“It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter who wasn’t a family member and Sabrina did such a great job 🥹 she sent videos and pictures assuring us that our dog was having a great time. Thank you Sabrina!!!!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She is only four months old (needs extra attention as most do!), is on a medication, and this was my first time having to leave her with someone else to care for her. When I got there, Emily already had a space set up for my puppy with a large play space and puppy pee pads (just in case haha). Emily sent me pictures and updates every day so that I could see how well she was doing. It made me happy to see her so happy. Then on my way home, I had flight delays, and Emily and her husband were MORE than accommodating to help me pick up my puppy from them quite late in the evening. I can’t recommend Emily enough. I will definitely look to her first when needing a sitter in the future.”
“We were beyond pleased with our experience with Megan from beginning to end! ! She was very responsive upon requesting to book a stay- even offering a meet and greet! She, as well as her home, is very welcoming! Kept us well informed with updates, photos and videos while we were away- always ensuring us that Macie was in good hands and being well cared for! We especially loved and appreciated Macie’s report card! :) We highly recommend Megan and will definitely be using her again for future bookings! Thank you Megan! We appreciate you so much!!”
“Absolutely amazing, he took great care of the dogs and updated us regularly. Any questions were easily answered and any problems we were immediately notified. Would definitely recommend him as a sitter.”
About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“I am absolutely THRILLED to have found Rachel to care for my labradoodle when I am away. She has now watched her twice, one of which was a 12 day trip, and has been fabulous both times. She is consistent in sending pictures and updates, follows instructions closely, and does everything possible to help both my dog and I feel comfortable. It’s clear she adores animals.”
“Dan and his gf were fantastic with our dog. Sent us pictures throughout the weekend. Both of our dogs got along very well. Will use him again and recommend for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“We left our two kittens with Jenny for two weeks and she took really good care of them, she kept us updated and sent us photos of our babies while we were away. We will definitely reach out to her whenever we require a boarding service again, we really recommend her!”
“This was an amazing! Chad was so kind and accommodating. Rotini was taken care of and he had an amazing time! I highly suggest booking with Chad, if we are back in the area, we will definitely book again!!”
“Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our dog! We are very happy, and would definitely hire her again! Our dog is 13 years old and has almost never spent a night away from home, so we were a little nervous. He stayed with Christina for 5 days and she cared for him so well! The daily texts from her were so nice and reassuring! She made it very easy for us and our dog! He must have been comfortable with Christina because he came home like he'd never left!”
“As usual our dogs loved their stay with Reyna and their family. I never have to worry about them when going out of town because I know they are loved and treated amazing in her care.”
“Paige does an amazing job with our lab, Ike. He loves that he plays out in the big back yard that is safely fenced to play!! Page also has Ike rest/relax as part of the family and chill. Ike really enjoys his visit to stay at Paige’s house. ?”
“My Jojo had such fun & Iris was so great to work with and kept me updated. Was very happy & would definitely recommend! She was great! Loved seeing all the pictures of the fun activities and updates over the weekend of my fur babies stay.”
“Our dog had the BEST time at Ashley's! He was there for a week and made new friends; both human and canine. He was well cared for and enjoyed himself immensely. Thank you Ashley.”
“Caroline did an amazing job caring for our dog again. It’s always hard to leave him behind when we go on trips, but she makes it so much easier. We know he’s being well cared for. We highly recommend her and will always reach out to her when we need someone to watch our dog. ❤️”
