“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”
“Cheryl and Josh were wonderful sitters for my dog Molly. They treated her as if she was their own dog. Cheryl was respectful of all the requests that I had made for Molly's stay. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Cheryl shared. It was a great comfort for me knowing that I did not have to worry about Molly while I was away on vacation. We will be booking with Cheryl and Josh again!!”
“They were very welcoming to my pup and loved her like family. Rebecca sent me pictures and updates everyday, which was very nice to see my pup have fun and being taken care of.”
“We are so very grateful for Marie. She welcomed our doggy into her house with all the love and attention we could hope for. We were blessed with photos while we were traveling which gave us comfort and made us smile. Our dog came back to us, happy, healthy, clean, and comfortable, which was perfect. Thank you again, Marie.”
“This was the absolute BEST experience we could have hoped for! If I could have given more than 5 stars, I would have! Mary and her family took such GREAT care of Penny Bean while we were away! They walked her, bathed her, and sent photos all week long (because they knew how worried I was about leaving Penny Bean with strangers for a whole week). They were so reassuring, communicative and great, I just can't say enough! Penny and their dog Teddy seemed to get along well. I could not be happier with my choice of boarding providers. Will DEFINITELY use them again! If you are at all concerned about leaving your pup somewhere while you travel, I'd HIGHLY recommend Mary and her family - they ARE FANTASTIC!”
“Katy and DJ were such wonderful Pupsitters!! It was reassuring to know how they were doing each day being 100’s of miles away! They were so pooped after their walks and visit that they slept for three days! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of them!!”
“We definitely recommend Maria and Nayibe. We were constantly updated with photos and we could tell that our dogs were being well cared for and even pampered. We will be booking again!”
“Angela was the perfect dog mom for our Skye. She adjusted to Skye's schedule and Skye learned how to make her needs known. Angela sent us daily photos and a few videos, so we could be assured that Skye was doing well. Skye will definitely be returning in the future.”
“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”
“Yolanda was wonderful! Nala was well cared for and I received adorable pics during our trip. I had a sick kiddo at home and needed some flexibility with my drop off and pick up times and Yolanda was understanding. Would definitely use her again!”
“Ryan was very communicative with us during the time our two dogs stayed with him, and sent pictures over as well. The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I can tell that they were well taken care of when we were away. Thank you Ryan!”
“I never left Sadie before except with family. She is very attached to me and I was nervous to do this. Mary made me feel at ease about it, sending pictures of Sadie and showing me she would be fine. I really appreciated the stay Sadie had with Mary. I will definitely use this service again. Thanks Mary!”
“Dana is amazing! This was my first time using a pet sitter and she was a perfect fit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. My dog loved playing with her two pugs!”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”

Heather watched our dog Bailey the end of Aug and for 7 days the beginning of September. So pleased with her. Bailey was so happy to go back over there. She did a wonderful job and her family was very nice. We will definitely be back. We appreciate everything she did and Bailey does too!❤️❤️❤️. Thank you Heather
Very happy with the whole process through Shelby. Booked her back in March after a meet and greet with our dog Bailey. Just returned home after Shelby watching him for 4 days. He seemed happy and energetic which I was pleased about. Everyday she sent pictures to keep us updated. I was glad to see that he was enjoying himself. The whole process was seamless and I would highly recommend Shelby to friends and Bailey hopes he sees her again in the future.🐶❤️
