“Anthony and Leslie did a fantastic job taking care of our adult golden! She’s a bit nervous in new surroundings but they found a way to curb that anxiety! She truly seemed at ease and had bonded with them! Very nice people i am totally comfortable using again!!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”

“We can't say enough good thinks about Melissa but I'll try. Our Angie we adopted only a few months ago and we were very nervous about going on a vacation we had planned. Melissa treated our baby like a princess, daily videos and messages gave us so much piece of mind knowing she was loved and cared for. We will definitely use her again and recommend this site to anyone we know. Sincerely, Rhonda, Bruce and Angie Bella”

They were in perfect condition when I picked them up, and we even got a take-home gift bag full of toys & treats! Will definitely call on Wendy when I need to board them again.”
“Our sweet Samoyed, Kash enjoyed his 10 day vacation with Jeremy! We started off with two days of doggie day care so they were both comfortable with one another before the vacation. Kash loved the fenced in back yard to run off the puppy energy. We highly recommend Jeremy and will DEFINITELY book him again.”
“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!”

I could tell my pup received a lot of attention from a wonderful family through the many updates, photos, and videos Lydia sent. While I was away, I felt like I had no worries.
