1. Timmothy F.

“Tim was great! Had to find a sitter with less than a weeks notice and Tim was able to accommodate. Our pup Leo had such a fun time, so happy to have found a sitter we can consistently use”


2. Amanda M.

“Stellar all around! Snuggles, walks, playtime with his new bestie Sage - our pup had a fabulous time! Excellent communication and care from Angela. We’d be thrilled to book with her again!”


3. Maria B.

“Maria was AMAZING with my little Potato! For the first time, all our family and friends did not work out, so I found Rover and I was off to the races. I was so worried about leaving him with a veritable stranger for a week, but it worked out perfectly. Maria was good to meet at her place briefly before I booked just to make sure all was well, which of course it was. She sent so many pics and vids! It’s clear he spent plenty of time with the family, not sitting in a small space all day like he would have been if boarded elsewhere. She even took him on a walk one day when it was a little less deathly freezing out. Thank you so much Maria!”


4. Colleen & Joe K.

“Colleen and Joe were great with Tillie! Colleen was so friendly, welcoming, and genuine, I immediately knew Tillie would be in good hands as soon as we met. Very quick communication and sent daily updates with pictures during my trip. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others!”


5. Jenny M.

“Jenny is great! She gave our little Honey lots of playtime and attention. She was also very friendly and flexible. We would definitely recommend her!”


6. Kira & Alejandro C.


“Kira was wonderful. She was very flexible and fast when contacting her for the reservation. She provided lots of videos and photo updates. She even asked if she could give our dog a bath.”


7. Maria S.

“Maria is the absolute best!! She watched my pup for a week and always sent me pictures and videos! I was concerned my pup was going to have to be dragged out all the fun she was having!! I just picked her up a couple hours ago and she is passed out after running around with the other dogs and all the walks!! I will only go to Maria in the future!”


8. Greg & Ingelise G.

“Greg and Ingelise were fantastic with Puckett!!!! He looked so comfortable and happy in their space! He can be very needy with attention and affection, and they treated his amazingly! 1000% would book a retreat for my doggo again! World class service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


9. Stephanie N.
“I will definitely be using Stephanie again!! She was so great, updates with pictures each day. It was such a great feeling knowing Mason was having a blast while I was on vacation. Thank you Stephanie!!!”


10. Erin T.

“Erin was a great pet sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog. She accepted our meet and greet request right away and we were happy with Erin, her dog Eggie and her home and fenced yard. Erin did a great job providing us with regular updates and photos. She was also flexible with changes to our travel plans. We recommend Erin if you are looking for a dog sitter in the metro area.”


11. Lauren & Michael H.


“Lauren and Michael were amazing with Astra! They sent me great (and funny) pictures of Astra doing her favorite things: sleeping and playing. Astra was happy and healthy when I picked her up. Will definitely be booking again!”


12. Kim M.

“Kim did an awesome job with my dog, Max. She sent photos almost everyday, and gave me reports of how he was doing. They were very patient with my puppy, because he does have a lot of energy, but my dog had an amazing time!”


13. Susan & Craig P.


“Susan and Craig were outstanding caretakers! They took Navi for mutiple walks, played, cuddles…all the things she loves! They also sent pics and videos which helped us feel better. We would book with them again in a heartbeat!”


14. Judy H.

“Judy is such a sweet lady, I could tell she would be very responsible and caring with my Teddy. Even so, it was hard to leave him with someone for the first time ever. She sent pictures and texts that reassured me that he was handling everything fine and settling in at her house for the night. That really helped! In the end, Teddy was just fine and I was the only one who was having separation issues! We will definitely be booking with Judy again. Thank you Judy!”


15. Jacquie & Kyle R.


“Jacquie & Kyle were wonderful with our pup!! He got so much exercise and had a ton of fun every day! Always hard to leave our dog but we knew he was in good hands!”


16. Amy N.


“Amy watched our 10 month old lab puppy with lots of energy for 9 days! She provided us with daily updates and pictures. Our pup had the best time playing with other dogs and getting to curl up on the couch. Thank you Amy for making Cooper's stay amazing!”




17. Terrie J.


“An amazing sitter! Our dog Roxy stayed with Terrie for 4 nights. We received several fun pictures every day & I'm not convinced that Roxy wanted to leave when I came to pick her up! Absolutely recommend.”


18. Jennifer K.

“Jen was fantastic. Great communication and frequent updates throughout the stay. She took wonderful care of Fonzie who took to her immediately. She was also very flexible around my schedule. We'll be back for sure.”




19. Lydia M.

“Our 7 month old large puppy had a fantastic stay with Lydia! We loved getting updates from her with adorable pictures. Lydia went above and beyond by brushing our dog a few times while he was there which was incredibly helpful since he has a high maintenance coat. We will definitely have him stay with her again.”




20. Marti S.


“My dog was instantly comfortable at Marti’s and made herself at home. I loved the updates and pictures Marti sent, and I will definitely have my dog stay here again for some quality care and attention!”
