“I’m so glad I found Kathleen! She thinks of every detail and treats my baby boy just like her own. She sends plenty of pictures keeping me up to date and tells me how he’s doing. She took him on a long walk and made sure he was as comfortable as possible while I was away. We will definitely be seeing more of her in the future! 10/10”

Frosty was extremely happy there, and I look forward to her watching Frosty again. I highly recommend Victoria for all your pet sitting needs! Thank you, Victoria!”
“Great communication, easy drop off and pick up, affordable rate, and our dog seemed very happy and comfortable to be. I think our dog loved pal’ing around with Chang’s friendly pup Valley because she came home completely tired out. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”
“Our 8-yr old male Airedale sometimes has his own way of looking at things. We left him with Stacey, first time, and he did fine, even through a thunderstorm. They know what they are doing. Recommended sitters.”
“My dog Murphy was returned to me as happy as he was when I left him. I was given a full report on his stay which left me with no questions. Most important, I was glad to hear how well he did with other dogs. Would entrust them with Murphy again.”
“We are so blessed to have Cassandra take care of our little guy Mo. The care and attention that Cassandra and her family provide leave us with zero worry that Mo is in safe hands. Being a repeat customer of Cassandra's, we can recommend her services without hesitation and would do so to anyone who is looking for the best care possible for their pet. Thank you Cassandra!”

“Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“Angeline and Dave were awesome with Zoey while I was out of town for work. Angeline made sure to send me pictures every day and it was really cool to see my pup getting along with their dog Benson. They were even thoughtful enough to put a little goodie bag with a note into her bag of stuff that I found when I got home! I’m already booked to have Zoey hang out with them again this week and I’m excited to use them again for my work trips in the future!”
“Laurie was wonderful with Gracie! I was a little nervous letting Gracie stay away but from the moment we had our meet & greet I felt very comfortable. Laurie, her sweet dog Daphne & daughter were very warm and welcoming. Laurie provided many check-ins and promptly answered all of the questions I had. I would definitely Laurie to anyone looking for a sitter and plan to use Laurie again in the future!”
“Sharon is amazing! She watched my 2 pugs for 10 days and took awesome care of them! Her knowledge of care and her experience is a huge plus! Her home is perfect with a fenced in area for the dogs to play outside. Sharon was flexible with my last minute changes to our dates and the dogs were happy and well taken care of when we picked them up. We will definitely ask Sharon to watch our boys again! Thanks, Sharon!”
