“Awesome family! Very happy with the kindness this family has it was all smiles. My pup enjoyed himself and was super tired when he got home. I appreciated the welcoming environment and all of the pictures I received during his stay!”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Laurie was a phenomenal pet sitter for our little dog Mona. I messaged her out of the blue to see if she'd be willing to meet us at our wedding venue to get photos with Mona and then take her overnight. She was perfectly on time for everything and flexible for us with our photos and absolutely spoiled Mona for her overnight stay - including a little pup cup pit stop for being so good in our photos. She was so communicative with us before, during, and after the event and put together a custom package of her services to fit our more unique request. Thank you, Laurie!”
“Taylor was super great! She gave regular updates with great pictures and videos for our pups stay. We were so much happier with this than boarding our dogs. Thanks Taylor!”
“Merley took great care of my little, old Schnauzer. I got regular photos, videos and updates. And when I picked my dog up afterwards she was happy and relaxed. I immediately rebooked for our next trip. I’m so grateful to have found such a great dog sitter!”
“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”
“Laney provided a loving home for my dog while I was out of the country. Before dropping off Ari, I took her for a walk and she got into a sticker patch. Laney was kind enough to put on her rubber gloves and pick them off individually, above and beyond for sure. I'd highly recommend Laney to care for your fur children while you're away.”
“Susan and John took thoughtful care of my 12 year-old dog for a week. They updated us every day with photos and details of how he was adapting. I highly recommend them based on their attention and standard of care.”
“Brandi is Kuma's 2nd favorite person and she's pretty high up on my list as well! She loves the adventures Brandi takes her on and loves hanging out with her friend Marlowe. I have no problem going out of town and leaving my girl with Brandi as I know she'll be safe and very loved.”
“Continue to use these wonderful ladies because they have great availability and love on my pup like their own! They even made my pup a bday cake since she was staying with them during her birthday weekend. She always has a great time with this sitter!”
“Adriana was phenomenal with our pup! She did some training with him, sent tons of videos, and has such a nice backyard perfect for playing. She was flexible, incredibly kind, and we felt very safe having our dog stay there. Will definitely use her again!”
