our kitty cat, Mr. Ribs, for a week while we were away. He was a fantastic cat sitter. He sent tons of pictures and videos and kept us updated with his sleeping and eating habits. Ying played with Mr. Ribs and kept him entertained. This was comforting for us as the little guy loves people, so leaving him alone or isolated was not an option. Ying was a great companion for the kitty, and we will definitely use him in the future.”

“Shelby went above and beyond caring for Shadow 🫶 Daily walks, lots of photo updates, and even a thoughtful card and treat at pickup - it meant so much! I could tell he was happy and well cared for the entire time, and will absolutely be booking her again in the future 😊”

“We recently adopted our dog, who has been through a lot and were worried about leaving him for the first time, but the Armstrongs immediately made us feel comfortable, and that our dog would be left with a loving family. Our pup has some unique behaviors (liking to sit alone, enjoying time outside even if it is raining) and they were more than willing to allow him to be himself, without us having to ask. They also sent so many nice updates that made it easy for my partner and I to enjoy our vacation. Also, when our dog was having trouble eating his meals they kindly found a solution after checking with us to make sure he got food. Looking forward to having our dog stay with the Armstrongs again soon!”
