“My dog, Sully, had so much fun with Rebekah, Alex, and their toddler and pups! Rebekah sent updates and asked many questions to make sure Sully had the best stay. She was also very flexible and able to accommodate for us at the last minute. Will definitely be returning and Sully can’t wait to visit again!”

“Lunar was so very well taken care of while we were on a trip. Sarah sent updates and helped us figure out care when our flight was delayed. It gives us such peace of mind every time Sarah cares for our active dog!”
“Jenninfer was a truly fantastic host and caretaker of our two dogs for over a week. She sent us pictures and updates on how they were doing almost daily if not more than once a day. She was very easy to communicate with and understanding. We know that she truly cared about the welfare of our dogs and we will definitely be using her again in the future when we have to go out of town. I cannot speak more highly of her - I would give her a five star plus rating.”
“Edith is great and we always feel like Henry is in good hands when he stays with her. Her updates on Henry are the best! They are timely and we enjoy reading and seeing pictures while we’re away.”
“Drop off and pick were super smooth. Benji had zero complaints about his over-night with Margaret ;) We will definitely book with Margaret again!”
“Meghan and Jacob couldn’t have taken better care of our pup while we were on vacation. Strong communicators, flexible, lots of updates w photos, and seemed to genuinely love our dog. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“We are so grateful for Emily and her family! We know that JoJo is being very well taken care of while we travel, and having that confidence is priceless!”
“Malena and her family were SO helpful and kind when they took care of my dog! My other sitter bailed last minute and I had a flight to catch and she totally bailed me out over Christmas. She sent so many photos and I know Henry was well taken care of and he had a great time :) I would highly recommend her!”
“There truly are no words to express how grateful we were to Emily for loving our sweet girl so much. The updates and photos were a joy to receive and there is no doubt in our minds that Lumi was cared for with utmost TLC! So many thanks to Emily and her entire family. Lumi can't wait to visit again!!!”
“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”
“Cynthia was amazing! It was the first time we’d left our dog with someone other than family; not only did she make it easy to leave our dog, she made it fun! Her updates and photos made it feel more like sharing our dog rather than leaving our dog behind. Cynthia was patient with our shy dog, such that despite it usually taking awhile to warm up to people, our dog seemed comfortable after just a short time. We would absolutely leave our dog with Cynthia again!”
“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”
“Katherine was great with my cat! He is on medication so cannot be left alone for more than a night. She made sure he had his medicine everyday and kept him entertained!”
“Anne kept me informed throughout Tut’s stay with updates on how he was doing and what they were up to. Tut had a great time on all the walks Anne took him on and enjoyed Tina as a playmate.”
