“Amber, goes above and beyond. She’s very responsive and she communicates with me daily by sending pictures and text messages. She ensures that my pet is well taken care of and I can go on vacation and not have to worry. My dog loves going over there. She gets so excited she runs around in circles. I even recommended a friend of mines to use her service and she is very happy that I recommended her.”


“Great experience all around for both my pup and I. Received several photos and videos of her daily. Priscilla seemed to take great care of her and kept her active. She’s amazing and I intend on rebooking when needed.”


“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”


“Rebeca cared for my two, beloved dogs for 8 days and did a fastastic job. My dogs ate well, enjoyed her back yard, and had no problems in her care. The photos she sent were adorable/heart-warming. Rebeca is a loving, kind person and her care of my pets was loving and kind. I recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent dog sitter.”


“After multiple bad experiences with other dog sitters, finding Connie was a huge relief. Connie allowed us to come over for a meet and greet weeks before our trip, answered all our questions and left us feeling reassured about leaving our baby. During the trip Connie sent us pictures and videos each day. She even sent the sweetest Christmas portraits and made handmade paw ornaments. Buddy had a blast and was exhausted when we brought him home! We will be using Connie from here on out.”


“Yiqiuxi and Nick were great with my two dogs. They always responded quickly which helped put me at ease that my babies were cared for, and sent great pictures. My frenchie can be a little hard headed but they cared for him well”


“Stella absolutely loved staying with Sarah and her family. I received pictures and updates daily and was at total peace knowing my pup was having the best time while we were away. I will definitely be using Sarah again for any future dog sitting.”


“Diane was amazing. She offers a welcoming environment for all types of dogs. My poodle was very comfortable and had all the amenities of home. Diane adapted her home for long boarding periods and she made sure my poodle sent me an update everyday via text! We received lots of pictures and were stress free. Diane deserves 20 Stars!”



“Heather is wonderful!! Bailey loved his first visit with her and Bombsky and just had a blast playing. We love that he got to go for a walk and that she is able to handle his kidney diet needs! We just feel so at ease knowing Bailey is in good hands and having an amazing time.”


“Megan was absolutely wonderful! I knew from the moment I read her profile that she would be the best, most qualified, and best match for my fur baby. I can not thank her enough for hosting my Rudy. She kept me informed with messages and pictures during his stay which really put me at ease and let me know we made the right decision. I will be a repeat customer.”


“Audree was an amazing rover! She was very communicative and my dogs absolutely loved her … even my little dachshund who has separation anxiety. The dogs were treated like they were her own and had a blast! Highly recommend using her :)”



“This is now my go to Sitter! I received happy and joyful pictures every day. I could tell my pup was loved and spoiled, and had a great time playing with the sitter’s pup. I’m so grateful for the great care, and it totally relieved me of all the anxiety that I normally have when leaving my pup with a sitter for a whole week. Jackie (-;”

“She is amazing!! Not only is she a dog lover, her entire family loves dogs. She sends updates and pictures continuously throughout the day, even better yet also makes homemade treats for the pups. She also took my fur baby out to the store to get him treats. She is a true dog lover!!”


“Marck was very responsive, and sent timely updates and photos of my two doggies while I was away. Dogs were fine when I got them, and they didn't show signs of anxiety like they did during their stay at other sitters. Overall, my experience was good ? Thanks Marck”


“Mickey took amazing care of my 2 fur babies, Juno and Willow. He messaged me every single day and updated me. He even sent pictures and videos of them playing! I highly recommend Mickey as a dog sitter to anyone and will surely spread the word. When I picked my babies up they were happy and healthy and even better behaved! Thank you so much! I will surely contact you again for our next family vacation!”


“Sean was amazing watching my lil pup! She is skiddish when meeting new people but he knew exactly how to handle her. I certainly recommend him to anyone in need of a sitter! Will definitely use him again!”
