“Paige was excellent and Sadie seemed to enjoy her stay. I received consistent updates, photos, and responses. I would recommend Paige and will use them as my preferred sitter going forward.”
“It was a great experience for Amber to take care of my two dogs. She was very flexible with schedule. I am definitely going to go back. My dogs were very comfortable with their stay. Big 👍”
“Lisa was wonderful! This was our first time having to leave our baby with someone that he doesn’t know and it was great. If you want someone who will continually send pictures, videos and updates, Lisa is the one. I will definitely be booking with her again, no doubt about it!”
“Casey took great care of our pups! Her dogs are so super sweet & got along great with our Aussie mix & Beagle! We had a worry free weekend away with them in her care!”
“Gregory was a great sitter and helped our dog Doodle feel right at home. He also sent videos and pictures that helped us see how great of a time Doodle was having. We would definitely use Gregory again!”
“Abigail was amazing. She was able to make our anxious dog feel right at home. It was the first time we have left him and didn’t need to worry about him for one second. We will use Abigail for all of our future trips. She sent us pictures of them on walks and playing with other dogs. You could tell she really enjoyed having him while we were away.”
“Heavyn went above and beyond to take care of my boy, I know he was treated like a member of the family while staying with her. She also was great in providing pictures and videos of him throughout his stay! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“Jessica and Carol were very sweet and patient with my very vocal dog. Can’t thank them enough for the wonderful care they provided for Dean, as well as being flexible with my schedule. My husband and I look forward to having Jessica and Carol dogsit Dean again!”
“Thank you Amber, for taking on the care of Roxi. We appreciate, dog sitters like you, who jump into action at the last minute, this was Roxi first dog sitting experience, and she seems to be well taken care of. Thank you, from my family to yours!!”
“Sara and her family were AMAZING!!! We have a 4 month old puppy and we were nervous about leaving him and, we had to leave him overnight. Sara took him into her home and not only loved him like it was her own but took him on so many walks, play activities and puppy training. She went far beyond my expectations, nearly to the point where I felt bad taking my puppy home as he was having so much fun! I am so grateful we found Sara!”
“This was my second time having Emily watch my dog and she was great once again. She was accommodating in keeping Lily one extra night due to an unexpected late return. I appreciate her willingness to be flexible.”
“Mandy was amazing! Josie immediately felt comfortable and at home with her and the family. We were able to meet ahead of time to make sure everything was to run smoothly and I was thankful for that time. Having an animal reactive pet brings a lot of stress and anxiety when it comes to boarding and dog sitters, but Mandy erased all of my anxiety with her above and beyond care and communication. While out of town I had continuous message AND picture updates of my fur baby and I was so grateful. Cannot wait to book with this crew again! 💕”
“Aydee was amazing! She sent pictures daily which was both sweet and reassuring. She was very easy to communicate with & communication was always swift. I appreciate her for caring & loving my special boy like he was hers! We will definitely be back!!”
